His face IS a mask. It shows no emotions whatsoever. It's because he wears his emotions stored in a little pendant.

This is why...

The Realm of the Dead has a caretaker, who makes sure all souls keep flowing through the Realm and go back to the living world when they should. He is Death, a cloaked creature who wears a mask. No one knows what's behind the mask, some say there is nothing behind it at all.
At some point in time Death decided to create a son to aid him. So just like Death himself, Mordecai was created out of an idea. Not entirely human. Unfortunately there was too much Death-essence residing in him and he could not cope with it. Mordecai's emotions began to live a life of their own. It became another person that goes by the name of Mordes. Mordes would sometimes take Mordecai over to try ban out the Death-essence inside of him with his emotions. Because of this the foundation was slowly being destroyed, and soon both Mordecai and Mordes would die. To prevent that from happening Death took out Mordecai's emotions and stored them in a glass pendant.

Now Mordecai holds the pendant and the memories of his emotions close to his heart...
