This strange undead lurker is always happy to say weird things at unexpected times... unless he's busy bringing about Xyrmageddon. Xyphos is an Artificate/Animation specialist for AdventureQuest when he's not busy in Yulgar's basement working on his own nefarious plans. It's the end of the world and it's all Xy's fault!

Game Balance

The Rayfish is known by many names and wears many hats, especially The Hat.

On IRC, she can usually be found in #aq_game_balance and other channels.

The origin of Chii has yet to be fully explained. Artix Entertainment's lips are sealed, but rumor has it that Chii fell from the sky in the year 65,000,000 B.C. and was adopted by a local family of cavemen. Eventually tiring of their disco clubs and incessant car insurance commercials, Chii departed for Parts Unknown, but got hung up in Michigan instead, where it was discovered and raised by a pack of wolves. Chii now prowls the Suggestions forums, in addition to chewing up numbers for AdventureQuest and occasionally designing new toys for adventurers to play with. Evidence of housebreaking remains inconclusive.

Lord Barrius is commonly known as the Kitten, and a very friendly (and presumably fluffy and snuggly as most kittens are) one at that. What is less known about him is his work behind the scenes as a Knight of Order, helping to balance AQ. When not pouncing around in the various Dragonfable boards on the AE Forums (particularly DF Suggestions, in which he was ruled the Supreme Snuggly Overlord) and Game Balance Issues on the forums, he can often be found on the Caelestia IRC network (in which he is a local operator for Immertot.caelestia.net) chatting in many different channels, #battleon and #aq_game_balance among them.

The Talwraith is an elusive creature, with a helpful attitude, and a great appetite for spam. Appearing and vanishing since ages past, he has become something of a repository of various, useless bits of knowledge, which he can be bothered for via PM, both during active, and lurking cycles. Handling most communications through many channels in AQ's IRC network, his presence in the forums is most often felt by the vanishing of "problem" posts, especially in the suggestions forum.

This inquisitive otter loves to meander through the MQ Gremlins (Bugs) forum on the trail of those pesky Gremlins who foul things up in MechQuest. Although she is busy sleuthing, testing, and reporting the annoying errors, she also plays and enjoys learning about the AE games. She won't hesitate to drown a too-big sig or to let you know how to follow the rules better, but is quite friendly. You can always PM her on the forums, and you may even find her splashing around the Caelestia IRC network.

With what remains of his free time Seahawk occasionally assists in vectoring artwork for use in both DragonFable and MechQuest, and has also developed and written quests for AdventureQuest.

Wallo can be found wandering around the forums with a golden fiddle, ready to moderate as long as he gets food at the end of it all. He does get hungry you know. He spends the rest of his time thinking of various ways he can summon up Churchill from beyond the grave to help moderate. He's good overall though, and can mostly be found in mIRC as well as AQGGD, Clans, and OOC.

In the wilds of the Antarctic, penguins wander... this one is mighty lost! Being secretive and rarely seen by outsiders, penguins are perfect archivers of information, and this one has chosen DragonFable as her pet project. Through the forums she waddles in search of fish and the meaning of life, and lately has been wondering if they're synonymous. A PM can always bring her out of hiding and, if you're lucky, you might catch her in one of the Caelestia IRC channels, too.
