King Ormor the Aquarian
Ormor, King of Amphitritis, claims direct decent from the Greek Titan named Oceanus. He attained the throne not just due to his noble blood, but by proving his worthiness as a warrior in gladiatorial combats in the blood arenas of Amphitritis, just like all the previous kings. His place as king is only supported by the senate while he can prove he is capable of holding the throne, and any sign of weakness could lead to a challenge from any noble brave enough to call him out.
Therefore, Ormor was quick to retaliate when Amphitritis was threatened by an oil rig operation that damaged the city and killed several of his people. He and a small force of soldiers destroyed the rig and killed all the workers. The Australian military quickly responded, prompting Ormor to declare war on the surface dwellers and lead a large army to Federal City. The Southern Stars were able to end the hostilities, but Ormor was unsatisfied with the resultant treaty.
Wishing to learn more about the surface dwellers, Ormor became a member of the Southern Stars, proving himself to be an effective if somewhat rash hero. Despite his time with the team, Ormor found surface dwellers difficult to understand, so he eventually left the team and returned to Amphitritis.
Ormor is an unforgiving man, seeing pollution and depredations wrought on the seas as a personal attack against his people. He has often petitioned Sea-King and the rulers of other Atlantean colonies to declare full-scale war on the surface, but so far his demands have failed to move the other leaders. This hasn’t stopped him from waging his own wars though, and he is often striking out on personal vendettas at the “surface-dwelling barbarians.”
He has numerous superpowers that lend credence to his claim of Titan ancestry, including his ability to control water, create earthquakes, and carry the Trident of the Titans, which allows Ormor to summon and control marine life, including huge aquatic monsters.
