Introduction Written by Scribe
You may be wondering where I have been hiding for the last few months. Well, I’ve been busy. I’ve expanded Delos to thirteen different states in the United States and in three other countries, including Holland and England. I’ve been performing a lot more and even went on a worldwide tour as Pollo. A lot of people say I remind them of the 90’s boy bands a la Nick Carter and co. I’ll take it as a compliment.
I’m done with my tour now and my expansion, so I’ve been slumming it in New York City at my club with the mortals. I needed some space from dad, so I’ve decided to go out on my own without him for a bit. Who knows, maybe I’ll be back to the God Complex eventually, but for now I’m enjoying my time being voted the Most Eligible Bachelor in New York City.
