McRory, Step One
The narrator and protagonist of Morgo the Mighty is James McRory. McRory is a pilot ( and Irishman) flying in India who takes on the wrong passenger and ends up adventuring in a massive cave system beneath the Himalayas. Morgo gives McRory the nickname “Derro” because of his red hair. “Derro” means “red” in the language of the caves.
