Biography
Apeaclus was the leader of a group of royal warriors that ruled on Rodia. He was a vicious Emperor that was motivated by greed, and had his own temple called the Temple of Apeaclus, inside there were two awesome swords that opened portals. Once allied to the Tetsu Clan, he wanted at least thirty-eight million dollars, not getting them however, he left the clan and started selling faulty material and illegal slave trading. To avoid imprisonment, he convinced Anaconda Farr to make him emperor and then he oversaw the whole planet Rodia himself.

He held a deep hatred towards Tarkatans, even though he employed many as part of his criminal operation. Despite his status, he secretly feared K'etz Kahn, a mad warrior that was hiding on the swampy world. Apeaclus preferred to let his troops do his fighting for him. However, if pressed into battle, he often donned on heavy armor and wielded a large vibrosword. He and his royal guards fought Shao Kahn's secret son, Rain during the latter's mission on the forest world. When Apeaclus attempted to demand payment from Rain in exchange for life, Rain beated him up into speaking. Apeaclus vowed revenge, and later he and his men cornered and attacked Rain, also revealing that he recognized Rain as being a former comrade of Raiden, and also cited his intention of turning him in for a bounty. However, he was defeated in the ensuing duel. Knocked to the ground, he began to laugh maniacally, doing so he distracted the Edenian Prince long enough to allow one of his man's LAAT gunships to get a fix on him. However, the Prince cowardly escaped on his own starship and gone back to Edenia, leaving Apeaclus victorious.

Death
A few years later Rodia came under attack by Shao Kahn and his forces during a war with a rebellion by the Edenian Princess Kitana and an Amazonian commander named Zara. Most of the planet's native inhabitants were destroyed in the conflict. Anaconda Farr, who declared himself the Senator of Rodia, also the mayor who protected the Swords of Apeaclus, soon had to accept that their planet belongs to Shao aftering losing ten WWE tournaments. Farr was consumed by his own greed and lust for power, being gifted 18,000,000$ if he indeed accepts the defeat and hands over Rodia to Outworld, that meaning also allowing Shao to brutally murder Emperor Apeaclus. Today however, Outworld itself is ruled by a Rodian, Kotal Kahn, and for the treacherouy and greediness that Anaconda made, he was beheaded at the Outworld Market and his death was witnessed and applauded by many people. May all who put Rodia in harm's way, know the glory of death.
