History

Juan the Hunter facilitated the escape. According to the Skronamon Document, on arriving KAXA and GRDT declared: “We took a portion of heaven, mixed and fused it with a portion of earth, and created man.”

After their captivity in Rome they adopted a gnostic conception of the cosmos, depicting the demiurge as a monster (an octopus imprisoning the world, a lion-headed reptile, a pig or an ass), and considered themselves allogenes (strangers), a race sharing in a higher, luminous world.

With GRDT he took part in abducting a girl to Broken Reach, the last one delivered as tribute to the great serpent of Axum. Together they set a new genealogy for Axum’s forebears: Noah → Ityopys → Axsumawy → GRDT.

Open questions

  • Whether this KAXA is the same figure as Kaxathros (killer of Coyote) or “Caxatros the Turk”, Graz’zt’s right hand in the final cycle of Antiterra, is unresolved.
