Deimos stands as the primary antagonist to Travis Morgan, known as the Warlord<\/strong><\/a>, within the hidden realm of Skartaris<\/strong><\/a>. As a ruthless sorcerer and conqueror originating from the kingdom of Thera<\/strong><\/a>, he pursued absolute control over the subterranean world through a combination of calculated ambition and escalating supernatural might. His repeated clashes with the outsider pilot who became a champion of freedom defined much of the ongoing conflicts in Skartaris, marking him as an enduring threat across numerous adventures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

From his initial position as high priest, Deimos leveraged hidden knowledge to claim leadership and expand his influence far beyond a single city-state. His schemes involved manipulating both technology and later genuine mystical forces, always positioning himself against Morgan\u2019s efforts to protect the people of Skartaris. Over time, Deimos\u2019s vendettas grew more personal and destructive, involving kidnappings, clones, and alliances with dark entities that allowed him to return from apparent defeat time and again.<\/p>

Even in the face of multiple deaths at Morgan\u2019s hands, Deimos\u2019s unyielding drive for domination kept him central to the struggles of the lost world. His actions culminated in larger cosmic events where he sought not just Skartaris but influence over entire realities. Throughout these encounters, he embodied the dark opposition to the Warlord\u2019s heroism, creating a rivalry that spanned decades of published stories in the series.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Origin<\/h3>

Deimos served as the high priest of the kingdom of Thera, where he first gained prominence through his access to forbidden lore. He drew upon the legendary Scrolls of Blood, which contained ancient Atlantean technical manuals rather than mystical spells, to orchestrate his rise to the throne of that city-state. The inhabitants of Skartaris perceived him as a figure of immense mystical authority because he skillfully presented his scientific devices and knowledge as sorcery.<\/p>

This foundation allowed Deimos to consolidate power within Thera while hiding the true nature of his abilities behind a veil of occult pretense. His intellect, sharpened by the advanced science preserved in the scrolls, enabled him to build an arsenal that mimicked supernatural effects, solidifying his reputation among the people. As high priest turned ruler, he began to envision a far greater domain, setting the stage for broader ambitions that would draw him into direct opposition with external forces entering Skartaris.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Deimos\u2019s early command over Thera established him as a formidable presence, blending political control with technological superiority disguised as magic. This approach not only elevated his status but also prepared him for the larger campaigns that followed, where his methods would evolve dramatically after his initial setbacks.<\/p>

Rise to Power and First Confrontations<\/h3>

Unwilling to remain ruler of only Thera, Deimos launched campaigns aimed at subjugating the entire realm of Skartaris. His expansionist efforts involved deploying forces and devices derived from the Scrolls of Blood, yet each attempt met consistent interference from Travis Morgan, the Warlord, an outsider who had crash-landed into the hidden world. Morgan\u2019s interventions repeatedly disrupted Deimos\u2019s plans, turning what could have been swift conquests into prolonged battles across the landscape.<\/p>

The rivalry intensified when Deimos targeted Morgan personally by kidnapping his wife Tara. This act provoked the Warlord to mount a direct assault on Deimos\u2019s stronghold, where the two clashed in combat that ended with Morgan delivering a fatal blow to the sorcerer. At this point, Deimos\u2019s reliance on Atlantean technology rather than true magic left him vulnerable despite his carefully cultivated image of invincibility among the people of Skartaris.<\/p>

These early defeats did not diminish Deimos\u2019s determination; instead, they highlighted the persistent obstacle Morgan represented. The confrontations established a pattern of Morgan thwarting Deimos\u2019s bids for total control, forcing the sorcerer to adapt his strategies and seek means of revival that would later grant him far greater capabilities.<\/p>

Resurrections and Escalating Vendettas<\/h3>

Following his first death, one of Deimos\u2019s loyal minions brought him back through a resurrection process that infused him with genuine supernatural abilities. Seeking immediate retribution against the Warlord, Deimos kidnapped Morgan\u2019s infant son Joshua and employed his newfound powers to create a clone of the child, rapidly accelerating its growth to adulthood. He then pitted this clone against Morgan in battle, leading the Warlord to slay what he believed was his own son before striking down Deimos once more, all while the real Joshua remained safely hidden with simple farmers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
