Kastor

Born in Atlantis, Kastor is the son of Arkantos and has never known his mother, who was killed by pirates many years ago. Kastor sees himself as a great warrior, but, although brave, he is not quite what he thinks he is. He would love nothing more than to fight a war by his father's side. Kastor sometimes spends time looking after the Theocrat Krios's horses. In Fall of the Trident, he is fourteen years old and, although he wishes to accompany Arkantos to the Trojan War, is told to stay home in Atlantis.

Ten years later, in The New Atlantis, Kastor is the main protagonist and the leader of the Atlantean people. He is said to be bitter over his father Arkantos's having mysteriously disappeared after the destruction of Atlantis, though he feels that Arkantos is somehow still alive. After being informed by Kronos's minion in the guise of Krios of a land that is much more hospitable than the Atlanteans' colony in the Norselands, Kastor leads his people through a mysterious portal which takes them to a lush and bountiful island. Upon arriving at this new destination, Kastor encounters ruined temples constructed in honor of the Titans and comes to the conclusion that the Atlanteans have found favor in their eyes, and subsequently orders the temples' repair. When Greek inhabitants of the island discover that the Atlantians are reconstructing the Titans' temples, they attack them, but are afterwards driven away from the island. Demanding an explanation for the attack, Kastor pursues them to their Greek city-state of Sikyos and upon arrival does battle with and defeats the army of Sikyos and kills its commander, Melagius. Before Kastor's army can take the city, however, Egyptian and Norse allies of Sikyos arrive to reinforce it. Kastor therefore withdraws and initiates simultaneous attacks in both Egypt and Midgard as a means of retaliation and to cause the Egyptian and Norse troops stationed at Sikyos to be forced to withdraw to defend their homelands. Kastor's diversionary tactics are successful, and the reinforcements withdraw to their respective homelands, leaving Sikyos defenseless. Upon the return of Kastor and his forces to Sikyos, Kronos's servant reveals to him a portal which leads him onto Mount Olympus. After setting foot on Mount Olympus, Kastor is overcome with the ambition of climbing to the summit of the mountain. Kastor succeeds in reaching the summit, and upon doing so, he is transported back to the exterior of Sikyos. It is here that the servant of Kronos makes himself known, and reveals to Kastor that he had masterminded his activities as a means of weakening the hold of the gods on the gates of Tartarus enough for the Titans to escape. Shortly after, the Titan, Prometheus, emerges in the center of Sikyos and begins to destroy the city. Kastor is then confronted and attacked by a group of Atlanteans who regard him as having betrayed his people, but is rescued by the newly arrived Ajax and Amanra, who had come to defend Sikyos against the Atlanteans. Afterwards, Kastor, Ajax and Amanra journey to Egypt to fight the Titan Cerberus first, as they regard Egypt as the most important land to defend. Later, in Midgard, they meet the Frost Giant Folstag, who is now a king, and fight the Titan Ymir. They eventually return to Sikyos, using the influence of Gaia to destroy Prometheus. Kastor finally returns to New Atlantis (the island that the Atlanteans arrived at through the portal in the Norselands and subsequently colonized) and confront the servant of Kronos there, who escapes through another portal. In following him, the heroes arrive on the remains of the island of Old Atlantis, where the gate from which Kronos nearly succeeded in escaping from in the previous campaign is located. Kronos attempts to escape from Tartarus by himself with the power of the Olympians broken, and succeeds, but with the help of the Titan Gaia, who, unlike the other Titans, is said to be a pacifist, Kastor succeeds in rebanishing Kronos to Tartarus and afterwards kills his servant while it tries to escape. Upon his victory, Arkantos appears to Kastor and confirms him as the new ruler of Atlantis, handing him the Staff of Atlantis.

In Fall of the Trident, Kastor is a weak hero unit who wields a sword. In The New Atlantis, Kastor is a hero unit armed with two swords whose special ability is a powerful sword attack which sends human units flying.

An interesting fact is that the word "Kastor" can be arranged into "Kratos", the agony hero in the game series God of War.

Special attack:

Kastor is an NPC in AOM,but is the main protagonist in the expansion with a special attack to send units(mostly infantry and archers and even some MU's) flying in the air which sounds death-knell for weak soldiers while deals moderate damage to some MU's like automaton and minotaur etc.
