Ellen Clark

"I didn't have a choice."

Ellen Clark, a.k.a. "Morpheus", was a suspect in William Cochran's murders, who appeared in The Night Watch.

Background
An aspiring artist, Ellen briefly audited courses at the Glenbury College of Art and Design. There, she was mentored by William Cochran, an art teacher at the school. The two later fell in love and had a son named Charles. In 2007 at Nokomis, Florida, Charles wandered away from Ellen while she was painting and drowned in a nearby lake. Following the tragedy, Ellen split Charles's blanket with William and kept her half in memory of her son, with William doing the same. However, she was still traumatized by the loss, and in an attempt to cope with it, she became a street graffiti artist known as "Morpheus". Under this identity, she started tagging walls with her graffiti all across the U.S. to make political statements and stand up for the underdogs of society. About two months prior to "The Night Watch", Ellen learned that a homeless woman and her son took shelter in a car in Detroit and died of overheating. As a result, she traveled to Detroit and created a makeshift memorial for the two. She used her half of Charlie's blanket as a prop, hoping that it would also commemorate her son.
