This wanderlust runs in his blood--he comes from a [[Zeridia Family|long line of explorers]] that take pride in continuing the family tradition. | ||
Impulsive by nature, Vultro often leaps before he looks, sometimes to his detriment. He struggles to consider the long-term consequences of his actions, and his decisions, while earnest, can lead to trouble. He can also be emotionally distant or aloof, taking a long time to warm up to new people. | Impulsive by nature, Vultro often leaps before he looks, sometimes to his detriment.

Beneath the impulsiveness and aloofness lies a loyal and protective heart. Vultro deeply cares for those closest to him, particularly his sisters [[Raven the Gray Wolf]] and [[Jenny the Fox]]. His love for them runs deep, and he’s willing to risk everything to keep them safe--even when his recklessness makes things harder in the long run. | |||

Vultro was born on South Island | Vultro was born on South Island on 0 ABV, to Obelus and Lily Zeridia. At the age of four, his parents mysteriously vanished without a trace. He was taken in by his aunt, [[Asha the Fox]], and raised on West Side Island. Asha, fearing that the Zeridia bloodline was somehow cursed, never told Vultro the full story of his parents' disappearance. Her growing fear that Vultro might be next kept her emotionally distant. | ||
Shortly after his eighth birthday, feeling isolated and unwanted, Vultro ran away. He took shelter in a cave near Green Hill Zone, where he spent his days exploring the nearby terrain. It was here that he met a mysterious gray wolf named [[Raven the Gray Wolf]], who had also been exploring the cave systems.

Alongside his friend [[Wreck the Fox]], he helped stop a local robot uprising--an event considered his first real heroic act (''[[The Secret of Robots]]''). The details of this incident have since been lost, making it the subject of much speculation. | ||

Shortly after Planet Etheria, Vultro began seeking a more reliable way to reach the planet Ethos, hoping to complete the mission he originally intended years earlier. While asking around for transportation, he was overheard by a young leopard named [[Lilah the Leopard]], a native of Ethos. Intrigued by his story, and perhaps by Vultro himself, Lilah offered to take him there personally. This chance meeting marked the beginning of their partnership, both romantic and exploratory. | |||

A villanous faction called The Horde, led by Horde Prime, sought to reclaim Etheria and absorb its ancient magic into its empire. Vultro and Lilah allied with the planet’s defenders--a group of humans including [[Adora]], [[Catra]], and the [[Princess Alliance]]--to resist Prime’s conquest. | ||
Though initially out of their depth, Vultro's speed and cleverness proved vital in disrupting Horde communications, while Lilah’s tactical instincts helped fortify Etheria’s defenses. The battle tested their bond, and by the end of the campaign, they left Etheria forever changed, with new allies and a broader understanding of the multiverse’s fragility. | Though initially out of their depth, Vultro's speed and cleverness proved vital in disrupting Horde communications, while Lilah’s tactical instincts helped fortify Etheria’s defenses.

His pursuit led him and Lilah to discover [[Earth-7642]], an unstable nexus point connecting countless universes together. | ||
They quickly uncover a plot by [[Dr. Robotnik]], who had traveled to the 21st century to collect a powerful and mysterious set of gems called the [[Infinity Stones]]. Realizing the scale of the threat, Vultro allied with local hero [[Morgan Jade Watson]], who had recently acquired spider-like powers. | |||
With | With M.J.’s help, the trio sought to track Despara and stop Robotnik’s time-meddling before it could alter history irreversibly. The mission drew in other Spider-Women and culminated in a chaotic, high-stakes clash atop Oscorp Tower.
