## Biography

### Early Life

A'Lars was born on January 1st, 23,525 BC in Titanos to Kronos and Daina. A'Lars was a prince of the Eternals, with Kronos being Co-King of the Eternal Nation. At an uncertain point of time, Kronos and his brother Uranos, who was also Co-King, went to war due to Uranos' warmongering. Kronos' forces were successful in defeating Uranos' forces and he and his men were banished to Uranus. Kronos later died in a lab accident, as a result A'Lars and his brother Zuras held elections to see who the people wanted to succeed Kronos as king. Both men were adored by the public, however Zuras won the election by a slim margin. A'Lars stayed on Earth for a decade, although there came to be growing discontent among A'Lars' supporters. Both A'Lars and Zuras were unwilling to fight each other for the throne, and they came up with the plan for A'Lars to leave Earth and colonize Titan. A'Lars, his wife Sui-San, and his supporters then moved to Titan and founded the city of New Titanos.

### King of Titan

A'Lars then became the King of the Titans and took the name Mentor denoting this new status. Under A'Lars' rule, the Titans achieved world peace and a technological revolution. A'Lars and Sui-San then had two children Eros and Thanos. Eros grew up to become a carefree Prince who used his position to live a carefree life although Thanos grew up to be a demented and ambitious scientist. When Thanos was 8, he caused a disaster and terrorized his mother, as a result Sui-San attempted to kill him but failed and as a result she was institutionalized. This event drove Thanos insane and A'Lars wanted to care for him, but was unable due to his work.

### War against Thanos

A few hundred years later, Thanos broke into the hospital that his mother was in and killed her before fleeing and becoming a ruthless space pirate. A'Lars sent men to find Thanos to bring him to justice and give him the help he needed, however he killed everyone sent after him. Thanos later became a world conqueror and returned to Titan in 436 BC and imprisoned A'Lars usurping him and adding Titan to his empire. Eros later freed A'Lars and the two started a revolution against Thanos. Thanos then crushed the revolt and decided to sacrifice everyone on Titan to Death, although he spared both A'Lars and Eros. Left with his kingdom dismantled and facing a genocide of his people, A'Lars and Eros then pledged to defeat Thanos. A'Lars contacted his father Kronos who had become one with the universe following his death to aid him in his quest to defeat Thanos. Kronos then created several beings to help him in his war effort, one of whom was Drax the Destroyer a warrior created from the soul of a deceased soldier named Arthur Douglass in 1944. A'Lars and his forces then attempted fight Thanos at every turn, but all attempts failed. After centuries of failed resistance fighting against Thanos, Eros met a Kree man named Mar-Vell who was a distinguished warrior in 2009 and later gained the trust of the Avengers on Earth in 2011. The group then defeated Thanos in 2014, although they failed to kill him and Thanos went into hiding. A'Lars later attempted to help Mar-Vell by finding a cure for his cancer, however they failed and Mar-Vell died in 2016.
