Shadax the Wizard is the protagonist of the 1990 video game .
==Biography==
The day before a winter solstice, Morbius kidnaps Princess Eleanor of Arcadia, with the hopes of sacrificing her in a ritual and becoming the Evil Baron of Darkness. However, Shadax had witnessed the kidnapping, before he immediately set out towards Morbius' stronghold, Fort Kâstleröck.
Shadax's goal has now become to rescue Princess Eleanor from Morbius' captivity before she is sacrificed. However, since Shadax found no obvious entrance to the fortress, he studied Kâstleröck in Arcadia's library, whereupon Shadax found out about a hidden entrance that lead into Kâstleröck, as well as the whereabouts of the Staff of Demnos.
Shadax discovered that the Staff of Demnos was an ancient weapon with sufficient power to destroy Morbius, and that it was hidden in Kâstleröck, since that was the one location where Morbius would least expect to find it.
Morbius knew of this, and so had his spies search for the Staff of Demnos. However, they did not find it, as it had been split into six pieces. The pieces became invisible as a result of this. However, every one hundred years, on the winter solstice, the six pieces would become visible.
Knowing of a way in, Shadax enters Kâstleröck to find the pieces and rebuild the Staff of Demnos. In doing so, he would outsmart and defeat Morbius' dark minions, and finally rescue Princess Eleanor. Once the Staff of Demnos had been rebuilt, Shadax sought out and freed Eleanor from captivity, eliminating Morbius with the Staff of Demnos in the process.
In the game's sequel, , Shadax's young son Glendaal must rescue him from the Ice Palace on Death Island after Shadax had been imprisoned by his apprentice and sorceress, Sonia, who had betrayed and kidnapped him. Sonia's army of monstrous and demonic followers had been ordered to invade the world's seven kingdoms, and Glendaal is the only person with sufficient magical powers that make him capable of destroying Sonia.
Eventually, Glendaal journeys through the Ice Fort, manages to defeat Sonia, and finds his father clinging to life in a prison chamber. Shadax eventually awakens and reognises his son, before thanking him for rescuing him.
==Quotes==
Glendaal: Father... It is me Glendaal. Father... Wake up. You are safe now. Sonia is no more. I have come to take you back home. Our people need you.
Shadax: Uh... Uuuuh... Glen... It is really you... I have been imprisoned here for so long that I barely recognise my own son. But, you have changed so. I thank you, my son, for undertaking such a dangerous quest on behalf of your foolish old father. I was tricked by Sonia. I did not detect her evil intentions. I am an old man and my powers are beginning to wane. When I saw you last, you were just a child. Now, you have truly proven yourself. You are now a man. And more than that... you are a great warrior, and a wizard with powers that surpass even my own. You are now a worthy heir to the ancient name of Shadax. Thank you. You have made me a proud man. I think I still have enough power to take us both home.
