Nauli, Distromedes mother, had been the victim of wicked mystical forces set upon her by a sea witch. The witch had cursed her, for turning a blind eye to her own suffering earlier, as Nauli, did not want to become involved in the affairs of strangers, let alone a witch. Nauli, had been unfortunate enough too, to have caught in an underwater volcanic event, while gathering pearls for the art academy. She awoke from the catastrophe, captured and though tended to, she was now enslaved. Later, Nauli would be sold to a Naga Master, known as Phostretes, in Merceneary territories. She was a ways from home, and in a completely different world now... Phostretes was a powerful Pirate and Warrior, who had built a small empire out of his bloody work. When Distromedes was born, Nauli did not survive the birthing, and Phostretes branded him abomination and was quick to destroy the child, save for a familiar old witch, who warned him...
"The child is a beast born of the dark gods, clearly marked with their purpose, special rituals must be done to ensure the stayed wrath of these gods in the childs destruction"...
Phostretes gave the child to the sea witch, washing his hands of the creature, and the witch promised to "deal with the monster"

The old woman had what she wanted, her cursed fulfilled, she took the child in for a short time, and through dark sea magics and hard work, taught him to be her servant. War is an unpredictable thing, and eventually it found even the sea witch, and her home was destroyed, and her life lost, with her dying breath, she infused unto the servant a curse unlike any she had laid before...

"A beast of both worlds you shall walk the halls of both, but know no love from either, but armored you will bring low the vestibules of Mer, and his halls shall fall... for born by the hand of Hades and loved by the hand of Athena, like them shall the monster walk taller then men"

The child Distromedes was captured by rogue mercenaries involved int he destruction of the Sea witches home, and sold as a slave to the pits, it was not long before his size and strength landed him in the Gladitorial ring. He spent years fighting for survival, fighting to prove his worth, fighting for adoration, some semblance of worth... never to find it. His own keepers appraised him a monster, and preached of his monstrous origins to all, to sell a mightier opponent... In time the curses and leering molded Distromedes into a more frightening visage, his teeth serrated, his back and head, grew boney ridges and knots, like alligator hide. Spines grew from his flesh in fin-like ridges, talons developed upon his clawed hands, and his eyes sank into deep red pits. Bone like scales grew in to hide his mer-like properties, and in time, and through scarring battles, and victory adornments, the boy was gone, and the behemoth remained. Distromedes gained a horrific reputation for his brutal cunning, and savage strength within the pits, and even encouraged the less then savory from leagues around to see his carnage.

The pursuit of the traitor to the surface, brought Distromedes "home" directly in the path of Atlantis' furious and disciplined warriors, and in their passing, many of the mercenaries and Pirates were dealt with, and the opportunity for escape presented itself. A single Atlantean warrior took the time to break the gates to release the slaves left within the pits. Distromedes will never forget his bronze flesh or white-seafoam hair.

((I know this is not CoH graphics, but I REALLY wish I could make him look like this there... :P))

I might have to re-consider some of this characters Background... (like the Naga part, for Carcharados lineage instead...) As he clearly resembles the Carcharados "Tiger Shark" Mer. At the time of his creation, however, there was no published info on the Carcharados, or I would have already have considered the race for his story...

Hoo Hoo! Nice! I like this very much! Hints of Conan The Barbarian! :D

Saeglopur's going to just enjoy messing with Distromedes. Haha :).

I am a big fan of the weird looking Sea creature toons. I can't wait to see what you come up with, Tritonius!

CO character editor is hands down awesome, too bad CoH can't get a visual upgrade in costumes to bring up up to par (Keeps fingers crossed with GR Ultra Mode!).. Am I the only one thinking the characters and costumes look outdated?
