At the Battle of Trafalgar, Mortiferus and his formation supported the southern column of British ships.

Like Lily and Excidium, Mortiferus caught the Dragon Plague that circulated among the British dragons after Trafalgar and had to be isolated, as Longwings unintentionally spit some acid each time they sneeze.
