Xyrus

The Vigilant One

Relations

Xyrus was one of the gods back from Project Assiah and was more along the lines of a Constellation god (equivalent to a higher god). He eventually became a pillar god and is one of the newest additions to the eight pillars. He is considered the opposite of Khanas however they have an odd relationship as one side hates the other while the other seeks something else. It is unknown whether Xyrus is alive, in hiding, or deceased since the cosmic invasion.

## Description

Xyrus is twelve headed hydra with each head representing a different color similar to the chromatic dragons. It was said that each of these heads of the hydra would represent a different ideal of Xyrus and that these ideals were passed down to a few certain mortals known as Xyrus' archangels. The color of the heads were as follows: Red, Black, Blue, Green, White, Grey, Purple, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Platinum.

Xyrus also had a mortal form that he used to use very often especially back in Project Assiah. Those truly devoted to Xyrus would know that before he became a god he was once a mortal. The form is that off what seems to be a mix between a goliath and human race with light grey stone skin. He wore a dark blue and gold armor and beneath the armor he had these blue tattoos that represented mist while others saw it as the dragon while the red would represent the markings from his place of origin. He wore an eye patch over his left eye and had long black hair all the way down to his shoulders.

Xyrus doesn't use any avatars instead he has a special group known as his Archangels as these are twelve people that made an oath with Xyrus as he viewed them as worthy and the believed in on of his ideals. As for exactly who these archangels were and what happened to them now is uncertain.

## Personality

Xyrus was stern and very disapproving of evil, always arguing with Khanas and Asmodeus long ago about their evil acts. He accepted no excuses for evil acts, and didn't tolerate even minor offenses by evil creatures.

In spite of his stance, he was also considered one of the most compassionate beings in the multiverse. He had limitless empathy for downtrodden, the dispossessed, and the helpless. He usually preferred to polymorph those who have offended him instead of killing them, although it was also said that Xyrus loathed to sully himself with the blood of evil creatures.

By draconic standards, Xyrus was neither vain nor desirous of treasure. He valued wisdom, knoweldge, prophecies, and songs instead. He used the great wealth he ammased over the ages to help those in need, while using the magic items he had gathered to further his goals. However, he also pursued viciously (usually sending his Archanges and followers) those who tried to steal the hoard from his palace as, after all, he was a god of justice. Xyrus is also one for life lessons teaching those a life lesson this was proved by the various dragonborn within Project Assiah as well as in Dephiron for those that succumbed to greed were turned into dragonborn.

## Abilities

Xyrus has very similar powers to a forgotten and dead god from long ago as it seems as if he picked up his domain and his powers after this forgotten power disappeared from history. Xyrus disdained combat, and he peferred to talk with his opponents and convince them to surrender using his legendary diplomatic skills. Xyrus spoke many languages including Draconic, Celestial, Auran, and Common, although he has the ability to speak to any intelligent creature thanks to his telepathy ability. Despite his aversion to battle, he was easily capable of defending himself. Along with all the standard powers and godly senses of a deity of his rank, as well as the natural abilities of an ancient hydra, those who saw him fight claimed that he had 12 breath weapons.

Xyrus doesn't like creating aspects and avatars much like the other gods instead he has his group known as the Archangels very powerful mortals heavily devoted him and act as his avatars or aspects. They each represent one of Xyrus' principles or ideals and they each are considered to have a portion of Xyrus' power. These Archangels are extremely powerful and considered to have powers that transcend that of mortals. These Archangels are almost never replaced unless one of them were to die to the hands of someone else as almost all of them can live near forever.
