Rise of the Argonauts Character Profiles

IGN is offering up profiles for both Jason and Hercules as they're presented in Codemasters and Liquid Entertainment's Rise of the Argonauts. An excerpt about our hero:
The young king of peaceful Iolcus, an isle of tranquil villages and rolling farmlands, Jason expected to live a quiet life of service to his people. His sole desire was to marry his childhood friend and beloved fiancé, the Princess Alceme. But on the day of their wedding, an assassin's arrow cut through the clear morning sky and pierced her through the heart.

Unwilling to accept this terrible fate, Jason sets out on an epic journey to find and recover the legendary Golden Fleece, a powerful artifact lost for centuries. Along the way, he gathers to his side a crew of the greatest heroes and legends of the Greek world. In his path are fantastic monsters, impossible challenges, and the sinister forces of Hecate, the mysterious titan whose plots seem to confront him at every turn.

Like his fathers before him, Jason trained as a weaponmaster, able to wield sword, spear, or mace with equally deadly skill and finesse. At his side, the Iolcan Aspis, shield of his kingdom, is a powerful weapon in its own right, deflecting enemy attacks and smashing foes with concussive force. Whether shattering shields with his mace, impaling a distant foe with hurled spear, or decapitating his enemies with a single slash, Jason's lethal expertise makes him a powerful warrior in any situation.
