History

Orvax Marius was the late king and decorated mariner captain of the Atlantean Naval Fleet. He was chosen to duly wed Princess Atlanna and take kingship of Atlantis in a joint bid by the Aristocracy and Sea Force to better tithe and bind both factions. For a better part of a decade, this union would last peacefully and Orvax would father a son with Atlanna named Orm and, at an undisclosed later time; Tula his daughter and second child.

But Orvax was neither a decent father or spouse, nor was he the most stable candidate chosen for monarchy. Quickly making enemies both without as well as within his domain as many could not tolerate his flippant and often erratic behavior. Even before becoming king, Orvax would regularly abuse his military status as much as he did his former wife, leading raids on surface dwelling ships which caused the deaths of thousands. Being an adamant Atlantean xenophobe who hated airbreathing civilization, this was a well known and horrendous hobby of his. Whenever Atlanna would admonish him for these cruel acts; he would regularly beat and berate her in front of they're first born on a regular basis. Not being one who tolerates decent in the ranks of any kind.

One day when his wife gathered courage enough to leave her miserable relationship and life as queen behind, in order to be with her first love and other son whom she met on the surface world. Orvax callously boast of having already murdered both Tom and Arthur Curry in order to break her spirits, thinking this falsified news would keep her from leaving. Instead this enraged Atlanna enough to drive her Royal Scepter through his heart killing him. When Orm came to the scene she made it look like an assassins work as she cradles her son.
