Alpheus Benthos is the primary antagonist of Season 2. He commands a nuclear-powered submarine of his own design, which he claims to be the fastest sub around. The sub is controlled by an AI named A.R.I.A. (Augmented Response Intelligent Application), who he is very attached to as shown in "Just Eaten".

Alpheus is the self-proclaimed "nemesis" of Antaeus Nekton, who believes their fates are intertwined. He seeks the secrets of Lemuria, so he can awaken a mysterious doomsday weapon called "The Terror", working alongside Proteus to do so.

Alpheus's suit is embedded with electronics that allow him to shoot disabling rays right from his forearms.

Appearance[]

Alpheus Benthos has short dark blue hair with a forelock over his right eye. He has light blue eyes and black eyebrows. He also has a lightly tanned skin tone. He always wears a black diving suit where the 3/4 sleeves, chest area and parts of the legs are coloured in different shades of purple. In addition, there are silver-gold-colored patterns on the purple-colored chest area. The boots are also connected to the diving suit, which are black clasp. On both of his arms he wears a shimmering blue bracelet where he can save data. He wears a tight-fitting dark brown collar around his neck. This can be used to invoke a breathing mask made of glass and metal if this is required.

Relationships[]

Proteus[]

After being banished from the Guardians, Proteus ends up working with Alpheus in their discovery for Lemuria. Proteus is last seen in the season 2 episode, "Hidden secrets".

Nekton family[]

Antaeus Nekton sees Alpheus as an "arch enemy" despite a claim by the Nekton family that they are a relative to Alpheus. Despite this, Alpheus made attempts to steal the Ephemychron from the Nektons to achieve their promise. Despite this, there has never been a single attempt from Alpheus using the Ephemychron for the use of navigation as the Nektons had used it.

Trivia[]

  • Alpheus mentions to the Nektons that he will never see them again in "Just Eaten". After the events during that episode, he is never seen again.
  • Alpheus is descended from a different branch of the royal line of Lemuria than the Nektons, the rogue branch.
  • His submarine uses nuclear fusion power jet propulsion and is a lot smaller than the Arronax therefore his sub is much faster than any sub in the ocean.
  • He is highly intelligent as shown by his maintenance on his submarine.
  • He found the gates of Lumeria before the Nekton family without the Ephemychron.
