History
Balaal's father Ossem was one of the great patriarchs of the Atlantean people. Balaal's brothers were killed by Atlantean barbarians and his father, a follower of the god Neptune, urged nonviolence. Balaal was the leader of a cult who worshiped the evil ancient god Set. Balaal's cult had built a device called the Golden Serpent to absorb their psychic energy in a bid to bring Set to Earth.[1]
When Balaal and his cult tried to sacrifice Ossem, Neptune smote the cult including Balaal, and protected Ossem.[1]
