==Background==
Theos was born in the capital city of Gorias, Lysanos, in 1430. His father, Thyros, was the most eminent of the five Kings of Atlantea and therefore had been crowned Emperor. On the day of Theos’s birth, a great feast was held to celebrate the coming of his heir. The other four Kings attended, as well as minor nobles, and the Five Viziers of the Kings. Each Vizier brought a gift, a blessing to bestow upon the new-born prince, as was the custom. The Vizier of Gorias bestowed upon him Luck, Finias gave him charm, Antillia gave him Strength of Mind and Murias gave him Wisdom and Piety. However, the King of Falias was jealous of Thyros’s power, and commanded his Vizier to bestow a curse on the Prince. The Vizier of Falias, therefore, cursed Theos with terrible cowardice.
As Theos grew, the extent of the curse became known. The Prince, though quite skilled with a weapon, never dared train in case he cut himself. He wouldn’t sleep with the lights off, and he was scared of going out. Even his sister, Princess Thelias, showed more bravery than him. Worried that he wouldn’t make a suitable heir, the Emperor sent Theos abroad, to Iaurdor, alone and unarmed, save for a rusty sword and his servant Algrun. Thyros assumed that it was the only way that Theos would become brave. It didn’t work however- Theos had many adventures and, through luck, defeated many opponents. Yet the curse proved too strong, and Theos returned five years later, still a coward.
Resigned, the Emperor accepted that when he died the Empire would be given to the king of Falias. Yet, he was in luck- the Council of the Golden Hall was forming a Company to help retrieve the Shards of the Sword of Kuros. Theos volunteered, not through bravery, but because he was offended that Atlantea had been left out. Therefore, he left on one of the most dangerous quests the world had seen.
Theos proved himself many times during the quest; his wisdom, his cunning, his sense of preservation. Yet Bravery still did not show. This changed, however, when Valkrist, heir to Kuros, was slain by a Logurti. The Gods, seeing that Theos was a descendant of the Spartisa, transferred Kuros’s soul into Theos, altering him. Theos, though still himself, gained Valkrist’s courage and strength, and thus was the curse broken. Even more importantly, Theos wielded the Sword of Kuros, and slew the Death Queen in single combat. He became a hero, and the saviour of Gaiana.
Upon his father’s death, Theos’s deeds had assured he would be crowned Emperor. He now rules Atlantea wisely, and bravely, and often leads his legions into battle personally. His friendship with King Lexus has ensured a strong alliance with the Argani, and made the Empire even stronger.
