These three people are the three judges of the underworld in Greek mythology, and the legend is that Ayagos and Radamandis first adjudicated, and if there is a disagreement, it will eventually be decided by Minos, so in the comics, the head of the "Underworld Three" is Minos, not Radamandis, who played the most drama before.

In Greek mythology, Radamandis was the son of Zeus and Europa and the younger brother of Minos, the Third Judge of the Underworld.

This is a legendary creature in the West, different from the common Western Dragon, but called "Wyvern", a little smaller than the Western Dragon, most of the time does not breathe fire, symbolizing plague, conquest and so on. Going back to Latin, it actually has the meaning of "poisonous snake".
It was a frequent visitor to European literature, mythology and folklore, and appeared frequently in medieval heraldry. Today, it can also be seen in fantasy literature, video games, and mascots for schools and sports teams.

The legend of the bipedal wyvern is widespread in Europe, so in the comic book setting, Radamandis was born in the Faroe Islands. It is an overseas self-governing territory of Denmark and is located in the Atlantic Ocean northwest of Scotland, England.

Garoulo Eacos
In Greek mythology, Ayyagos was the son of Zeus and the goddess of the river, Edna, and was known for his justice.

It is the mount of Vishnu, one of the three main gods in Hinduism, and one of the eight tribes in Buddhism, devouring one dragon king and five hundred poisonous dragons every day. Later, it was introduced to China and merged with the Peng bird, and the image of the "Dapeng Golden-winged Bird" appeared.
The cult of Garouro is more prevalent in East, Southeast and South Asia, and is used as a symbol of strength.
