Mortem has been painstakingly cared for, and even upon close examination it appears as though IG-100 MagnaGuard was freshly off the manufacturing line. Absent of any scratches, dents or even the slightest imperfections, the only thing missing is the new droid smell.

Mortem has received advanced automated repair programming based on the original IG-100 MagnaGuard schematics, giving it an ability to perform or assist in the performance of self-diagnosis and self-repair of its mechanical systems. This system engages automatically upon damage, and can render the droid temporarily unavaialble while it assesses any necessary repairs before further action can be taken.

Mortem has been equipped with advanced targeting systems, enabling it to acquire targets with greater accuracy than factory a factory default IG-100 MagnaGuard. As a result, Mortem has a reduced rate of fire.

Mortem has developed a predatory nature similar to those often associated with assassin droids. As a result, Mortem will often approach a situation with the mind set of a hunter, and convey their findings as such. This can be disconcerting to others who are unaccustomed to Mortem.
