Llyron

Llyron was supposed to be the son of Prince Namor, and heir to the throne of Atlantis. What he turned out to be was half that. Prince Namor is a hybrid of a human and an Atlantean, and as such he is unable to breed. Instead what Llyron turned out to be is the son of Leon McKenzie, grandson to Leonard McKenzie. Even though Leonard McKenzie never sat upon the Atlantean throne because Llyron and Namor are of the same lineage and therefore Llyron is in fact an heir to the throne of Atlantis. Llyra's evil plan worked perfectly. Unfortunaely for her Llyron has the same mind as his mother, and he sold her out as soon as it became beneficial for him to do so.

Namor #54-Namor learns that Llyra is plotting against him when confronts Phoebe 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.

Namor #55- Llyra presents Llyron to the Council of Three. Llyra suggests a blood test to determine Llyron's lineage. As the talk a guard interrupts as Tiger Shark is seen headed for Atlantis. Llyron smashes into Tiger Shark from behind. Tamara fights with Llyra. Llyron hits Tiger Shark, but Shark angles around and grabs Llyron and slashes across his stomach. Llyron hits Tiger Shark and remarks how Shark's fighting style is the same as the last time they teamed. Shark doesn't realize that Llyron shares all of his mother's memories. 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. Namor comes face to face with Llyron. When Namor insults Llyra, Llyron grabs Namor by the neck. Namor throws him off through a pillar. Llyron uses the pillar to hit Namor. Llyron punches Namor. Namor strikes Llyron back. He breaks off another pillar, but misses Llyron with it. Vashti yells at them to stop. Namor takes Shark and Tamara and leaves.

Namor #56- Llyra steals the Horn of Proteus that is used to call Giganto. Llyron has the communication wires between America and Europe severed as they go across the ocean's floor. 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 #57- Phoebe Marrs informs Namor that the man Llyra had sex with to conceive Llyron was a Leon McKenzie, grandson to Namor’s father, Leonard McKenzie. 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 don’t 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 grabs the bag off Llyra’s shoulder and “reveals” to his subjects that Llyra is the traitor among them. He shows them all the Horn of Proteus in Llyra’s bag. He orders the guards to arrest her. Llyra curses Llyron, but her curses are drowned out by the cheering of the Atlanteans. As Llyron is about to be coronated King of all Atlantis Namor burst onto the scenes. He reveals that Llyron is not his son at all, but rather a descendant of Leonard McKenzie. Llyron says that they still share common ancestry and asks Namor if he is going to try to destroy him and the Crystal City in another senseless struggle. Namor says that he is half-right. A broadbill comes and hooks Llyron’s regal cape on its sword carrying him out of the city. Namor says that Llyron will face the wrath of the Avenging Son. Llyron says that the name no longer suits Namor because he has nothing left to avenge. Llyron points out that not one Atlantean is attempting to help him. He says that he has abandoned them too often. Namor confronts Llyron with the cutting of the transatlantic cable between Europe and America and the stealing of the Trumpet of Proteus. Llyron says that the cable was Thakos’ idea, and that Llyra stole the horn and that he is punishing her for that. As they battle a sunken ship falls on them. They have no leverage and are trapped under the ship. The people of Atlantis come and dig them out. They pick up Llyron and say, “All hail Prince Llyron, King of Atlantis. Llyron says that the people have spoken and that he will restore Atlantis to its previous prominence. Seth and Vashti wish to remain with Namor, but he tells them that they must go keep an eye on Llyron for him.

Namor #61- Morgan Le Fey sets an explosive device in the proper place inside the underwater volcano near Ireland known as R9. She detonates the explosive. Suddenly Atlantis shakes. Llyron is in the Building of Knowledge when the quake hits. Llyron wants to know what is going on. Vashti tells him that his new republic is falling down around his ears. Llyron says that this is Vashti’s doing, and that he should slay him where he stands. The Library Towers crumbles. Finally someone tells Llyron that the volcano surface dwellers call R9 has erupted, and that as a result the ocean floor on which Atlantis rests has now risen fifteen meters. Morgan Le Fey confronts Namor with a super pumped Triton and Blood Wraith. She tells Namor that she is going to reclaim the land known as Avalon, but adds that Namor might know it better as Atlantis.

Namor #62- Two of Llyron’s men spot a gravely injured Namor with a woman that appears to be Andromeda. One of them wants to go tell Llyron, but the other tells him to keep his mouth shut. They takes Namor to Vashti. When Namor awakens from his sleep (with visions of Morgan Le Fey’s dreams on conquest of Avalon/Atlantis from Kamuu- the last king of the above ground Atlantis) he realizes that Andromeda isn’t Andromeda, but rather Genevieve Cross’ soul within Andromeda’s body. He says that it is because she is unused to even breathing with gills that she cannot speak. Llyron enters and remarks that is the reason that it is so quiet around lately. Namor asks how he dare intrude. Llyron reminds Namor that he is the one who is intruding. Llyron says that he banished Namor from his realm. Namor shows them the Sword of Kamuu, and says that it says different. Llyron says that neither he, nor his people, recognize some rusty artifact. Suddenly another seaquake hits. Namor tells Llyron that if truly cares for his subjects that he will get them out of the Crystal City, and that he has to go try and prevent Atlantis from surfacing. Namor is unsuccessful and Atlantis rises to the surface of the ocean.

Atlantis Rising #1- One of the surviving Atlanteans tells Llyron that those lucky enough to possess vehicles or those that lived on the outside cities managed to survive, but those in such inner cities such as Amphitrite are doomed. Vashti says that must be as much as 60% of their population. Llyron says that Namor somehow brought this atrocity upon them, and that the next time Namor is seen he wants him killed on sight.

Fantastic Four #402- Vashti tells of Llyron’s tireless efforts to save the Atlantean people that survived Atlantis’ surfacing. Llyron seen leading his people.

Atlantis Rising #2- The search for survivors ends with only a greater death toll. Llyron says that it was to be expected. He calls off all the other searches and tells them to prepare the living for the great exodus. Vashti says that he doesn’t think that they should go anywhere without their true monarch. Llyron tells Vashti to look around. He shows him all the injured, but at least living, Atlanteans. He tells Vashti to go ask them if they want to wait for their “true monarch” who is off on a personal quest in their hour of need. Vashti asks if Llyron plans to lead them to their former refuge at the South Pole. Llyron says that Attuma reigns there now, and that his forces would slaughter them. Llyron says that he will find a new home, and when they are strong again he will set upon a course which will spell doom for all humanity.

Fantastic Four Unlimited #11- Namor finds Llyra in the ruins of Atlantis. 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. Namor leaves Llyra there and goes in search of Llyron. Elsewhere Seth asks why Llyron has lead them out into an air pocket. A soldier responds that Llyron wants to demonstrate something. He shoots the bubble that allows Seth to breathe. Vashti says that Seth cannot breathe and Llyron says that is the point. Llyron says that he is ordering all women of childbearing age to be implanted with clones. Vashti says that cloning was banned long ago. Llyron says that desperate time calls for desperate measures. Llyron elaborates that the clones will be accelerated and enhanced as he was. Llyron says that then he and the clones will attack the surface world.
