Biography
Incomplete

Lars Skørba was a modern day pirate who commanded a personal flying submersible called the Red Ray manned by a loyal crew of fellow pirates. Skørba sought the riches of a hidden underground ancient city buried beneath an undiscovered tropical region located in the North Pole. He knew that even with his advanced equipment, he could not safely navigate the underwater trenches leading to the ruins.

To facilitate his goals, Skørba captured Mark Harris, the amphibian colloquially known as the "Man from Atlantis". Keeping him at bay with an electro-collar, he threatened to destroy Mark's friends at the Foundation for Ocean Research unless he agreed to help him. Mark had little choice but to accept Skørba's demands and the pirate brought him to the North Pole. Mark convinced Skørba to release him from the collar or else he would not be able to navigate the underwater passageways. Skørba suspected treachery, but his desire for riches outweighed his logic and he set Mark free.
