I should not have been born, and even then, I should not have lived, but the fates had bigger plans for me, and so I stand before you today, a testament of the true strength we possess as demigods. Leto, angry at the way she was treated by Hera, vowed revenge, so she tricked Hera with the help of Morpheus and Hypnos, and sent a mortal, invisible to all but her, to seduce Hera while Hypnos put her to sleep, and Morpheus moulded her dreams to think that she was with her husband, when in fact she was consorting with a mortal lover.

Upon my birth, she realised I was not a god child, but a demigod, angered by the deception, she meant to have me killed, but Zeus stepped in and forbad it, calling it direct interference. I was laid on the doorstep of an orphanage.

When I was 18, after surviving on my own for nearly 4 years, I found the leader of the newly formed Broken Covenant, who took me in. My sister was also a part of it, even before I came in. While with him I soon worked my way up in his covenant, and started to accumulate a following of my own. It was apparent to me that, though the Broken Covenant would help me achieve my goals, I also desired different goals, and soon my own faction was formed. The Opus Superum, the work of the gods.
