Nex is an immensely powerful entity and one of Zaros's most powerful weapons of war. What [[race]] she belongs to is widely disputed; however, she possesses physical traits of the [[Icyene]], [[Demon]]s, [[Aviantese]] and [[Vampyres]]. Her history and origin are equally mysterious, but whatever they are she has aligned herself with Zaros and is the leader of his last army. She has over fifteen unique combat moves.
Nex is an immensely powerful entity and one of Zaros's most powerful weapons of war. What [[race]] she belongs to is widely disputed; however, she possesses physical traits of the [[Icyene]], [[Demon]]s, [[Aviantese]] and [[Vampyres]]. Her history and origin are equally mysterious, but whatever they are she has aligned herself with Zaros and is the leader of his last army. She has over fifteen unique combat moves.
+
==History==
+
Following Zaros's downfall in the Second Age, the [[Mahjarrat]] [[Azzanadra]] was defeated by the armies of [[Zamorak]] and [[Saradomin]]. He was imprisoned inside of the great pyramid of [[Jaldraocht]]. Before his imprisonment, Azzanadra was working at [[Senntisten]] to reestablish contact with Zaros. The other Zarosians were working to secure the area around the [[Mahjarrat]] ritual site to gain the upper hand. The leader of these Zarosians was Nex.

+
+
Gaining even more power whenever she battled, Nex was considered unstoppable. The forces of Saradomin were eventually able to imprison the powerful Zarosian army around the beginning of the [[Third Age]]. After great effort and sacrifice, they managed to lead Nex and the Zarosian army into a large ice cavern and then enchant them into a frozen sleep. Afterwards, the [[Saradomin]] forces built the [[Temple of Lost Ancients]] around it.
+
+
Many years after that event, a flock of [[aviantese]] were ambushed by an army of demons while transporting a newly created [[Godsword]] through the mountains. Because of their small numbers, they were forced to retreat into the temple. Eventually, reinforcements arrived from each side and the battle grew. Thus the battle of the godsword began.
+
+
Much later, Saradomin priests, one of them being [[Ashuelot Reis]], were approached by a mysterious figure who spoke of [[Guthix]]. He taught them that [[Guthix]] was the only god who could end the chaos and stop the war. The priests abandoned the cause of Saradomin and became followers of Guthix. Their new leader taught them the ways of druids, including an ancient ritual that had the power to awaken Guthix itself. The priests and their leader performed the ritual, but the result was unexpected and devastating. The priests accidentally reopened the prison, releasing Nex. Their leader, who had taught them the awakening ritual and the ways of Guthix revealed himself to be [[Sliske]], a Zarosian Mahjarrat.
+
+
Due to the length of the enchanted sleep, Nex was not at full strength. Despite this, she quickly laid waste to vast numbers from all sides. She was rapidly gaining power and soon she would be at full strength once again. For the first and last time in history, all sides stood together and, after an intense battle, managed to seal Nex behind the massive frozen door.
+
+
When the God Wars Dungeon was reopened to the world in modern times, the number of adventurers that entered it seeking the godsword had an effect on the prison of ice. The adventurers had ventured inside the gods' chambers and found pieces of the key to the sealed prison, and adventurers can now descend to the depths of the prison to do battle with Nex and her army.

*The plaque memorial in the safe and banking area reads: ''Vita brevis breviter in brevi finietur, Mors venit velociter quae neminem veretur, Omnia mors perimit et nulli miseretur'', which translated from the Latin means: "Life is short, and shortly it will end, Death comes quickly which respects no one, Death destroys everything and takes pity on no one." The inscription is taken from the lyrics to [[Wikipedia:Ad Mortem Festinamus|"Ad Mortem Festinamus"]], a medieval song which served as a memento mori, a reminder of the certainty of death.

*On 19 May 2011 there was a Quick Poll on which RuneScape character you would like to follow on Twitter. Nex was the option with the second highest number of votes.
+
*Her examine text, and the fact that all the opposing armies joined to seal her off during the God Wars, suggest that she has the power to challenge a god, in a similar way [[Zamorak]] did to [[Zaros]].
+
*Nex is one of the few monsters in RuneScape to have split drops from the initial amount; the other being the [[Kalphite King]]. Nex was the first monster in RuneScape to have split drops from the initial amount.
+
*Unlike the other God Wars generals, Nex and her bodyguards are not "ready to fight" in the prison. If there are no players inside the prison she and her bodyguards will despawn.
+
*Nex's original combat level of 1001 was a tribute to her release date, 10 January (10-01). This is no longer the case as her combat level was updated to 220.
+
*After [[Zaros]] was banished from Gielinor, it took 4 gods to imprison Nex, but in [[The World Wakes]] quest it only took 1 god, namely [[Saradomin]], to teleport her back to her prison. One reason would probably be that the gods created the seal, but used their forces to send the Zarosians to the area instead of actually fighting with them. Also, as implied by Ashuelot Reis, Nex was incredibly weakened by the spell.
+
*Before the Instanced God Wars update, there was a bug where Nex, despite being stun immune and a very large monster, using the Kick ability on her moved her back one space in the direction the player kicked at. Attempting to use the Kick ability sucesfully on her now results in the message "You can't knock that back!", which is unique as doing this on others like the Kalphite King result in "This creature is too large to knock back!"
*With the Instanced God Wars Dungeon update, Nex's minions are now immune to attack until she has told their name. Before this update, players could use attacks on her minions, although it did not do any damage on them. With the update, attempting to attack them results in "This minion is still drawing power from Nex."

**However, it is still possible to gain adrenaline with abilities that do not involve damage, such as the defensive skills, [[Escape]] and [[Surge]]. It is unknown whether or not this is an oversight from Jagex.
