Biography
Atlas was born and raised on the island of
Hashima, in one of the many Human villages belonging to the Lotus
Empire. His impressive size earned him the nickname of “mountain”. Atlas
was prepared to live a peaceful life as the town's carpenter, until one
fateful day, when the Daimyo Hitokage stopped in the village. During
the festivities held in honour of the Snake-Lord, Atlas defeated the
Daimyo's personal champion in a contest of hand-to-hand combat. Hitokage
was amused and impressed by the natural talents displayed by Atlas, and
offered to take the Human with him to train him in the art of combat.
While he has regularly impressed the Nagas with his skills on the
battlefield or the wrestler ring, Atlas equally gained their respect for
his craftsmanship as a master-builder, sculptor and artisan.
