Orvax is the right hand of Emperor Manta, the tyrannical ruler of Lemuria.
History
Atlanna, the queen of Lemuria, had a son named Arthur with a man of the surface. The birth of a half-surface heir divided the kingdom and lead to a bloody civil war which Manta's forces won, imprisoning Atlanna and Arthur.[1]
Atlanna escaped her imprisonment and fled to the surface with Arthur and a band of loyalists. Manta tasked Orvax to take an army to capture her and bring her back.[2] Orvax and his men caught up to Atlanna's party on the shore of the Kingdom of the Waynes. The two forces fought on the beach outside the fortified town Leguin, until Orvax used his magic to summon a tsunami and send it crashing into Atlanna, the walls of Leguin and his own men; destroying the town and scattering both armies.[3]
Orvax's men found Atlanna's dead body while searching the battlefield. Assuming that Arthur had also perished, Orvax withdrew back to Lemuria and reported that mother and child were both dead.[1]
