Description

Many, many centuries ago the Third Race was ruled with an iron first by Queen Mab, the mother of Oberon. At her side was the loyal Tiamat, the self-styled goddess of the ocean who proved just as cruel and capricious as her beloved Queen. She ruled the seven seas with her 'dragons' (also called leviathans) and it is rumored that she is the progenitor of the Atlantean race -- though she naturally saw them moreso as choice slaves rather than children. Her worshipers were just as apt to be drowned by her for no reason at all as those who didn't even know her name would be allowed to pass unmolested; such was the fae's unpredictable nature.

When Oberon rose up against his mother, Tiamat was one of those who remained loyal to Mab and fought viciously against her own kin until she was finally defeated. Though offered amnesty to become a child of Oberon, Tiamat refused and denounced him and swore vengeance for herself and her Queen. As punishment, Oberon locked her deep beneath the ocean floor -- never close enough to draw on its power, but still able to feel enough of the tides in her blood to torment her until the end of time.

It wouldn't be until an offshore drilling rig broke open her prison that she was finally able to escape; her mad fury heralded by a horrific storm that swept through most of the world's oceans. Still weakened from her time away from her element and not wishing to engage Oberon just yet, Tiamat retreated to Atlantis itself and found it a shell of what she had left behind. Angered anew, she quickly set about enslaving the remnants of the Atlantean race all over again and began to awaken her sleeping leviathans. When Acaeileus' clan ran afoul of her while searching for their lost clan leader, Tiamat demanded their loyalty and was rebuffed. In the end, a handful of his kin were able to escape her wrath while the rest found themselves imprisoned within Atlantis.

As her power grows, so do her ambitions to destroy the kin who turned on her and their 'rightful Queen' and force Oberon to tell her where he imprisoned Mab... even if it means sinking Avalon and everyone living there to the depths.

Notes: Yes, this is a Disney's Gargoyle's OC based off of the Grimorum's page concerning the Fae and how Oberon became their lord. She is the main antagonist in the ongoing picture-story I've been doing involving my and several others' gargoyle characters. You can see the first one HERE. The background is courtesy of Disney.
