Biography

Carelius was the king of an unidentified kingdom that existed in a futuristic timeline reality dubbed Earth-6311. He had a daughter named Ravonna Renslayer, who held the title of princess. When Carelius was an elderly man, the conqueror known as Kang threatened to decimate his kingdom with his army of followers unless Ravonna vowed to pledge herself to him as his wife. Ravonna was sickened by Kang's arrogance, and wished for nothing to to do with him. Carelius advised her to take Kang's threat under advisement, reminding her that sometimes a ruler must be willing to sacrifice their own liberties for the betterment of the kingdom. Ravonna ultimately decided to resist the threat of Kang's tyranny. They were assisted by members of the Avengers. King Carelius expressed gratitude to Captain America for rejuvenating the spirit of his people. As the battle commenced, Carelius' kingdom suffered severe damage. Carelius considered sending Ravonna someplace where she would be safe, but she refused to leave her people in their time of need. As it turned out, Kang's troops demanded the deaths of both the King and the Princess, which was counter to Kang's goals, as he sought Ravonna's hand in marriage. Kang turned against his own men and aided the Avengers in fighting against the legion, thus saving the kingdom from further damage.
