How does Mort come into it?
Due to his story needing both the father and grandfather to be 'alive' in order to be fulfilled, The Whistler's destiny always skips a generation. Making him the next Whistler taking after his grandpa. Before his grandmother was murdered, she bore a child who would later become Mort's father. Growing without a mother and being raised by essentially the torturer of his father wasn't easy, not to mention he still had to work on the ranch which would later become his own. This made him a cold and stern man also emotionally inarticulate.

Later, his father would meet the descendant of The Whistling Bird (El Pajaro Silbador) and marry her, having two children. José and María Camila. Being the eldest, Mort was given The Whistler's destiny, whilst his sister was given The Whistling Bird's, though both siblings can turn into birds.

Due to his mother's connection to Death, his father was able to localize the spirit of The Whistler and bring him back home, with the condition he would still have to continue his job when the sun went down.

Mort had the chance to be raised and trained by his grandfather to be the next Whistler. He was reluctant at first, but he was then warned that if he didn't take over that destiny, his sister would have to fill the missing spot. Of course, his grandfather is sympathetic of the boy and tries to give him tips and tricks so that his destiny would be more bearable, but to a 10 year old it can be quite morbid.

Family
José Mühler López (Grandfather|Deceased): Mort's grandfather and the curent Whistler he is technically dead but is cursed to roam the earth as a spirit. Death granted him a physical form to train his grandson. Their relationship is quite strange. José takes pity on his grandson's destiny, but still encourages him to fulfill it, saying that it will get better in the end, since, just as how he was allowed to come back to train him to take his place, he would be able to do so too and finally gain eternal rest and reunite with his loved ones in the afterlife. Mort is horrified by the idea of him having to murder others and wants to distance himself from his grandfather and anything he represents as much as possible, that's why he uses the english version of his name for formal situations and using his mother's surname as a nickname.

Pedro Mühler Vidal (Father|Alive): Mort's father and in charge of murdering his future wife. He and Mort have a distant relationship, knowing what he will do and that he will die in his own son's hands has made them be wary of one another. He is extremely strict with Mort, and shows a small bias towards Camila. Having experienced growing up without a mother, he adviced Mort from a young age not to marry, or, at least not have children so that they won't have to go through what he had to.

Claudia Mort Ruiz (Mother|Alive): The current whistling bird. She has a close relationship with his son and tends to spoil him. She is always willing to help his son whenever he is in trouble and likes to scare off Mort's potential girlfriends or Ex-Girlfriends to spare them from dying. She is also one of the few people that know Mort is attracted to men. She can turn into any kind of bird she wants, but her preferred form is a Pootoo.

María Camila Mühler Mort (Sister|Alive): Mort's younger sister by 3 years and destined to be the next Whistling Bird. She is a michevious young girl and has an extremely close relationship to his brother. They always share their secrets and tries to make his work less unbearable by joking around with him. She is the first person that discovered Mort is attracted to men and is always supportive of him, wanting Mort to end up dating Lago when he had a crush on him. Right now, she can only turn into a parrot.

Romance

 * Lago Moliere: Lago and Mort have been childhood friends and grew up, given that Death has close ties with Mort's family from his mother's side and decided to take him and his sister both under his wing. Unknowingly, Mort started to develop feelings for his best friend, but never really realised how much he liked him until he got over him. He is an idiot I know.
 * Momoka Tarō: On his first year at Ever After, he developed a super doofy crush for his fellow friend Catherine Pillar's roommate. He attempted to flirt with her multiple times and eventually gathered the courage to ask her out on a date shortly after the spring fairest. On that date, he noticed he had fallen for an idealized version of her and confessed his feelings. After multiple talks, they both figured out they liked eachother a lot more as friends and became really tight. Before he realized he liked the same gender, he used his 'crush' to hide his feelings towards Schneezly. Momoka had to smack him lots of times so that he would admit it.
 * Schneezly Weiss: Mort's current boyfriend and the actual reason he figured out he liked guys. They met at the boy's dorms when another student tried starting a fight with Schneez. Mort's response? Laughing at their poor life desicions. Later, Mort encourages him to be proud of who he is as a Drag Queen and wear dresses whenever he wants because life's too short to care about the haters. Later, Mort and Schneezly started developing feelings for one anotherand Mort... He didn't handle it well. His internalized homophobia made him at distant towards Schneezly and try to make a ton of excuses to justify his crush but he inevitably had to deal with his own feelings. When the time came to realise what he felt, he had a nervous breakdown asking his friend nonesensical questions, before pulling him into a kiss. After that, Schneezly fainted and Mort had to take him to his dorm room. After he woke up, Mort apologized and told him to forget about everything, but, instead, Schneezly also pulled him into a kiss. After that, they started dating.
