After Sabbath attained the rank of Godfather, Morlock helped conduct a ritual to fortify Sabbath's timeline by killing his ancestors. In part, Morlock did this because he it would give him the chance to search for new Faction recruits. When they came to 1899 to murder Fiora Venn, Morlock took interest in Emma James. Any plans to recruit Emma were put to a swift end when Morlock saw that Fiora was already pregnant with Sabbath's grandfather, meaning that Emma would have to be killed in Fiora's place.
