THE JUICY BITS
Backstory:  Born to the God Hades and a Human mother who died at birth he had a very bad early childhood, he was put in an orphanage in Texas but was never picked to be taken home and that made him shy and distant with a lot of people.

He began to show his power from a young age and was labelled a freak by the other residents, which didn't help him at all. The first power he showed was his ability to turn invisible which he first discovered when he went into a shadow moved slightly and no one could see him even though they knew he entered. This was amazing because now he could hide from the people that hated him so much more easily.

By the time he was 10 and the world began to change so did his life, the orphanage he was currently residing was demolished and he began to live on the streets. He moved from town to town and didn't stop moving, running away from his troubles. He met a few people that seemed to treat him right and then began the next part of his life.

He spent the next few years with this group that helped each other live and thrive, they broke into a few houses that were unoccupied at the time and his skill came in handy and so did his next one. He first learned this when he was on the run from a cop, he entered an alley that turned into a dead end, turning around he saw he was trapped. He fell to the floor and screamed, a fissure then appeared and swallowed the cops alive.

He began to try and learn to use this ability better but found it hard and after each time he found himself weak and feint, it finally took him years to learn to use it to its full potential and then he his another bump in the road. The group he was with ended up getting arrested but he escaped, he was now on the run once again by himself.

By his 18th birthday he was near New York he met another bunch of people with powers heading for an island to fight in a war that was currently happening. He dismissed the idea as silly and set of on his own again. He spent the next year living alone, anytime something strange happened he thought about that group heading to the island and the war. He finally changed his mind and headed to the island taking a year to get there.

When he arrived at the island then he began to learn of his parentage and grew fond of him, after all he was the only family member he had left now and nothing was going to change his mind about how he felt, when he arrived he took the name 'Zero' and decided to not tell anyone his real name.

He stayed on the island for the whole war and it wasn't until the last battle that he decided to show himself as the traitor by cutting of a bunch of demigods in the caves as the attempted to flee, seeing this Nick instantly attacked Zero and in the ensuing fight in which Zero lost he got a new scar on his back as a token of his actions using the caves and Nyk to escape.

For the next few decades he stayed with the New gods helping them out in gaining land when the needed, though him and Nyk were so alike they never really spent any time together opting to use their abilities in different parts of the world. Whilst he was with them he training in mind and body to become the person that he is today.

After the 4 cities fell and began to rise under the New Gods he settled down a bit  and often travelled between the cities where he felt he was needed and it wasn't till the past 20 years that he finally settled in Asphodel become a headhunter using his talents to find and punish members of the resistance.

In the last 20 years he has taken up residence near to Breya so he can get his orders and protect her if needed.

Relic: Cap of Hades - A mimic of Hades cap which allows the god to turn invisible the cap does the same thing just not as effective, it has seen some wear and tear but still works perfectly.
