King Triton

King Triton, more commonly known as the Sea King, is a character from The Little Mermaid and is a reoccurring character in The Disney Club. As his title implies, he is the king of sea, ruling from the kingdom of Atlantica and using his all-powerful trident to control over the seas. By his late wife Queen Athena, he is also father to seven daughters.

Personality
While Triton is a wise ruler and a devoted/loving father, his wife's death left a very nasty emotional mark on him. Though most likely accidental, her death at the hands of humans has made him very prejudiced towards them, to the point where he even discourages other mermen from saving humans from drowning. He is a strict disciplinarian whose overprotective nature towards his daughters has been the source of conflicts between them, especially Ariel and her obsession with humans. He also has a very explosive temper when provoked, which often leads to very violent results, though more often then not, he does immediately show remorse afterwards, and will admit when he goes too far.

However, he starts to have a change in his attitude after the Gang save his life. Coupled with seeing how much Ariel truly cared about them and, likewise, seeing how much they cared about her, he finally came around to accepting that she would be happiest up above, and... well, not put aside his prejudice towards humans entirely, but he at least became a little more rational and willing to give them more of a chance. This change in attitude is very apparent in his later appearances in the series. He's still very wise, but incredibly toned down temper wise, though his aggressive nature remains in times of crisis. He's even developed a bit of a soft spot for his daughter's human friends, letting them openly enter Atlantica anytime they wish and willing to defend them in times of danger just as much as he would any of his daughters.

Abilities/Skills/Weapons

 * Superhuman Strength

As a merman, despite Triton's old age, he is still far stronger than normal humans and even certain aquatic/marine creatures, to the point that most enemies of Atlantica avoid getting into a direct physical confrontation with him.


 * Superhuman Speed

As a merman, despite his old age, Triton is still much faster than normal humans and even certain aquatic/marine creatures, as he can move amazingly fast in the water, even for a merman. Ariel even described how once, he was able to get to Norway from Atlantica in less than a day.


 * Aquakinesis

Triton possesses the unique ability to manipulate water. One of his most frequent uses of this technique is lifting himself out of the water with a summoned wave-form and then channeling/funneling moving water to secure his stance.


 * Thermoendurance

As a merman, Triton is highly resistant to extremely cold temperatures and environments.


 * Trident

Triton wields his father's magic trident, which he uses to protect his family and Atlantica from all threats, it possesses several magical powers, like the power to turn merpeople into humans, according to Triton; the trident has more than the power of lightning itself, but only in the hands of the current monarch of the royal bloodline of Atlantica.

Ariel
Triton's relationship with his youngest daughter is... rocky, to say the least. Though he's constantly at odds with her regarding humans and dangerous adventures, he loves her a great deal, and is always shown to have a large feeling of guilt and remorse whenever he upsets her. He also has a  fear that he may be becoming too strict, hateful and maybe even abusive towards her at times, struggling in both keeping her safe and being a loving father.
