Glaucus is Ari's deceased twin brother.
Biography[]
Turned into the Minotaur[]
Glaucus was the first twin to be born, however he was not breathing at first; it's stated several times that he was "born blue", contrasting his sister who "came out screaming". Though Glaucus was weaker than Ari, the pair were very close, and it is implied the twins were raised normally for the first 18 months of their lives.
Their father, President Minos, was too concerned with his own prophecy to let it continue. One night, Minos ordered Daedalus to remove him. Both Pas and Ari were told that the latter had rolled on top of Glaucus in their sleep, suffocating him. In reality, Glaucus was locked in the basement and kept in isolation.
The longer Minos hid Glaucus from the outside world, both physically and socially, the more animalistic he became. Glaucus developed a violent attitude towards all his handlers (save for Daedalus), which eventually led to him killing one. Minos found this impressive, and sought to turn his son into a weapon.
Whilst Daedalus escorts Ari into the dungeon to see Glaucus for the first time since they were babies, Glaucus' cage is unlocked. Daedalus attempts to guide Ari back to safety but he is attacked and killed by Glaucus before they can make it back to the surface. Ari runs, but eventually finds herself cornered by Glaucus, who can sense that Ari is his sister and chooses not to hurt her. She takes his mask off, at which point, Minos arrives and charges at Glaucus, who momentarily has the upper hand until Minos manages to grab his knife and kill Glaucus, stabbing him in his upper body before slitting his throat. Minos explains that he had to defy his prophecy to protect their family, but it's then that Ari realizes that her father got the prophecy wrong. The first child to draw breath is said to kill him dead. While Glaucus was born first, he was blue, and it was Ari who came out screaming. She then proceeds to kill her father with the same blade he just used to kill her brother.[1]
Ari drags Glaucus' body up into the palace, where she calls out to her mother and reveals that her father lied about his death and turned him into a Minotaur for the Gods. Ari tried to save him but she failed. Pas is in shock, crying as she approaches Glaucus' body, at which point Ari reveals that she killed Minos, for which Pas is pleased with her.[2]
