Orbix Xaxis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Orbix Xaxis was the Most High Guardian of Night in the Edge Chronicles. He overthrew Vox Verlix, and commanded the fortess school, the Tower of Night, on New Sanctaphrax. As a sky-scholar, he believed that the lightning bolt of a Great Storm would heal the new Sanctaphrax rock, which was crumbling from stone-sickness. When a storm did arrive, however, he was not ready. His ex-assistant, Xanth Filatine, had stolen the deadbolt that would hold the lightning conductor Midnight's Spike in place. Instead, he used himself to attract the sacred lightning bolt. The result was that the Tower of Night burst into flame, he and his Guardians were annihilated, and the rock melted.
