"Morgan" is Morgana La Fey, the fairy sorceress from Arthurian
Legend. According to some versions of the Arthur legend, she was a
half-human, half-fairy who seduced Merlin away from Arthur's side, leading
to the fall of Camelot. In others, she seduced Arthur himself, resulting
in a son who was the one to kill Arthur and bring the fall of Camelot.
She does not appear in the manga, and has no background story in the AMS
universe. She's symbolic of creatures who love someone from another world
but whose relationships were eventually doomed to failure.
She does not live in Heaven - the Fey are generally regarded to inhabit a
mist-filled realm which co-exists with earth as we know it. I'm guessing
here, but probably Fujishima has in mind Morgan's banishment to the moon
after her failed attempt at the gate. There the spirit of Celestine
eventually made itself known to her, and gave her the instructions for
breaking the seal on his prison.
She has a human form because the fey are reported to be notorious
tricksters, altering their appearance at will. The particular form she
chose was one that was undoubtedly calculated to ensnare K1.
