Derkus Petronicus



Derkus Petronicus or "Derk" murdered a public official in Sparta. He escaped only to have Hercules hunt him down. Hercules accompanied him on the prison ship Enyalios back to Sparta to ensure Derk would get a fair trial. En route, the ship capsized in a storm and Hercules and Derk were washed ashore on an island inhabited by deadly Sand Rays. They finally managed to escape on a pirate ship.

Arriving in Sparta, Derk was condemned to hang for his crime. Hercules did not believe this was a fair punishment. He set Derk free and told him to go to his family.

Derkus Petronicus was married to a woman named Kara with whom he had three children, including Older Boy and Sister.
