     Dragonrider with the Fathom Five.
    Dragonrider would join the sea-dwelling terrorist group called the Fathom Five. Fathom Five is the superhuman strike force that serve a renegade faction of Atlantean extremists called At'la'tique. Fathom Five consist of their leader Llyron, Sea Leopard, Bloodtide, Manowar and Dragonrider. They have been conducting terrorist attacks on the surface world in the name of At'ta'lique and to honor the teachings of Nagala and Shakkoth. The first term of At'la'tique came into use four centuries ago from an Atlantean poet named Numara D'Athahr and described it as the "fury of the sea" but its derivation was synonymous with respect for the power and majesty of the ocean's might. D'Athahr was a religious outcast and opposed the Atlantean monarchy. The name would be adopted by a growing band of fringe radicals who have driven a wedge into Atlantean society. Mistress Nagala appears to be the new leader of At'la'tique and employs Fathom Five to attack the airlings and Namor's Atlantean troops.

    Fathom Five would attack New York City on two occasions and come into conflict with members of the Thunderbolts and other heroes. Blizzard attempts to contain Dragonrider and two of her monstrous serpents in ice but they easily break free. Fathom Five would retreat and attack New York City a few days later. Dragonrider and two of her serpents destroy the Brooklyn Bridge and engage with Atlas in his super-size form. However, Dragonrider and the rest of Fathom Five would be defeated by the Thunderbolts. Bloodtide, Dragonrider and Manowar would be taken into custody by the authorities. The current whereabouts of Dragonrider are unknown.
