Artix von Krieger

"WELL FOUGHT! Now, just a few thousand undead left to go!"

- Artix von Krieger

Artix von Krieger is the mighty leader of the Paladin Order, and defender of the Light, the innocent and everything that is good.

Appearance and Personality
Artix was born in the plane of darkness as a shadowborn under the title of "Champion of Darkness", sent to destroy the world in a single wave of darkness. However, Artix refused to use his darkness powers to destroy the world because he was not up to doing anything to hurt anyone. As such, he was branded as a betrayer to the plane of darkness. When he was young, Artix saved a girl who had been caught within a river, whose name was Vayle. Since then, Artix and Vayle had become friends.

Artix, along with Vayle, was the sole survivor of a green mist that killed everyone in the village he lived in, including his parents and her brother Edgar. The mist was spread by the first army of the undead sent by the plane of darkness, which had come to retrieve Artix. Lady Celestia took Artix in and trained him as a paladin to fight the undead armies. Over the years, Artix eventually joined the paladin order and became one of King Alteon's trusted soldiers.

Since then, Artix still battles the undead today, and is now armed with a magical axe, the Blinding Light of Destiny, which utilizes the spirit orbs he freed from their undead vessels for the use of powerful magic attacks resembling light-based attacks. During his and the DragonFable heroes' raid on the Necropolis, Artix battled a giant undead abomination that, for some reason, seemed familiar in name to him - it was Edgar, who had been brought back from the dead. It turned out that Vayle, under Noxus' teachings, had been attempting to revive Edgar herself. Artix destroyed the abomination and freed Edgar's spirit, but Vayle swore vengeance, and since then, her anger towards him is still great today.
