Lotor is the estranged dark prince of the Galra Empire, defying his Emperor father Zarkon and ultimately expelled by him, motivating the unusual prince on Venus to travel to Earth to seek a new life and settle down in America as a prince.

Lotor transforms himself into an Algerian-American capitalism scholar named Amlan Satan and takes up a teaching position at Dartmouth College (Ivy League). Amlan Satan wants to evaluate the capitalism ergonomics in the globe about blood-diamond (warlord-mined gems from Africa/Europe used to fund terrorism!) traffic corrupting the commercial integrity of clean gems in North America.

LOTOR (Amlan Satan): I like it here on Earth, in America, at Dartmouth, studying blood-diamond capitalism aesthetics!

Lotor helps the Dartmouth engineering club create a mock-working replica of the iconic sci-fi fantasy-car the Delorean and fits it with a special hydrogen-powered tube-engine enabling it to reach 100 mph speeds quickly and even temporarily go above ground-level when taking jumps. He wins the Nobel Prize.

LOTOR (Amlan Satan): I'm using my Nobel proceeds to invest in society-laurels like Sports Illustrated (USA).

Lotor had become a huge fan of the Dartmouth College men's ice-hockey team, cheering on the Big Green as they challenged the rest of the table for the Ivy League crown. He wrote in the New Yorker, "The Dartmouth ice-hockey games are to modern college athletics what arguably the Atari-era was to the inception of the video-game generation...a real brain-food for those hungry for competitive imagination!"

Lotor helped the CalTech/Dartmouth association develop a special vintage retro-game for ice-hockey fans, designed to make the virtual game feel certainly more dioramic and ballet-like. After all, isn't ice-hockey all about social distancing?

Lotor tried to marry. He dated many gorgeous young American women, including Kristy Wright, but ultimately, he failed to make a sincere spiritual connection, haunted by the overbearing shadow of his stern ostracizing father who'd managed to shape him into an ambition-oriented deep thinker. However, he used his special society funds from Dartmouth to buy his young son Damian a special non-violence designed toy-rifle gun, which was presented in an article in Esquire.

LOTOR (Amlan Satan): I wonder if the legacy of 9/11 will be one of pure American anti-terrorism dogma.

Lotor spent some time applying his capitalism-ergonomics analyses at Dartmouth (and CalTech!) to help Interpol-relations chart special blood-diamond highways stretching from Europe to North America, threatening basic diamond-merchant diaries among modern Jewish businessmen seeking to protect democracy from new-era darkness.
