Biography

Heraclea in game

Born to a family senatorial rank, Heraclea expected to play a conventional role through the cursus honorum, a cycle of civic, military, and religious duties to which New Colchians of her rank and stature were accustomed. Her world was changed when, as a result of natural rambunctiousness, she accidentally broke a sacred urn in the temple of Minerva.

As punishment, she was removed from her temple duties and made a gladiator. It was here that she found her true mission and purpose in life. She proved far more proficient at gladiating than at being a priestess, and rose quickly to the top ranks of the gladiators of New Colchis. She proved proficient at fighting wild beasts and mythological monsters; in the course of these combats, she lost an eye. Still, she liked being a gladiator, and chose to continue to compete in the games, craving excitement.

When the Jewel of Hera was stolen by the Circle of Thorns, games were decreed to choose a champion to track down the thieves and retrieve the sacred gem. Heraclea won this contest, and as such became the first of the amazons of New Colchis to publicly enter the ranks of Paragon City's heroes. Once there, she saw a society with problems, that in her view could use instruction from a superior culture. She chose to remain there to teach the women of Paragon City their natural precedence.

Heraclea is the current leader of the supergroup Orion's Hammer.
