Raxivort is a very low-power demigod and the originator of xvarts. Raxivort resembles a xvart of great hideousness (even for a xvart). His skin is bright blue and his eyes glow with orange light. He wore silken garments over blue mail, all of which shimmered as if aflame.
    Before his demigod status, Raxivort was a treasurer for Graz'zt. He eventually betrayed him by stealing some of this treasure and fleeing to the material plane. One of the items he stole was the Infinity Spindle, a crystal shard from the early times of the multiverse that could transform creatures into gods.
