 * Name:  Atlas Mandibula (Birthname: Spiros Kakos)


 * Age: 47


 * Personality: Atlas is a jerk and he can't help it, but despite this he means well. Being a former mobster, Atlas gets a good read on people and can easily tell if they're lying to him or others. Prone to violence, Atlas often puts thought aside when infuriated but when the times comes, he'll hesitate to kill someone he knows he shouldn't. Atlas puts others before himself and becomes loyal to those who show him legitimate affection.


 * Backstory: Born in the small town of Agios Nikolaos in Greece, Spiros grew up as a diligent farmhand, raising cattle and growing crops with the rest of his small family. Atlas was his parent's only child and as such was treated well by them, despite how poor they were. Despite this, they were still among the town's wealthiest and this earned them the attention of the local crime organization. This led to them regularly being shaken down by their enforcers.

When things finally got out of hand, the town fought back against the constant abuse and many people were killed in the ensuing battle. A 17 year-old Spiros was one of those few fortunate souls to be rafted out of Greece, and eventually be dropped off in Italy. Spiros promised himself to never return to Greece, as they were his parent's final wishes. Life in the big city of Venice didn't suit Atlas very well as finding a job that related to his skill set was difficult in a city of water. That is until Atlas had a running with a group of mobsters. Having closely observed such people his entire life, Atlas joined them out of desperation, finally beginning to make ends meat. Oddly enough, he found an easy time killing and robbing other people. He climbed the organization slowly until he reached the top.

One day, his parents had tracked him down and feasted their eyes as to what their son, who was sent away so he could live a better life, had become. Plastered in disappointment, both cut ties with Spiros. Spiros had an epiphany, one that told him he shoved his parent's humanity aside to make it in life, a life he was no longer worthy of living.

But he couldn't muster up the courage to kill himself, so Spiros faked his death by seemingly poisoning himself and had his "corpse" relocated to Little Rock, Arkansas. Life in LR wouldn't last however and soon a relocation agency gave him a new life as a used car salesman in Miami, Florida under a new name, Atlas Mandibula. Here, Atlas gained a modest but wholesome living. He changed for the better and soon a woman fell on his sights. Her name was Connie. Connie agreed to marry Atlas in spite of his past life as a criminal. On the day of his 28th birthday, the couple wed but soon after the apocalypse become a reality.

Surviving together, secluded in small town for 5 years, Connie died giving birth to their daughter, Leanne. Atlas raised Leanna for 6 more years until bandits attacked him. Opting to spare his life and his daughter's, they instead took Leanna as their own. This left Atlas completely devastated and returned to suicide once more...but he had a new cause in life now and it was to be re-united with Leanna again. Eventually arriving in the safe zone of Livingston, Florida, Atlas found a home being a farmer again even if his rude demeanor put a lot of people off. Kids always loved him, though.

Now Atlas waits for the day he is finally re-united with his dear Leanne.
