Vexor (MLIV)

Vexor (Last name unknown) was a Main Character, as well as an Antagonist in "Miracula Luxia IV".
He is a shady necromancer who originates from a far away land, seeking vengeance on humanity for the suffering that he had to endure in the past.
Seeing that other villains are attempting to find Mordred Darkthrop's resting place and bring him back to life, he realizes that there is some kind of potential in their plan. Thinking that he could use his revival as some kind of personal benefit and allow himself to reach heights in villainy that were never reached by mere mortals before, he joins forces with Darkthrop's former servants and the outlaws who came to help them out, forming the notoriously evil organization known as the "Darkthrop's Legacy". Together, they attempt to overthrow the law and find a way to resurrect the evil wizard before the legendary heroes arrive and finish him off for good, embarking on a perilous journey toward the fallen empire's capital and the place where Darkthrop was laid to rest.
He serves as the Primary Antagonist of Chapter I's only Extra Part, as well as a recurring antagonist afterwards and a Main Antagonist in Chapter IV- his last appearance in the Story.
== Overview ==
A horrendously wicked and cruel servant of evil who has been loyal to the darkness for as long as he could remember himself.
Learning his very first spells at a very young age, he was deemed a genius by many of his people. Among his peers, he was one of the most talented individuals, with an innate talent in more... sinister arts, forbidden by the known law. Being fascinated by topics related to them, he was shunned by many of his fellow students, being rather unpopular among them. For all the time when he stayed at his school, he has always felt angry and neglected, unable to see the true reason why people despise him so much. And yet, he continued to perform those dark arts in secret... until an exceptionally traumatic event changed his life for the worst.
Having lost both of his parents due a magical incident about a decade ago, Vexor realized that it was humans who caused their deaths, developing a strong hatred toward them. Meeting up with the people responsible for the failed experiment, he pretended to feel sad about what happened to his parents and sympathized with them when they said that they had no choice but to leave them behind. However, as they turned away to perform more experiments, the young evildoer used the black magic that he learned to trap and suffocate them to death, succesfully preventing them from alerting the authorities and turning their bodies into ashes, fleeing the scene not long after. When people found out about what happened in the laboratory, they assumed that the researchers were killed in some kind of life-threatening accident and were disintegrated as a result, unaware of the true nature of it. The law made no attempts to discover the origin of this mystery and the case was closed a few days later. The so-called "incident" became a worldwide phenomenon and an unsolved mystery, leaving many to wonder if it was truly a simple mishap.
Vexor realized that he was now alone in this world. With the only people who loved him dead, everyone would deem him a dangerous person who is a threat to modern society. Deciding that it's best to flee before anything happens to him, Vexor packs his things and leaves the school, becoming an outcast.
Haunted by the final screams of the researchers whom he killed years ago, he wanders the wastelands all by himself, despising humanity itself and waiting for the right time to strike again and prove his worth to the darkness. He has stayed away from major cities, travelling at night among lonely little towns and stealing their precious magical secrets.
On one trip, he secretly visits the city of Hamburg- home to Mordred Darkthrop. Discovering an old book in his tower, he learns of the evil wizard's influence among the living, even centuries after his demise. Hearing that Darkthrop has been reborn and has settled in the city of Underfall- the capital of his evil empire- Vexor rushes to help him out, but is not fast enough and Darkthrop is defeated before he could even get close.
And yet, this did not stop him from trying to meet his idol. Using his innate knowledge in necromancery (which he perfected shortly after exiling himself), he creates a small army of undead and successfully destroys a few small towns nearby, despite the best efforts of their warriors to prevent them from doing so. Extracting valuable information from the mages whom his "people" killed, Vexor soon learns that a large force of Darkthrop outcasts and other villains is attempting to retake te city, preparing to launch a massive assault that will, hopefully, finish off those who attempt to prevent Darkthrop's reawakening.
Finding the servants of evil, he makes an offer which villains of them are unable to refuse- to use his undead army in the assault and assist them in retaking the evil city- allying himself with them not long afterwards.
Now, as the leader of one of the most wicked and notorious villain organizations in the known world, he plans to use his magic to revive the one whom he deems his mentor and master. And nothing will ever stop him, not even the most powerful and righteous heroes.
== Personality ==
Vexor is cruel, wicked and selfish. Although he pretends to care about those who are under his command, the truth is that he simply cares about his own well-being, using the situation at hand as some kind of a benefit for himself and knowing that he will be rewarded for his services to villainy.
In addition, he is very mysterious and often prefers to talk with his fists rather than his mouth. He refuses to open up about his past, leaving many people to wonder why he became this way.
Despite his insulting attitude, he is also intelligent, using his undead in a way that would overwhelm a normal human army and showing how much of a strategist he really is. However, he is also very cautious, knowing that a single wrong move might bring the end of all of his servants (and, by extension, himself), thus carefully analyzing the weaknesses of his opponents before making his move.
And yet, a small part of him is... different, so to say. Although he has the potential and skill to be a cruel dictator, he is not a completely heartless monster, unlike many antagonists in the "Miracula Luxia" series overall. A good example is when he stays with Xander- his right-hand man- during the latter's final moments. After watching him die, he prevents his reanimation instead of letting him reanimate like everyone else, showing that he does care about his underlings and that, despite his shady attitude, he still has some sympathy left in his soul. For the right people, that is.
== Death ==
=== Killed By ===
* Himself (Indirectly Caused)
By revealing that he is responsible for Alcander's demise, Vexor unknowingly caused his own demise at the hands of his younger brother- Adam- minutes later.
* Alcander Kaos (Caused)
Although Vexor liked to believe that he emerged from the battle with Alcander unharmed, he did not.
In reality, Alcander managed to cast a powerful weakening spell on his body shortly before he threw him off. That, combined with the increasing exhaustion from the battle that happened weeks ago, played a major role in the necromancer's eventual downfall.
* Adam Kaos
Adam decides to take on Vexor all by himself, not wanting to endanger any of the people who are standing alongside him and thinking that he is the only one who is responsible for the necromancer's rise and the world's downfall.
On many occasions, Vexor manages to overpower his opponent, often using trickery or cowardice to escape from his vengeful grasp. But he never counted on Adam's battle-hardened attitude, being often thrown off-guard by his valor and determination, even when faced with an existential threat like him.
But the primary catalyst that leads toward the necromancer's well-deserved demise is the accidental revelation of Alcander's death.
Realizing that Vexor is responsible for the death of his dear brother causes Adam to go into a blind rage, ignoring Akira's pleas to calm down and going against his own instincts, just to avenge Alcander. 
While Vexor tries to run away, he trips, causing Adam to approach him vengefully. The young hero tries to burn the necromancer's entire body with intense fire magic, but soon realizes that it won't be a punishment that is good enough for him. Thus, while Vexor stands helplessly, he uses his incredible expertise in light magic to crystalize a large part of his body, effectively immobilizing him in the process.
Although the crystalization is not enough to end his life, Adam soon infuses all of his hatred for Vexor into his weapon, causing him to go on a blind rampage again. Without thinking twice, he shatters the crystal formation that was once Vexor, tearing it into hundreds of pieces and ending the notoriously evil man's life on the spot.
Adam continued to break his remains into even smaller pieces, but the deed is already done. Vexor perished immediately after the first blow and, thanks to Adam's actions, he shall never return again, as an undead or otherwise.

== Trivia ==
* This character's original name is Balinor.
** His intended character description was meant to be- "A creature of pure evil who has dwelled in the dark for too long. His mind warped by the mistakes that he made when he was young, he allowed the hatred in his pitch black heart to consume his sense of judgement and what humanity he still had left, becoming the shell of a once powerful and feared spellcaster whose name is only spoken in whispers. Fueled solely by his desire for revenge, he allied himself with the evil sorcerer Mordred Darkthrop and revived him, helping him conquer the world not long afterwards.".
* Vexor's name is an inflection of the Latin word "vēxō"
** "Vēxō" has a few verbal meanings worth mentioning. One of them is "shake or jolt violently". The second one is "harass" and "annoy", while the third one is "vex"/ "trouble".
** "Vēxō" is traslated in different ways, depending on the language of choice. Its most notable appearances are in the English ("vex"), Spanish ("vejar"), French ("vexer"), Italian ("vessare"), Catalan ("vexar"), Portuguese (Same as Catalan) and Romanian ("vexa") languages.
* Vexor has dichromatic eyes, one of them being dark blue and the other- dark purple. This implies that he was possibly meant to be an angel of some sort, though he left his past behind and became a warrior of the dark instead.
** This possibly explains his second nickname ("The Fallen Angel") as well.
* Vexor is the first Major Antagonist to die in "Miracula Luxia IV", as well as the last Antagonist to die in Chapter IV.
*Although he appears for the first time only in an Extra Part and that he does not play a major role in the plot of the Story most of the time, he is considered one of the most emblematic and notorious villains in "Miracula Luxia IV" and, by extension, one of the most notable villains in the "Miracula Luxia" universe overall.
* Vexor's favorite element is Dark, although he does not hesitate to use magic which belongs to a different element (Aside from Light, which he deeply despises).
* During his time as a necromancer and rising villain, Vexor has slain many humans- both soldiers and simple innocents alike.
