Just before bed one night, my wife asked, “What if pegasues were real?”I swear, after my wife asked that question, I couldn’t get the idea out of my head. I imagined an urban fantasy world where all the myths were real and out for the world to embrace… but they didn’t. The idea if a pegasus is great, until it poops on your car from a hundred feet up. After that revelation, the rest came easy. Blending my love of comedy and police procedurals, Agents of MORTAL: Deicide was given life. But I needed characters who were just as unliked as the myths they protect and serve.

Welcome to Avalantis, Alaska, the world’s first supercity with over 50 million myth and mundane citizens and home of those rejected by society. Although due to pesky things like murder end explosions, there are a few fewer citizens. When the former Greek god Hermes dies, three unusual cops from the Avalantis PD are recruited into a secret organization known as MORTAL, who has apparently been watching the Myths for longer than mankind realizes.

Their mission is to find and apprehend the mysterious figure known as “The Laughing Man”, the one responsible for a recent string of deaths. These three new recruits will have to use all their skill, strength, and wits to find and defeat the “The Laughing Man”. That is, if they don’t kill each other first.
