Xanathos the Dreadful – Irinax’s General

One of the first Drow whom Irinax spoke to centuries ago. Xanathos has held unwavering loyalty for his patron since his dark whispers echoed through his mind. In turn, his loyalty has been rewarded, given a place as a general among their army, tasked with the ultimate eradication or forced conversion of their Glanbelite kin. Xanathos has struggled to achieve his goal, for their tenacity, but has sown seeds that will wither their resolve from within.

Xanathos was a young boy when he first heard the whispers in the dark. A guiding voice drawing him into the blackest depths of Lo Fuin’s labyrinthine underground. It was there that the boy was chosen. Him, and a dozen others. Irinax was its name. It lived in each of their minds, and bound them together in a drive to honour his will. They first organised in a clandestine cult, which only grew overtime as the voice’s promises grew greater, imbuing them with more and more power as they in turn brought more worshippers and sacrifices to its shrines.

Years later, Xanathos has emerged as one of the highest generals of Irinax, and is one of the few survivors who heard Irinax’s whispers when it all began. His task has always remained the same: convert or eradicate all the Glanbelite Drow, so that they might know Irinax’s embrace. Whilst he has struggled with this over the years, he now believes he has finally sown the seeds to see Glanbelite society crumble from within. Once the foundations begin to crack, he will deliver the coup de grace.
