Biography
Goran was a male human born thousands of years ago where he lived during a time when Atlantis resided on the surface and was ruled by King Atlan. In that time, he lived as a member of the desert people where he was the son of a kind alchemist with Goran being prince of their people. For a long time, they had been charged with guarding their people's relics that was the Gold of Legacy that was imbued with great power. One day, they came to be visited by an Atlantean who happened to be the exiled King Atlan. He spent some time with the desert people where he learnt their ways. Ultimately, he came to steal their sacred Gold of Legacy and take it for himself. (Aquaman and the Others v1 #3) Following the murder of his father, Prince Goran spent years seeking the perpetrator who was King Atlan who had also stolen the gold of legacy. He came to find some deserters from Atlantis and a foundry where Atlan had forged the gold into relics. From them, he came to track down Atlan only to find that the Atlantean king had used the gold to forge relics that allowed him to sink the island city of Atlantis beneath the ocean.
