Arthur Curry, a man of oceanic depths and terrestrial breaths, embodies the conflict of two worlds, lost in tumultuous waves of identity and expectation. Born to a humble lighthouse keeper in Maine and the Atlantean queen Atlanna, he roams the shores with the burden of dual heritage. His upbringing is a complex tapestry woven with human warmth and the cold whispers of the sea, ever reminding him of the kingdom he is destined to inherit.

Navigating the turbulent waters of his lineage, Arthur stands at a precipice, determined yet reluctant to shoulder the mantle of Aquaman—a reluctant hero steeped in legacy and societal expectations, revealing to us the heart of a protector amidst the increasing threats to both realms he inhabits.
