== Background ==
Among
 the Marai, Doctor Xelak was a renowned expert on Magic and would 
instruct others in what he knew. Following Nami's contact with the 
surface, Xelak set out on his own expedition, seeking what the surface 
world could teach him about Magic. Unfortunately, before he reached 
Bilgewater, he was attacked by a shark, which he claims was directed by 
an Atlantean. Without aid of any kind, he died a horrible death, losing 
his entire right arm, left eye, and jaw. Fortunately for him, his 
mangled body washed up on the shores of The Shadow Isles. His soul cried
 out with the desire to live, and burned brighter than the other souls, 
attracting the attention of the denizens of the Isles. Not long 
afterwards, he was revived as one of the few undead Marai in existence. 
He implored his newfound comrades to help him find a way to repair his 
body, that he might continue studying Magic. The Shadow Isles granted 
him this odd request and sent him to Viktor, who was more than happy to 
usher a Marai into the Glorious Evolution. With his body rebuilt and his
 ability to talk restored, Xelak went to the Institute of War, 
requesting instruction in Summoning Magic. The League agreed, shocking 
many. Xelak now Summons for the Shadow Isles, and is one of the most 
outspoken promoters of the Glorious Evolution. He is currently single, likely due to his horrifying visage and immense emotional issues over his divorce. 
== Appearance ==
Xelak
 is very intimidating. Once, he was a scarlet Marai with yellow eyes. 
After his revival, the skin around his missing flesh decayed and he 
overall gained a green tint. Viktor's upgrades include a telescoping eye
 capable of firing a low power laser, a new arm with incredible strength
 and dexterity, and a faceplate that covers where his mouth once was and
 is equipped with speakers that are fully under Xelak's control. Because
 his robotic eye, his skin, and his preference in robe color are all 
red, his fellow summoners took to calling him "Red". Surprisingly, he 
adopted the nickname and has taken to signing important documents with 
it.
== Personality ==
Before his death, 
Doctor Xelak had been a kind man that often daydreamed and went 
exploring on his own. Summoner Red is fully aware of how terrifying his 
appearance is, so he has taken to using it as a tool to get what 
knowledge he can from others. He frequently goes deep into thought, 
staring in a random direction(often directly at other people). That 
said, he is hardly aloof and tries to be involved in the scientific 
community as much as possible. Those who know him personally say that he
 is quite agreeable and surprisingly pleasant to be around, provided you
 give him what he expects of you. Nothing motivates Red more than the 
promise of more knowledge, and his studies have begun to focus more on 
The Void, despite the warnings of his peers. Whenever someone or 
something attempts to hinder his studies or makes a decision he doesn't 
agree with, Red isn't afraid to outwardly express his disgust, leading 
some to call him arrogant and snobby. 
When Red joined The Glorious Evolution, Viktor gifted him an experimental Battlecast poro, which Red affectionately named Naxe. Fearing that Red would choose to summon for Zaun, The Shadow Isles gifted him an undead poro, which he named Lakor. Red treasures his poros and is sometimes seen holding them as he wanders the Institute. It came as a complete surprise to everyone when Red was coincidentally assigned his Summoner name, RednaxelaKor, "Red", "Naxe", and "Lakor" all in one name. He refuses to comment on it.
== Skills and Summoner Preferences ==
Red
 retained his ability to float, as only Marai can, and with Viktor's 
upgrades he is far from helpless in a fight. His cybernetic eye can see 
on a subatomic level, aiding him greatly in his studies. His Magical 
prowess is wild and unrefined, but as he practices he brings it under 
control more and more. Within the Institute of War, Red became 
obsessively fascinated by the champion Fiddlesticks, much to the 
confusion of his classmates. Even today, Red can often be found staring 
at the door that leads into Fiddlesticks's chamber. Nocturne too was a 
subject of frequent study, but Red has recently focused on the champions
 of the Void. Specifically, Vel'Koz, Kog'Maw, and Cho'Gath. Red fully 
supports Viktor's Battlecast program and has suggested on multiple 
occasions that the Shadow Isles work closely with Zaun as a result of 
this, wishing to harness the power of The Void without letting it erupt 
into another apocalypse.
