Background / History
As was abducted from Atlantis as a child and spent over twenty years away from his homeland, where he both conducted research and was subjected to it. After his research succeeded, he gained control over his own life and eventually returned to Atlantis. 416
As a Holy Son of the God Cult, he inherited part of the organization's legacy and knowledge after its headquarters was destroyed and the organization fragmented. He initially sought to create humans capable of controlling the ocean, intending to name the resulting human god “Poseidon.” 416
He later abandoned the goal of creating a deity from nothing, judging it far more feasible to control a god through a human body. When Manaphy, the God of the Deep Sea, fell into slumber after the world's advancement, As regarded the absence of Phione's guardian as the opportunity he had been waiting for. 416 478
