His life is a tale woven with the threads of isolation and legacy, shadowed by uncertainty and adventure. Raised in the rugged coastline of Maine, Arthur feels the weight of his extraordinary lineage.

Trained secretly by Nuidis Vulko, he learns combat skills and the responsibilities tied to his heritage. As global threats loom over both realms, he ultimately embraces his role, stepping into the mantle of Aquaman. His journey of self-discovery leads him to reclaim his rightful throne, protecting Atlantis and forming alliances among both Atlanteans and surface dwellers, while forging a path toward unity in the face of strife and conflict.
