Aquaman awakens to discover that he has been unconscious for six months, and in that time, the Dead King has seized control of Atlantis. Vulko had helped Arthur to escape and now helps Arthur learn the truth: the Dead King is Atlan, who was the first ruler of Atlantis, who was overthrown and his family was killed by his treacherous brother Orin. Once Atlan successfully defeated Orin and reclaimed the throne, Atlan sank Atlantis. Vulko reveals that Arthur is not descended from Atlan the true king of Atlantis, but is instead descended from the villainous Orin.
