Inxialot Nagaar

**Inxialot Nagaar** is the King of the Liches and the Undead representative on the Garlen Awakened Council. He was around back when Valeron was establishing the Griffon Kingdom, though as Liches go mistakes the centuries for merely days.

## Appearance

### Lich Form

Inxialot looks like a sloppily mummified corpse, lacking muscles and tissues. He wears a tattered red silk robe with gold embroideries and holes patched by thick cobwebs, wields a staff, and wears many rings. He only keeps enough flesh on his face to show his emotions and avoid being mistaken for a skeleton.

### Living Form

Inxialot's living form looks like a handsome man in his 50's, about 1.78 meters (5'10") tall, with greying brown hair streaked blue, red, and black all over. The many holes in his tunic show more of his physique than most would like.

## Personality

Like most liches, Inxialot is impatient and extremely fickle, demonstrating signs of madness. He appears often bored due to Council duties and extremely keen to work in his lab, as well as seek knowledge.

## Abilities

An Awakened and powerful Undead, Inxialot is capable of Blinking himself and others distances that only a Warp can cover, even when the area is warded against dimensional magic.

## Background

Inxialot reached Violet Core at the age of 180 when he was still human. His mother Aylen Nagaar gifted him Nero the cat in the hope that the Emperor Beast in disguise would help the King of Liches retain at least a shred of common sense and to keep an eye on him. Yet like all of her children, the obsession for research and the genius that Inxialot inherited from her had only made it easier for him to isolate himself from the rest of the world.

Liches don't actually have a king; Inxialot merely gained the title as a consolation prize as he got the short end of the stick when they picked a representative for the Council. When Scarlett calls a meeting with the Awakened Council, asking for assistance in hunting down the Master, who is consuming huge amounts of world energy and kidnapping countless creatures on the verge of Awakening, Inxialot and the other members express indifference, saying that interference is useless as another will always rise up. They will only intervene if too much damage has been caused.

Lith approaches with the Dawn Court with Kalla's runes of introduction, which acts as a liaison between him and the Night Court. He asks after Manohar's whereabouts and the culprit responsible for the made mages during the events in Othre. Inxialot is summoned to as a neutral spectator on behalf of the Council to make sure the secret of Awakening, in the form of Lith, is protected from his fellow undead.

Inxialot declares a Foul Moon trial to settle the matters between Lith and Count Xolver, but Xolver cowardly deflects to Inxialot's disgust, instead forcing Lith to fight a vampire named Zarran. Lith finishes the fight in less than a minute, and Inxialot gives Xolver an excruciating death by black flames. He forces Kaelan to reveal Manohar's location, when Manohar conjures a massive hologram of himself in the sky above his location. After Kaelan reveals the culprit as Thrud Griffon, Inxialot Blinks everyone away.

After Dawn's defeat, Dusk learns of Lith from Inxialot and laments the Horsemen's fall from the limelight. Inxialot ignores his liege's rants and leaves.

Inxialot is also present at Lith's Awakened Council trial, and expresses the undead's (not his) intent to ban Lith from the Council. After Lotho draws Leegaain's ire against the entire Council for threatening Xenagrosh, Inxialot makes an oath not to harm her until their next meeting. After Lith's duel with Antor the Meneos, Inxialot becomes fascinated by the Gravity Ring Lith had received in Kulah, vowing to obtain it after 200 years before leaving abruptly.

Lith's world tribulation in the Lost City of Kolga leads the Awakened community to consider Leegaain his father. When Leegaain summons the Council and the Guardians to bear witness to a blood test, it unexpectedly identifies him and Salaark as Lith's kin. Inxialot and Feela profit massively, having been the only ones to bet on such a combination. Inxialot later makes fun of Raagu for having failed to bring Lith to the human side at the formal Council meeting, though in reality had been trying to flirt with her instead.

Inxialot designs a replica of the ancient Awakened city of Urgamakka for the Council apprentice test. The Lich King and his new apprentice Zolgrish oversee the test from the control room. They accidentally release the Gargoyles with the intent to wipe out the apprentices, though Ratpack manages to lower the output after a call from Council representative Raagu Drerian. The two Liches attempt to feast on a hearty meal but had forgotten how to eat, leaving Ratpack to clean up their bodily messes.

Inxialot contacts the Council again when Lith begins training his Voidfeather Dragon and Abomination forms. As the apprentices continue exploring, it is revealed that Inxialot grew tired of his job and quit halfway through while constructing the test. When the Hordes are unleashed as the final test, Inxialot focuses on recording them, revealing that the only reason he accepted the Council's decision to administer the test was to study the Horde which are rumored to possess the secret of the white core. The Liches ignore the warnings of Vareen the Plaguespreader breaching the city's defenses, putting the apprentices' lives at risk.

After Vareen overwhelms the Hordes, Inxialot Warps Zolgrish in to buy time, though Zolgrish leaves his phylactery behind as a failsafe. Zolgrish introduces himself as Inxialot to the Eldritch in revenge, and is quickly eliminated. Zolgrish demands compensation. Inxialot Warps Lith's group to safety and ambushes Vareen, when his mother and master Aylen Nagaar intervenes. Aylen's Mirror Magic and Silverwing's spells are able to overwhelm the Eldritch's regeneration, killing him. Afterwards, Aylen publicly berates Inxialot for endangering the apprentices and for the fact that the fake city resembles her secret lab.

The representatives discuss the results of the test, finding the apprentices' performance lacking as well as the direction of their masters' teachings. They proceed with Faluel's proposal to found an Awakened academy and prepare bootcamps for the survivors. The Council sentences the Tree to death, it already having chosen its successor.
