<br />Achilles is many things: King of the [[Myrmidon Warrior|Myrmidons]], son of Peleus and Thetis, hero of the Trojan War, traitor.  Dipped into the River Styx by his mother, Achilles' body was made invulnerable to attack except for his heel. He was pursued by the ever vigilant River Styx Guardians who never forgave Thetis for her transgression in making him nigh on invincible.  To escape their wrath, Achilles lived among the Amazons for some time, becoming the lover of their QueenThe Gorgon sister [[Eurayle]] was eager to obtain his skills.  Eurayle seduced and then enslaved him by stabbing Achilles' unprotected heel with her blades.  The once proud warrior became a sycophantic Disciple of EurayleDue to his near invulnerability, Achilles never became a mindless drone.  Instead he was a subservient followerHe took command of the [[Disciples of Eurayle|Disciples]], his unbeatable rage and tactical acumen still intactAchilles would go on to lead many successful Gorgon campaigns.

<br />The Myrmidons were less of a military and more of a mercenary army, willing to fight to the last for honor, glory, and, of course, moneyThey fought alongside the Spartans, Athenians and all of Greece during the Gorgon WarIt's hard to imagine that the Gorgon Horde was really so powerful that all of these forces combined were needed to hold them off.

<br />Achilles' turn to the Gorgon side during the war is mostly unknown to historyThe widespread rumors of his apparent death were encouraged by his fellow Myrmidons to hide the fact that he had led Eurayle's DisciplesAchilles and Eurayle's love for one another apparently gave birth to another mythical race that later emerged from the shadows of the time altered Dark Ages.
