Biography
Artix is a paladin: a holy knight of good who defends the world from the forces of evil. He is honest, friendly and pure-hearted. As a child, Artix was the only survivor as his home town and foster family fell to a Necromancer's undead army. Taken in by the wise and kind Lady Celestia, he was trained by the Order of Paladins - this was very much against their will, as Artix was unable to use Light-based magic (without the use of Spirit orbs) which is a prerequisite for casting light based, healing and defensive magic. Celestia alone knew why, and it was a secret she kept from both Artix and the order. Artix became a champion of good whose story themes include never giving up, always choosing to do "what is right" over the easy path, and judging people by who they are, instead of what they are.
Artix's axe, the Blinding Light of Destiny, is able to free the Spirits orbs of the undead, which allow him to used light based magic.
AQWorlds Lore
Main Storyline (13 Lords of Chaos)
Intro
The first time Artix appears in the AQWorlds storyline is already the introduction or tutorial. Artix appears as first in a cutscene, slaying undead. In the older versions of the AQWorlds tutorial Artix can also be found at the end of the map shooting the Hero up a dragon to save Princess Tara.
Current AQWorlds intro is called Oaklore and Artix there appears in the first room after you enter Oaklore Keep. He tells you there how to use your class.
Swordhaven invasion
His next apparition in AQW takes place during the invasion of Swordhaven by the undead forces commanded by Sepulchure. He wants to take King Alteon down, as he thinks he's the Champion of light, and killing him would start an endless era of darkness in all Lore. In order to stop him, he aids the Hero in the fight against the undead in order to get into the castle safely, as King Alteon and Sepulchure are about to start fighting.
Swordhaven
The next time you will find Artix in the main story is in the cutscene when King Alteon severely suffers from the chaos curse and befalls sick. Artix is there with the hero next to the bed of the gravely ill king and swears alliance to the king of Swordhaven.
Besides that you can normally find Artix in the Inn of Swordhaven where he offers to train you as paladin.
When Swordhaven later on falls to Chaos twice Artix is suprisingly absent at the scene.
Mount Doomskull
Following the story you will meet Artix again in a cutscene of the Chaos Finale. Firstly of the skyship of Stratos together with Alina and Warlic.
As well in the cutscene that tells Drakath's story. When the Hero is ready to challenge Drakath in the Chaos Realm, Artix and Gravelyn lend the Hero their powers as elemental champions of Light and Darkness.
Main Storyline 2 (Queen of Monsters)
In the battle agains the Queen of Monsters that happens after the 13 lords of chaos saga Artix is not as much involved either.
Again he does not appear to save Swordhaven from the next invasion and doesn't interfere with the quarrling heirs of deceased King Alteon.
But when the town of Battleon is at stake Artix suddenly is there; defending the east side of the town in Greenguard forest that surrounds the town.

AQ3D Lore
Doomwood
The very first time the Hero finds Artix in AQ3D is in Doomwood. There Artix appears to next to a tent, and mentions to have been traveling to Doomwood as reincforcements from the Paladin Order to the local paladins. And to investigate in the spread of the undead plague.
However all paladins seem to have succumbed to the growing undead plague in the area and Artix is the only one left standing. In his quests it appears the Doomwood paladin watch commander sold out his paladins to the undead to save his own life and buried the journal before he vanished himself.
Artix holds ground and slays undead on his own until the paladin reincforcements will arrive. Undead slaying is still his biggest hobby after all.
Shadowskull Tower
At the Shadow Tower Artix accompanies the Hero again to fight against the NecroKnight whom apparently is responsible for the undead plague in Doomwood. The undead are stronger here, but Artix is only pleased by this. After the Hero defeats the various forms of the Necroknight, Artix himself joins in to help you fight the Necroknight himself.
