Ogden Morrow is the cofounder of the OASIS. He and Halliday were best friends in high school; they were both nerds, although Morrow was more confident and charismatic than Halliday. Morrow fell in love with Kira Underwood while he was in high school, and the two later got married. Although Morrow was a co-creator of the OASIS, he came to feel that the simulation was having a negative impact on humanity, and left Gregarious Simulation Systems 10 years after the OASIS was released. After Kira was killed in a car accident, he retreated to live a quiet, reclusive life in his home in Oregon. However, before Halliday’s death he promises to keep an eye on the hunt for him, and thus when it seems as if the Sixers are going to win the hunt through unfair methods, Morrow intervenes and helps out Wade and his friends.

Morrow stayed on at GSS for five more years. Then, in the summer of 2022, he announced he was leaving the company. At the time, he claimed it was for "personal reasons." But years later, Morrow wrote in his autobiography that he'd left GSS because "we were no longer in the videogame business," and because he felt that the OASIS had evolved into something horrible. "It had become a self-imposed prison for humanity," he wrote. "A pleasant place for the world to hide from its problems while human civilization slowly collapses, primarily due to neglect."
