Fujimoto is a sea-dwelling sorcerer who claims that he's no longer human. He fell in love with the sea goddess Granmamare and fathered numerous children with her.
Abilities[]
While not as powerful as his wife and children, Fujimoto is an expert in brewing potions and is also capable of creating living, sentient sea blobs to do his bidding.
Despite spending his life in the sea, he still seems to breathe air and moves around in his submarine. However, he does carry a device to spray seawater over whenever he goes on dry land, suggesting that he needs humidity.
History[]
Living in his air-filled undersea lair, Fujimoto grew to resent humanity for the pollution they caused. He planned to use his magical potions to shift the balance of Earth and bring back several prehistoric species of fish and invertebrates; an event he described as a new Cambrian explosion.
