The Deserters were an ancient Atlantean tribe of weapon masters and metallurgists who used both Orichalcum and Nth metal, the latter of which they called "Gold's Legacy". They were the last of the kingdoms to be accepted during the reign of Atlan.[5][6][1]
History
Prime Earth
The Deserter Tribe originally came from Africa, and when Atlan returned to Atlantis to take revenge on his brother Orin, the Deserters fled back to Africa just before the Great Deluge.[1] They founded their own kingdom in what is now Ethiopia and interbred with the local population. Although the Kingdom of the Deserters eventually fell, many people of African descent around the world have Deserter blood,[2] including the Hyde family.[3]
The Deserters left an Orichalcum boulder with their memories somehow stored within for one of their distant descendants to find and rebuild their legacy. It was eventually discovered by the man known only as Devil Ray.[4]
Because they were not affected by the Great Deluge, the Deserters and their descendants do not possess the biological adaptations necessary to survive underwater like other Atlanteans.
