Inhuman Royal Family

The Inhuman Royal Family is a group of Inhumans who, under the rule of Black Bolt, serve as the governing body of Attilan. Due to a rebellion initiated by Prince Maximus, most of the Royal Family was forced to exile onto Earth, but they eventually managed to return and reclaim control over Attilan, leading its inhabitants to a new settlement on Earth since the city was too damaged because of Maximus' actions.
==History==
===Settlement on the Moon===
An Inhuman settlement was founded on the Moon out of fear of persecution from Humans. The Inhumans having emigrated to the Moon were ruled by the Inhuman Royal Family as the main governing body of the city of Attilan to help uphold the people's custom and laws and to ensure the long term survival of the Inhuman race.
The Inhuman Royal Family traditionally consisted of the ruling monarch and the monarch's chosen relatives who helped advise and guide the monarch when it came to matters of the city and the people who lived within it. Members of the Inhuman Royal Family would also attend the Terrigenesis ceremonies conducted by the Genetic Council.
By the time of King Agon and Queen Rynda, there were two Princes known as Black Bolt and Maximus.Inhumans: 1.01: Behold... The Inhumans!
===First Rebellion===
The Inhuman Royal Family's rule was challenged by revolutionaries who intended to overthrow Attilan's caste system which the Royal Family was keen on preserving. Ambur and Quelin were among the rebels and they were executed by King Agon and Queen Rynda, who chose to spare the lives of future Queen Medusa and Princess Crystal.Inhumans: 1.04: Make Way For... Medusa
===New King and Queen===
Both the Princes Black Bolt and Maximus underwent Terrigenesis. As Maximus was much more interested in becoming King than his older brother but was prevented from that by the rules of Attilan. Therefore, Maximus sought to take advantage of Black Bolt's extremely dangerous powers as a pretext to drive him away from the throne. However, this led to the death of Agon and Rynda, thus taking away the heads of the Inhuman Royal Family. Following the event, Black Bolt accepted the role of King of Attilan and head of the Inhuman Royal Family.Inhumans: 1.08: ...And Finally: Black Bolt
Black Bolt eventually married Medusa. He surrounded himself with his brother Maximus and a number of cousins as his advisors: Karnak Mander-Azur, Gorgon Petragon and Triton. Black Bolt also welcomed Medusa's sister Crystal in the Royal Family, making her a Princess. All the members of the Royal Family were trained to fight by Gorgon and Karnak.Inhumans: 1.06: The Gentleman's Name is Gorgon
===A Revolutionary Prince===
|Maximus betrays the Inhuman Royal Family
Prince Maximus remained jealous of his brother Black Bolt who had become King of Attilan and married Medusa, who Maximus also had feelings for. Knowing that he could never ascend to the throne of Attilan through conventional means, Maximus began to secretly plot to overthrow his brother. He progressively gained the people's support by advocating the end of the rigid caste system of Attilan. Although Karnak tried to warn Black Bolt about Maximus' actions, the King never undertook any severe action against his brother, enabling Maximus to ultimately initiate his coup d'état against the rest of the Royal Family.
Therefore, Maximus, who also had gained the support of the Attilan Royal Guard, sought to capture or kill the members of his own family. However, he failed in this attempt. Thanks to Lockjaw, the different members of the Royal Family were teleported to Earth, far from Maximus' grasp. Although Maximus sent Royal Guards led by Auran to capture or kill them,Inhumans: 1.02: Those Who Would Destroy Us the Royal Family, who had arrived separately on the island of Oahu, managed to be reunited,Inhumans: 1.05: Something Inhuman This Way Comes... but at the cost of Gorgon's life, who died to protect his fellow Inhumans against Mordis.
Finally reunited, the Royal Family argued about what to do regarding Maximus' betrayal. On the one hand, while she was in favor of a violent solution, her stay on Earth somewhat changed Queen Medusa, who suggested a peaceful solution through negotiation. On the other hand, Black Bolt and Karnak advocated war against their treacherous relative. In the end, Black Bolt agreed to hold a parley with Maximus. Before returning to Attilan, Black Bolt revealed that Triton, who they believed had died during a mission on Earth, was actually alive. The Royal Family then teleported to the Moon into the Royal Bunker along with Dr. Evan Declan.Inhumans: 1.07: Havoc in the Hidden Land
===Return of the Family===
Once in the Royal Bunker, the Royal Family began to argue as Medusa confronted Black Bolt about the fact that he had hidden Triton's survival and the very existence of the Bunker. As a result, Black promised his Queen that she would be more involved in his plans in the future. Black Bolt then told the rest of his Family that they were going to war and instructed Triton to cause multiple malfunctions across the city of Attilan.
Later, the Inhuman Royal Family met with Maximus for parley. Black Bolt and Medusa offered Maximus a full pardon along with the opportunity to undergo a second Terrigenesis in exchange for the throne. At first, Maximus agreed, but once his guards took Evan Declan, he turned on the Royal Family. As a result, an open war was declared between the Royal Family and Maximus.
The Royal Family returned to the Royal Bunker. Medusa confessed to Black Bolt that the first time they met, she intended to mock him for his parents' death, but they befriended with each other instead. They were interrupted by Karnak who requested the authorization to try to revive Gorgon through Terrigenesis, but Black Bolt and Medusa refused. In the end, Karnak decided to undertake the process all the same with Auran's assistance, and although it seemed to fail, Gorgon was successfully revived moments later, but with mental flaw.
The malfunctions caused by Triton efficiently destabilized the city to the point that Maximus surrounded himself with many guards and intended to go to safety, but he was ultimately captured by Triton and taken to the Royal Bunker where he was confronted by the Royal Family. However, Maximus revealed that he had enacted a protocol which would cause the collapse of the protective dome surrounding the city, and thus the destruction of Attilan, if he was killed.
===New Life on Earth===
Facing the threat of Attilan's destruction, the Inhuman Royal Family decided to prepare for the evacuation of the city should they fail to stop Maximus. Medusa and Crystal teleported to Earth and met with Callisto Aerospace employees Louise Fisher and George Ashland, who agreed to help relocate the Inhumans on Earth. Meanwhile, Black Bolt and Triton took Maximus with them so that he could stop the collapse of the protective dome in the Control Room. However, Maximus managed to escape.
Black Bolt, Triton, Karnak and Gorgon met in the Control Room, where Karnak declared that the situation might be out of Maximus' control. The Royal Family gathered at the Royal Bunker and Medusa, like Triton and Black Bolt before her, expressed her surprise at the sight of the revived Gorgon and warned Karnak about the danger of his deeds. Medusa then suggested to try one last negotiation with Maximus while the rest of the Royal Family got ready and coordinated the possible evacuation. After the encounter between Medusa and Maximus went wrong, the Royal Family knew that they had no option left and delivered a speech to the population of Attilan, ordering the evacuation of the city.
Once all the Inhumans were evacuated, the Royal Family gathered one last time in the throne room. They all teleported to Earth thanks to Lockjaw, safe for Black Bolt, who chose to confront his brother one last time. After learning the truth about his parents' death, Black Bolt locked Maximus in the bunker and abandoned him in the collapsing city before rushing at Eldrac and reaching Earth just in time. Finally fully reunited and wearing their original royal outfits, the Inhuman Royal Family, voiced by Medusa, delivered a new speech opening a new chapter of Attilan's history on Earth.
