Morte starts with 20 HP, an AC of 4, and a CON of 16, which can be upgraded to 18. Vhailor starts with 100 HP, an AC of 2 (lower is better), and a CON of 18.

Aw, come on. You -get- Morte at level 2, right at the beginning. You get Vhailor at level 9, damn close to the end of the game. Morte can gain as much as 98 hit points (7 * 14, assuming he's been upgraded) on his way to level 9 - which he can easily get to and even surpass by the time you find Vhailor, and which puts him at 18 more hit points at the same level.

So, Morte has potentially 118 hit points at level 9, with 75% damage resistance, versus Vhailor's 100 hit points at level 9, with 0% damage resistance. Effectively, Morte can soak over 4 times the damage Vhailor can. And even if Vhailor had 400 hit points, FFG wouldn't be able to heal fast enough to keep up with a decent damage dealer, healing Morte, she can.

Also, Morte's AC improves by 2 when you upgrade him (due to the +2 DEX bonus), so his and Vhailor's AC is essentially the same.
