Overview
Kalyx is an elderly Thiravos consul based in Pelagos and the head consul during Renneth and Maric's visit. He has white hair and a white beard, wears deep teal robes in the consulate, and presides over the six-consul meeting that receives Renneth and Maric after their arrival through the gate network. He is destroyed during Nerissa's Invasion of Xalmyrra when Gabriel's thundercloud crystal makes him an essence bomb.
Thiravos Consulship
Kalyx is cautious about Thiravos's isolation from mainland Valrindor, but he is willing to reopen contact with Xalmyrra after hearing Renneth and Maric. Thiravos's isolation history includes Eremion's scouts reaching Thiravos, Nero warning them away, and Nero later strengthening Thiravos's defenses against mainland Valrindor. Pyragos is Thiravos's vanished god, and he went to mainland Valrindor seeking Isandriel after centuries of recovery under Nerissa's protection.
After the meeting, Kalyx accompanies Renneth and Maric toward the gate chamber, discusses Thiravos, its cities, its islands, and its technology, and personally favors reconnecting with the world.
Xalmyrra Campaign
After Gabriel pressures Theryssa and Thiravos into attacking Xalmyrra, Kalyx pushes for preparation. He leaves Pelagia to prepare the army in Pelagos, inform Brontes, ready the skyships, and look for Xalmyrra's gate sequences. His personal vessel joins the skyship fleet, with Brontes aboard.
Kalyx and Brontes are lightning mages. Gabriel gives Nerissa a thundercloud crystal meant for a lightning wielder, and Nerissa later gives it to Kalyx as the fleet approaches Erenmyr. In battle, Kalyx fights in the sky with repeated lightning bolts against an opponent using cosmic beams and starfield barriers. Seralyth brings Kalyx down with darkness tendrils after the crystal buildup becomes unstable. The crystal makes Kalyx an essence bomb, the same danger Qadir poses after Gabriel's crystal fills him with stored essence, and Brynor carries the shielded Kalyx underground to contain the explosion.
