Aquaman Arthur Curry, aka. "Aquaman" Name: Arthur Orin Curry King Orin II, High King of Atlantis Alias: Aquaman The Waterbearer King Arthur, A.C. Born: Amnesty Bay, MA Species: Half-Human, Half-Atlantean Affiliation: Atlantis (in exile) Project Watchtower (A.R.G.U.S.) Role: King-in-Exile of Atlantis Protector of the Oceans Faction: A.R.G.U.S. / Justice League Played by: Captain Untouchable Actor: Jason Momoa

Arthur Orin Curry is the son of a lighthouse keeper from Massachusetts, and the Queen Regent of the Atlantean city-state of Poseidonis. Conceived shortly after World War II, he became the costumed hero Aquaman amid the emergence of atomic weapons testing and nuclear submarines during the Cold War. Acting to intervene in a brewing war between the kingdoms of Atlantis and the surface world, Arthur completed a series of trials that proved him the worthy heir of King Atlan, and thus the rightful High King of Atlantis, coronated under the regnal name King Orin II.

As the sworn Protector of the Oceans, Arthur was bestowed with mystical power by the Ladies of the Lake, becoming the Avatar of The Blue known as the Waterbearer. As part of a cosmic balance, however, Arthur's continued use of this power gave rise to a dark counterpart called Thanatos. Rather than risk the destruction of Atlantis by a potentially unbeatable foe, Arthur abandoned his role as Aquaman and withdrew from the oceans into a self-imposed exile on land. He currently resides in a lighthouse near Happy Harbor, Rhode Island in a state of near-retirement, acting only on rare occasions - usually in cooperation with A.R.G.U.S. and Project Watchtower.
