History
Vaxall was the most powerful beholder of the Alimir Hive outlander community, which was based out of the beholder city of Zokir. His main objective was reestablishing beholder power over the Arnaden region, Calimshan, eastern Tethyr and Erlkazar. To acheive this, it reformed the beholder cults near the Lake of the Steam. Vaxall once possessed the Fanged Shield of Shyk Korort until it was stolen by Aldannar's Band. In an act of revenge for the theft, Vaxall annihilated the elven community in the Thornwood where two of that group's members hailed from. Around 1370 DR, under orders of the Runemasters, Vaxall used the pseudonym Xalval and infiltrated the Zhentarim. The beholder served Teldorn Darkhope of Mintar and played a main role in conquering Kzelter.
