## Backstory

Amidias, born shortly after the fall of Cthulhu, was the only child of his father, Neptune. He was raised in the Sea Palace as Sea Prince, and constantly reminded by his father of his importance, and why he must learn the responsibilities of becoming ruler. Amidias, however, always disliked responsibility, and would frequently run away to spend his time elsewhere, before being caught and forced to return home. It was during one of his travels that Amidias would meet a Siren. At first, she was terrified of him, running away as he tried to talk to her. Eventually, after a few hours of this, she would become exhausted, and he would finally get a chance to confront her. She told him her name was Anahita, a member of the elusive Siren City, but also disliked her home. The two would quickly become friends, before Amidias was dragged back to his palace and punished severely for confronting a Siren. He would be told that they, the Mermen, split apart from the Sirens because the two sexes could not easily coexist, and were destined to live apart. His father then recognized Amidias's loneliness, and would then give the young Merman a pet fishron to raise. However, as much as he enjoyed the company of the young fishron, this wouldn't stop him from running away to meet up with Anahita.

Eventually, King Neptune would become fatally ill by an unknown disease, and would perish shortly after, forcing the role of Sea King on the unprepared Amidias. Amidias wanted badly to hand the title to someone else, but knew that it was his destiny to rule from the beginning. His first action was to abolish rule stating Mermen and Sirens must live separately. His subjects, however, became infuriated by this action, stating that they don't want to be under the risk of attack from the violence of the Sirens. The Sea King would then appoint Anahita his royal bodyguard, much to her surprise. She accepted the role, refusing to let him down.

For the next two decades, many of Amidias's subjects would abandon him, believing his motives to be flawed. He often felt very lonely, the only creatures who understood him being Anahita and the now matured Duke Fishron. As Yharim rose to power, Anahita was determined to protect her king from his wrath. She would go to confront the Water Elemental to make the Vow of Loyalty. As long as Amidias lived, her soul would be linked to his.

Amidias, as a major leader of Terraria, would inevitably be confronted by Yharim, who sought to release the Moon Lord in order to harness its power. Amidias flatly refused the offer, not realizing it would lead to the annihilation of his people. In his fury, Yharim had Calamitas evaporate and scorch the entire kingdom, seemingly killing every last resident. As Duke Fishron fled the calamity, in desperation for his own survival, Anahita attempted to fight off Calamitas. However, the siren was no match for the Witch of Death, and was knocked aside, every bit of her exposed flesh scarred by flames. Amidias made the mistake of attempting to tend to her wounds, leading the witch to trap him in a pile of boulders. However, rather than killing him, she just left him there, to inevitably be devoured by an oversized clam.
