Kordax was born Millennia ago; c.10,000 BC. The Atlantean sorcerer Shalako’s son, Dardanus, blamed King Orin 1 for the fate of his father and raped King Orin’s daughter, Cora (his own cousin), thus siring Kordax. Born with blond hair and green scales, Kordax was abandoned at birth due to his grotesque body. Nonetheless, he survived in the ocean thanks to his mental control over sea creatures until he was found by his wicked father Dardanus several years later.
