History:

(Sub-Mariner II#4 (fb)) - An Atlantean loyal to Prince Namor, Cirin followed Argos into battle against Zoran and his rebels. Though they were outnumbered, Argos commanded one of his soldiers, Cirin, to lead a group back to the palace and defend it.

(Sub-Mariner III#5 (fb)) - After a deadly battle, Argos returned with his forces to the palace and reunited with Cirin and the others. They marshaled themselves for their final stand. Zoran and his men soon arrived and his men surrounded Argos, who fought them off. Just when it seemed they would be overwhelmed, Namor returned, slaying Zoran with a trident through the chest. Namor ordered the battle to cease and showed the soldiers the captive Kamar, the leader of the terrorists on the surface. He commanded that the other betrayers lose a hand and then be allowed to go free, despite Argos' concerns otherwise.

(Sub-Mariner III#6 (fb) - BTS) - Namor evacuated Atlantis, sending the Atlanteans to live on the surface disguised as humans.
