Background

Mortimer "Morty" Engels runs Darkside Tours in Los Angeles, California. His nephew is Cody, who he took in after Cody's parents died.


During the events of Leprechaun 2 (1994) played by Sandy Baron

Morty is at the bar trying to sell an investment into Darkside Tours to a drunk passed out on the bar. [[Frank (Leprechaun 2)}Frank]] asks Morty to pay for the last shot he bought, but Morty sends him away. Cody and Bridget find Morty at the bar and Morty makes them wait while he gets another shot. Frank gives him another shot which he calls Red Special rye, which is just cola and water and tells Morty he is cut off. Cody takes Morty to the bathroom with a jug of ice and pours his head in it to try and sober Morty up, but it fails. Morty tells Cody they will have to cancel the tour, but Cody decides to drive the tour hearse and delay his date with Bridget.

The Desk Sergeant reads off the charges against Cody to Morty and before he leaves with Cody, Morty leaves a pamphlet of Darkside Tours with the Desk Sergeant and another police officer. Two officers bring in a Homeless Man who yells about the Leprechaun stealing his tooth. which the Desk Sergeant doesn't believe. Morty scams a free pizza for it being a minute late and Cody tells Morty he screwed up with Bridget. Cody leaves to go and try and apologize to Bridget. Cody goes back home and Morty tells him the cops are looking for him. Cody shows Morty the Leprechaun's coin, which they find a drawing of in a book. Cody then reads the book, which talks about Leprechaun's and their susceptibility to wrought iron. Suddenly the Leprechaun appears in their apartment and attacks Morty and Cody. Cody offers the coin for Bridget, but Morty reminds him he can't trust Leprechauns. They go to the pub to hide in the crowd. They hide in the restroom and Morty leaves to get a drink. Cody reminds Morty about what the Homeless Man said at the police station and Morty tells Cody the Leprechaun is in the bar. Morty challenges the Leprechaun to a drinking contest and asks Frank for a Red Special rye while the Leprechaun continues to drink Irish whiskey. The Leprechaun gets too drunk to use its magic, but hits Morty with a bottle and runs away.

Cody feeds Andretti some beef jerky and then breaks into the Go Kart manager's office. He and Morty open the wrought iron safe. As Morty goes to get the hearse, Wiggins grabs him and handcuffs him to the back of the hearse. Wiggins uncuffs Morty, who knocks him unconscious when Wiggins hears a crashing noise. The Leprechaun appears and asks Morty where Cody is and starts to attack Morty. Andretti starts barking at the Leprechaun, but is scared away by the Leprechaun. Cody tricks the Leprechaun into jumping into the safe and Cody locks him inside. While Cody goes to get some wood to make a ramp, Morty locks him inside the janitor's closet. Morty then demands three wishes from the Leprechaun and the first wish he asks for is the Leprechaun's gold. The gold then starts to appears inside of Morty's stomach, which becomes distended. Morty's second wish is to free the Leprechaun and his third wish is to have the gold taken from him. Morty is then killed when the Leprechaun slits his stomach open and takes back his gold.
