Harek Korgon was born an ordinary human at the end of the 1st millennium. He was in love with Valthjona, daughter of King Rothgar. Since her father would not consent to marriage, the two fled their village together. They were still fleeing when an irradiated meteorite crashed on Earth right next to them. Valthjona was instanty killed. Harek was blinded but survived. He was mutated by the effects, gaining superhuman strength and immunity to aging and diseases, virtual immortality. He also gained energy--based powers but they flunctuated constahntly through his life. Harek became leader of a small colony which remained isolated from the rest of the planet for a thousand years. His energy was enough to cover the needs of the colony during that time.
