Drew my asura siblings! Serious, annoyed sister and silly brother. But he can be serious in his own way.

Zeegix and Viex are researchers of natural fractals in Astral Ward. Their research partially helps with understanding artificial fractals and also the recent fiasco. That also includes understanding Alex situation since they're observing nowadays.

Natural fractals can be quite dangerous if not handled properly. Zeegix and Viex found it out the hard way. There was a fractal in which both of them almost died but only one managed to leave it. Something went wrong with the magical structure of it, which caused Viex to be trapped in the specific variation of the fractal (Silent Surf) with no way to trigger this variant again. Zeegix left it not only traumatized but also with very strange, new powers, which only Revenants use.

For years he grew to accept his sister was dead. It was heartbreaking and making him feel guilty but he masked all of that with his goofy persona. During that time he got to learn his new powers and managed to connect to deceased spirit of Commander Minerva. Even if the known knowledge on Revenant's legend says these are just echoes of real people but Minerva felt... very reactive and sentient. Especially when Zeegix finally met Michael in Gyala Delve. Minerva insisted to not tell Michael that Zeegix is channeling her or talking to her. He respected her wishes.

When Michael ended up cooperating with Astral Ward, he decided to join an expedition to one of the natural fractals. It turned out Michael came back with Viex. But how?! The incredible luck or perhaps the magical surge which collapsed artificial fractals also "unlocked" this natural fractal - specifically, it's proper magical configuration (something like specific map IP).

The moment Zeegix saw Viex, he was in shock first. Then he just broke down in tears. He missed her so much and hoped she didn't hate him - he had no idea how he could truly save her.

And some additional info:

For human standards Zeegix is rather intelligent but in asuran society he was considered to possess low intelligence. He was denied places which most asura went to gain useful knowledge and experience. Zeegix nature is usually to be smily and joke, so usually he appeared to shrug it all off but Viex, his sister, was angry for him and fought to accept him in places such as college.
