Aric of Dacia, nephew of Alaric, King of the Visigoths, is consumed by a relentless desire for vengeance against the Romans, who killed his parents when he was a child. Driven by his thirst to annihilate them, he launches a nighttime assault on what he believes is a Roman encampment, only to be captured by the Spider Aliens. This marks the beginning of years of enslavement. This prologue to "Retribution" (X-O MANOWAR #1, 1992) explores how Aric ultimately bonded with the powerful alien armor known as X-O Manowar."
