Accomplishments & Achievements

Lixius was the first person to discover the somewhat taboo art of necromancy. He discovered that a being's life is the equivalent of an ethereal thread, if that thread snaps, the life is lost. While some dedicated holy magic can mend and repair said thread, at great time, effort and cost, much like repairing threads and ropes, necromancy is a quicker, easier and faster method of repairing said thread, much like quickly tying a knot in a piece of string.

Mental Trauma

His experiments with working with and on the dead, and the untested forms of magic Lixius practiced warped his mind and was somewhat mad in his later years. Either that, or the goddess of madness really took an interest in this new form of magic.

He did not care about the morality or the ethics behind his magic, or anything else in his life. He only cared about results.

He is very knowledgeable about most things of the arcane, especially those dealing with the mortal coil, although all this time studying had left his body somewhat frail in comparison to his mental prowess
