Axrotalus the Wise

Axrotalus is the oldest surviving ancient. He is a first generation immortal. He is blind in his left eye and cannot see well in his right, but he is very, very attuned to things of spiritual nature and spends most of his time meditating alone in silence. Axrotalus was exiled during the reign of Hexx, and survived many years on his own as a wandering old beggar. He is responsible for alerting Heidl of the coming danger of Hexx and how to defeat her.

He was seated on the council during the second age, before the Dokkalfar moved from their original homeland. He is sought rarely for council on minor matters but considers everything very carefully and has the reputation of being a fair and honest judge.

He has been sitting for so long that his skin has turned to bark, and he now appears as an old tree within the Council of Ancients in Unterheim. His intense concentration is actually the source of the barrier that keeps Sal'aum contained.

He speaks to Els right before he dies to serve her a warning, and then passes some of his essence on to her.
