Inhuman Royal Family

The House of Agon was the ruling family of the Kingdom of Attilan, founded by King Agon I.

Following the fall of Attilan during Maximus Boltagon's coup, first Blackagar Boltagon and later Medusalith Amaquelin lead New Attilan. However, they were eventually ousted by a popular uprising, and the possition of King of the Inhumans was replaced by the elected President of New Attilan.

The surviving members of the family remain important cultural and political figures in Providincian culture, although only Karnak Mandazur holds an official government position.

History

The first King of the Inhumans was Agon, who lead the anscestors of the Attilanian Inhumans to the Moon after the Unspoken drove off the Kree from Earth.

Using Kree technology, Agon and his followers constructed a dome on the dark-side of the moon, with air and water filtration systems to sustain life, and began constructing the city of Attilan.

Over the three millennia that followed, Agon's descendants ruled over Attilan. The only serious challenge to their power came from the Genetic Council, who were empowered by Sybak I from an advisory role to arguably weilding more power than the Royal Family.

Although they maintained a policy of isolation towards Earth, rarely communicating even with the similarly ancient Inhuman civilisations of Orollan and Utollan, they built friendly relations with the other races which made up the Universal Inhumans.

During the reign of Blackagar Boltagon, the King's apparently unpowered brother Prince Maximus staged a coup, banishing his brother and cousins to Earth, and dispatching members of the Royal Guard to kill them.

Although Blackagar and his family were able to defeat Maximus, Maximus chose to destroy the dome which protected Attilan from the void of space. The Royal family lead an exacuation to Earth, but where not able to prevent the destruction of Attilan.

On earth, King Blackagar lead the Attilanian refugees as they worked with Avengers Idea Mechanics to construct Providence Island and founded New Attilan. However when it was revealed the Maximus had not only survived, but had devised a method of amplifying this powers sufficiently to be able to mind-control others, Blackagar was deposed by his wife Medusalith Amaquelin (who, as a first cousin of Blackagar, was also a member of the House of Agon and in line for the throne) who became Queen Regnant of the Inhumans.

Despite the transfer of power, the increasing NuHuman population of New Attilan opposed the existence of an absolute monarchy, and enough of the surviving Attilanians had lost faith in the House of Agon that Medusalith was ousted by a popular uprising, and New Attilan declared itself to be a republic, creating the New Attilan Parliament and electing a President.

Although no longer holding political power (Medusalith retains the title of Queen of the Inhumans, but her power extends only over the ruins of Attilan, and she has declared that the title will die with her), seven members of the House of Agon survive, and they remain important figures in Providincian culture.
