Corona (or Kako) is an Inuit woman who met Aquaman when they where young. Living with her in their village was the first time in his life he truly felt he belonged somewhere. Most of the time he’s caught between worlds, but with her he felt wanted. Her brother finds them after spending a romantic night on the ice and attack Aquaman,s spreading lies about him to the other villagers and causing them to chase him away. Kako raised their son Koryak without Aquaman knowing until his adulthood, and soon after she was killed by Ocean Master (who in this continuity was her brother instead of Aquaman’s) then resurrected as a fire elemental by the goddess Gaea. Despite the Ocean Master stuff I think Kako works well rolled into the Parliament of Flames as their version of the Parliament of Waves Waterbearer, Aquaman. Her brother could just be a different character from Ocean Master.
The Liquidator was a space cop (and I think an android?) sent to capture an escaped criminal. The criminal caused a misunderstanding with Aquaman and they fought. I love this guy’s look and I think having a space cop who knows Aquaman could help flesh out the Annunake and Hunter/Gatherers a bit. I would love to see him in the Green Lantern Corps or an army of them decent on Earth because we got into conflict with their planet. Friend or foe he’s just a cool character.
King of the Lurkers, a deepsea race from farther into the depths than Atlantis. Their home’s given them bioluminescence and pale, sturdy skin tougher and more powerful than the average Atlantean. Starting on bad terms, Mera notices Noble’s true nature when he saves a child during a fight and they become allies. He’s a great ally to Aquaman and a great king to compare him. Aquaman often falls short of his peoples expectations but despite his appearance Noble is an ideal king for his people and highlights the faults in his friend. The Lurkers live in the darkness of the ocean floor and they’ve mutated into half fish creatures. Guess who I think should be behind their creation. They could easily be one of the many offshoot societies when branched from Atlantis, leading to them taking to the deeper water and becoming mutated by exposure to the Abyssal Dark ’s magic. They could be one of the groups holding the Zodiac Crystals from the Tuatha De Danann storyline.
Aqualad’s evil uncle who wanted his dad’s throne and tapped into dark magic (presumably from some kind of abyss) which turned him into this fish-person with dark necromantic powers. Aqualad was born with purple eyes as a sign that he had great magic potential. He could either become the greatest threat to his people or their saviour, and Slizzath is the other side of that coin. Atlan, first king of Atlantis and immortal sorcerer, trained Aqualad to become the prophesied Tempest and defeat his uncle. I believe this story is the focal point for the Abyssal Dark storyline. Atlan sealed the dark way which led to the sinking of Atlantis and now its malice seeps into the oceans shadows. Atlantis magicians tend to turn evil and usually end up deformed with fish traits and necromancy. The Tempest is Atlan’s greatest pupil and Slizzath is the Abyssal Dark’s attempt to kill the Atlanteans and set himself free. (This gets iffy with Atlan and the Dead King, but I’ll get there eventually)
