General History:
Son of Zeus and Hera, Hercules was born on Mt. Olympus and was the pride of his parents. Zeus even created Pegasus, a winged horse, for his son. The only god who disliked Hercules was Hades, one of Zeus’ brothers and the god of the Underworld. Hades wanted to take control of Mt. Olympus and a prophecy was made that if Hercules chose to fight against Hades, Hades would fail. Hades sent his lackey’s Pain and Panic to give a potion to Hercules that would strip him of his immortality and strength. Since Hercules was found by the mortals Amphytryon and Alcmene, Pain and Panic failed to feed Hercules every last drop which allowed Hercules to keep his strength. Amphytryton and Alcmene raised Hercules as their son since Zeus and Hera could not bring the mortal boy back to Mt. Olympus. Hercules grew up strong but clumsy, with no friends. After destroying the local market on accident, Amphytryon and Alcmene revealed the truth. Hercules traveled to Zeus’ temple which revealed, by the God appearing to him as a statue, that if Hercules became a real hero then he could come home to Mt. Olympus. Pegasus was allowed to come with Hercules to find the satyr Philoctetes, Phil, who trained Hercules into adulthood. His first save was saving the beautiful Megara from the centaur Nessus. Though Phil and Pegasus disliked her, Hercules fell in love. Their paths crossed again in Thebes when Hercules saved two boys, who were actually Pain and Panic, from the monstrous Lernaean Hydra. From then on, Hercules killed monsters to save people which made him famous, rich, and a bit cocky. Though he believed himself a true hero, Zeus did not and wouldn’t let him come home yet. Megara convinced a depressed Hercules to skip training and go on a date with her in an attempt to learn Hercules’ weakness for her forced boss Hades. The date was ended by a furious Phil who then learned that Meg and Hades were working together before running back to Hercules. Phil tried to convince his protégé but in a blind rage, Hercules hit Phil. Phil left and Hades showed up, offering that if Hercules gave up his strength for 24 hours, Hades would let Megara go free. Hercules took the deal, Hades revealing Megara had been working for him the whole time, though not revealing that Megara did indeed love Hercules.
As Hercules heart broke in his chest, Chernabog’s curse hit and turned Hercules into Da’vid Markos.
Da’vid had been adopted by Americans as a small baby, brought to Yensidia and raised. His strength was slightly above average in school and his classmates alienated him. After graduation Da’vid decided to go to college for law enforcement and became a cop, being decorated for all of his hardwork. Though he doesn’t look it, Da’vid feels as if his life is missing something.
