Anax's old existence ended, and his new one began, with the Circlet of Kalreth. An arcane artifact created by the desert sorcerers of a long-dead Krokhan civilization to help protect their clan chiefs, it granted strength and protection to the wearer, but was also imbued with far more potent, secret magics.

The circlet became the symbol of the highest rank among the Dune Guards, warriors tasked with protecting the king of the mighty Ankha clan, which in ages past dominated a vast swathe of the Krokhan Desert. For many years they fulfilled their duties. No Ankhan ruler was ever slain by the enemies of the clan, until the reign of Sumrek the Conqueror.

Sumrek was powerful and expansionist, and made many enemies. A rival clan made an unholy pact with the Demonspawn assassin Vengarix, and the commander of the Dune Guards, Captain Anax, could not stop him from striking the fatal blow against Sumrek. Horrified at failing not only his ruler but the legacy of all Guard commanders who had gone before, Anax agreed to the ritual proscribed for those found wanting in the line of duty. When Sumrek was interred in his tomb, Anax was walled-up in with him, still alive. Upon his brow the Circlet of Kalreth remained, for the gravity of his failure meant the Dune Guards were disbanded, and it would never be passed on to another commander.

Anax's fate was terrible enough, but the Circlet made it worse. Unbeknownst to any in the clan, the advantages that came to its wearer had a price. If the warrior who wore it failed in his duties to protect the king, it would maintain his life until he was able to extract vengeance upon the one who had struck the killing blow, if they themselves yet lived. The fact that Sumrek's killer was an immortal Demonspawn ensured that Anax awoke to his Undead existence after dying of thirst still entombed with the corpse of his king.

How long Anax's mind remained whole after that is impossible to say. All that is certain is that it was over six centuries before thieves disturbed Sumrek's tomb, and when they did they found the former Captain of the Guard now a dusty, walking corpse, the Circlet of Kalreth still gleaming on his skeletal brow. He was, by this point, completely insane, having spent centuries trying and failing to escape.

Anax slaughtered the unfortunate thieves who had unwittingly freed him, their blood awakening the long-dormant poisons of his enchanted shotel blades. He then stumbled from the accursed tomb and staggered off into the desert, and the night.

It took centuries more for Anax to recover even a fragment of his own mind, only the arcane pull of his crown giving him the merest degree of focus. He latched on to the belief that he had to track down Vengarix, for while a Demonspawn could not be truly killed, he hoped that slaying Vengarix's physical body would be enough to grant himself a reprieve, and the end to his maddened existence he craved. While that may be the case, finding Vengarix has proven to be a challenge, for the Demonspawn assassin is a shadow that seems to live more in legend than in Teleria's reality. Anax's deathless quest continues, and stories of the wandering, raving Undead 'king' abound, the tellers not knowing that the crown he wears upon his ancient skull is not actually a sign of kingship and authority, but a terrible curse.

Anax can be summoned from Ancient Shard, Sacred Shard and Primal Shard as a Epic champion.
