### Background: Messinian Epoch

Approximately 5.9 Million years ago, the Titans' overthrew their father Ouranos. Following this, the Titans began to impose their own designs on the Earth, weakening their mother Gaia. One example of this was damming the Strait of Gibraltar, causing the slow evaporation of the sea which was a symbol of their mother's power and bore her name.

If Gaia were to ever reclaim the Earth from her usurping children, she would need to restore the Mediterranean Sea — not only for to restore the esoteric balance, but also a symbolic act of defiance against the Titans.

A daimon named Pontus agreed to help the Primordial mother in this pursuit, in exchange for being named God of the Sea. Once a deal was reached, the two daimons engaged in an intimate ritual with her that gave rise to a storm so powerful that the dam broke and the basin was flooded.

### Eurybia: Pliocene Epoch - Present

With the Zanclean Deluge which restored the Mediterranean, a new age began. Eurybia's birth would soon follow, born of Gaia in the depths of the restored sea. Knowing the Titans would retaliate for her act of defiance, Gaia feared for the safety of her primordial daughter.

To protect Eurybia, Gaia has implanted a heartstone upon her young daughter. it was smaller stone than those of the Titans, but still potent. It was Gaia's hope that by giving her such a stone the Titans would not see Eurybia as a threat, but would consider her useful enough to keep close.

Before the Titans found their mother, Gaia instructed Eurybia in the lessons she would need to know to survive among the Titans. She taught her daughter to feign weakness while consolidating power, to lie so boldly that none would question her, and to do whatever it took to survive.

When Gaia was captured, she was imprisoned by Tartarus, the prison created from the esoteric remains of Ouranos. Meanwhile Eurybia was sent off to marry the Titan Krios in order to bring him back into the fold.

After the seduction of Krios, Eurybia discovered the Titan had kept his distance with other Titans out of guilt for his part in slaying Ouranos. Eurybia saw him as a powerful ally to use against the other Titans and so instead of bringing him back, she stayed in isolation with him. The two had children, some of which Eurybia sent to infiltrate the Titans.

The Titans' war with the Olympians unsettled Eurybia's plans. Krios wrestled with helping his siblings or leaving them to the punishment they deserved. Meanwhile, Eurybia tried to sway Krios to ally himself with the Olympians. She failed to convince Krios until it was too late.

Eurybia likely struck down Krios herself before surrendering to the Olympians. She was allowed to keep her freedom, but have five of the six souls of her heartstone harvested. But what the Olympians did not know, is that she was not a true Titan and her primordial body was able to retain the power of souls. She may have given up five souls, but she had combined Krios' twelve souls with her own dozens of primordial souls.

With her immense power, Eurybia explored the cosmos. She eventually returned to Earth when the Olympians' powers was waning. Eurybia did not expect them to free Gaia when they abandoned Earth. Changing her plan, Eurybia began recruiting powerful allies and organizing an agenda to overthrow her mother. So was born the Eurybian College of the Occult.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) As Gaia's natural born daughter, Eurybia stands to inherit the mantle of Mother Earth, should Gaia be destroyed. In a way, Eurybia was Gaia's insurance policy that if she should be killed, that there would be a new being able to oppose the Titans. Unfortunately, this insurance policy has backfired. Eurybia now intends to claim her inheritance though violence.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

#### General

* Eurybia is a Titaness of myth described as "having a heart of flint within her." She is the bastard daughter of Pontus and Gaia. She was known as having power over the elements. During the Titanomachy she chose not to choose any sides in the conflict. However, as she did not support the victorious Olympians and was a Titaness herself, a punishment was required. In lieu of being imprisoned with the other Titans, five of her six souls were extracted from her heart stone. Rings were forged from the five shards of her heart. These rings were given to Zeus' throne guard, but were later left with Gaia upon the Olympians' departure from Earth. Eurybia's remaining soul was still immortal and with that immortality, she slowly built a base of power, gathering allies and resources, patiently waiting for the day Gaia would leave her hidden island. Eurybia is the namesake of the ECO and its leader... or she was until recently...
* Moccus is her oldest ally.

#### Dragan Nükaum

* Three years following the Manhattaning she approached Herceg Nükaum about inducting his son into the ranks of the College. The Herceg did not think his son was suitable to the esoteric but did not question the judgment of his grandmistress. Shortly after Drago's eleventh birthday, he began to study the occult being mentored first by his father and quickly progressing to where the true sorcerers of the College's inner circle were mentoring the boy, and finally to the point where Eurybia herself was preparing him for the final steps before his official indoctrination in time for the first full moon following eighteenth birthday. At the indoctrination ceremony, the Herceg was surprised to find Drago was given the rank of Proctor - making his son his superior within the College, something rather unheard of for a boy his age. As part of the rise to such a rank, there was a ceremonial mating ritual where the College's grandmistress offered herself to be the partner to the College's newest proctor — another absolute rarity. The Herceg left Drago's ceremony early, out of disgust.
* Soon after the ritual he questioned his son about his relationship to the grandmistress. Drago denied there was anything other than a mistress and her pupil. The Herceg did not believe it and believed the grandmistress had seduced his son or he had seduced her for favorable treatment with the college. In the following argument, Drago accused his father of being jealous of his ability. This upset the Herceg so he made an ultimatum for his son to inherit the title of Herceg upon his death, he would have to abandon the College and join the military — to learn the value of discipline.
* When Dragan was executed she attended the execution and captured his soul in the mended heartstone of her former husband, the Titan Krios. With the aid of the College, she then reanimated the lifeless corpse of her dead husband.

### Notes

* While most of the villains in ECO are reimaginings of the Eco-Villains from the *Captain Planet* animated series, Eurybia is essentially a stand-in for Captain Pollution.
* In the original series, Captain Pollution was a deranged duplicate of Captain Planet, created by combining the powers of the Rings of Destruction.
