Nerixina

Nerixina is an NPC created and portrayed by Justin Green.

**General Spoiler Warning:** This page has been updated with information as of Ep 27 - Snoodeling. Anything after that, if any, is not on this page.

## Description

Nerixina has a large cat eidolon that's the size of a panther. It's made of gears and is an extension of her own power.

## Backstory

Nerixina is a very powerful summoner who has been the headmistress of Faenalin Academy for five hundred or six hundred years.

## Current Events

Mistmourn asks Janni Squad to investigate missing Faenalin Academy students and gives them a letter to Nerixina to allow them access to the school. Zelf and Astra meet with Nerixina and tell her Archmage Wynhorn and Ansel Phirel's plan to open the ley line at the Blitz game. They give her Wynhorn's encoded letter to Ansel as proof. She agrees to help them and investigate Wynhorn.

However, Nerixina was given a “divine mission that took precedence" by “Orim” according to Castien. The note given to her was returned to Zelf with a drop of blood, so she’s maybe just dead.

## Random Facts

* Nerixina is close friends with Mistmourn and former Archmage Ventori.
* Her office is at the top of the clock tower behind the clock face, which is very cool of her.
	+ Her eidolon is made of the clock gears.
* She reads ancient magical tomes.

## Trivia

Wyn Marth

Lord Wyn Marth is an NPC created and portrayed by Justin Green.

**General Spoiler Warning:** This page has been updated with information as of Ep 41 - Janni confuses the crostinis. Anything after that, if any, is not on this page.

## Description

Wyn Marth is an extremely handsome young elf. He has a sharp jawline and a killer smile. He's a cocky bratty little showoff and a well-known womanizer. At the Marth by Marth dinner party, he's wearing a custom Mouschino suit.

As the Beast of Mealnor, he has long arms, long legs, and an extremely large mouth.

## Backstory

Wyn Marth is the son of Duke Sevel Marth and Duchess Marth. His younger sister is Lady Camilla Marth.

He has some sort of vampiric curse that turns him into a beast. Alok Vilnit says he might have no control over what he's doing in this form, but Patty is convinced that he knows what he's doing because he hates poor people.

## Current Events

The squad hears about the Beast of Mealnor roaming the streets of West Mealnor and eating poor people and/or kaelfs. The Mealnor Hunters Guild has a bulletin out for the Beast. Astra and Janni talk to Fimary Til, who was nearly eaten by the Beast before it realized she wasn't poor.

In the Marth mausoleum, Ten-Face tells the squad that Wyn revealed his form as the Beast of Mealnor and attacked Inspector Nipip at the Vilnit Candy Factory, causing Nipip to turn into Ten-Face.

At the Marth by Marth dinner party, Wyn introduces himself to Patty and they flirt via bad puns. They talk about fashion and the poor people in Mealnor. When the Duke's body is found, Wyn comforts his mother with the reminder that it's just his body.

## Random Facts

* Wyn is named after his godfather.
* The Beast usually kills one person a night. However, on the night that Gratin was killed, both his death and another's was blamed on the Beast. Zelf believes that someone else killed Gratin and used the Beast as cover.

* He has everything a modern rat woman would want.

Aredus

Aredus is an NPC created and portrayed by Justin Green.

**General Spoiler Warning:** This page has been updated with information as of Ep 36 - More than enough teeth for everyone. Anything after that, if any, is not on this page.

## Description

Aredus is a middle-aged human man who looks shockingly unremarkable. He looks like someone's dad and is a little goofy-looking. He has shoulder-length brown hair and a thick mustache. He wears inexpensive, poorly-made blue robes.

His arms are covered in many small, thin scars that have healed over, and he now has the names of the Aredus Escort Squad carved in his arm.

## Backstory

Aredus is a blood mage and was the Archmage of Errosia during the Great War. He was known for his divination and writing prophecies. He has an innate ability to cast fire spells with his left hand and ice spells with his right hand. When he casts, he levitates and his scars start leaking blood.

He predicted that he would be reincarnated 50 years after his death and Harvel Glasscannon was born on that exact day, and so people in Errosia believe Harvel to be his reincarnation.

## Historical Events

Aredus hires Merabeth Tinbarrel, Toots Capellini, Tetra, and Tommi Embereyes to bring him to Olvadell and then to break into the regent's vault. This is because he has recurring dreams about an artifact of Yris in the palace vault that will allow him to become a demigod of Yris. Once they find the god items, he is tricked into becoming Lunas' demigod by Lysanthea, turning him into Aredus the Blood God.

He manages to pull himself from the collapsing vault only to get trapped by rubble and is beheaded by Gafanrit, the demigod of Hybdall.

## Random Facts

* He is stingy with his money and doesn’t care about luxury.
* He used to be a "scroll and wand wizard" but now only uses blood.
	+ This is at least partly because material components got too expensive.
* Janni will later tell his squad that it was the gnome god's (Ternio/Gamwir) weapon that beheaded Aredus, but he’s wrong.
	+ Andrew probably just misremembered or misspoke.
* It is revealed later that Julienne Carotte fed him dream naga to induce his madness.

Elarinya

Elarinya is an NPC created and portrayed by Justin Green.

**General Spoiler Warning:** This page has been updated with information as of Ep 43 - What's your Rabual score?. Anything after that, if any, is not on this page.

## Description

Elarinya is the demigod of Vydonna, the lawful neutral god.

She is an insect-like humanoid with small translucent wings. She has bee-like characteristics like large black eyes, long antenna, yellow black patterns on her skin, and a sharp stinger.

In the Marth mausoleum, she is hidden within a dark green opaque cocoon that is 7 ft long and pulsating. The cocoon is propped up on metal supports and has heat lamps pointed at it. She is thin and severely weakened when she opens the cocoon, and the crown of Lunas is stabbed through her chest.

## Historical Events

During the Great War, Vydonna empowered Elarinya to be her demigod.

During the flashback to Olvadell, Elarinya appears with Molni, Ternio, and Gafanrit to take care of Aredus and the Doomweapon. She is given the artifact of Lunas so that she can hide it.

## Current Events

Someone, likely Duke Marth or Wyn Marth, found Elarinya's cocoon in the lower depths of Arrowpeak Dungeon while looking for the crown of Lunas. They brought the cocoon back to a secret room in the Marth mausoleum but were unable to open it.

When the squad stumbles onto the cocoon, Elarinya hears Janni/Tommi's voice and entrusts the artifact of Lunas to him before dying. She tells them that the crown of Lunas cries to be worn, and that the artifact of Vydonna is hidden in the hive.

Doomweapon

The Doomweapon is an NPC created and portrayed by Justin Green.

**General Spoiler Warning:** This page has been updated with information as of Ep 33 - Dentistry trigger warning. Anything after that, if any, is not on this page.

## Description

The Doomweapon is the demigod of Xitrix, the chaotic evil god.

It is a giant metal construct. It has been described as 60 ft tall and 300 ft tall. It is made of adamantine and has a silvery sheen. It has humanoid proportions: two arms, two legs, a torso, but the face is entirely featureless except for one large inset eye that glows neon red, and whatever it looks at is bathed in a crimson spotlight. It moves slowly but its long legs let it travel a great distance in a single step. Its foot is like a wrecking ball and creates a small shockwave when it steps. Its eye shoots a beam, a six-hundred-foot cone of fire, but takes some time to recharge.

## Historical Events

During the Great War, Xitrix empowered the Doomweapon to be his demigod.

The orcs of Ghuldror called it a weapon that couldn't be defeated, a demigod completely under their control. Because of this, Reskarus allied with Ghuldror during the Great War. They sent the Doomweapon to wage war in Errosia first and then Birwine. At some point, it destroyed the Nest in Reskarus. During the Five Claws of Dromath, the Doomweapon destroyed the city of Olvadell. In the Battle of Vedogzon, it was encased in the ice dome covering Ghuldror and has been there ever since.

## Current Events

Zelf discovers in Bovil's journal that Gyiha met with the Ministry of the Fleeting Zodiac in one of the time loops. The Ministry is secretive about their plan (or lack of plan) to get the Doomweapon out of the ice dome to destroy it.

Lutharra

Lutharra is a NPC created and portrayed by Justin Green.

## Historical Events
