Telemachus

Prince Telemachus (a.k.a. Telly, Tel; Triton)

Prince Telemachus is Princess Thetis's younger brother, following in his sister’s footsteps as a student at the Claremont Academy in Freedom City under the code-name “Triton”. This gives Telemachus quite a legacy to live up to, as has been the case nearly his entire life.   Whereas his sister Thetis inherited their father's fiery temper and their mother's warrior spirit, Telemachus is a sensitive, artistic soul with a love of singing, ancient Atlantean poetry and sagas, and study. He takes after his mother Marta with his dark hair and vividly sea-green eyes, and has apparently inherited his grandmother's mystical abilities and musical gifts rather than his grandfather’s connection with elemental water.   Although a dutiful student of the Atlantean arts of combat as a child and youth, Telemachus has no great love of battle. Initially shy, he is enjoying his time on the surface world at Claremont Academy, particularly collecting and enjoying surface-world music. Telemachus considers karaoke one of humanity’s greatest innovations, and wants to find a way to import it to Atlantis, much to the chagrin of his older sister. She is the only one who can get away with calling him “Telly,” a childhood nickname he dislikes, and does it solely to bait him at times. Most of his surface-world friends and classmates at Claremont call him Tel or Triton, his code-name.   Although Triton is widely believed to be a shoo-in for membership in The Next-Gen due to his legacy connections, he is not so sure that is what he wants. Triton is not really looking to be a superhero, and he’s actually grateful not to be the firstborn of the Atlantean royal family. Still, he understands that he has gifts, potential, and an important heritage and wants to do right by his family and society in general. He has become quite fond of the surface world and his temporary home in Freedom City along with his childhood home of Atlantis. Secretly, Telemachus would like to be a singer and performer, much like his grandmother.   In addition to his Siren-gifted sonic powers, Triton has some budding potential as a sorcerer and is studying magic at Claremont to supplement the Atlantean lore he began studying in childhood. He’s no spellcaster (yet) but could be one day.
