Leander Brent

## Background

### 1988 - 2012: Regin

Born Regin, he is the son of Tritonian Illya & her deceased husband. His mother possesed the role of Atlantis' Chronicler. She had inherited the role from her father, who had inherited from his father. Her position made her highly respected in social circles despite the animosity between residents of Tritonis & the capital Poseidonis. However, Regin did not subscribe to this ideology & did not care for the hatred between the two city-states. His outlook led to him becoming good friends with fellow Tritonian Lori Lemaris, another free thinker that was the child of a respected official.

When Regin was twelve, his mother was killed while shark hunting with her friends. With his father already deceased, Regin was taken in by his last living relative, his uncle Britton. As the son of the last chronicler, many expected Regin to take on his mother's former position. But he had no desire to do so, feeling he was too young & wanted to live a life free of bureacruacy. Instead, his uncle took on the role.

The next few years were tumultuous for Atlantis, specifically the royal family. Queen Atlanna was murdered by a group of rebels, who were believed to be in league with her first born son Orin. He was chased out of the capital & the throne was passed on to ther youngest son, Orm Marius. Life under King Orm's rule was not one that many Tritonians enjoyed, deepening their dislike for the capital's residents. A year into his rule, Orin returned to clear his name & with the Trident of Atlan. After it was revealed that Orm killed his mother, all the kingdoms (Tritonis included) supported Orin as their new King.

Around this time, Regin was able to convince his uncle to let him enroll at the Conservatory of Sorcery alongside his friend Lori. Despite their age difference, the two remained close at school though he did not care for some of the new friends that Lori made, like Ronal. Ronal & some other individuals shared the belief that only real "Atlanteans" should be allowed at the school & those with inhuman attributes, like La'gaan or Topo, were demmed impure. Regin did not agree to this ideology & told Lori that she should end her relationship with Ronal (probably partly due to his crush on her).

Their rivalry became solidified after Regin, Lori & La'gaan formed the Landlovers, a group fascinated with the surface world. Though their main focus was their interest in humans, the group also stood as the "enemy" of those that considered themselves to be Purists. The group eventually come to physical blows in 2012 when Ocean Master led an assault on the capital after Aquaman's decision to induct Atlantis as part of the United Nations. After the Purists were incarcerated & Atlantis was officially inducted into the UN, Regin decided to make the move to the surface world along with some other Atlanteans.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Atlantean Physiology:** Due to generations of living under the sea, Atlanteans have evolved greatly.
	+ ***Amphibious Nature*:** Like all Atlanteans, he can breathe both water & air but must return to the aquatic environment at various intervals. The length can be prolonged by the humidity in the atmosphere.
	+ ***Enhanced Durability*:** He is able to survive the crushing depths of the ocean, where 1086 pounds of force per square inch are applied. His body is highly impervious to physical injury. Leander possesses dense flesh like all Atlanteans, although he is not invulnerable. Piercing wounds still have the same effect on him.
	+ ***Enhanced Strength*:** He possess strength more than the average human.
	+ ***Enhanced Vision*:** Leander can see in the pitch darkness in the depths of the sea, which also allows her to see well on land when it is nighttime.
	+ ***Enhanced Hearing*:** His hearing is much greater than the average human.

### Weaknesses

* **Clumsiness:** Despite his powers, he is highly incompetent & incredibly clumsy. He frequently trips in battle, though by sheer luck, he tends to fall on his opponents which incapaciates them.
* **Dehydration:** As Atlanteans' natural habitat are underwater, they are weakened when exposed to high temperatures & dry conditions. Atlanteans can only exist outside of water for a limited period of time without submerging themselves in water or else they will dehydrate & ultimately die. Proximity to fire will speed up the rate of dehydration

## Trivia

* He would have become the next chronicler after his mother's death. Instead, he asked for his uncle to take the role as he had no interest to do so.
* He was first introduced to the surface world in the early 2000s after Aquaman made his debut as a superhero & joined the Justice League.
* He met the other members of Superior Five in a chat room. They eventually decided to come together to create a superhero team. After months in action, it became clear that the group resulted in more property damage than the diminishment of crime. They were brought in by the DEO & essentially were forced to disband. However, Niles Caulder found the group to be quite fascinating & used some of his pull with Bones to get the team relocated to Danny the Street so that he could study them.
* Unlike many other natives of Tritonis, he is not one of the Mer-people, meaning he does not possess the lower tail of a fish.

## Notes

* He is a composite of Leander Brent & Regin.
* Being Atlantean is a nod to roysovitch's Earth-27 & him being a parody of Aquaman.
* His girlfriend Fiona is a composite with Angel Fish.
* In the comics, he is the son of Mermaid & Mister Might, who are parodies of Lori Lemaris & Superman respectively.
* Being a native of Tirtonis is quite ironic as his mother Illya hated Tritonians in the comics.
