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 the First World War, he became the costumed hero Aquaman at a time when naval warfare and nuclear arms placed the oceans in greater danger than ever before. 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.

Family
On his mother's side, Orin is descended from King Atlan. According to Atlantean tradition, he was the son of the Poseidon and Cleito - the daughter of one of Atlantis' first inhabitants. He ruled as the High King of Atlantis, with his brothers and other allies serving as subordinate sovereigns for each of the seven Atlantean kingdoms. He was the first and last king to rule Atlantis before it sank beneath the ocean: his final act as King was to invoke the magic that transformed the Atlanteans into a race that could survive beneath the sea.
