Ix (Rise of Legends)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ix is a fictional character in the 2006 real-time strategy computer game Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends. He is only seen briefly during a cut-scene in the single-player campaign. However, he's one of the Cuotl heroes in skirmish/multiplayer games.
[edit] Background
Not much is known about Ix, except that he holds the post of the Cuotl "God" of the Moon and makes the city-state of Hana Sanctuary his domain. Appearance-wise, he resembles a large humanoid jackal. He attempted to kill Giacomo in a one-on-one fight, but was subsequently destroyed when Carlini tossed a grenade into the opening where his left arm was before Giacomo blew it off his body. Giacomo later used parts taken from Ix's body and from his own Walker to construct a new one to bring into battle.
The fact that the grenade was able to enter Ix's body via the opening might suggest that the Cuotl "Gods" might be alien constructs governed by artificial intelligence. But whether or not this is true remains disputed.
[edit] Trivia
- Ix is named after Ix Chel, the Mayan moon goddess.
