Daxos of Meletis

As a child, Daxos' family believed him to be deaf and mute- the boy never responded, not even to his name, and had never said a word in his life. At best, Daxos never seemed fully there; at worst, it was believed that the boy might even have been born without a soul.
It would take several years, and a great tragedy, before Daxos' truth would be revealed- Daxos was neither deaf nor mute, but an oracle, a rare child born with the gift to communicate directly with the gods. But while other oracles are born with a connection to a singular god, Daxos held the unique ability to perceive the entire pantheon of Theros at once.
Into the Dark Though Daxos' mother, Lidia loved her child as any mother would, his apparent inability to hear and speak left her worried for the boy's future. When her son began to exclusively spend his time outside, weaving strange patterns into the air with his fingers, she feared the worst- that while her son had survived his birth, his soul had not, and had already been taken to the Underworld. With no other option, Lidia took Daxos to the Shrine of Athreos, hoping to bargain for her son's lost soul.
It was during the journey that Daxos said his first word; and that Lidia, herself an oracle, looked into her son's eyes and saw the truth of his future. And when she saw, so did the gods.
Into the Sun Daxos only managed to leave the Underworld thanks to his mother, who bargained her own life for his. Returning to the surface, alone and misunderstood, Daxos knew what must happen- he traveled to the Temple of Heliod in Meletis, where he received the sun god's blessing, becoming one of Heliod's faithful.
Daxos spent the rest of his childhood at the temple, training body and mind. He hoped to become a link between gods and mortals, strengthening their connection and defending mortals from the gods' ire. When the mighty hydra Polukranos began to rampage across Theros. Daxos went to fight it, meeting the planeswalker Elspeth there and working with her to slay the beast.
After the fight, Elspeth was raised as Heliod's champion, and she began to train with Daxos in matters of faith and war. Together, they fought many battles, including against Mogis' slaughter hordes in the siege of Akros. It was after the victory there that they two realized their love, and it was after their confession that the planeswalker Xenagos shattered Elspeth's mind, tricking her into slaying Daxos with her own weapon.
