Background

Icarus was once the young, kind-hearted son of the master craftsman, Daedalus. Much to Icarus's distaste, his father was incredibly distant, due to being constantly enraptured in his inventions. Icarus's mother also left him at a young age, having grown incredibly sick and passing away. Icarus only had one friend, in the form of a young woman who had grown romantically interested in him. Still, he longed to be free of the world, and fly away like a bird.

One fateful day, Daedalus's masterful inventions led to him creating a pair of wings useable by humans, made entirely of wood and held together by wax. Although Daedalus warned Icarus to never fly the wings too close to the sun, Icarus could not help himself from following his dream, and lept from the tallest cliff he could find. Unfortunately, the heat of the sun melted the wax of the wings, causing for them to break and sending Icarus to his death.

Incredibly depressed and feeling guilty due to his son's death, Daedalus frantically tried to find ways to bring him back. Eventually, he was able to create an incredible soul-infusing machine known as the Crasis, which he planned on using to infuse Icarus's soul back within his own body. In order to do this, he enlisted the help of Heracles, who had recently lost his younger brother, Iphicles, and was also desparate to revive him.

Heracles was placed on the Crasis in order to test the machine, when something went wrong and caused a massive fracture in Heracles's soul. The soul of Heracles would be split four separate ways; one quarter remained in Heracles, one quarter went into Daedalus, one quarter went into Iphicles, and the final quarter of Heracles's soul joined with Icarus's soul in the body of a marionette.
