His grandfather was a fearsome warrior conquering the kingdom's lands and restoring peace to their home. His ancestors were all highly prestigious knights and warriors, winning each and every battle they fought. Atlas, following his lineage, became a knight-in-training at the age of six, earning his own sword at age seven, and winning several kingdom tournaments at age twelve. He enlisted in the kingdom's army at the age of twenty, and he has been known as a fearsome warrior much like his ancestors as well as fighting in the Second Great Plains War, with his role being the man leading the army. He sent ten thousand of his men against the enemy, only losing a few hundred men. However his excessive pride and incredible ego has proven his downfall and proves that no warrior is a warrior without modesty and virtue.
