Nemo got to know Arronax better and showed him some of his past. The Nautilus continued its travels across the oceans. He hoped to use Arronax as an emissary in order to allow Nemo to share his secrets with the world. Nemo quickly invited Arronax to join him and reluctantly took Conseil and Ned as prisoners. After one such encounter, three survivors arrived aboard the Nautilus, Professor Aronnax, Conseil, and Ned Land. For several months the Nautilus traveled throughout the oceans, attacking numerous ships. After escaping, Nemo fled with other refugees to a remote island called Vulcania, where Nemo's ingenuity and scientific knowledge were exercised, including the construction of the submersible vessel, the Nautilus.Īfter the Nautilus was constructed, the former prisoners became its crew, with Nemo becoming the Captain. In the film, the earliest known account of his life is that he was originally a slave on the penal colony of Rura Penthe. He also keeps various preserved samples of various sea creatures and even has a pet sea lion, Esmeralda.Īccording to the original novel by Jules Verne, Nemo's past is shrouded in mystery with little revealed about his early years. He is content to leave the people on the surface to their own desires, at least when he is relaxed.Īll his food comes from some form of sea life. Nemo loves the ocean and made it his home. He only shows extreme emotion when in solitude, as shown prior to attacking a warship, where he indulges himself in performing on the ship's organ, only to have his playing become more dramatic and erratic. When his island base comes under attack, he risks being shot at by enemy troops when hurrying to set the explosives that will destroy the base. In his own way, he is also a brave man, personally leading his men into battle against the giant squid and risking his life to destroy it. This haunted Nemo, and fuels his crusade and a desire for revenge.Īs Captain of the Nautilus, he maintains a very serious, no-nonsense personality amidst his crew and towards Aronnax and his companions. When he refused, his wife and son were murdered, tortured to death. This remorse is mixed with a burning hate for the fact that the nation who enslaved him previously was responsible for subjecting him to extreme torture in an attempt to learn his scientific knowledge. He willingly attacks ships, but does show guilt even if the crew of the ship belonged to his enemy, "the hated nation." He is a brilliant genius, having created the Nautilus in the middle of the 19th Century, and powered it using a nuclear reactor a century before nuclear energy was discovered. Nemo has always been a mysterious character, always tending to keep to himself though he did reveal a few details of his past. 4.4.1 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage.4.1.1 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (walk-through attraction).
