Lizard's father of record is Atreus, her mother's husband (and most probably the father of Lizard's two brothers). He disappeared when Lizard was about seven years old; until the events told in THE FURIES, she believed that he had deserted the family. We now know that Atreus, a warrior of some note, had come home from Ares' temple in a rage, and had tried to kill Lizard. Lizard's mother killed him to save her daughter's life. These events are not as clear-cut as they may seem, however. What had Atreus learned from Ares to put him in such a blind rage? And why was he so determined to kill his young daughter?
