"*You ask what I’ve taken from him. . . . Perhaps you should ask him what he’s taken from me.*"
―Olphix[[The Ice Plague: Book 1 - The Forest of Fire, Chapter 19: Stronger Than Love]]
**Olphix** was a Master Mage, and created the School of the Staff alongside his twin brother, Davix. He was also the primary antagonist for *The Ice Plague*.

## Names/Titles/Aliases

* Mage Olphix
* Principal of the School of the Staff
* Co-founder of the School of the Staff
* Firebeard (*Game Theory*)

## Appearance

Ash Glashtyn said that Olphix and Davix look nearly identical. At age eight, they had curly black hair that fell to their waists. When Olphix was older, his hair reached down to his calves. His eyes are red. Since Gwyn ap Nudd is a descendant of Olphix's, and Olphix is Davix's twin, others have noted that Gwyn - were his hair dyed black - would be even more similar in appearance to the twins, though he still looks much like them.

While appearing as Davix, Olphix wore 'only one piece of jewellery – a thin silver necklace, the pendant a thin metal circle contained within a triangle. Beneath the harlequin fabric of his robe, a black shirt, black pants, and black boots. It matched his curling hair, which sheened blue in the light, but was still clearly black.'

When he appeared King Oengus Og's tower, Eran Iliakambar described him as 'tall, handsome, even as he glowed like embers. Olphix carried a black and wooden wand that he used as a mage's staff, and wore two necklaces around his neck. 'One was silver, a circle pendant with a triangle in the middle of it. The other was its twin, a silver triangle that had a circle in the middle of it. Davix used to wear the circle holding the triangle, and Olphix wore the triangle holding the circle. They were pendant representations of the other. . . . The triangle was Olphix’s flame, the circle was Davix’s ice.' His Mage's Motley was floor-length and made of 'red, yellow, and orange diamonds.

When Olphix visited Ash and the others during *The Ice Plague: Book 3 - The Ice Plague*, he no longer wore a Mages' Motley. He wore all black, and still wore the two necklaces. He donned his Motley again during the battle against Mosk and Gwyn's forces.

## Personality

Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden said that Olphix is 'a solitary Mage. Not a member of the Thirteen. He likes it when people forget he exists.' He is also rather patronizing, as exemplified when Eran tried to present his case to 'Davix' at the Seelie Court. Both brothers seem to have a sadistic streak. 'Olphix and Davix had liked to talk in nebulous circles, leaving their meanings indistinct. Davix with his alliterative riddles, and Olphix with his flatter, emptier enigmas.' Mosk also noted that while Davix has humor, Olphix is serious. Olphix also has a manipulative streak, even in regard to his brother: Davix said that Olphix would often hide himself, even from Davix.

Mosk also said that Davix and Olphix were egotistical. Davix seemed to state that he and Olphix had consciences, but enjoyed 'their art so much they decide not to care about the rest. [They] had each other, [they] were extremely conscientious to each other, considerate, cooperative, collaborative, even kind.' They thought of anyone else as ants. Davix noted that Olphix 'takes offence at the types of fae who need humans to thrive . . . He always has. Turning his face towards the future, he takes the roads we’ve run since time began. Two closed worlds. He doesn’t like the fae to seek the humans, or vice versa.’

Davix said that Olphix was greatly wounded by Davix's death. Olphix's worst memory is of Davix dying.

## Life

Olphix and Davix were born, possibly in a desert, before the time of fixed alignments, the class system as it currently exists, and the classless, and were alive during the time of the dragons. Olphix was born Unseelie, but has changed many times through his life. All fae were underfae, 'and if they live[d] longer, or work[ed] hard, or leap[t] into luck’s fair graces, they gain[ed] longevity, greater healing, greater power, greater magic.' Monarchs were largely kept alive by Mages who used alchemy to protect them, and were often killed anyway. The brothers 'wondered if our realm might be more rigorous against threats if there was a nigh invulnerable monarch on each side of the river.'

The pair have seemingly always been close. They 'married [each other] with the loving bonds of dragons, to die should the other perish.' Together, they broke the fire dragons 'down into tiny bits of a unique magic, a unique language, so that Olphix and Davix could get control over the creatures that could've taken them down', and trapped them within the Old Lore in the Bridge. They also placed a geas on Kabiri so that he couldn't tell anyone what had happened.

At some point, the twins 'crushed' the other members of their species of fae.

At some point, a member of the An Fnwy family slighted Davix, which angered Olphix so much that he forced a curse into one of their family members and married it to his own magic. The curse traveled down through the generations and ended when Crielle ferch Fnwy gave birth to Gwyn.

At some point the Mages caught the Raven Prince and tortured him for nine months, three days, and twenty-one hours. They stole his heartsong three times. The Mages only released him when he swore to become King, and to 'wait for them to come and call in their very specific debt, at a time of their choosing', which the Raven Prince later realized would be the theft of the magic of the Unseelie Court. The Raven Prince's heartsong was used 'to make the fixed classes . . . To render Kings nigh immortal, make them such arbiters of class and divide the world between underfae and all the rest. And then, to fix alignments in place, so that all fae must be born Seelie, or Unseelie, and no fae may ever change.' The classless were used as additional energy sinks, to gather power over the millennia, which the Mages could take at their leisure.

They later formed the School of the Staff, and trained many students, including the Raven Prince. Among other things, they intentionally made Mages untrusting towards other Mages, purposefully weakening them to keep them less powerful than the twins, as blending magic requires intimacy and makes a magic-user stronger. They also met the Nightingale, and trained him, and ultimately led him to the underworlds. When the Nightingale returned and wreaked havoc on the fae realm, the twins joined with many other Mages to imprison him back in the underworlds.

At some point, the twins grew bored of the alignment, status, and magic systems they'd created, and wanted to unmake it to see what would happen.

The twins wanted to know if they could create a seventh son of a seventh son themselves, rather than accidentally stumbling upon one, in order to 'augment it, tune the world towards a species and there, grant a son [they] could sunder and use.' Olphix poisoned the Aur forest, forcing the Aur dryads to seek out the aid of the School of the Staff, who sent them Olphix (though the Aur dryads did not know that Olphix had caused the disease). Olphix offered to heal the forest in exchange for the Aur dryads' then-nonexistent seventh son of a seventh son.

When Gwyn wanted to obtain a Soulbond to help protect Augus Each Uisge from assassination attempts, he had Ash seek out 'Firebeard' - a mysterious Mage - who granted the soulbond. Ash gave a life debt in exchange. Gwyn and Ash later learned that 'Firebeard' was Olphix in disguise.

When Mallem Manytrees alerted Olphix that Mosk was trying to fight his fate, Olphix destroyed the Aur forest, killed all the Aur dryads, and kidnapped Mosk. The Mages tortured Mosk for some time - though healing him so he wouldn't scar from their ministrations - and stole his magic, removed his feeding teeth, and otherwise starved him. During the torture, Mosk often had to watch the twins be intimate with each other. Ultimately, Olphix left so that Davix could take Mosk's heartsong. Mosk struck back - killing Davix - and the combination of magics created the ice plague. When Olphix returned and discovered what Mosk had done, he tried to bring Davix back, failed, and tortured Mosk, then cursed Mosk with a geas that forced him to see others' worst memories when asked about what the twins did. Olphix then cast him out.

When Eran brought Mosk to the Seelie Court for justice for starting the ice plague, Eran believed he met with Davix, but it was actually Olphix in disguise. Eran, Mosk, and their companions later learned the truth, when Mosk revealed that he'd killed Davix. During the meeting at the Seelie Court, Olphix focused a bit on Eran's existence as a hybrid, mentioned that the Aur forest was destroyed, and suggested that Eran try to tell his story to Gwyn instead. Olphix quickly grew tired of their conversation, and teleported Eran and Mosk halfway to the Unseelie Court.

Olphix cast spells over the fae realm - cutting off communication and travel, primarily innate teleportation, which only allowed strong mages who could create portals to travel by magic across the fae realm. Taronis noted that Olphix is the only Mage who can still make portals to the human realm.

Mosk ultimately broke Olphix's geas by using it against the Miskatin.

When Oengus attempted to break through Olphix's spells to contact the Unseelie Court, Olphix came after Mosk in Oengus' tower; in part, to deal with Oengus, as well as to drain Mosk of whatever magic he had left that the twins hadn't already taken. Olphix parleyed with Oengus and Gwyn, taunting them both, and tortured Mosk, until Oengus made Olphix stop and banished him from the tower. When Mosk finally talked with Eran about what the Mages had done, they theorized that Davix's spirit was trapped in the ice, which was why the ice plague was targeting fire fae - it was seeking out Olphix.

After the ice plague came to Oengus' tower, the Olphix used his power of consumption to take the powers of the classless: entirely, if they were born after a certain point, and only in part, if they were born before the spell was originally cast.

The Raven Prince pointed out while discussing his past with the twins that if Davix was a ghost, then Olphix can and will resurrect him, should Olphix learn of Davix's current fate.

Eventually, Olphix destroyed the Seelie Court and stole the power within it for himself, then disappeared.

Olphix visited Ash, Gwyn, Augus, Mosk, Eran, and Julvia Dubna Vajat in order to reclaim his life debt from Ash. Olphix bewitched everyone but Ash to be asleep, though Mosk resisted the spell and woke up after sensing Olphix's arrival. Olphix demanded: 'At a certain point in the future, Augus Each Uisge, your brother and the waterhorse beside you, will seek to stop Gwyn ap Nudd, the King of the Unseelie Court, from taking his light back. When that happens, you are to let him stop Gwyn from retrieving that light. You cannot tell anyone else of this until the debt has been paid.' Ash stated that he was unable, since doing so would negate his life debt with someone else (though he didn't name the Raven Prince). When Olphix reached for the pendant that the Raven Prince had given Augus, Mosk protected both Augus' pendant and Mosk's pendant from the Raven Prince from him. Olphix and Mosk argued, and Olphix attacked Mosk. Mosk defended himself, and lashed back at Olphix, which showed Mosk a great deal of Olphix's memories. Olphix eventually withdrew and disappeared.

Estori noted that Olphix was 'active beyond Arkhel'. The fae in Arkhel told Gwyn that Olphix kept returning to a section of land nearby that had 'a feeling or energy that repels all.' Gwyn thought Olphix was testing Gwyn's light there.

After Mosk brought Davix out of the icy realm after Dharva-in-the-Forest, Davix noted, 'My gift is staying open to the pathways, and Olphix’s is closing them. Where he acts, I listen. When he acts, I am the one who reminds him to pay attention.’ When Mosk questioned Davix about why Olphix was stopping teleportation, Davix explained, ‘He’s harder to find now . . . No one can teleport to him. It’s protective. Only Mages can find him with ease, and many will not make that move. But even better, fae cannot escape to the human realm and look for heroes there, they cannot shelter out the storm in a realm that is not theirs, as has happened in the past. For fae are wily and wicked, and the human realm is a haven for those who know how to use it and even those who know it not.' Mosk realized Olphix had set a trap.

When Mosk asked if Olphix was going to kill everyone, Davix replied, ‘Maybe he’ll unite us all in death before you get a chance to, Mosk Manytrees . . . Wouldn’t that be lovely? I look forward to it. Maybe my soul is loudly luring him. May it yell louder, and louder, until lo, he comes. For I miss him so.’

As Gwyn's party neared Olphix again, they began to experience earthquakes, which Olphix seemed to be causing. Mosk said that Olphix was trying 'to remove all the rules that he and Davix imposed on the world together'. Gwyn wondered if Olphix 'if Olphix wants the theatricality of war.’

When Mosk brought Davix out before Gwyn and Augus, Davix revealed that Olphix could not properly control Gwyn's light. Gwyn noted, ‘He doesn’t need to be able to control it, does he? . . . I imagine he thinks it’s a kind of poetic end, to finish the world with something he stole from the King, something he stole from a family member, to avenge the loss of his brother. He won’t survive it. If he’s never used it before, it will eat him before it destroys the world.’ Augus noted that Olphix would likely do whatever it took to bring Davix back, to which Gwyn noted, 'Olphix will be stupid in his grief. Dangerous, and unpredictable, but stupid', which might mean he'll use Gwyn's light to destroy the world. Gwyn also noted that Olphix wanted to make the final battle a grand confrontation.

When Mosk spoke with Davix in Zhitovar, Davix noted that Olphix always said that the Falseheart Wilds 'would be an apt place to end the world.’

When the Nain Rouge met again with Gwyn's group in Zhitovar, she noted that part of the reason she'd taken so long to get back to them was because Olphix didn't want her anywhere near him. The Nain Rouge revealed she'd made a blood-oath with Gwyn to use her ability to take back Gwyn's light and give it to Gwyn. Gwyn later noted Olphix was using Gwyn's light.

Olphix was encamped in the Falseheart Wilds in a dead wasteland caused by Olphix's use of Gwyn's light. After he emerged from his tent, he created 50 illusions of himself and disappeared. He killed much of Gwyn's forces using various forms of magic, and set off a bomb to kill more, though Mosk blocked some of it with his own magic. As the battle raged, Ash used his dra'ocht to try to 'keep Olphix feeling overwhelmed, overloaded.' When the Nain Rouge went after Olphix, Olphix began attacking with Gwyn's light. The Nain Rouge fought through Olphix's defenses, stealing *his* stolen powers and taking Gwyn's light back.

Olphix finally caught Mosk and tried to burn him to death and attack his magic and heartsong. When Mosk made Davix opaque, Olphix was shocked, but thought Davix was an illusion, and ignored Davix's pleas that he was real. Olphix successfully stole Mosk's heartsong. When Mosk gave Davix more magic, Davix was able to convince Olphix he was real, distracting Olphix and allowing Mosk to sever Olphix's heartsong. Mosk then took Olphix's magic, and promised to reunite Olphix with Davix in the end. Olphix turned to Davix and said, ‘I have only ever wanted you.’ Mosk also snapped apart 'the curse that kept fae from teleporting to the human realm'. The brothers embraced and spoke to each other, and then 'Davix winked out of existence, and Olphix fell dead'. Mosk and Julvia used the magic they took from Olphix and Davix, along with their own, to create a new Aur forest in the Falseheart Wilds. Mosk noted that he may have used up Olphix's heartsong to make the Aur forest, as well.

## Special Abilities

**Soul Magic:** Davix and Olphix combined their powers to amplify them, on top of already being stronger by dint of 'their familial bond, and twins on top of that', and stealing magic from the Raven Prince and Mosk, as well as stealing heartsongs from the Raven Prince, an unknown fae, and Mosk. Ash said that Olphix's main element is fire. The Nain Rouge pointed out that the fire dragons had time magic, which Olphix and Davix stole, so it's possible that Olphix and Davix also have some form of time magic, as well. Gwyn noted that Olphix can place geas on the entire realm, as was the case with the dragons. Oengus stated that Olphix and Davix are stronger than the Thirteen and the School of the Staff. They are the only known fae who can remove heartsongs.

The Raven Prince noted that without Davix, Olphix is likely not strong enough to complete their goal of resetting their magic, and Olphix may have even failed in the attempt already.

Although Davix and Olphix could blend magic with each other, the Raven Prince noted that Olphix would only do it with Davix, and could no longer do it after Davix's death.

Mosk noted that Olphix's magic was too much for one person to have and stay sane.

**Elemental Magic:** Olphix specialized in fire magic. Its at least occasional weakness seemed to be the dark.

**Journey-making:** Olphix could create portals and teleport others using magic.

**Illusion:** It's unclear what this was, either innate or magic, but Olphix in particular had an ability to avoid detection, even from Davix and Fenwrel. Fenwrel noted he couldn't be tracked with magic. He could also astral project a shade of himself to other locations. He could also create illusion copies of himself, and turn invisible.

**Immortality:** Fenwrel noted that it's rumored that Olphix and Davix were closer 'to immortality than even some gods are rumoured to be.' The Raven Prince stated that Olphix could bring Davix back from the dead, although Olphix already failed once, which Davix confirmed. Davix stated that ghosts were Olphix's area of study.

**Consumption:** Olphix had the gift of consumption - he couldsteal the magic of others.

**Quelling/Suppression:** Davix noted that he and Olphix could 'both quell anything that vexes [them], especially thaumaturgy.’

**Language:** Olphix and Davix made their own language that was unique to them. Gwyn stated that Olphix could take language.

**Light:** Olphix had Gwyn's light abilities until the Nain Rouge stole them back and returned them to Gwyn, and seemingly tested them to make at least one wasteland, but Davix stated that he couldn't actually use the ability properly.

**Motley:** Olphix had spells woven into his motley to 'dissolve any projectiles that head towards him', which cannot be undone. It was made to combat dragon magic.

**Miscellaneous:** The Nain Rouge noted, ‘He can stop bullets, but he doesn’t like ‘em.'

**Assorted abilities:** Among the abilities Olphix stole from the classless fae, he had and could use Gwyn's light.

## Relationships

### Davix

Olphix and Davix were filisexual, never having taken any other lovers. Outside of amplifying and increasing their powers, Davix seemed to care for nothing other than Olphix, even in death. Olphix was also manipulative of Davix's affection, often hiding from his brother, to 'hone' Davix's ability to find Olphix. In the end, Olphix wanted to die out of sorrow for Davix.

### Gwyn ap Nudd

Olphix said that Gwyn is 'far stupider than Albion'. Gwyn hates Olphix because of how many people will have to die because of him, and will be happy to kill him.

### Mosk Manytrees

After Olphix tortured and nearly killed Mosk, Mosk became terrified of him. Mosk hates him, and fought to kill him. Olphix hates Mosk for murdering Davix.

### The Raven Prince

The Raven Prince fears both Olphix and Davix: that they could return and demand their life debt from him, and that they could use him to destroy the Unseelie Court and the world.

### The Nightingale

Davix and Olphix consider the Nightingale their almost son. The Raven Prince calls the Nightingale their protege. Davix and Olphix also give the Nightingale what he needs to enter the underworlds.

### King Oengus Og

Oengus once tutored Olphix and Davix in 'the arts of song and charm and wordplay'. At one point, Oengus called Olphix and Davix his friends. Olphix saw Oengus as a weakling trapped in his memories.

### The Oak King

Quercus becomes indebted to Olphix and Davix before taking the throne, and knows that the debt would be used to steal the power of the Seelie Court, so Quercus machinates his way out of being King before they can collect.

## Quotations

* (Olphix in disguise): 'Eran Iliakambar,’ Davix said, turning his chilled gaze back to Eran, ‘you are not only ambaros, are you? But afrit too. True hybrids are incredibly rare. What conflict you must feel, caught between Unseelie and Seelie.'
* Davix: 'You’re so strong. There’s one person in the world stronger than I am, and it’s you.'
* To Davix: 'Don’t be so possessive, heart of mine'
* 'The first were ours, the last was mine, and this one is yours'
* 'Not even a proper death . . . You’ve set his magic loose.
* 'You as good as invited me. You drew me here, how devilish of you . . . Your magic is a song heard the world around, of course I came to pay audience to it.'
* Davix: 'My great destroyer, oh. My wonder of wonders. My wise, wonderful ward and both of us, wedded together.'
* Davix: 'He is the death and the shadow that blinds, he is the fire and the sun infusing the world. He is mine and I am his.'
* The Raven Prince: 'They are not just powerful Mages, Mosk, they are two of the most intelligent people to have ever lived. The things they dared with magic were not dared out of stupidity. They are wild, unchecked geniuses, and together – or apart – they will run circles around the both of us.'
* The Raven Prince: “Do you understand what Olphix could do? Could do right now if he so chose?’ the Raven Prince said. ‘He is a fae affected by grief, for he only ever loved one other, who you killed. Olphix and Davix were strong enough to destroy the world together, but they chose not to. Instead, they made a school. They cursed the land, yes, but never to destroy it. They educated. They shared what they stole with all of us, whether we wanted it or not. Olphix alone will gather power to himself like a tornado that picks up projectiles, he will take us all down with him.'
* Augus: 'There is no way Gwyn can get his light back, and no way he can leave it with Olphix.'
* Mosk on the Seelie Court: 'as the Raven Prince and Davix said, it was never really…supposed to be what it is in the first place. What Olphix did, it’s the end of all we’ve known, the end of an era, but it was never meant to be permanent. It wasn’t the way it always used to be.'
* To Eran: ‘There are *many* reasons to hate Olphix,’ Gwyn said, smiling.

## Trivia

* Davix and Olphix expected the An Fnwy curse to cause Crielle to be Unseelie, and were surprised when it turned out to be Gwyn. Davix on the An Fnwy curse: 'All that time ago, I told Olphix that if he crafted a curse that crushing, it might turn on itself and come back to chafe at him. And I was slighted, yes, but I didn’t demand a spell that strong. Olphix wanted to see if he could, and so he did. It’s how he is.'
* Olphix and Davix stole a heartsong from another seventh son of a seventh son who was not Mosk or the Raven Prince and died in the process, and seemingly attempted to do the same to a number of other fae, whom they likely killed instead. Olphix said of the heartsong theft: 'The first were ours, the last was mine, and this one is yours'. Since the twins stole the Raven Prince's heartsong three times, but only stole one heartsong from the fae who died, it seems that they stole his heartsong *after* they stole from the Raven Prince.
* The Nain Rouge noted that before Davix and Olphix, the class system was different, and largely based on age or earning favor, not fixed, as it was after Olphix and Davix changed it. She also noted that with Davix dead, the system can't be changed back.
* Davix stated that 'Davix' and 'Olphix' are the names the twins gave themselves.
* Davix implied that the Mage's Motley, something only Mages are allowed to wear, which they must make themselves, is actually clothing that his species wore (whichever now-extinct species of fae Davix and Olphix are a part of).
