Background:
Dominikos was born in the working class suburb of Acharnes just outside of Athens, Greece. His early life was largely uneventful until September 7, 1999. On that fateful day, Dominikos’ mutant powers manifested themselves. This first explosion of mutant potential revealed itself much to Dominikos’ horror. At first he believed he was having a seizure, but soon he realized that it was not just his body that was shaking, it was the very ground beneath his feat. What Dominikos did not realize, was that he had manifested his powers and those powers caused him to expel powerful waves of vibration. Unfortunately for Dominikos and his countrymen he lived very near a natural fault line. His vibrational powers had caused a terrible earthquake. In the days to follow he was wracked with guilt over the awesome devastation that his powers had wrought. Overall, 143 people lost their lives and more than 2,000 were treated for injuries in what eventually became Greece's deadliest natural disaster in almost half a century. Later, Dominikos would learn that this event took Greek seismologists by surprise as it came from a previously unknown fault, originating in an area that was for a long time considered of a particularly low seismicity. He, of course, knew the true source.
Dominikos sequestered himself away from people until he learned to control his powers. Eventually, Mystique found him and tried to recruit him. At first, Dominikos declined, but his loneliness got the better of him and he agreed to help her. He was initially a reluctant member of her Brotherhood. He refused to use his powers in acts of terrorism, as he still felt guilt over the events of years before. As a result he retired from the Cell to live in peace in Magneto’s mutant society in the Savage Lands. He met a young woman named Amara Aquilla. Despite being over ten years his junior, the two began a relationship based on their similar powers. Dominikos found peace and companionship for the first time in his life.
All of that changed when, in April of 2008, the US government used the Sentinels to attack the Savage Lands. Amara was seriously wounded in the attack and lapsed into a coma. Dominikos was enraged by this and rejoined Mystique’s Cell seeking vengeance for his love. He remains in the Cell, despite his doubts about how Amara would view his actions. Were Amara ever to recover, he would no doubt leave the group behind.
