Atreus was bred to fight. He is the son of the Trojan Warrior Achilles and the Amazon Queen Penthesilea. Soon after he was born, the Queen had one of her servants take Atreus away, protect him and raise him as her own. She feared for his life because she knew that he would be killed by her Amazons simply because he was born a male. She sent word to all in her Queendom that she had burned him alive which was their custom. When Achilles was told by a messenger that the Queen had killed his son; he killed her. He never knew that his son was alive.

Atreus’ birth name is somewhat of a mystery. It is said that he got the name Atreus directly from Zeus the god of gods himself! His original birth name has been lost in history. The story goes that Atreus grew up to become a fierce warrior. He fought and defeated everyone in his path. He climbed the great mountain that leads to Olympus to challenge Zeus to a battle of pankration. Zeus admired his courage so much, that he named him Atreus which means Fearless. While in the awesome presence of Zeus; the color of Atreus’ helmet changed to gold.

At Zeus’ request, Atreus led a group of warriors on the hunt for Typhoon. Typhoon was a ferocious beast with a body full of feathers and one hundred heads of a dragon with black tongues on his shoulders. Somehow, Typhoon killed Atreus and is currently fighting in these Pankration events of the 31st century.

The return of Atreus by Ares is bitter sweet for Zeus. Atreus was like a son to Zeus but now he is fighting for his arch rival, Ares.

Atreus is a master of many arts; Western boxing, Wushu, Greco Wrestling, and Judo but his base style is Tae Kwon Do.
