This is Ambar here with Zeus. Instead of doing Zeus as a president, a general, a judge or some other high powered official I decided to do something different with him. In this current incarnation he was an Air Force pilot for about twenty years or so who was shot down in Afghanistan and tortured for two months. That was nothing new, he'd been tortured before but one of the men had a sword that really hurt him in a way that he'd never felt pain before. Zeus was convinced that he really was going to die. He had an epiphany that he was well and truly alone. Despite the way he treated his family, he was very family-centric but in that moment he realized that none of his family liked him. That broke him completely so that he had to be honorably discharged from the service with severe PTSD. Afterward he lost all of his money and his pension was denied due to a clerical error so he's resorted to drugs. He lives on the streets of LA now, wandering around looking for his next fix of heroine, crack, meth, ecstasy, whatever's on hand. He's not picky so long as it keeps him from remembering.
