Triton's father was a member of the Triton clan, dwelling in Atlantis five millennia prior to the story's main events. The clan lived peacefully until the rival Poseidon family, driven by envy over their achievements, targeted them for extermination. This genocidal campaign nearly erased the Triton clan, claiming the life of Triton's father among countless others. His death and the clan's destruction became the catalyst for the narrative's central conflict. The attack's sole survivor was his infant son, Triton, rescued by a dolphin named Ruka. Beyond this foundational role as Triton's slain father and the motivation for vengeance stemming from his death in the Poseidon assault, no further details regarding his specific role, personal traits, relationships, or actions before the attack are provided.
