- This wiki is very much under construction. The original wiki was set to be shut down and the wiki was largely mirrored to a Fandom-based version, though most of the reference images had not yet been copied over. This migration was put on hold when it appeared the original wiki could in fact be retained, however the old wiki was lost in its entirety when the server was among the many taken down by a massive series of cyberattacks on data centers during early February, 2023. It is now being rebuilt with the launch of Hel. Sorry if it's a little messy right now!

<section begin=feature />Xen'ophon is a [[Sarghress]] soldier of [[Val'Sullisin'rune|Sullisin'rune]] heritage, once serving under [[Sang Niz'zre Sarghress|Sang]].<section end=feature />


<section begin=feature />Laele'aell was once [[Quain'tana Val'Sarghress|Quain'tana]]'s ideal heir to the [[Val'Sarghress]] clan. She lost her mind to a demon, was converted to a flesh golem and is now a husk of her former self.<section end=feature /> She is still an adept killing machine, and is employed by the [[Val'Sarghress#Fallen Legion|Fallen Legion]] when it is practical to do so.<nowiki><ref></nowiki>{{ChapterRef|50|216}}<nowiki></ref></nowiki>
==Appearance & Personality==
Xen'ophon is a lightly built male drowolath with mismatched blue and yellow eyes. He wears his hair short and with the red marking of the [[Sarghress]] at the very back, with two locks of hair styled somewhat longer and worn just past his ears. He is also quite proud of and close to his [[Sullisin'rune]] side of the family, wearing a large blue sash as a mark of loyalty. His favoured weapon is a broadsword matched with a shield.


==Appearance and Personality==
He is a cheerful and energetic individual, nearly always sporting a broad smile. He develops close bonds with his comrades and a has strong sense of personal loyalty; loyalty which is not readily transferred in the case of shifts in politics or power. Despite - or perhaps because of - his easygoing demeanor, he is fully capable of dispassionate and ruthless actions against individuals he views as endangering his peers.
Before her fall, Laele shared the same ideals and philosophies as her mother, Quain'tana. She is described as having been driven, intelligent, and a worthy opponent in battle. In her current state however, she has lost her personality entirely. She can follow simple orders, but she is likely to fly into a bloodthirsty frenzy in which she swiftly slaughters any and all who get in her way. She can be calmed and focused by a musician when she enters this state of mind.


Laele is tall with long white hair that is pulled back in a braid. Her eyes are completely blank. She still wears the uniform of the Fallen Legion.

===Heir to the Clan===
Laele'aelle was born to [[Quain'tana Val'Sarghress]] early in the clan's history. She grew up in her mother's footsteps, and she soon became the pride of the clan. She quickly rose through the ranks of the Sarghress military until she came to lead her own honor guard. She was the perfect heir to the Val'Sarghress clan, and nobody doubted who would rule the clan if Quain'tana should fall.


===Laele's Fall===
===March of the Wolfpack===
Unfortunately, Laele'aell's overwhelming successes did not last. She had an incident in which a demon destroyed her mind, leaving her an empty husk of what she used to be. She still seemed to have some capacity for following simple commands, but her now animalistic intelligence was clearly unfit to lead any troops at all, let alone the entire clan.
When Ariel let the Sarghress on a march against the Vel'Sharen, her people were ambushed by artillery and Snadhya'rune's [[Nidraa'chal]] assassins. Xen'ophon took this opportunity to separate Ariel from the main force and attack.<ref>{{ChapterRef|57|18}}</ref>


The Val'Sarghress clan mourned Laele's fall heavily. Quain'tana was devastated by the loss of her daughter and was forced to explore new avenues for a suitable heir to lead the clan.

The legion Laele had commanded changed their title to the [[Val'Sarghress#Fallen Legion|Fallen Legion]] in respect to their beloved commander's plight. [[Mablevi]] took over control, and Laele was kept for whatever purposes she could hope to serve.
 
===The Black Dragon===

Years later, Quain'tana had found herself a promising new heir, [[Ariel Val'Sarghress]]. While exploring the city and accepting an invitation to  see an arena match at the [[Chel'el'Sussoloth#Arena Hill District|Black Dragon]] tavern, Laele'aell was ordered to follow Ariel and protect her from afar. She remained hidden until Ariel hastily sparked a fight between the guards of the establishment and the Fallen Legionnaires protecting her.
 
Laele acted swiftly, indiscriminately murdering anyone that stood between her and the Black Dragon's owner, [[Lady Irena]]. When a nether summoner tried to use demons to defend herself, Laele'aell consumed the freed nether beings just as quickly as she'd slayed all the corporeal guards and gladiators.
 
She was later calmed by a musician who had come along for this purpose. One of Ariel's guards, [[Jiv'kyn Sarghress|Jiv'kyn]], requested that Laele not protect the young heir anymore due to the obvious dangers involved. Mablevi agreed, and Laele's whereabouts since then are unknown.


==Biography - Arc II==
Laele escapes captivity while under watch of her caretakers [[Sakrag Sarghress]] and [[Rayata Sarghress]]<ref>{{ChapterRef|50|44}}</ref>, her seals that keep the flesh golem in place worn down and broken. Laele is able to hunt down the roaming horror [[Khaless Vel'Sharen|Khaless]], and seal the ethereal demon's entire essence.<ref>{{ChapterRef|50|216}}</ref> However, this causes Laele to overload and allow the demons inside her body to finally take over, becoming a demon herself. The body is finally slain by [[Gaes'riganis Am'saag Sarghress]]--who had been aiming to kill the remaining Vals of Sarghress--with a fatal blow to the skull.<ref>{{ChapterRef|50|218}}</ref>

Now a free floating nether demon, the essence of Laele and Khaless found habitation inside [[Orthorbbae]] with [[Kiel]], and found a love of playing children's games.

As Sang ordered fire concentrated onto the airship to prevent their quarry's escape, Xen'ophon moved with his comrades to board the vessel.[3] However, a wounded Kel'noz was able to use his considerable abilities with mana arts to hold the attacks at bay long enough for airship to take to the skies, himself narrowly rescued by Ariel. The airship thus escaped to launch their own attack on Felde.

Second Battle of Felde

Continuing to march under Sang, Xen'ophon followed Kor'maril into Snadhya'rune's personal tower to trap and capture Ariel personally.[4] Though Xen'ophon attempted to keep his comrade's spirits up, the battle quickly deteriorated in the cramped confines of the tower's halls, with Xen'ophon entering into direct combat with Sar'nel.[5] The During the scuffle, the airship self-destructed and caused massive structural damage to the tower. It was then that Ariel surrendered to Kor'maril to save her people. Unfortunately, Sang did not survive the duel with Kel'noz, and Kor'maril's squad lamented the loss of their leader.

March of the Wolfpack

When Ariel let the Sarghress on a march against the Vel'Sharen, her people were ambushed by artillery and Snadhya'rune's Nidraa'chal assassins. Xen'ophon took this opportunity to separate Ariel from the main force and attack.[6]
