Argus (Earth-19999)

Lord Argus is a minor character of the Mortal Fighter Series. The God Protector of the once majestic realm of Edenia, Argus was the husband of the Edenian sorceress Delia and father of Taven, Daegon and Rain.

Early Life
Argus was once one of the Protector Gods of the realm of Edenia, assigned by the Elder Gods to defend it from threats of outside forces. He was the husband of a powerful mortal sorceress named Delia. Though he was married to Edenia's most powerful sorceress, he was immortal (in the sense of aging), making his sons Taven, Daegon and Rain demigods. He rose up to become a very good friend of Lord Raiden and Lord Fujin, the two God Protectors of Earthrealm, as well as the several other God Protectors of all realms. Despite being an very loyal man to his family, Argus secrelty felt for another mortal woman and had a son, Rain. Ashamed of himself, Argus lend Rain to an Edenian general to raise as his son, hiding the identity of his bastard children to all but himself.

Due to visions of a future apocalypse caused by the growing number of threats spawned from an event which would be known as the Mortal Fighter Tournament, as seen by his wife Delia, he was assigned by the Elder Gods to come up with a solution to prevent this from happening. Argus planned to destroy the fighters to prevent Ragnarök, but Delia protested to this, pointing out that "some were heroes, undeserving of death". He came up with a solution to prevent Ragnarök: a contest between his sons, Taven and Daegon. They would race each other to the top of his pyramid and defeat the firespawn of his wife's creation, Blaze, with the mystical weapons and suits of armor that he and Delia had given them to find. With Blaze's defeat, depending on which one of the brothers defeated him, not only would they gain full godhood and replace Argus as God Protector of Edenia, but the excess energies from Blaze would be absorbed by their armor and either kill or nullify the special powers of the other fighters, preventing their fighting from tearing the realms apart. Argus created several obelisks for his sons to train in on their journeys, where he and Delia had left their avatars in.
