Details
Three thousand years ago, Zeus, all powerful (and infuriatingly unfaithful) king of the Olympian gods seduced a Greek woman in the guise of her husband while he was away at war. The child was named 'Heracles' in an attempt to placate the powerful wife of Zeus (hint: it didn't work).
The tales of Heracles have been retold many times: his upbringing, his labors, but his final fate was an illusion. After being accidentally poisoned by his second wife, Heracles flung himself on a funeral pyre; at that moment, the gods struck him with lightning, peeling his immortal essence away from his flesh and placing him in Olympus as a fully-fledged god. However, he never forgot his trials, and perhaps never forgave. He would intermittently leave Olympus on errands to the mortal world, watching in wonder as it changed. During this time, he changed his name to Hercules, no longer caring if it offended the other gods or not (it hadn't helped worth a damn, at any rate!).
His last excursion, however, annoyed the other Olympians enough to exile Hercules to Earth, with the understanding no Olympian deity would interfere with him for good or ill. This suited the Prince of Power just fine, and he set his sandals on the road, seeking adventure in this new age of wonders and heroes.
