Orin (Earth-9991)

"In the name of Father Neptune, now does Orin the First, Prince of Atlantis, Emperor of the Deep, Lord of the Seven Seas and Supreme Commander of the undersea legions, duly proclaim for all to witness... that I will not tolerate violence, war, fear and hunger...not anymore. As the new Aquaman, it is my duty, my responsibility to finally achieve peace my father sought, and with it build a new era!"

Early Life
"There's an ancient wisdom I should have heeded long ago, if only I had recognized its truth applies as much to me as to all men. True happiness is found along a middle road. There lies the balance and the harmony -- with reason and emotion not at war, but hand in hand."

- - Atlan upon the birth of Orin

Civil War
"Aquaman has been the protector of Atlantis for ages, since the dawn of our kind by the evil of Icthultu. It is a mantle passed from king to king. Now because your friend murdered my father, I also wear this mantle. So I ask you, as both warrior and king, how long do you think you can keep your friend safe from me?"

- - Aquaman

The New King
"Unlike my predecessors, Mera, I can no longer neglect matters beyond the walls of Atlantis. The era of emperors is gone. It's time to make something new. I have a kingdom to build, battles to fight. And a life I intend to live to the fullest. But like you, I will first pause to consider what has happened today. All that I have learned...and all that's been lost."
