Bio:
Hercules is a would-be adventurer and would-be hero. He is, however, a rather stupid, drunken, lazy, inefficient soul, and takes all character traits to such an extreme that they border malice....And, sometimes, crosses over that border. Indeed, from what little we know of his exploits so far, in many of his adventures, intelligence was notably absent. As was thoroughness and any kind of decency.

For example, when he "persuaded" Artemis, the Zookeeper of the Moonglow Zoo, to give a prized rare stag to Delucia, he had in fact kidnapped Artemis who had taken the form of the stag. It is unclear if this was an intentional kidnapping on his part, or if he was simply too stupid to notice when the stag pleaded with him in a human voice. As another example, he slew a rare, large ant lion on the pretext that it had been terrorizing Compassion Village (the gypsy encampment found when you follow the mountains south, then west from the Shrine of Compassion in Ilshenar). However, as it turns out the Ant Lion was the protector of the Village, ensuring its survival despite being caught between Ratman Territory and the Gargoyle Pass.

In fairness, Hercules did legitimately slay the Stygian Hydra, a fearsome beast. However, Hercules left behind the beast's immortal head, thus ensuring that sooner or later it would regrow and resume its legacy of evil.

He was to be Knighted by Queen Dawn for his exploits, but then his being a fraud was exposed by the Royal Spies (Her Majesty's Secret Service) and the Volunteer Royal Guard, as well as several amassed citizens who came expecting a formal banquet and were rather annoyed, justly, at the turn of events.

For his frauds, and for the kidnapping of Artemis, and for his behavior when he was exposed, Hercules was locked up in jail by Royal Guard Commander Christine Keel. He escaped with a couple of weeks, however, by bribing some of the Yew Jail guards with alcohol.

The Volunteer Royal Guard is, at the time of writing, knee-deep in cleaning up the many messes he left behind and trying to recapture or kill him.
