^{NEW AGE CANON HISTORY}

• Absolute gutless "loser" who worms his way out of taking responsibility for anything while actively becoming the victim of everyone. He has been used be several prominent figures in history to achieve their goals. He was a victim of extreme childhood abuse and wasn't mentally well from the beginning of his life, which is partially why he is the way he is.
• Accidentally killed his brother. They were wrestling in the stables after his brother insulted Bee's main steed, which resulted in the horses becoming spooked and the brother's head getting kicked in by Bee's horse. Bee never confessed to this, however, and claimed that he found his brother like this (he didn't want his horse to be killed as retribution/punishment). He confessed his sin to King Proetus instead.
• King Proetus' wife, Antea, was a miserable and neglected woman who was seeking out any sort of attention from another man, so when Bee arrived on the scene she lingered near him constantly. She leaned into his fascination and love over horses and Bee, being the loser he is, believed that she was just interested in horses herself and not him. Antea mistook Bee's eagerness as flirting and interest and played harder into it - eventually attempting to engage in a sexual act with him when he was asleep, but he awoke and immediately rejected her. The queen ran off and told her husband that Bee sexually assaulted her and he was sentenced to death via the hands of King Iobates. King Iobates promptly decided to send Bee on a suicide mission to kill the savage Chimera.
• Bee met Perseus during this death sentence of a task. He was guided by Athena, who had been sent by Bee's true father, Poseidon, to ensure the safety of his idiot son. Athena led him in the direction of Perseus, the mighty slayer of Medusa, to hand over the famed winged horse and inadvertent child of Medusa, Pegasus. Perseus begrudgingly gave Bee Pegasus, whom he had locked away and neglected terribly, solely because he is absolutely fucking terrified of Athena (despite him stating otherwise when she's not around).
• Bee was able to nurse Pegasus back to health in a short time, living off of the land and studying the Chimera's patterns from afar. He killed the Chimera basically on happenstance - despite the depiction via lore being him slaying the beast with a sword it was actually predominately Pegasus' strength that ended the beast's life. Pegasus beat the pulp out of the beast's head while Bee was pinned beneath it and being shredded to the high heavens, and when the Chimera turned its attention to Pegasus to bat them away, Bee stabbed it squarely in the chest.
• Iobates was pretty impressed by Bee's ability to kill the Chimera and promptly sent him on his way to slaughter the Amazonian tribe that had been "troubling" him (more misogynist bullshit, really). Again, there is tremendous grandeur over this tale - the truth of the matter is that Bee was scared shitless of the tribe and was literally running away from them when Iobates' bet soldiers came to ambush Bee as a test of his strength. The Amazonians killed Iobates' soldiers after Bee told the tribe as a white flag/peace offering to spare his life. The king was led to believe that Bee killed both and was even more impressed by the young man's prowess; he was forcefully wed to one of Iobates' daughters and they had an extremely loveless marriage. However, this marriage did make Bee the sole heir to Iobates' wealth.
• The subsequent death of Bee was actually because Perseus was a pissbaby over Bee keeping Pegasus and not wanting to return the beast to his neglectful hands. Perseus went and cried to Zeus about it, stating that the beast was rightfully his and he wanted it back. Zeus, exasperated and not wanting Hera to know about his illegitimate son being a whiny POS, ordered Athena to summon Bee to Olympus for a "meeting" knowing that he would have to travel to the palace on Pegasus. While Bee was on his way to the palace, Zeus struck him down with a lightning bolt and snatched Pegasus, who was given back to Perseus. Bee fell from the heavens and died.
• His death was short-lived. When Poseidon found out that one of his famed sons had been killed by his own brother, well, he couldn't have that, so he revived the demigod a few centuries later (took a little bit for him to get around to that task, but, y'know).
• Bee was worse off mentally when he came back, his paranoia was beginning to set in as a cornerstone of his personality. Poseidon sent Delphin to fetch his son and bring him back to Atlantis, which he did. Bee spent some time in Atlantis with his father and co., but did not stay long as he failed to show any initiative when it came to leadership and couldn't stand up to Delphin in any respect. He was also terrified of Limos and Lyssa, who were regular sightings in the underwater palace. Also, uh, no horses? That's a dealbreaker. He had to be back up on land so he could have a proper stable - when he told Poseidon this, he agreed, and shipped him back to Gaia. He also just handed over a huge stable of horses for his mentally unwell son to take care of.
• Bee lived in isolation with his horses and farm for some time before Skotadi came into the picture, all by coincidence. He was trying to capture a beast that had roamed Bee's property and was upsetting his horses. Bee, accidentally, helped capture the beast to Skotadi's delight. Skotadi offered him a position as a captor, wording it slightly differently, and (absolutely terrified of this strange man), Bee agreed.
• Bee acted as a captor for some length of time and tamed several of the horse-based beasts that were stabled by the vicious keeper. Bee was too scared to flee from this situation but was always actively looking for ways out. Aeneas was not only a "coworker" but also a co-conspirator in leaving Skotadi's ranks. In the end, Aeneas sacrificed his own freedom for Bee's, acting as a cover as the skittish "hero" fled into the night with a few of the more horse-esque beasts in tow.
• Over the next few centuries, Bee worked in various positions centered around horses. He was a coachman for a huge chunk of his life and met many individuals during the years when carriage taxis were a prominent fixture in everyday life. Trelo and Angelo are just two of these individuals.
• His mental health continued to decrease as the years passed by, with ongoing plagues, wars, and other global tragedies consistently barraging him either personally or interpersonally, he found himself struggling more and more to accomplish basic tasks. He had a pretty horrific psychotic break in the middle of the street during the early 1960s, he threatened multiple people with a pitchfork and ranted on about historical bygones of his history (which made him look more mad). He was mandated to an asylum for a "short stay" to recover. This is where he met Maniae, or Parafrosýni, and Dolos, aka Darling. They "treated" him during his stay, decreasing his mental health even further.
• After his release in 1975, Bee was never the same. Aeneas happened across him by the mercy of the fates and took him under his wing, essentially becoming his caregiver, and continues to act as one. Bee met the others, excluding Perseus, through Aeneas, and considers them a weird eclectic family despite the continued abuses he receives from them.
• He currently acts as the main stableman and horse trainer at the encampment. He doesn't want to be involved in the war at all, but has followed Aeneas blindly because he's the only person he trusts.

^{NEW AGE CANON HISTORY}

• A privileged upbringing is evident in the way he acts at times, especially when he touts on about his first actual notable point in history: The Argonauts. he wouldn't take anything seriously and thought it was all a big joke.[li]Heavily involved with the Egyptian pantheon. May have some children from hooking up with a few entities within it.
• Met and hit it off with Theseus when The Calydonian Boar was released by Artemis (as per Hera's request to get Meleager back to Greece/away from Egypt).
• Theseus introduced Meleager to others within this group, such as Perseus and Achilles, which turned into an entire frat-boy-type situation. They were immensely tight-knit throughout the following years, even after death and resurrection.
• What is neglected to be mentioned in his lore is that his death was a direct result of the furies being sent his way as a punishment for his transgression against the hunter Atalanta.
• Meleager was resurrected by the fates way later on, and it was simply because, upon review, it had been determined that his thread of fate had been disrupted.
• Meleager returned just as the Roman empire began - he resumed in Egypt as a deified mortal, living a lavish, yet simple, life. He was recognized as being the life of the party and often held great events in his home, because, why not? He didn't have anything else going on anymore. Everybody he knew was dead, from what he understood.
• He met Aeneas while visiting a fledgling Rome, which he was just "checking out" due to curiosity. They didn't necessarily get along, but would later come together again.
• Throughout the years, Meleager, now going by Milo, went through several different "lives". He was married multiple times and hungered for more stories to tell others, which is why he sought out careers not suitable for such a coward as he.
• He rediscovered Perseus and Achilles during WWII and, unsurprisingly, they restarted their little boy band of fuckheads, excluding Theseus who hadn't been seen for some time.
• They remained together from then on, meeting with Aeneas once more in the late 70s. Aeneas had been tracking him down.
• Eventually, Theseus was pinpointed as being in Europe, fleeing from some sort of gang-related affair, and they all traveled to reunite with him. Upon finding Theseus, they were promptly introduced to Ixion, a newcomer but welcomed addition.
• Meleager currently acts as a hunting scout with Bogumil, who thinks he's useless as fuck. He's fond of Kaintomia and is trying to get it on with her, but is being denied at every attempt.

Walking on water. Iron lung; able to breathe underwater and handle extremely pressurized depths. Has a way with horses, they remain calm around him regardless of what is happening and have a martyr-like loyalty to him. Minor absorption; he absorbs a fragment of an individual's strength/abilities upon killing them, but this is a catch-22 situation, as he also absorbs a portion of their memories as well. He is highly resistant to heat/being burnt

Poseidon, Amphitrite, Ariadne, Phaedra, Helios, King Minos, Pasiphaë, Minotauros, Medea, Limos, Angelo Emilios Theikos, Delphin, Lyssa, Bogumil Krzysztof Domagalski, Hades, Persephone, Genevieve Victoria Crowe

^{NEW AGE CANON HISTORY}

• Theseus is a child of sacrifice - King Aegeus desperately wanted a son so he would have a proper heir, but Queen Aethra was only giving birth to daughters. He asked the oracle of Delphi what he should do differently to gain a son and was given a cryptic response about sacrificing to the gods. Later, Aethra was visited by Athena, who told her to go to the shore and sacrifice a black foal to Poseidon. She obliged that very night, and the black foal's corpse was swallowed by the ravenous tide, and the next pull of the tide revealed a baby boy with black hair. Poseidon had shaped the sacrificed foal into a boy as thanks for such an impressive offering. Funnily enough, Aegeus was a bit miffed that this boy was not technically his blood, and felt slighted by the oracle, the gods, and his wife. He refused to raise Theseus, and so Theseus was raised by the hands of his mother and grandfather.
• The Minotaur legend, as told, is fairly accurate, however, the beast was greatly inflicted by the hands of Lyssa and Limos at the time of Theseus' arrival. The Minotaur was sickly, and so Theseus exaggerated the challenge of killing him. Minotauros was still breathing when Theseus decapitated him and ran off with his head in hand.
• As mentioned in Meleager's canon historical facts, Theseus got involved with the hunt of the Calydonian Boar following his slaying of Minotauros. This was partially because he was losing his footing as a nobility within Athens
• Theseus became increasingly unstable/violent post-Tartarus due to the treatment and torture experienced while imprisoned.
• He was killed by a very aged Pasiphaë, who had been guided to Theseus by the hands of the Furies.
• Theseus was resurrected by Poseidon for unknown reasons and was brought into the palace of Atlantis.
• He spent many years just flitting about the globe being an absolute menace to society by taking on the identity of "Theo" and posing as a mortal. He fucked around hard with gangs throughout the years, from old-school gangs in Europe, the mafia, and later modern gangs. Always involved with sex trafficking, racketeering, and drug dealing. He did wander into North America for a short time but was more comfortable in Europe and found he held more esteem there among the street population.
• He pissed off the wrong people (stole a fuck ton of cocaine, then blamed the lower ranks for the theft) and eventually had his members turn on him. Before he could be killed by the gang he used to run with, the fuckboy crew found him (early 90s) and plucked him from the hands of his self-created demise.
• He later formed a small, but extremely dominant gang, with Achilles, Meleager, and Ixion.
• Today, he's a hunter next to Bogumil, who he can't stand at all and hopes to kill when the Polish man is shifted into his werewolf form. He's deep in cocaine use and relies on it heavily, however, which often causes him to be pretty fucking sloppy with his duties.

^{PROMINENT TIES}
Zeus, Denae, Hera, Medusa, Acrisius, The Gorgons, Athena, Hermes, Atlas, Andromeda, Hercules, Polydectes, Cetus, Perseus, Genevieve Victoria Crowe, Efkaira

^{NEW AGE CANON HISTORY}

• Perseus is the child of Zeus and Danae, and is surprisingly one of the few children that were sprung from a consensual encounter.
• Uses Medusa's head as a fleshlight.
• He literally waited until Andromeda was begging him to save her; then, at the last minute, he rose Medusa's cum-filled head toward Cetus. He later stated that he slew Cetus with his sword, but that's entirely false. He dragged Andromeda back to her father, King Cepheus, and demanded her hand in marriage as payment for his rescue and slaying of Cetus.
• Perseus basically accomplished 95% of his achievements by using the head of Medusa as a scare tactic/threat. This pissed Hera off, for obvious reasons, and she requested permission to approach Perseus from Zeus - it was granted, but Athena had to be the one to take the head away (Zeus didn't trust Hera with his love-child). Athena appeared before Perseus and demanded the head of Medusa, but what is neglected to be told in the lore is that Athena did not take the head because of what she discovered it had been used vigorously for in the chambers of Perseus (this bitch was caked) and with absolute disgust, she merely stripped the powers from the head to ensure Perseus couldn't just kill whoever.
• Perseus is the only one to never have died among the group. Yep, this grimy rat managed to trot through the centuries like nothing. Zeus eventually revealed to him that he was his father, which inflated his ego further. This opened the gates of Olympus to him and he made a point of visiting the palace here and there, pissing off Hera whenever he could and partying as often as he possibly could.
• He met all the boys over the years, but became really tight with Achilles and Ixion, as their personalities play together the best.
• He actively served in several wars, both ancient and modern, and took immense glee in abusing the vulnerable individuals who inhabited the lands he was active in - if you get my drift.
• He never took on a "basic" job when not in service. He lived a lavish life off of the spoils from the "previous" lives he had flourished in; very trust-fund baby.
• In WWII he was reunited with Achilles and Meleager and they easily slid back into old habits of being gigantic garbage people together.
• Today, he acts as a guard alongside Achilles, but rarely ever does his job. He feels that he is too important for such peasantry and refuses to take orders from a woman (Eve).
• He still has the head of Medusa and still uses it.

Charming tongue; he can talk his way out of anything by manipulating the emotions of who he is speaking to from dislike/hate/disdain to admiration/swooning/desire. He can create a ball of light, it acts as a visual aid and nothing else - will explode after some time but the light merely fades into a spray of golden dust.

^{CURRENT LOCKDOWN LOCATION}
Gaia

^{NEW AGE CANON HISTORY}

• He was banished from Olympus and all ties to the Pantheon were severed when he assisted Troy.
• He was outcasted by the greater Greek society after the war and fled toward the West (Italy). He gained a small following of other outcasts and this group eventually settled into the Roman mother-city Lavinium.
• He died during a war, but his mother (going against the Pantheon), resurrected him. Unfortunately, Hera discovered this and threw him into Tartarus. This is how he later became involved with Skotadi.
• Bellerophon's arrival into Skotadi's ranks was around the time that Aeneas was softening. Bee's timid nature and his reasoning for being kind/benevolent with the creatures further softened Aeneas. He sees the good in man within Bee and this is why he sacrificed his own freedom/safety for Bee to get away.
• He hunted down Bee shortly after finally untangling himself from Skotadi's shit (shortly being appox. 20 years). He is absolutely mortified of what Bee has become due to extreme mental and emotional abuse over the years they were separated.
• He had originally been looking only for Meleager, hoping to get some assistance with speaking to some of the Greek pantheon (specifically Artemis) so he could deal with the Skotadi issue once and for all. Ended up with an entire crew and never was helped with connecting with the pantheon.
• He is the sole reason they are in Asthenesteros. He wants to protect humanity as much as possible. He's a real martyr, this one.
• Still acts like a guardian/caregiver to Bell
• Unfortunately for him, he acts as the deputy beneath Kenny. He is constantly butting heads with Kenny and thinks that he is ill-fit for the position, but is a man of honour and esteem, so he keeps his thoughts to himself.

^{NEW AGE CANON HISTORY}

• He is the quintessential shitty momma's boy. His mother coddled him and caused him to believe that he's more important than he actually is.
• Did he fuck around with Patroclus? You get to choose He did fight in the Trojan war and was useful, as the legends go. Actually, his Greek history is pretty damn true.
• He assisted with appeasing Artemis, he did not attempt to save the woman's life who was selected to be sacrificed.
• He skipped around in the Underworld post-death, which he was miffed about since he felt he was meant to be in Elysium.
• Out of the group, he's known Perseus the longest, since Perseus never died. They are both pretty unfavourable specimens, but exceptionally worse when together.
• Hades literally threw his ass out of the Underworld because he was problematic/hot-headed. He constantly was trying to fight all the hellhounds, including Cerberus.
• He was resurrected by Zeus during WWII and was active in both world wars (as per request by Perseus).
• Acts as a scout for danger and a basic warrior/guard for the encampment. He's pretty piss poor at his job, however, and is often reprimanded for either a) not staying at his post or b) killing friendlies. Extremely fond of cocaine and currently involved with Aubrey "Cricket" Boone.

^{NEW AGE CANON HISTORY}

• Ixion was born from Ares' mind, much like Athena was from Zeus. He is Ares' Oedipus complex manifested into an actual living being. Upon his "birth", he was handed down to King Phlegyas to avoid his presence in Olympus, as he posed as a threat to Zeus, since he was all the pent-up dominance issues that Ares had with his father.
• Still regularly visited Olympus all the time without any concern about the repercussions.
• Definitely did try to get it in with Hera all of the time, just to irritate Zeus. This is where he gained bonds with Perseus, as they partied together regularly in Olympus.
• Hera is fond of Ixion. Potential for shenanigans with these two.
• Zeus did get back at Ixion, however, and sneakily punished him within the mortal realm (behind the backs of Ares and Hera) - he made Ixion and his wife, Merope, forget each other and their marriage, for example.
• Ixion did try to confront Zeus man-to-man at one time, this is when he was shot down to the underworld and tethered to a  spinning wheel of fire to burn for eternity.
• Hera spoke to Hades and had Ixion released, without Zeus' knowledge, but she expelled him from Greece for his safety.
• Ixion's history up to his death, how he died, and resurrection reasoning is up to you. However, he must have been resurrected by the 1900s and he was heavily involved in corruption/gangs.
• He runs as a dealer alongside Romulus.
• Is the cause of Aubrey "Cricket" Boone's death - accidentally gives her the wrong drugs when they party together.
