**Theid Theron**, is a male, mechanically enhanced and genetically modified Progenitor Zetheilian. He is one of the founding members of the **Guardians of Earth**.

## History

### Creation and Early Life

Theid was created by geneticists at the Qu Laboratories using the recovered DNA of an ancient progenitor Zetheilian, modified to make him stronger, faster, more agile, and more resilient. A few days after birth, Theid was forcibly fused with an Achrinian War Harness, which granted him control of four mechanical tentacles, tipped with advanced multi-tool weaponry, powerful energy beams and a variety of nanotech drones.

For many years Theid was the subject for Qu Labs scientists to test anything from chemicals to military weapons and everything in between. He was kept in a small enclosure amongst many other test animals used by Qu Labs and suffered constant abuse from his handlers in attempts to break his spirit, which would escalate in severity every time he attempted to escape. But even after 8 attempts Theid's will hadn't broken and finally on the ninth attempt he succeeded in escaping into New York City with many of his fellow lab animals.

### Living Wild in New York

Theid then took up a position as the leader and protector of the colony of escapees, which consisted of Chimps, Bonobos, Rhesus Macaques, Crab-eating Macaques, Pig-tailed Macaques, Vervet Monkeys, Squirrel Monkeys, Rats, Mice, Rabbits, Dogs and Cats (All of the animals in this colony had their intelligence enhanced, the non-enhanced animals fled off into the city on their own.) Theid would lead the colony to raid grocery stores for food and brought it back to their home in an abandoned apartment building. News of this animal society spread throughout the city attracting the attention of other intelligent animals including Foxes, Coyotes, Raccoons, Pigeons, Crows, Seagulls and an African Grey Parrot named Angerona.

But their escapades also attracted the attention of the people of New York, who were terrified of the animals, many attempts were made to capture the animals and send them back to Qu Labs, as the company had put out a ransom for the creatures. But Theid fended off all of them, government officials were tempted to call in the military, but Thaddeus Greene and Aidan Briggs stepped in offering to capture the animals themselves and relocate them, with the added ultimatum that if they were to fail the military was prepared to destroy every last one of them.

Greene and Briggs made a good effort, safely capturing many members of the colony, but their first encounter with Theid set them back significantly and left Aidan with a large slash wound on his left forearm.

## Personality

Theid tends to be somewhat apathetic and lazy, he has a disdain for anything formal or high class.
