History

Nikomedes was born in the decades leading up to the Trojan War. His father was
the war-god Ares and his mother Aglaea the mortal queen of the island kingdom
of Symi. Nikomedes was stepson to King Charopus and half-brother to Nireus who
would inherit the throne of Symi just as the Trojan War erupted over the kidnapping
of Menelaus' bride to be Helen by Paris of Troy.

As Nireus had been a suitor of Helen before Menelaus, and the most handsome of the
Achaeans after Achilles, the new king joined the war for Helen and Nikomedes ever a
loyal brother joined him in pursuit of the stolen queen of Sparta.
