A medic and lover-of-life at heart, Apollo the Merciful has become everything that his title insinuates. Tenderhearted, loyal, and loving, this stallion loves all forms of life, from the Gods themselves to the tiniest of insects. He feels companionship with nearly everything; friends, allies, and especially to the thick trees that fill Helovia's forests. He detests fighting, violence, and battles with everything that he is, and won't fight unless he feels he must do so to protect the ones that he loves.

During his time in Helovia, Apollo has since overcome his fear of the dark, but is still extremely hydrophobic and refrains from visiting the Endless Blue unless he must.

'Cause I Don't Think That They'd Understand

As a youngster, Apollo's herd was structurally unsound. His parents passed on early due to disease, leaving he and his sister, Andreas, alone in a herd of struggling survivors. There weren't many, and as the years passed more and more of their numbers began to dwindle. Many of the inhabitants that made up the herd were power hungry, and looked for becoming the herd leader using brute force and cruelty. Not wanting to be associated to such, Apollo left the herd once he was old enough, searching for a place where he can finally belong and thrive in a structured environment.
