## Trivia

* Ya'Wara was recruited by Orin & Mera to fight with them during the war for the Atlantean throne. The Amazons were in possession of the Globe of Transportation, one of the Seven Treasures of Atlantis & weapon that could defeat Orm. During the team's time together, Ya'Wara & Orin engaged in a romance. When the war was won, Ya'Wara returned to her duties on Themyscira & discovered she was pregnant after a medical exam. Believing she could still raise the child due to her standing with Orin & the Amazons' standing with Atlantis, she went to tell Orin but discovered him to be in a relationship with Mera. Knowing her child would be seen as a bastard & would not be welcome on Themyscira, she raised the child on her own. She took on the name Kako & moved to Alaska, where she raised her son **Koryak**.
* If it was up to his mother, Koryak probably would have never known of his Atlantean heritage.
* After Ya'Wara got word of a friend's death, she became reaquainted with the Others. Orin confronted her on her disappearance & lack of communication with him & Amazons. She revealed she had given birth to his son, something that is not allowed in Themyscira. Discovering he had a teenage son in the midst of his wife being pregnant with their first child. Words were exchanged & there was a mild altercation but the two came to the agreement that Orin would take their son back with him to Atlantis to learn about his amphibious nature while Ya'Wara would return to Themyscira for her punishment.
* He's a bit of a rebel but Arthur associated that to the revelation that he was his father.
* Koryak abdicated when he turned eighteen. He believes it is AJ's destiny to rule.
