Artix
Paladin and Champion of Darkness
Artix is a cheerful paladin and Champion of Darkness who devotes himself to protecting others and fighting the undead. His courage and humor sit alongside deep concern for his friends, including the Hero and Gravelyn. His determination can become rivalry: when he and Galanoth argue over an undead dragon, they fail to work together and the enemy escapes with the protection they hoped to keep from her. They acknowledge the mistake and later fight as a team, with Artix stepping in to protect his friend.
