Aku was a Celerity Demon and mentor to Sarpedon, whom he taught of the upcoming threat of Avatars. He fought his pupil to determine his strength and was subsequently vanquished by him.
History[]
Searching for the Potions[]
In 1981, Aku attempted to obtain some ancient potions with two other demons, leading to the deaths of Jack and Ruth Brody. This left Kyle Brody an orphan and triggered his vendetta against the Avatars, whom he believed responsible for the attack.
Fighting his Pupil[]
At some point in time, Aku mentored Sarpedon and taught him about the threat of the Avatars. In 2004, his pupil started collecting guardian angels to make himself stronger and fight the arrival of the Avatars. He challenged Aku to a fight and lost, after which he obtained the angel guarding Paige Matthews.
Sarpedon fought his mentor again and wounded him. Aku then congratulated him and hoped the angels were enough to protect him against the Avatars. Sarpedon then thanked him and vanquished him with an energy ball.
