Llyra
Llyra caused the
death of Lady Dorma, Namor's intended. She was involved in the
death of Leonard McKenzie, Namor's father...and wait a
minute...did she give birth to Namor's son and then have the boy
genetically accelerated so that he might take the crown of
Atlantis? Booyah this one is evil to the bone.
Sub-Mariner #32- flashback- Llyra's father Llyron was caught by Ms. Morris as she tries to catch an exhibit for her aquarium. The two became husband and wife, and the aquarium prospered.

Namor thinks to himself how he has been seeking
alliances to stand against the humans, but has overlooked
Karthon, who ruled Lemuria after slaying the evil Naga. Namor
sets out on a swim to Lemuria. Namor is not greeted warmly as the
guards take Namor at gunpoint to their leader. Llyra tells the
guards to leave, and she and Namor will continue in private.
Namor says he doesn't want to talk to her, but Karthon, or the
man who rules in his place. Llyra says Namor is typical male
asking for the man who replaced him. Llyra shows Namor Karthon
chained up with sharks surrounding him. Namor goes to rescue him,
but Llyra says she will mentally command the sharks to attack him
if Namor moves. Llyra tells Namor of her hybrid birth. Llyra says
she loathes being underwater because nobody could match her power
but Namor. She asks Namor to join forces to conquer the land and
sea. Namor says though she reminds him of himself when he was
young he wants only peace with honor. Llyra sics an electric eel
on Namor. Namor defeats the eel saying will not go down so easy,
but Llyra sics two more eels that bite and inject Namor with
venom that knocks him out. When Namor awakens he finds that he is
in an aquarium. Namor's strength has been sapped, and he is stuck
in the glass. Namor sees Laurie and asks her to free him, but she
is too afraid of her sister. Laurie and Llyra's mother flips a
switch that restored Namor's power. He breaks free and comes face
to face with Llyra. Llyra has a hammerhead, an octopus, and many
other sea creatures fighting Namor, but Namor is prevailing.
Llyra orders a sperm whale to attack Namor, but some of the rocks
damaged by the large whale strike her. Namor carries Llyra's body
to shore, but when he gets her out of water she turns into
Laurie. Llyra's mother reveals that her two daughters shared a
body.

He starts to chase her, but though she isnt as strong as Namor her speed is great. Namor destroys her hiding place, and grabs Llyra by the hair. Proteus reveals that Llyra did not take the Vow of Fealty so even though she stood in on the ceremony Llyra is not lawfully his wife. Llyra swims off frustrated saying that if she cannot be Namors wife then neither will Dorma. Llyra sicks a bunch of sea life on Namor to slow him.

Llyra reverses the ray and shoots Torch into the ocean. Krago leaps out of the water and hits Llyra's ship knocking everyone over.

The real Phoebe then tells the guard that Namor will be staying there tonight, and says that he will be having a guest. She tells him not to interfere. At the meeting later the others tell Phoebe that the signatures on the stock certificates are not Namors. Phoebe concedes the point, but adds that the other major shareholders are concerned with how much time Namor spends away from the company, and that they would feel more comfortable if she were calling the shots.

Marrs about Roxxon workers who claim she told her to attack him.
Near the boundary trench of Old Atlantis Llyra is hooked up to a
machine that will advance her pregnancy to full term in a matter
of hours. She is trying to have Namor's baby so that he will be
the heir to Atlantis. Vyrra, who is an expert in cloning is
Llyra's help in the birth, tells her that she has conceived a
son. Vyrra suggests altering the genetic identity because Llyra's
baby will have to share Llyra's mind. Llyra decides to stick with
her son. Vyrra delivers Llyra's son. She, because he is now in
the body of a Dorma clone, places the baby in a biological
time-decompression crèche. As Llyra recovers for an hour after
the birth she watches her son grow into a man, pointy ears and
all. Vyrra calls Llyra in to admire her fully formed
sixteen-year-old son. As he emerges from the machine, with
amphibious winged feet, Llyra comes up behind Vyrra and snaps his
neck. Llyra then destroys Vyrra's real body and leaves with her
son. Llyra arrives in Atlantis, a kingdom without a king, and
presents the next in the royal bloodline Llyron, son of Namor.

Shark smashes Llyron with a rock, but Llyron smashes through the rock. Remora tells Namor about Llyron. Llyron and Llyra tie up the beaten Tiger Shark and Tamara.

Llyron appears at the United Nations. Phoebe Marrs realizes the connection when she sees Leon McKenzie who claims she seduced him and tried to get him to embezzle Oracle, Inc. funds. Namor sees Giganto heading towards Manhattan. As Llyron addresses the U.N. and essentially blames Namor for their bad past Giganto (with Namor on its head) crashes into the U.N. building. Llyron hits Namor off Giganto. Namor goes to try and settle the other beasts riled by the Horn of Proteus, but Llyron takes a more direct approach and begins killing them. Namor spots Llyra blowing the horn, but before he can stop her Giganto ruptures a gas main and causes an explosion. Giganto runs back to the water. The police put an APB on Namor. Phoebe Marrs picks up Namor, and Namor hears on the radio that due to the heroics of Llyron Atlantis has been accepted into the United Nations.

Namor says that even though his father never sat upon the throne of Atlantis that Llyron is a valid heir to the throne. In the Grand Atrium in the Senate House of Atlantis, Llyron addresses his subjects. He says that today is the beginning of a new wave ascending for our people. He says that today Atlantis will join the assemblage known as the United Nations, a feat that not even Namor has managed. Raman and Seth whisper behind his back that they still dont trust Llyron because he is the spawn of Llyra. Llyra tells Llyron that the people seem to have been won over, but that everyone still scorns her. She asks him what he is going to do about it. Llyron says that they share the same mind, and asks Llyra what she would do about it. Llyron then grabs the bag off Llyras shoulder and reveals to his subjects that Llyra is the traitor among them. He shows them all the Horn of Proteus in Llyras bag. He orders the guards to arrest her. Llyra curses Llyron, but her curses are drowned out by the cheering of the Atlanteans. Llyra screams as the guards drag her past a statue of Vyrra.
Fantastic Four Unlimited #11- Namor looks over the extensive damage to Atlantis and all the dead bodies lying about. The only one he sees that is alive is Llyra. Llyra begs Namor to unchain her before the death drives her insane. Namor says that Llyra has been insane for quite a while already. Namor tells her that he wants to know where Llyron has taken his people. Namor says that he knows Llyra and Llyron share the same mind and asks where she would take them. Llyra says that she was double-crossed by Vyrra and that she thinks Llyron shares a mind with Vyrra and not her. She asks again that she be released and that they go seek vengeance together. Namor leaves her there and goes to seek Llyron.
