## History

### Early Life

Amilios Warrior was born to Heracles, god of heroes, strength, and bravery and Megara, Princess of Thebes, in Thebes, Greece. Amilios was the youngest of his brothers and lived a fairly normal childhood for the first few months of his childhood, but before he even turned one year old, the goddess Hera drove his father insane which drove Heracles to kill Megara and his brothers (Therimachus, Deicoon, and Creontiades), however, Hera took away Heracles' insanity before he could kill Amilios. Heracles shakily picked up his youngest son and was stricken with grief when he realized what he had done. Heracles comforted Amilios who was crying and went to the oracle on how to atone for the crime he did, and the oracle told him that he would have to serve Eurystheus, and do what ever he tells him to (just imagine the 12 labors of Heracles with a baby strapped to his chest)

### Childhood (The 12 Labors of Heracles)

Through out his childhood, Amilios was brought along on his father's tasks since Heracles didn't trust anyone in Eurystheus kingdom to watch his son, so Heracles chose to take him on his tasks. Heracles' first task was to slay the Nemean Lion and bring back its skin, which Heracles decided to wear (Amilios described it as "very soft"). For his second labor, to slay the Lernaean Hydra, Heracles took with him his nephew (and Amilios cousin), Iolaus, as a charioteer. When Eurystheus found out that Heracles' nephew had helped him he declared that the labor had not been completed alone and as a result did not count towards the ten labours set for him. Eurystheus' third task did not involve killing a beast, but capturing one alive—the Ceryneian Hind, a golden-horned hind or doe sacred to Artemis. Heracles knew that he had to return the hind, as he had promised, to Artemis, so he agreed to hand it over on the condition that Eurystheus himself come out and take it from him. Eurystheus did come out, but the moment Heracles let the hind go, she sprinted back to her mistress, and Heracles departed, saying that Eurystheus had not been quick enough.

When Heracles returned with the Erymanthian Boar, Eurystheus was again frightened and hid in his jar, begging Heracles to get rid of the beast; Heracles obliged, though Amilios was sad to see the bore leave. The fifth labour proposed by Eurystheus was to clear out the numerous stables of Augeias. Striking a deal with Augeias, Heracles proposed a payment of a tenth of Augeias' cattle if the labour was completed successfully. Not believing the task feasible, Augeias agreed, asking his son Phyleus to witness. Heracles rerouted two nearby rivers (Alpheis and Peneios) through the stable, clearing out the dung rapidly. When Augeias learned of Heracles' bargain for the task, he refused payment. Heracles brought the case to court, and Phyleus testified against his father. Enraged, Augeias banished both Phyleus and Heracles from the land before the court had cast their vote. However, Eurystheus refused to credit the labor to Heracles, as he had performed it for payment. So Heracles went and drove Augeias out of the kingdom and installed Phyleus as king. Heracles then took his tenth of the cattle and left them to graze in a field by his home, a four year old Amilios riding on one of the cattle

For his sixth labour, Heracles had to drive the Stymphalian Birds off the marshes they plagued. He did so, shooting down several birds with his Hydra-poisoned arrows and bringing them back to Eurystheus as proof (Though Heracles had to remind his son *several* times not to touch the dead birds). For his seventh labor, Heracles captured the Cretan Bull. He used a lasso and rode it back to his cousin. Eurystheus offered to sacrifice the bull to Hera his patron, who hated Heracles. She refused the sacrifice because it reflected glory on Heracles. The bull was released and wandered to Marathon, becoming known as the Marathonian Bull. When Heracles brought back the man-eating Mares of Diomedes successfully, Eurystheus dedicated the horses to Hera and allowed them to roam freely in the Argolid. To acquire the belt of Hippolyte, queen of the Amazons, was Heracles' ninth task. This task was at the request of Eurystheus' daughter, Admete. For the tenth labour, he stole the cattle of the giant Geryon, which Eurystheus then sacrificed to Hera. To extend what may have once been ten Labors to the canonical dozen, it was said that Eurystheus didn't count the Hydra, as he was assisted, nor the Augean stables, as Heracles received payment for his work. For the eleventh labor, Heracles had to obtain the Apples of the Hesperides; he convinced their father, the Titan Atlas, to help him, but did his share of work by temporarily holding up the sky in the Titan's stead. For his final labor, he was to capture Cerberus, the three-headed hound that guarded the entrance to Hades. When he managed to bring the struggling animal back, the terrified Eurystheus hid in his jar one more time, begging Heracles to leave for good and take the dog with him.

### A Father's (Brief) death)

When Amilios was around fifteen years old, his father had taken Deianira as his wife. Travelling to Tiryns, a centaur, Nessus, offers to help Deianira across a fast flowing river while Heracles swims it. However, Nessus is true to the archetype of the mischievous centaur and tries to steal Deianira away while Heracles is still in the water. Angry, Heracles shoots him with his arrows dipped in the poisonous blood of the Lernaean Hydra. Thinking of revenge, Nessus gives Deianira his blood-soaked tunic before he dies, telling her it will "excite the love of her husband". A couple months later, rumor tells Deianira that she has a rival for the love of Heracles. Deianira, remembering Nessus' words, gives Heracles the bloodstained shirt. Lichas, the herald, delivers the shirt to Heracles. However, it is still covered in the Hydra's blood from Heracles' arrows, and this poisons him, tearing his skin and exposing his bones. Heracles then uproots several trees and builds a funeral pyre on Mount Oeta, which Poeas, father of Philoctetes, lights. As his body burns, only his immortal side is left. Through Zeus' apotheosis, Heracles rises to Olympus as he dies, along with taking his son with him, though Amilios thought his father literally died right in front of him and was crying.

### Life On Olympus

After his death in the pyre, Heracles ascended to Olympus as a god, Amilios becoming a demigod in the process, and having finally reconciled with Hera, he got her daughter Hebe as his fourth and final wife. They had two sons together, Alexiares and Anicetus. When Amilios was seventeen, his father and step-mother made him immortal, wanting him to experience the ever changing world as they would, saying right by their sides. He would train with his father, teaching him how to use many weapons, but preferring to use a sword most of the time. While living on Olympus, he met Arcadia (Atalanta's daughter), Jaden (Jason and Medea's son), Calix (Theseus and Ariadne's son), and Ophelia (Orpheus' daughter) and became friends with them, creating a group, and often snuck down to Earth to have small adventures across the cities.

### Coming to Camp

It wasn't until the start of the war with Gaia was then the group of five came to camp. While visiting the city of Big Bear, They ran into another group (Athanasia's group) and, due to not really knowing each other, accidentally caused a fight. It wasn't until the "leader" actually asked who they were and what they were doing. Jaden said they weren't doing anything to which another boy (Phoebus) asked if they *weren't* with Gaia, two which Jaden, very confused asked "Who the hell is Gaia". After that little mishap, the other group took Amilios and friends to their camp, explaining who they were, about the whole thing with Gaia, and apologizing for trying to harm them. Amilios was claimed as a son of Heracles, but moved into The Zeus Cabin as a legacy of Zeus

## Personality

As iconic and warm as the yellow sun, but infinitely more approachable, Amilios is rightfully regarded as altruistic and righteous, if not supremely unsure and cautious of all things. Raised with the values and ideals of two working class commoners, he absolutely dedicates himself to combating conflict and defending others, and has done so since before he was even aware of his birthright as the son of Heracles. Because of this, selflessness is his default, and he is often insistent on providing his services to those around him, to the point of personal exhaustion. He’s often found “on guard” during free time, escorting his fellow campers to wherever they need to go, or throwing himself between enemies, and generally ends up late to his own courses or other obligations because of it. However, despite the resulting stereotypes, Amilios lands nowhere near the “dumb jock” branch of storybook heroes, and would truly flourish in school and geekdom if he ever allowed himself outside the duties of a hero. Unfortunately, the “dumb jock” assumption isn’t helped by his inherent inability to grasp the various nuances of life. He perceives the world around him not only as a fairytale, but as a comic book, too. Full of heroes and villains, good and evil, time enough to live forever, and so whether it be something as simple as a sarcastic quip or something as serious as skirting around bad news, Amilios isn’t really equipped to read between the lines. As a result, “intent” usually has to be explained and laid out before him, and given that he’s prone to looking at the sunny side of things, he’ll usually end up in circles before the truth finally sinks in. In the same way Amilios' powers are affected by the wanes and waxes of his own mentality, so is his confidence while carrying out his heroic endeavors. Despite how in-control, responsible, and downright epic he comes across in action, the lad is constantly wracked with the burdens of potential failure. And given his destined line of work, defending freedom and preserving the lives of the innocent, this is a failure he feels he can never afford to dabble in. As unfortunate as it is, the risk of truly harming another soul by mishap eats away at him constantly. It’s an issue he’s not particularly sure if other heroes have faced, and because he has no one to inquire to, this only provides him with further doubts on his potential to carry out the legacy laid before him properly, and whether or not it will be worth it in The End. Perhaps it’s just on a fundamental level that Amilios feels like he “owes” little pieces of himself to those around him. He owes his youth to his adoptive parents, his future to his father, his life to Camp, and his abilities to essentially everyone who might need them at any given time. Due to this, he hasn't taken the time to research hobbies outside of his family's work or his destiny as a demigod, and thus might come across as "bland" or "vanilla" to anyone who doesn't know any better. In reality, Amilios is just a hero who's made himself a victim to burnout. He was on track towards developing his own identity like any other teenager before destiny rolled along and robbed him of a future, and even after his quest he still feels that it's not his to reject. For all his talk on "free will", he hardly follows his own advice, to his immense mental detriment. But with his own demons aside, Amilios is still found perpetually optimistic and hopeful, and carries and motivates himself through his troubles with the thought of there always being another person he and the other heroes of Camp Olympia could inspire. He loves his family, loves the realms he has the privilege of defending, and most of all, loves humanity and their capacity for good. "After all," he thinks, "why was chivalry put here in the first place?"
