Artix von Krieger
Location: The Graveyard in Amityvale; Well, Well, Well, Titans of Battleon, We Three Spirits, The Necropolis, To have all the gold in Lore!, Attack on Drakonnan!, Final Battle!, Epilogue, A DragonLord's Birthday!
Description: Artix is the mysterious paladin who, along with his faithful dog, Daimyo, has recently taken up residency in Amityvale. While no one is sure why, Artix can frequently be found in the graveyard, "excoricising the undead to free their souls". As to why he spends most of his time slaying the undead, it is uncertain (however, there are rumors that he is cursed). He is eager to join any adventurers who cross paths with him, however, and is open to the slaying all kinds of other enemies too!

Talk
Artix Krieger: Reports of undead activity have been increasing across the land. I have come to Amityvale seeking your help to defeat them!
Who are you?
Artix Krieger: Please accept my apology. I was so excited to actually meet you in person that I forgot to introduce myself.
*smile*
Artix Krieger: My name is Artix von Krieger and I am a Paladin who has decicated his entire life to battling the undead.
Artix Krieger: You can usually find me battling the supernatural creatures in Doomwood. The highest concentration of undead can be found here!
Dragons
Artix Krieger: Lady Celestia told me that you hatched your Dragon! Amazing! Have you been feeding and training it?
Doom Weapon
Artix Krieger: Doom Weapons? They are evil weapons that promise great power but carry a terrible curse for those foolish enough to wield them.
Artix Krieger: Worse yet, I fear that I am responsible for the creation of one of them. It is a long tale that ended in a battle against a Master Necromancer.
Artix Krieger: He had just summoned a creature from the Plane of Eternal Darkness. The creature could not be slain so I trapped its soul in my Battleaxe...
Artix Krieger: As a result of the battle I was severly injured (-30 levels) and my Battleaxe was lost. I wonder if there could be a way to purify it.
Necromancers
Artix Krieger:Necromancers use their dark magic to create undead minions. There is a new Master Necromancer in the land named Noxus.

Artix's Official List of things that should NOT be said around UNDEAD
Artix Krieger: No, not all the time.
Artix Krieger:Sometimes I go to Underground Crypts, Lich Lairs, Mummy Tombs and the occasional Shopping Mall.
Artix Krieger: Indeed! The undead LOVE malls. Someone puts up a sale and they swarm like bees! *coughs* Zom-bees!
Artix Krieger: Say, if you are battling against the creatures of Darkness it would be an honor to fight beside you.
Artix Krieger: !
Artix Krieger:I like the way you think, this is going to be fun. Lead the way friend!
The Well

Artix: - Be still fiend! Prepare thyself for holy retribution exorcism aura of justice!
(Inside Well, Before Boss)
Artix: - Well met friend! Your timing is amazing... this next fiend looks like the BOSS!
Artix: - Well, this spooky little girl told me to jump down here to get her ring. She said I only had 7 days, so it must be important!
Titans of Battleon
*Telephone booth falls from the sky*
*Zhoom, Artix and Cysero fall out*
Artix: Greetings!
Artix: We have come back to your present, our past, to take you back to your future, our present and help save town.
Artix: Me too, actually.
Artix: In our time, you were knocked out just before the fight with Exodus and your dragon won't listen to anyone except you!
Artix: So Cysero made this time traveling phone booth to go back and get an earlier, younger version of you to ride your dragon.
Artix: Ask. We will answer what we can.
Artix: Yes.
Artix: WHAT?!
Artix: Ok, if you're ready, lets go! The future awaits!
*Several years in the future...*
Artix: What do you mean?
Artix: I think you will be suprised to see how powerful your dragon has grown.
Artix: If you are prepared then we need to get you on your dragon quickly!
Artix: Here it is. It should be fully powered and ready to fight. You won't need your Dragon Amulet, the other you left his on the dragon.
Artix: In theory, yes. We've never tried this before, so it just might eat you.
*You get on your dragon.*
Artix: You look like a true DragonLord. Are you ready?
Artix: Good luck, <character name>. We are all counting on you.
Artix: You have done it! Exodus has fallen!
Artix: Thank you for saving BattleOn, <charecter name>! It is time to send you back to your own time.
Artix: As soon as the other you comes around I will tell him what you have done for us. I am sure he will be proud.
Artix: Goodbye and good luck with your future, <charecter name>.
We Three Spirits
*Frozen ball of Lore appears*
Frostval Future: If his powers keep growing, by this time next year Lore will be a dead world completely incased in ice.
Frostval Future: We have come to awaken what little Frostval spirit there is within him. It's kind of what we do.
Frostval Present: We're very good at what we do, but should we fail... the burden of stopping Xanta Claus falls on you, hero.
Frostval Present: If it comes down to battle, you will only be able to stop him if you get...
Artix: Ha HAAA!
*Artix slashes Frostval Present*
Frostval Future: ...What the... that guy just took out Present!
*Artix slashes Frostval Future*
Frostval Past: HEY! STOP THAT!
*Artix takes out Frostval Past*
Artix: ...And that takes care of that! THOSE spirits won't be haunting anyone anytime soon.
<Character Name>: Artix... you just...

Artix: Heh. Everybody makes mistakes, right? *weak smile*

Artix: I would be honored to share with you what I have learned once we have a handle on this undead situation.
Doomwood
Artix: Doomwood used to be a beautiful forest... and it had a different name. I know this, because I was born and raised here before IT happened.
Necromancers
Artix: Necromancers... *furrows his brow* They are evil spell casters who abuse their magic to create and control the undead.

Artix: ...Was fighting through the Lightning Chasm.... Drakonnan was there. With the Fire Orb....
Artix: I... I... oh, by the Light, I thought it was all a dream!
Artix: My friend. You have saved me. I do not know how I can repay you. I... I am so sorry.
Artix: It... my head is still foggy, <Character>, but it is clear that Drakonnan has become far...
Artix: ..Far more powerful then any of us could have imagined.
Artix: He has used the power of the Fire Orb to it's fulllest, using it to... to corrupt minds and hearts of our fellow heros.
Artix: It... it was terrible, I thought it was a nightmare.
Artix: He Is working his way through the prisoners that he captured during his rampage and... converting them into mindless minions.
Artix: I... I am so sorry.
Artix: There is no Ice Katana.
Artix: While I was under Drakonnan's control...
Artix: I took the katana.
Artix: It now lies in one of Drakonnan's deepest dungeons.
Artix: ...
Artix: We will have to storm the dungeon and free the rest of the prisoners there and recover the katana.
Artix: For now, though, we must go.
Artix: Warlic and Cysero should be able to provide some protection against Drakonnan's reach, but we cannot linger here.
Artix: We must go back to Battleon and plan out next move
Final Battle!
Artix: The main part of Drakonnan's Lair lies within the mountain...
Artix: We will have to jump down into the pit.

Trivia:
• Artix is the one of the main NPCs of AQ, and is the alternate identity of Adventure Quest and Dragon Fable creator Adam Bohn
• Artix's axe is stolen during the great Undead Assault, and infused with dark spirits to become the Shadow Reaper of Doom. Lucky for Artix, it appears as though he gets it back (sans the pure darkness) at some point in the future, because he is seen wielding it in AQ
• Artix was the 2nd NPC that you could take with you as a party member
• It is hinted at that Artix is cursed, but little else is known about the curse. The first hint of Artix being cursed is found on DF promotional artwork. It is also brought up by a villager in Amityvale, who claims "I heard he was cursed and will die if he does not free enough undead each day!"
• Artix's "KO" animation features a large hand breaking through the earth beneath him and dragging him underground. Nothing has been given to account for this, aside from rumors of his "curse"
Bonus:
• Artix's PVP ID# is 22
• Artix's bio from AQ
