Among the three Shadowlords, none were as cunning or as elusive as Shadowlord Nox. In life, Nox was a renowned hunter within the Solirese Empire, a figure whose skill with the bow was unmatched. It was said that he once slew a fire drake, a feat that earned him legendary status among his peers. Nox was a master of the hunt, a predator whose senses were as sharp as his arrows, and whose presence was as silent as the wind.
But when Malekith turned the sun's power against the Solir, Nox's mortal body was reduced to ashes. What remained was a shadow, a creature of darkness that retained all of Nox's cunning and skill. In The Shadowfell, Nox became a master of shadows, operating a vast network of spies and assassins within the City of Evernight. His arcane bow, now imbued with dark magic, was said to have the power to wound even the Valekith.
Nox's influence in Evernight was vast, and his presence was felt in every corner of the city. When The Sunsations entered the city, it was Nox who first took notice. Ever the opportunist, Nox struck a deal with the adventurers: if they would kill the Sizira, he would help them uncover the secrets of Shadowlord Mortis. But Nox's plans went awry when he learned of Mortis's death at the hands of Archshadi Neverus. Betrayed and outmaneuvered, Nox joined the battle against Valekith during the Battle of the Four Armies, only to be killed by the very being he sought to destroy.
Shadowlord Nox was a creature of shadows, a Solir hunter twisted by Malekith's curse into a figure of darkness. His legacy is one of cunning and deception, a master assassin whose ambition ultimately led to his downfall. In the end, Nox's sharp mind and deadly skills were not enough to save him from the fate that awaited all who crossed the path of the Ascended Valekith.
