Erlon

Erlon was a Triclops monk who was famous for teaching the Tri-Beam to Master Mutaito (which he invented). In his time (long before Tien's birth), he was the strongest Triclops.

Bio
Born and raised on the Heavenly Moon, home to the Triclops, Erlon was a prodigy. He travelled the North Galaxy and learned martial arts from a Martian hermit. Going back to his home, he taught martial arts to other Triclops but also practiced the spiritual and psychic abilities of the Triclops.

In his prime and at the height of his success, Erlon came to Earth and taught Mutaito the Tri-Beam technique.

Erlon, however, lived a short life compared to other Triclops. He died at the age of 95, dying when he helped other Triclops escape the Heavenly Moon when King Piccolo destroyed it.

Power
Erlon had a power level of 130. He was strong enough to defeat most normal Humans and to defeat stronger Humans like Nam and General Blue, but was not strong enough to defeat Mercenary Tao or any of King Piccolo's sons. He could go toe to toe with Master Mutaito.

Erlon would be easily defeated even by the average low class Saiyan warrior or many of Frieza's soldiers.
