A retired member of the Greek Elite Four, Heracles recently returned to the competitive scene once again after he grew tired of the position. During his time there, he specialized in Rock-types and took on a defensive battle style where he could strike when his opponents least expected it. His mother was a former champion in the country and coached him up until her premature death when he was a teenager.

A lover of ancient history, he donates his time to helping researchers unlock secrets of what people and Pokemon have left behind. Heracles is a fossil maniac and frequently gives his home as a shelter for stray cats. His first Pokemon was a Helioptile and now serves as his ace as a Heliolisk.
