Nebula



Nebula was the half-sister of Gilgamesh and princess of Sumeria. She left her royal house and country because she disagreed with the unfair treatment of women by Sumerians (HTLJ "Faith"). She went on to forge a career as a great pirate captain.

Hercules and Iolaus first encountered Nebula when she and her crew landed on a deserted island in the Charybdian Sea to bury their treasure. The island was in fact inhabited by Arachne who killed all of Nebula's crew before Hercules and Iolaus were able to defeat her. Nebula became attracted to Iolaus and they began a flirtation that would lead to their falling in love (HTLJ "Web of Desire," "Faith").
