Kryptos was awoken on July 30th, 1898 by his guardians Sir William Ramsay and Morris W. Travers.
Kryptos was awoken in Great Britain when evaporating liquid air, left behind a residue that contained Krypton.
Origin Story:
Long ago, in the cosmic clouds of the gas giant planet Krypton Prime, an extraordinary being was born — Krypto's. He was formed not from ordinary matter, but from the very essence of the noble gas Krypton itself. This element, rare and inert, was discovered by the Earth scientists Ramsay and Travers in 1898, and they unknowingly awakened the cosmic spirit of Krypton in their laboratories.
Krypto's is an elemental guardian, infused with the unique physical properties of Krypton gas. Unlike other beings, he exists in multiple states of matter, able to shift seamlessly between solid, liquid, and gaseous forms — reflecting Krypton's melting point at -157.36°C and boiling point at -153.22°C. When cooled near these extreme temperatures, Krypto's can crystallize into a brilliant, solid form, nearly impenetrable and shimmering like the noble gas under intense pressure.
