Zenix

Zenix is one of the characters of Minecraft Diaries, mainly Season 1 and briefly season 2. He lived in Phoenix Drop and was the guard apprentice of Garroth.

Biography
Zenix's past is still relatively unknown. He was found as a young boy by Garroth, shortly after the old Lord of Phoenix Drop disappeared. Garroth took him in and raised him, later taking him on as his apprentice.

Upon Aphmau's arrival, he was one of the first people to greet her when she came to Phoenix Drop. Later on, when Garroth was finally getting over the disappearance of the old Lord, he assigned Zenix and Brendan to demolish the old lord's home in the forest. It was then Vylad shot an arrow at Zenix, only for Zenix to pull Brendan in front of him at the last second, resulting in Brendan being shot.

While Brendan recovered, Garroth and Zenix went into the forest to find the archer. While they were out, Zenix turned on Garroth and shot him through the heart with an arrow, then disappeared for many episodes.

When Aphmau was seeking out Lord Burt, she entered the holding cell where the lord was and where Zenix was guarding. He attempted to fight her, but she knocked him unconscious during the battle and Vylad came in afterwards to unexpectedly save him.

Much later, Aphmau came across a man in the forest who introduced himself as Kain, which was actually Zenix in disguise. Kain gave Aphmau a Wyvern staff and instructed her to go to the Wyvern realm and collect sacred wood logs for him. However, when Aphmau returned with the news she hadn't collected anything since the Wyvern Elder told her not to give it to Kain, Zenix broke his character out of anger and attacked her. This is when Aphmau discovered that Zenix had become a Shadow Knight. After nearly killing Aphmau, he disappeared once more, although Matilda revealed Zenix was the one keeping her prisoner in Scaleswind. When Aphmau returned to Phoenix Drop, Dale told her that Zenix had attacked the village in desperate search of Levin and had destroyed most of the town. In the battle, he got into a clash with Garroth, which left Garroth's helm badly damaged.

As it was revealed over time by various characters, Zenix had ended up betraying the Shadow Lord by slaughtering the Shadow Knight army he was assigned and going out on his own, which made him a traitor to both Phoenix Drop and the Shadow Knights.

In Season 2, 15 years later, it is found out through Sasha that Zenix has gone completely mad, opened a portal to the Nether and starting "absorbing", or killing, the Shadow Knight army. It has gotten so bad that Sasha came to Phoenix Drop asking for help, which is surprising since Sasha had attempted to kill Aphmau once before.

Sasha also revealed Zenix had already been a Shadow Knight prior to the events of Season 1, even before Garroth met him. She went on to say Zenix didn't get along well with Gene and often rivalled him for the position of leader of the army before he was exiled.

Appearance
Zenix has fairly tanned skin, dark brown hair, and brown eyes. He wore a grey suit of armor with golden details.

As of Season 2, his eyes are red and he wears a red and black suit of armour. Due to the helmet obscuring most of his face, it's unknown if he still looks the same.

Personality
Zenix at first came off as an introverted young man who struck Aphmau as mysterious and odd, though he showed no malicious intent. He also seemed weak and not the best at combat, but it turned out that it was all a facade.

However, after his reveal to be a Shadow Knight, he turned out to be very manipulative and power-hungry, though this might have been caused by simply being a Shadow Knight rather than his true personality.
