== Abilities ==
Moreek is a unique superhero warrior in many ways: he was only one of the two [[legendary|legendaries]] to have had a documented death; and he was the only legendary to possess an ability other than insight and longevity, typical of legendaries. His fireball ability was rather weak, with several sources describing the fire as "projections", meaning that it wasn't able to do much harm. But it is reasonable to assume that Moreek was able to use it to his advantage.
Moreek's insight of a legendary is credited with his ability to evade capture for most of his life.
== Name ==
The name "Moreek" is most likely a pseudonym that he used to stress his status. His birth-given name was believed to be Masfa and it is also the name that he used in Gantolia and Yammoe in the beginning of his career. It is during his life in Yammoe, when he was able to require significant wealth and buy himself a mansion, that he began using the name of Moreek.
He was known as Masfa the Splendid among other robbers and bandits, and was massively respected by his peers. According to [[Porteek]], who briefly mentions Moreek when he details the rule of Gened, the "famed adventurer humbly introduced himself as Mosvoh". It does appear, though, that Porteek was not aware of Moreek and his activities in the south, as this became public knowledge in Asdoh and former Toor only in the beginning of the 2nd [[CSR]], whereas Porteek's historical narrative ends before that and never betrays knowledge of anything beyond 105 [[SR]].
