Kol
The Titans. A race of mighty deities, their unfathomable powers equal to those of the Olympian gods themselves. For an eon, they ruled the mythological realm as they saw fit, governing the earth with their matchless strength and superior constitutions. Under their authority, the world entered a great era of peace and abundance known as the Golden Age. Mortals, made by the hands of Cronos himself, lived happily and prosperously on the green earth; free from war, disease or famine. Many of the Titans lived among the races of men, taking lovers and spouses freely and contently. The product of such a hybrid between mortal and ancient god were called Nephilim, or demi-Titans. Like their demi-god counterparts, demi-Titans possessed unreal strength and dexterity, often commanding powers and abilities far beyond those of normal mortals. Along with the rest of their families, they lived good lives in the Golden Age, as free, healthy and joyful as mankind could ever be under the watchful guard of the Titans.
It could never last.
Spurred on by their lust for power and hatred for Cronos, a younger generation of deities (the Olympian gods) waged a bloody and terrible war against the Titans. Lead by Zeus himself, the proud Titans fought with all their might to repel the vengeful spirits. Despite their valiant efforts, they could not hope to win. The power of Zeus was too great. When the Olympians at last cast down the mighty Titans into the pits of Tartarus, they effectively conquered the mythological realm from the only other divine power that could possibly pose a threat to them. The Golden Age had ended. The earth fell into chaos. Zeus was quick to apprehend and kill as many of the Titans followers as he could, ordering a slaughter of all demi-Titans that could be found in the world. He would not leave anything to chance. The bloodlines of the Titans would be extinguished forever.
Erianthae had yet to give birth to her child, the son of the Titan Perses, when the servants of Olympos descended upon her. Praying to the spirit of Cronos, the young girl was mercifully sent forward in time, narrowly escaping her would-be assassins. The mother found herself in an entirely new era that was millennia ahead of her former time. It was in this new world that Erianthae gave birth to a child who possibly the last remaining demi-Titan in the Multiverse.
The child's name was Kol.
The demi-Titan
As a demi-Titan, Kol is endowed with a plethora of supernatural abilities. The boy's fair skin is as tough to puncture as solid marble, his bones as sturdy as tempered steel. He possesses unnatural strength and agility as well as heightened senses and prowess with various combat-tools, particularly melee weapons. As the son of Perses, the Titan of destruction, Kol can also command certain spiritual energies, particularly those of a more chaotic nature.
The boy himself is another case entirely. Although a formidable warrior and superhuman in his own right, Kol doesn't really care much for his heritage or responsibilities as a demi-Titan. After the death of his mother and tutor, Kol no longer had anyone else in the world he truly cared about. The boy became a wanderer, using his powers to live comfortably despite not being tied down in one place for too long. Obsessed with his freedom, the demi-Titan loves his care-free lifestyle, perfectly content to live out the rest of his life serving only himself.
Although not above using his abilities to bypass the law every now and then, Kol does posses some moral understanding of right and wrong. Most of the ethical values he maintains were instilled into him by his mother; fueled by late night bed-time fairytales about the Olympian gods and their wars against the Titans. More then anything, Kol's mother taught him about the value of mortal-life, condemning the gods cruel mistreatment of mankind as 'evil'. Man was just as great and mighty as the gods... perhaps even as mighty as the Titans themselves. For what they lacked in brawn or magic, they made up for in passion and heart. 'There are no creatures on the earth as passionate or willful as men,' she explained to him.
Kol's scoundrel ways wouldn't last, however. The demi-Titan was eventually discovered by the gods, particularly Hades. Bargaining with the god of death for his very life, Kol found himself forced into the service of the Underworld, made to serve Hades and his dark purposes in exchange for the rights to his soul. Although no longer a free man, Kol dreams of escaping his service to the gods, whether it be earning it through dedicated work... or swindling it through sheer cunning.
