Aerbax has been a character in Asheron's Call since The Rise of the New Singularity, the 2nd story arc. It started out as one of the rogue Virindi that had gained individuality. [1] After splitting from the Directive and gradually began to realizing its own independence, it was one of the more important members of the New Directive [2], and responsible for many experiments on Derethian creatures.[3][4] [5]


Early Experimentations

In its earlier days Aerbax was responsible for the Virindi augmentation of many creatures and the creation of new servant beings. Most notable of its creations were the Dolls and Marionettes [Citation Needed] and the experiments on the Tumerok, resulting in the Hea Tumerok[4] [5].

Aerbax was also the creator Oolutanga[4], the augmented Tusker, and Martine[6][7][8] [4][9]. Both experiments escaped and became major characters in Dereth. He might also be responsible for the alteration of Harker[10], one of the first Simulacrum experiments.

Experiments on Caul

Its research culminated in the discovery of a Kemeroi, one of the great evil beings hidden deep within the world, which further twisted it towards Shadow and destruction.[3]

When the New Singularity was defeated Aerbax found a way to rejoin the Quiddity without losing its individuality.[4] In this role, it was responsible for the shaping of Caul,though it was still secretly persecuting its own goals, amongst it the defeat of the "Light Child", i.e. Asheron. [4][5]

At some point later, Aerbax discovered an “Energy Source” which it used to augment creatures and Virindi to new strengths, such as the Virindi Profatrix.[4] [5] Aerbax had a companion at the Energy Source which it called its Mirror.[4] It was later revealed that Aerbax’s Mirror was Ler Rhan, and the Energy Source was a Kemeroi. For some time Aerbax and Ler Rhan were rather inactive, with their only major activities on Dereth being the creation of the creatures which now populate the Valley of Death and the alteration of the once Virindi stronghold of the Singularity Caul into a place twisted by Shadow.[4]

Aerbax used three Power Forges to "harness the power of the Inner Eye".[11]


Prodigal Children

After the defeat of Grael, Aerbax returned to the story, featured as the major villain in the Favored Sons story arc. Aerbax hatched a plot to dominate the creatures of Auberean by crafting prodigal versions of several selected different races.[3] To obtain this goal, it planned to use its new knowledge to create "Prodigal"[12] creatures.

One of its experiments was on a young Olthoi Queen, captured by the Tanada. [13][14] The results of its experiments are the Paradox-touched Olthoi[15] and the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen

To obtain subjects for its experiments, sentient beings were kidnapped throughout Dereth. This included a Hea Tumerok, a Banderling, a Drudge, an Isparian and Claude the Archmage.[16]

An experiment to alter a Hea Tumerok further[17] did not have the desired result, since the altered Tumerok kept a mind of his own and had no desire to meet, let alone unite or enslave, his brethren. Nor did he care to wage any kind of war, by arms, sorcery, or guile, against humankind.[18][19]

Another of its actions was the alteration of Lugians into Shadow Lugians [20] and therefore, indirectly, the kidnapping of Balor.[21]

Quiddity Seeds

After being defeated by the Isparians and the failure of his prodigal experiments, Aerbax tried to erase the memories of important events from the mind of the Isparians in an attempt to break their spirits and make them more easily controlled, such as the memory of the defeat of the Olthoi Queen [22] [23], of the triumph against Bael'Zharon [24], and of Asheron saving the Empyreans from the Olthoi.[25] He was finally defeated at his [[Aerbax's Citadel {POI}|Citadel]] in the center of the Obsidian Plains during a one-time event.[26] though his Shadow remains.[27]

Aftermath

Aerbax's shadow has now been sundered, but Aerbax still exists and may one day again attempt to guide the course of history from afar.[3]
