Aerbax has been a character in Asheron's Call since The Rise of the New Singularity, the 2nd story arc. It started out as one of the rogue Virindi that had gained individuality. When the New Singularity was defeated Aerbax found a way to rejoin the Quiddity without losing its individuality. In its earlier days Aerbax was responsible for the Virindi augmentation of many creatures and the creation of new servant beings. Most notable of its creations were the Dolls and Marionettes. Aerbax was also the creator of Martine, the augmented human, and Oolutanga, the augmented Tusker. Both experiments escaped and became major characters in Dereth.
At some point later, Aerbax discovered an “Energy Source” which it used to augment creatures and Virindi to new strengths. Aerbax had a companion at the Energy Source which it called its Mirror. It was later revealed that Aerbax’s Mirror was Ler Rhan, and the Energy Source was a Kemeroi. For some time Aerbax and Ler Rhan were rather inactive, with their only major activities on Dereth being the creation of the creatures which now populate the Valley of Death and the alteration of the once Virindi stronghold of the Singularity Caul into a place twisted by Shadow.
After the defeat of Grael, Aerbax returned to the story, featured as the major villain in the Favored Sons story arc.
