Lord Orm was Aquaman's villainous and treacherous half-brother.
History
Orm hired Deadshot to murder his half-brother, and then took over the throne as regent of Atlantis. He planned to lead a war against the surface-dwellers. Orm used his nephew as bargaining chip to ensure Mera's cooperation, and then took him to a cliff near a volcano, where he strapped him next to Aquaman. Orm gloated about killing them both, blaming it on the surface-dwellers, and thus insuring his rightful inheritance to the throne. He departed, leaving Aquaman and his infant baby to plummet to their deaths.
Orm's death
Afterwards, he used the plutonium from a U.S. nuclear submarine to arm an Atlantean nuclear meltdown device to melt the polar cap, and submerge the entire planet. When Aquaman tried to disarm it, Orm confronted him, and had the upper hand thanks to the Trident. However, amidst their fight, the ice bridge collapse beneath Orm, who grabbed on to its edge. He begged his brother for help, but Aquaman didn't oblige and Orm fell down the abyss to his death.
Background information
In the DC comics, Orm is best known as Ocean Master, one of Aquaman's archenemies. He has tried at various times to kill his half-brother and claim the throne of Atlantis for himself. Bruce Timm has stated the reason Orm never went by the name "Ocean Master" in the series, was due to opinion on the name sounding too silly for use in the show.
During Final Crisis, Orm is part of the Secret Society, serving as a member of Libra's inner circle.
