Who is Oberon?

Character History Oberon and the Mermaid Oberon is the King of Shadows and Fairies. He was first depicted in the Arthurian Legends and later in the Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. Vertigo: Auberon first made his appearance in the comic book universe in The Sandman #19, and like his wife Titania, it is made clear that Morpheus made a pact with William Shakespeare. The details of the pact as to what Shakespeare had to do to fulfill his part of the pact are unknown. But it's believed that in exchange for the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" Shakespeare took his troupe into the realms of the Faerie where they gave a live performance of the play for Titania and Auberon. As in the play, there are several things that hit home with Auberon. He is indeed married to Titania.... and as the play suggests they have a very tenuous marriage.
