* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:Adaro is the product of a fling between Queen Medusa and a human man who stopped seeing her after he found out she was pregnant. His heritage makes him immune to iron, but it also causes him to transform into a human during king tides, forcing him to hide out on land until he transforms back. When he was an adolescent he searched unsuccessfully for his father. In the process he was captured and tortured by fishermen, resulting in a lifelong hatred of humans. He decided to start his own kingdom because he felt that Medusa's policies were too friendly to humans. Meela eventually finds and kills him while he's in his vulnerable human form.]]
