History
Aerivar the 18th was King of the Bird People.[3]
In the 1920's, when the child who would become Red Raven was found, Aerivar adopted him, despite some subjects' fear that he would cause their end, and had him became the heir of Cheiros, a bat-winged Inhuman deemed traitor and killed during the secession, for the human to atone to their bloody past.[2]
In 1940, at Red Raven's twentieth birthday, Red Raven was given artificial bat-like wings and sent by Aerivar to help humanity.[3]
He became convinced that ordinary humans were inferior to the Bird People and ordered an attack on humanity shortly after World War II. The attack was prevented by Red Raven who placed all the Bird People in suspended animation and had their island sink into the Atlantic Ocean.[4]Notes
Aerivar XVIII position regarding Red Raven varies from an account to another:
- Red Raven Comics #1 show Red Raven being adopted by Aerivar XVIII, despite other Bird People's fear that he might cause their end. The entry of Red Raven in Marvel Mystery Handbook 70th Anniversary Special #1 confirms that version.
- In X-Men #44, it is another unnamed Avian who propose to raise him, Aerivar making him responsible for his actions.
