The ancestor of all Sirens and 1st king of Atlantis. He was long called "Ravalis", translating to "The Great King".

It's been a while I've finished this (a few days to be honest) and, well, it literally took me a year to finish because I wanted the realistic but smooth style! Lol! Not enough time, lots of other stuff to work on, including commissions, personal life, etc,etc... But it's finally up! I can say I'm very proud of the outcome because he's one of my favourite characters!! (And an extremely mysterious and intriguing one! ) I let little space around him and added a female figure to show you how huge he is!!! Figure: www.onlygfx.com/30-woman-silho…

Hope you like him! Give me some feedback!

Bio:
King Báldur (formerly "Bálindur"), also known as "Ravális" (English translation: The Great King), was the very first ancestor of the Sirens and first King of Atlantis. He was married to Queen Yalén (formerly "Yaléna"), a Nymph, and they had 18 children who wed each other and formed the 9 Siren Clans out of which the 1st one was the Royalty.
His age was unknown since a Phoenix is reborn once every 1000 years but it was more likely that he dated way back, to the Jurassic period.
He was a ruthless and authoritative ruler and his kingdom thrived and turned Atlantis into the strongest power on earth. He was the one and only King to siege and dominate over all the 4 nations (East, West, North and South divisions of Atlantis) with absolute success.
Having almost double the size and physical strength of a dragon, and bearing a tail with the most lethal, undiscovered poison on earth, the Farizolium toxin, he was respected by many but feared by many more. He became a symbol of fear and no one, big or small, dared to defy him. And those who did, payed a great price.
Along the millennia of his domination he was located in Therénia, the first capital of Atlántis and biggest city on earth, known to the eight continents as the "Center of the World", extending to a radius of 177 miles (285 km). Later Sirens were taught that Báldur built his palace on the very top of a mountain and surrounded it with 20 rings of land and 20 canals of water, all separated with thick walls, turning Therénia into an impenetrable fortress. The 328 feet (100 m) tall protective walls were entirely made of silver, brass and asvelon respectively ("Asvelon" is the strongest and hardest Atlantean metal alloy, made of gold, tungsten, steel and orichalcum.). Each ring of land was only accessible by boat and the entry rules were extremely strict; especially near the palace.
Báldur's accomplishments were written in history and even the first human civilizations glorified him.
His wife was diseased and passed a few years before their firstborn son's, Érendar's, wedding who was meant to become the next King of Atlantis after Báldur. He was Báldur's favorite until, one day, out of nowhere, Báldur received a letter of him, complaining about all the things that his father had done to him and his siblings, and how he had forced them to incest with each other to preserve the species. It was a letter so filled with hatred and bitterness that Báldur refused to attend his own son's wedding. In conclusion, Érendar died on the day of his wedding under mysterious circumstances. Báldur never forgave his son for that final letter of his; not even after his death.
One of his most dreadful powers was a black smoke-like aura that spread out of his mouth. It caused the reality within its range to be altered to a horrendous level. The victim could visualize and feel all sorts of things that can either kill or drive crazy even the mightiest person. It was one of his most inhumane ways of execution. The smoke was so powerful that could do the impossible. It could force a person to visualize their body being severed in half to the point it caused their death, or even animating their greatest fear to the point its personalization could slaughter them.
Baldur continued ruling until Érendar's widow, Ísrea, who was pregnant to his child a few weeks before his death, gave birth to the first pure Siren descendant. Afterwards, Ísrea became the first Queen of Atlantis and the cycle of Queens began. Báldur created a new law. All siren generations from then on, had to have 2 offsprings and only. A male and a female. Each generation's descendants would wed each other to preserve the species. Each offspring of a Clan had to marry another offspring of another Clan and the 1st Clan's female would become a Queen after 20 millennia of age. And for peace to exist among the 9 Clans, each family had to have 2 children so that there would be a partner for every single descendant. And they somehow managed to. Each Siren generation from then on had only two children, a male and a female. It was unexplainable for later generations how it was possible for the Siren population to be naturally controlled in such a way and for so many millennia.
Any after history of Báldur was unknown because the texts that later Siren generations had in their possession were impossible to read since they were all written in the Old World language, known as "Sirdándah", and there was no knowledge of it at all. All stories told were only passed down to generations. However, some time after unearthing the old scripts, they discovered King Báldur's tomb and came to the conclusion that he died somewhen between the 5th and 6th generation of Sirens. The reason and facts behind the drastic language change into the modern "Kaiéra" remained a mystery even to modern Sirens but stories claimed that King Báldur ordered the change somewhen after Érendar's death but no one knew why; only that whoever refused to comply with the change was incurred a penalty of execution. It was a well kept secret that King Báldur took to his grave.
