Biography
Planet of the Apes
Caesar was born as Milo where he was named after his parents friend Dr. Milo that was one of the Apes of the distant future where their kind ruled the Earth. As a result of time travel, two intelligent chimpanzees named Cornelius and Zira had travelled to a time when mankind had dominated the world. The pregnant Zira had given birth to her son where she feared the infant would be killed by the intolerant humans. Thus, Milo was placed in the care of a circus owner named Armando whilst Zira switched a young primitive chimpanzee child with her own prior to their deaths at the hands of Dr. Hotto Hasslein. The infant was killed by Hasslein with Zira disposing of the body, Milo actually survived and was raised as a mute acrobat by Armando where he was given the name of Caesar. Two decades later, Caesar was now an adult where he remained in Armando's care where they maintained the charade that he was an unintelligent ape kept as a pet in chains. Though secretly, Armando educated Caesar on the events that led to the state of slavery of ape kind.
