Biography
Prince Impus was the demon son of the monstrous Queen Bansheera. Long ago, he along with the rest of demonkind were banished into the Shadow World. This was until the modern age where demons under Diabolico were freed into the mortal world and appeared within the Skull Cavern. The infant Impus was among them and they cared for the child of their Queen though Diabolico faced constant threat of being replaced by the young prince.
Later on, Diabolico came to be destroyed during a battle against the Lightspeed Solarzord. This led to the Star Power leaving the demon and bonding with the infant Impus. Its power placed him within a cocoon that then appeared within the city whereupon Impus matured into the humanoid dragon warrior now known as Olympius. He took Diabolico's place as the Rangers' primary foe but because he was naive and only a teenager, at about 17; he was not as adept as his predecessor. (Episode: The Cobra Strikes)
During Olympius' first encounter with the Rangers, he wiped the floor with them and later gained access to the Aquabase; when he captured four of the Rangers and assumed their forms. Carter Grayson (Red Ranger) was able to see right through him and foiled his plans, which resulted in Olympius falling into the sea and losing most of his personal power along with the ability to shape-shift. As a result, he was no longer a physical match for the Rangers. Vypra and her Battlings retreated but left the Thunderclaw monster behind to kill the Rangers although he failed. (Episode: Olympius Ascends)
When Vypra and Loki took charge, they attempted to exert their control over the Prince. However. after the attempt to revive Bansheera went wrong and she came back deformed, he finally stood up for himself and forced the two back into line. Olympius had managed to revive Bansheera, but little did he know that instead of treating him like a prince, she treated him as just another expendable pawn like the rest of her minions. His plans to win her affection were unsuccessful, and he quickly lost favor with her. (Episode: The Queen's Returns)
Eventually, Olympius managed to destroy the Rangers once by using a device that allowed him to use the Rescue Bird against them, but Carter went back in time and was able to prevent Olympius from pulling the trigger and killed his Mantevil monster. (Episode: Yesterday Again) When he discovered that Vypra and Loki were to take his place as second-in-command, he plotted to eliminate them by using the monster, Vilevine, to bury the two of them alive. He then claimed that the Rangers had killed them which put him back in Bansheera's favor. However, Vypra and Loki survived and were able to resurrect Diabolico. (Episode: As Time Runs Out)
Significantly later, Olympius attacked Miss Fairweather alongside Freezard when she was testing out the new Thermo Blasters and had him eat her and four of the Rangers with Carter managing to escape with Fairweather when they were confronted by Vypra, Loki and Diabolico. Bansheera recalled them to the Skull Palace and berated them for the interruption and forced them to work together. Olympius later returned with Freezard under the pretense of returning the Rangers but tricked Carter although he managed to free the others and take out Freezard. Jinxer made him grow and Olympius darkened the sky but the Omega Megazord was quickly summoned and easily finished off the monster with its double slash. (Episode: In the Freeze Zone)
After Infinitor proved himself too much for the Rangers, Olympius arrived and gloated about his power although both retreated when the Rangers used their Spectra Blast. Olympius then tells Infinitor that Miss Fairweather and her brother Clark are working on an invention that can defeat him, for which Infinitor says that "they must be destroyed!", Olympius then orders the Monster to do so. Unluckily for him, the new Mega Battle Armors proved too much for him and he was destroyed. After the Lightspeed Megazord and Max Solarzord arrive to fight the now giant Infinitor, Olympius darkened the skies which allowed the monster to defeat both them and the Omega Megazord but he was killed when the Omega Megazord used a variant of the Fire Circle finisher on him when it plucked the Lightspeed Megazord Saber out of the ground. (Episode: The Mighty Mega Battles)
Overview
Personality and attributes
As a child, he was known as Impus but upon his maturation to adulthood he claimed his true name as Olympius.
As Olympius, he is more matured and now prince-like with his personality. His voice also gets deeper with a slight metallic tone, similar to his mother, but this time he is now ruthless, cold, and will stop at nothing to destroy the Power Rangers. Overall, Olympius is arrogant, thinking that no one can stop him and that he is better than Vypra and Loki, though he can be a bit naïve at times. He is highly intelligent and incredibly manipulative, being able to trick the Red Ranger by using his ability to be one of the four Rangers.
He was also highly loyal to his mother Queen Bansheera and did truly love her. (Episode: The Queen's Return)
