Mort was married to the original founder of the town of Sandrock, even if he appears to have fallen on some hard times in more recent days. A very hardy fellow despite his frail appearance, Mort invented the straw grid concept commonly used in the town to this day. If you want to become Good Friends with Mort, our My Time at Sandrock Mort guide will help you learn what you need to know to make that happen by giving Mort Gifts and interacting with him!

Mort Relationship Perks
Like so many other non-romanceable characters (spoilers), Mort doesn't give you any bonuses for your friendship level with him.
Where to Find Mort
Most of the time, finding Mort is as simple as heading for his home, otherwise known as the graveyard shack. It's not too hard to find, tucked in a little corner behind the clinic on the outskirts of the town.

Mort Relationship | My Time At Sandrock
Honestly, your best bet when it comes to making friends with Mort is to just shower him with items that he loves. There will probably be a few personal quests as you get to know him that can also unlock more relationship points, but nothing specific has shown up just yet.
Mort Marriage
Unfortunately despite his fetching beard, you can't marry Mort.
