I. Commodore Krux
- Commodore Krux is a soldier who believes his glory days are behind him. This Giff has spent the last few years working as a mercenary on and around the Rock of Bral, but lately he has been spending more time in his cups as new jobs have become fewer and farther between.

He's our next Evergreen Champion, so starting on July 19th 2023 you can unlock him by first completing the Topolah's Tower adventure and its variant Krux's Speed Run in the Light of Xaryxis campaign.

III. Commodore Krux's Design
As the captain of the Second Wind, Commodore Krux has spent many years proudly traversing Wildspace as a fighter and mercenary. He's made many friends and connections, as well as had multiple clashes with astral elves, throughout all of his travels. While he's worried that his glory days are long behind him, he's still enthusiastic about sailing his ship towards adventure!Most of Commodore Krux's efforts are focused on boosting All Hands On Deck! He increases the damage of all Champions in his column and in the rear-most column, and raises that bonus the longer you spend in an area. This well traveled Giff is an expert on Wildspace, so he can be used in any Light of Xaryxis campaign adventure or variant despite any restrictions. For every adventure, variant, and Patron variant you have completed in Light of Xaryxis, he increases the effect of his damage boost, as well as raising the health of all Champions in the formation. Plus he will keep an eye on incoming enemies with his Starfarer's Spyglass, making an enemy type in the next area his Favored Foe so they take more damage from all sources!
Commodore Krux can lead an assortment of formations, so his Specializations help him tailor his support depending on his crewmates. If he wants to focus on his column and the rear-most column, he can knock back his targets while boosting the effects of All Hands On Deck! With a formation filled with magic users, he will increase the damage of those with a magic base attack. Or he can offer damage boosts every time a Favored Foe is defeated. Commodore Krux has a pair of Flintlock Pistols always ready to fire, and when a bigger boom is needed he'll toss a Force Grenade into the fray for an explosion of ultimate damage!
This burly, hippopotamus-headed Giff is impossible to ignore in your formation, both because of his size and his support!
