Yiex

Yiex is a leader on the island of Theros. Once serving as a minor tribal leader of the Gertek Horde, Yiex fled from the realm after the fall of the Kartek Diarchy and settled in Theros.

Gertek Origin
Details of Yiex's early life are largely speculative, however it is known that he seemed to have appeared in Gortovar shortly after the formation of the Kartek Diarchy. It was only a short time after his appearance that tales of his combat prowess began to circulate throughout the Diarchy, and Tommo Khan granted Yiex the status of leader of his own tribe due to his warrior strength.

Time as Commander
Acquisition of his new role gave Yiex the stature to grow his influence and wealth, and before long he was regarded throughout Kartek as a soldier to be reckoned. His influence grew to such heights that during the Portusburg Crisis, Yiex was appointed as Commander of the Kartek Army, and led the charge during the first battle of Portusburg.

Departure & the Heavenly Challenges
Just before the end of the Portusburg Crisis, the Kartek Diarchy collapsed, and Yiex along with several other leaders were at a loss for how to approach the situation. Seeking to avoid the chaos that was befalling his homeland, Yiex fled from the Diarchy with his friend Barend Kramer. Together they travelled for some time, before they discovered a lone island with a strange portal. Walking through, they found themselves transported to a strange, heavenly plane above the isle, where a celestial being spoke to them - complete its challenges, and the island would be theirs.

The first of the challenges was to navigate through a grand maze. For three days the pair traveled before making it to the other side, where they were faced with the second challenge. A large parkour course rested before them, and though the two were weary from the maze, together they were able to scale the course and arrive on the other side, landing in an arena where their third and final challenge emerged - an immense, feral lion, the size of seven men. The duo fought valiantly, yet the lion was relentless in its ferocity. It swiped a claw across Yiex's chest, leaving a deep scar, but this did not deter the warrior. Finally the beast was slain, and the voice of the celestial rang out around them, congratulating them for their efforts. The island of Theros was theirs.

As Leader of Theros
While their ownership of the island was certain, this did not deter the hand of worldly powers. Shortly after Yiex and Barend began to establish themselves upon the island, international claims were being made over ownership of the land. At this time, the fourth empire of Bardonia had extended its reach far to the east, and laid claim to the islands. In order to avoid a confrontation with this powerhouse, Yiex and Barend let their presence be known to the Bardonians, and through swift negotiations were accepted into Bardonia.

With a grand fort and castle established upon the cliffs of Theros, Yiex now spends his days defending his island home from those who would seek to challenge his divine claim over the isle.
