| - In his younger years, Northington was colleagues and even friends with Professor Mangrove. One day, during an expedition in the jungles of Urobos, Northington chanced upon some evidence of the fabled City of Gold and the power that resides within it. Presenting his findings and his conclusions to the scientific community, he was however ridiculed for his theories and ostracized by his peers. He fell out with Mangrove, who tried to convince him to remain reasonable about his speculations, and withdrew himself. Over time, Northington grew bitter and resentful towards his associates, especially Mangrove, by whom he feels betrayed. After years of reclusion in study and investigation, he found that he needed to get some outside help in order to access the City of Gold and prove his theories to be true. He contacted The Leader of Team Aurum and made a deal with them to let them plunder any riches from the City of Gold if they help him put his theories into practice. He does not tell them about the mythical hidden power inside the City however, which he plans to use to overthrow the villainous team once they have served their purpose and use Quetzar's powers to help humanity. Whilst he may tell himself that his motives are to bestow the great gifts of legend through the powers of Quetzar unto humanity, subconsciously he still wants to prove himself and restore his broken ego. He acts like an altruist, but is ultimately still motivated by selfish reasons.
