Chaon is the former god of evil, chaos, and madness in the Atlantean pantheon. While he once was as one of the Lords of Chaos that served as Arion's greatest evil enemies, he later became a reluctant confidante for the Lord of Order after the return of the source of Atlantean magic.
History
One of the earliest known Lords of Chaos, Chaon was a frequent enemy of the sorcerer, Arion, during his days as Lord High Mage and later Lord of Atlantis. After frequent encounters where Chaon was foiled in his attempts to tip the balance towards chaos, he manage to gain a victory over his age-long enemy when he destroyed Atlantis.[1]
Eventually, Chaon lost his power when the Darkworld entity woke up, cutting off the source of Atlantean magic for thousands of years. In his human identity, he became a shady deli shop owner in New York City. Eventually, when Atlantean magic came back, he enjoyed its use to improve his current life.[2]
