Arion, also referred to as Arion, Lord of Atlantis, Arion the Immortal, is a sword and sorcery superhero and antihero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. He debuted in Warlord #55 (March 1982), created by Paul Kupperberg and Jan Duursema. The character is commonly associated within Aquaman and Power Girl, his stories and history having retroactively been connected to the former's version of Atlantis.
An immortal wizard and demigod from ancient Atlantis, Ahri'ahn served as its ancient protector, the era's Sorcerer Supreme, and a ranked member among the Lords of Order. Unlike conventional DC Lords, Arion is one of the few (alongside Amethyst) to possess a natural human form. The character's magical exploits, scientific discoveries and heroism in the fictional mythology of Atlantis makes him a revered figure and the cultural progenitor of the Homo magi race and their descendants. Surviving into the modern day, he is the ancestor of several notable heroes and villains such as Zatanna, Aquaman, and Ocean Master. The character was also once retroactively a relative to Power Girl, until this change was later also reversed, and has acted as both a hero and villain.
Arion appears in Young Justice, voiced by David Kaye.
