When Xenofex was slain and Lucifer Kreegan seized the seat of power, Xeron was the first to declare fealty to this usurper. Highly decorated and respected, when Xeron chose to support this new king, other heroes quickly followed suit.

Story[edit | edit source]

Xeron the Terrible is leader of the Sons of Erebus and a loyal and tenacious servant of Lucifer Kreegan. He is the son of a Succubus and an Erathian Knight whom she tainted and corrupted. After Xenofex appeared to Lucifer Kreegan in a vision, Lucifer tasked Xeron with acquiring Armageddon's BladeArmageddon's Blade and bringing it to him. Xeron set to this task with fervor, aided by his childhood friend Xex. Together they kidnapped Judge Sleen and forced him to help them find the 3 Conflux heroes protecting the artifacts required to create the blade.

Once Xeron had the required artifacts, he used Sleen again to locate the Grand Forgesmith Khazandar - the only one who could actually create the fabled blade. Khazandar demanded to be spared Xenon's Armageddon and be paid 30,000 Gold. Xeron agreed and Khazandar constructed Armageddon's BladeArmageddon's Blade for him. Once in possession of the Blade, Xeron ordered Khazandar to be executed.

While this was going on, GeluGelu Gelu slew Xeron's mother, which enraged him into sending Gelu a message via a corpse spiked to a tree:

"To the murderer Gelu, this is the only warning you will receive
and is to inform you I will be killing you and all that you love as you have done to me.
This message is revenge for my mother, you monster."
 -- Xeron, Leader of the Sons of Erebus, and bearer of Armageddon's Blade.

Nearly done with his quest, Xeron had only to return to Lucifer Kreegan. However, by this time the Erathians (under CatherineCatherine Catherine, RolandRoland Roland and GeluGelu Gelu) had nearly defeated the Kreegans. Xeron confronted the Erathians, only to be defeated at his moment of triumph. Armageddon's BladeArmageddon's Blade was taken from him and given to GeluGelu Gelu, though Xeron managed to teleport away before he could be finished off. Loyal to the last, Xeron and Sons of Erebus formed the last line of defense around Kreelah, but were eradicated under the combined onslaught of the Erathians, the Conflux and Armageddon's BladeArmageddon's Blade.
