Rutilus

Artidax is the Makuta of Xia.

History
Joined the BoM when Teridax usurped Miserix's position, and was Krika's helper until as recently as the days before the Great Cataclysm, when he became the Makuta of Xia. He joined the Nexensis group after the Matoran left for Mata Nui. He and the other eleven members of the Nexensis club were sent to Karda Nui to control Mata Nui's situation and keep him asleep. They all split up, Zaon, Giahz, Fianren, Nahnjo, Artidax and Fahak patrolled the eastern side of the swamp and remained the Nexensis, Gorast, Krika and Bitil patrolled th eastern part of the swamp as the Mistika, and Antroz Vamprah and Chirox prepared to welcome the Toa Nuva in the skies as the Phantoka. The Nexensis and Mistika were mutated by the swamp water into freaks, and could no longer shapeshift, or send telepathic messages. Artidax and the rest of the Nexensis are heading to warn the Phantoka so the same thing doesn't happen to them, as those three could be the Mistikas' and Nexensis' only link to the world outside Karda Nui.

Appearance
Before being mutated, Artidax had white and silver armour.
