Xanthrax is of the Maitory, a species native on Sarin Nergo in the Recyan solar system. Through its inhospitable environment for non-native species, the Recyan solar system could avoid interest and hostilities from the Pure empire, for a time. The unique gases and venoms turned out to be invaluable resources for weaponry and medicine. Facing the decision to fight the empire or to be part of it, the inhabitants turned to the Maitory who are the dominant and most skilled species with poisons, gases and venoms. There is a highly dense venom found on their skin, which is created through their diet. Further, they have several organs like nostrils and skin to ingest and manipulate different toxins. But their biggest asset is that the organic spores of the Pure cannot survive in the Maitorys hostile body, making them immune to mind manipulation and mind control.

The Maitory decided to resist the Pure by using their natural affinity to poisons venoms and gasses to develop weapons on every scale. The most effective gases are used compressed, to produce liquid venom for bullet infusions and other ammunition which turn to gas on impact. Special secretions can be used to fabricate a crystallized form of toxin for close range blade weapons. Over time, the resistance turned into a stalemate and later even to a codependence of weapon manufacturer and customer. So the Maitory find themselves leading a syndicate which spreads throughout multiple solar systems within the Andromeda galaxy.

The Highest of all Maitory

Xanthrax climbed his way to the top by ascending into the highest form of the Maitory, a Czar Hadir. He became a being which could ingest and produce venom, toxins and gases at will. One of his numerous abilities is the release of toxic clouds. Another is to harvest and preserve multiple types of gases and venoms within his different organs to nurture them or to create new highly effective and unknown toxic substances.

Xanthrax is the syndicate leader of toxin weapon manufacturers which are spread throughout multiple solar systems within the Andromeda galaxy. In that territory, several species adapted to toxins using them mostly for aggressive purposes. It is rumoured that the extinction of the Olomy species was caused by Xanthrax alone as he created and released a nerve poison into the groundwater based on the Olomys DNA. With such a strong leader, voices are emerging for a move to independence from the Pure or even an own empire.
