Born in London in 1963, Morris "Mory" Sutherland received a degree in Library Science at the University College London. Mory was always known for his high-spirits and fondness for alcohol and in 1983 was involved in the notorious "Bentham’s Head" incident.

Jeremy Bentham , the creator of the Panopticon, requested that his body be preserved, dressed in his old clothes and stored in a glass and wood cabinet. The cabinet is kept on display in the South Cloisters of University College London. The head on the body is made of wax. Bentham’s real head – dried out and somewhat shriveled -- was kept in a small steel box at his feet.

One winter, during an impromptu rugby match out on the main quad, Mory was inspired to break into the glass case, steal Bentham’s head and then use the head as a rugby ball. The university authorities called the police. Mory was arrested for theft and expelled. The head is now stored in an office safe.

Two years later, Mory reappeared as a public librarian in Brixton where he lived a fairly uneventful life until 1996 when a CCTV surveillance camera was mounted on a lamppost outside the library entrance. At first, Mory covered the camera lens with cardboard, but the authorities removed this obstacle. Two weeks after the initial incident, he was caught painting the camera lens with pink paint. Mory was arrested with vandalism of public property. (The Daily Mirror headline about the incident was: What’s He Got to Hide?)

Mory lost his library job after several appeals. His mother died in 1997 and he moved into her old house in Hampstead where he supported himself by repairing computers and selling ice cream. Gradually, he got involved in Fourth Realm research and used his librarian skills to find several previously unknown information sources. Mory was working on a major opus about the history of the Tabula and showed some of his research to friends.

In  2006, he was found dead in the kitchen of his department. According to the coroner inquest, Mory had somehow obtained 9mm semi-automatic handgun. He supposedly shot himself in the stomach and then curled his hand around to shoot himself in the back of the head. Mory did not leave a suicide note and was never known to be seriously depressed. The coroner ruled that the cause of death was suicide. In Mory’s will, he demanded that his head be removed from his body, covered by "a clear plastic coating" and then used in a game of rugby. His heirs did not honor this final request.
