HERE YOU GO:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><strong>* * *<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><i><b>PROFILE:<\/b> An adventurer, inventor, and aristocrat, PRINCE LAZEROS is something of a hybrid between a Renaissance man and swashbuckler. He puts forth a devil-may-care attitude, though in reality he is a deeply motivated individual. Using his family fortune, Lazeros has developed an array of high-tech weaponry and armor. His battle harness (powered by synthetic green Korodite) mimics the principles of He-Man&#8217;s own battle harness, providing a personal protection field, and enhanced physical strength; his bionic arm-brace allows him full use of his crippled arm; and his energy sword is a formidable weapon, capable of cutting through metal and stone. In He-Man&#8217;s absence, Lazeros has become a friend and colleague to Man-At-Arms (the two have a friendly rivalry with respect to inventing), and a trusted ally of Team Grayskull. Lazeros has become somewhat smitten with Teela&#8211;this has brought him into occasional conflict with Savage (Team Grayskull&#8217;s other frequent ally) who is already his polar opposite in so many ways.<\/p>\n<p><b>HISTORY:<\/b> Once nothing more than a frivolous young aristocrat, Prince Lazeros&#8217;s life changed when he was caught in a terrorist attack while visiting the Eternian capital. The attack was perpetrated by none other than Skeletor and his henchmen. Inhaling a dangerous dose of nerve gas, Lazeros was lucky to escape with his life, though his right arm was left forever crippled. Had it not been for the intervention of He-Man, Lazeros and many others would have died. Inspired by He-Man&#8217;s heroism, Lazeros dedicated himself to bettering the world, and was able to use his financial resources to become an inventor and adventurer. In the years following He-Man&#8217;s disappearance, Lazeros is one of several young heroes who has stepped forward to fill the void. Dubbed the &#8220;Prince of Power&#8221; by the Eternian media, his exploits have won him much favor with the public.<\/i><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><strong>* * *<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Also posted on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.he-man.org\/\">He-Man.org<\/a> fan-art <a href=\"http:\/\/www.he-man.org\/forums\/boards\/forumdisplay.php?f=5\">forums<\/a> in my variants thread.
