Atlas was originally a puppet, sewn together by some loose threads by a puppeteer. But said puppeteer wanted Atlas to have a little character, so what did he do? He had sewn a ruby that he had recently bought into Atlas' eye, not knowing that this ruby mightve been something a bit more than a normal ruby. When the old puppeteer went to sleep, Atals began to grow and transform into the being he is now. But not knowing how to walk yet exactly, he tripped into a table, which caused a loud noise alerting the old puppeteer. When the puppeteer rushed down the stairs he saw Atlas and threatened him, thinking that Atlas was a someone attempting to rob him. So Atlas stumbled outside and started his life as it is now
