Apollo (/əˈpɒləʊ/ IPA, Απολλο in Olympian) is the Greek god of sun, light, music, poetry and medicine. Son of Zeus and the Titan Leto, twin brother of Artemis, husband of Helen of Troy, Apollo is one of the most powerful gods of his pantheon. His sector shares borders with Ares and Athena sectors, which are his main rivals.
He was the main adversary of “Supernova blues” storyline.
Biography
Almost nothing is known of Apollo’s earliest years.
Apollo grew to become one of the superpowers of the Olympian Galaxy, greatly surpassing his twin sister Artemis and reaching Class-2 status.
Possibly because of this, Apollo became even more self-centered than most of his siblings, insisting on his superiority and requiring absolute loyalty and adoration from his followers.
Sometime after Vesta’s exile, he was married to his half-sister Helen of Troy, demigoddess daughter of Zeus and most beautiful woman in the universe.
The couple has had no son but 297 daughters, none of which has inherited immortality from her parents.
Easily manipulated thanks to his massive ego, Apollo was forced to join a war against the Egyptian pantheon. Nephthys proved far too powerful for Apollo, who was saved only thanks to Noriko Null‘s intervention.
When Ares declared war on him, Apollo nominated Null the Supreme Divine Commander of his Oracles, but engaged Ares in a direct fight and was soundly defeated.
In retaliation for betraying her trust and as punishment for revealing to Ares the location of Earth, Noriko Null killed Apollo with an advanced form of her Final Abyss.

Trivia
- After the Trojan War he was responsible for destroying Alba Longa, one of the planet under Hestia‘s rule.
- Shortly before the exile of Hestia, he mentioned having heard a prophecy about the future birth of a Slayer of Gods. Given Athena’s interest for his remarks, he may be indirectly responsible for Noriko Null’s rise to power and his own eventual demise.
