(Adrastos is Sparta, like Horaios is Athens!)

Forced by his parents when he was a colt, to fend for himself out in the wilderness. The harsh lands guarded by beasts of nature, Melanthios who was abandoned and left defenseless, had no way to get back to Adrastos. And with no help from the gods, he was left to fight for survival.

Dealing scars all across his body, a tail which was half chewed and bitten off. And chewed ears, he learned just how merciless the world is.

And with no protection, no love and no empathy. It has sent him down a very dark path. One in which his parents punished him with under the guise of “making him strong”.

When he finally returned after years of surviving alone, he had to be educated to fit back into society and while his parents were “proud” he survived and proved himself a formidable fighter, Melanthios only sought to kill them and avenge himself in how he was treated.

He learned what he needed to, masked his true feelings on his parents until he truly felt ready to do what he had to.

When they were both killed at his hooves, the prince - now heir apparent to the throne - became the King. The Adrastans dared not challenge him, for his aggression and lack of remorse put fear into the people.

Melanthios’ mentality while horrible for a pony in his position, is at least “understood” in part by the Adrastans for the actions of his late parents.

It wasn’t a choice he had, it was something he was forced into. There was no talk of their son, no worry if he may have died. For how his parents led, it was very questionable. But they did love their people, but leaned too far into the old ways to see the flaws it carries.

Despite the sympathy, Melanthios’ actions as King may be devastating for the people. He had no positive role model, let alone a role model to aspire to.

He could very well be a ticking time bomb.
