Vexx is the main protagonist of the game of the same name, the only playable character, and the grandson of Overwood's former guardian Vargas. He is a young Valdani who was enslaved by the Shadowraith Dark Yabu along with his grandfather. While a slave, Vexx lashed out on his enslavers, which caused Dark Yabu to kill his grandfather. On his quest for revenge, he found the Astani War Talons on Yabu's windship and fell into a deep sleep. He was found by a man named Darby, who was revealed to be Yabu in disguise. Vexx then worked with Reia, keeper of the Landspire, in order to defeat Yabu once and for all. Vexx was ultimately successful in defeating Yabu in the Shadow Realm, although he was unable to escape from the realm himself.
