Imortal is a sequel to the 2008 ABS-CBN fantasy series, Lobo. The previous series also starred Angel Locsin opposite Piolo Pascual. However, Lobo story-wise only included wolves without any reference of vampires. Although Locsin must be playing an almost identical character, it is revealed that her character in Imortal will be the daughter of her character in Lobo, which would explain the resemblance.
Lia Ortega - Honor was taken away from her when her heroic mother was branded a traitor by the whole of Lobo kind.

But to do this, she must first unleash the power that is sleeping inside her. Lia is the daughter of Noah and Lyka Ortega. Played by Angel Locsin.

But when strange things start happening to him, he seeks to find answers from his mysterious past. Unknown to him, he is destined for greatness and power only he can possess. But in order to obtain them, he must thread the very thin line between darkness and light, and risk losing his heart and soul forever. Played by John Lloyd Cruz
Achilles
In Greek mythology, Achilles (Ancient Greek: Ἀχιλλεύς) was a Greek hero of the Trojan War, the central character and the greatest warrior of Homer's Iliad.
Achilles also has the attributes of being the most handsome of the heroes assembled against Troy.
Later legends (beginning with a poem by Statius in the first century AD) state that Achilles was invulnerable in all of his body except for his heel. Since he died due to an arrow shot into his heel, the term "Achilles' heel" has come to mean a person's principal weakness.
Achilles' name can be analyzed as a combination of ἄχος (akhos) "grief" and λαός (Laos) "a people, tribe, nation, etc." In other words, Achilles is an embodiment of the grief of the people, grief being a theme raised numerous times in the Iliad (frequently by Achilles). Achilles' role as the hero of grief forms an ironic juxtaposition with the conventional view of Achilles as the hero of kleos (glory, usually glory in war).
