Magicians of Xanth
The Magicians of Xanth are a subset of fictional characters from the Xanth series of fantasy genre novels by Piers Anthony (b. 1934). The Magicians are usually humans. They possess powerful magical abilities and so, are the only humans who are able to take the role of ''King of Human Xanth''. Magicians who are female may be called ''Sorceresses''. This article describes the Magicians of Xanth, who are listed alphabetically.
== Aeolus ==
Aeolus, the eighteenth King of Xanth, is known as the ''Magician of Storms''. His predecessor was Good Magician Humfrey who discovered his abilities when he was six. Aeolus became King of Xanth at twenty-two and ruled until his death at ninety-three in ''A Spell for Chameleon''. Four years into his reign, Aeolus made an edict that anyone born without a magic talent would be exiled from Xanth. In his later years, Aeolus fell into senility, a fact he never acknowledged.
In ''Question Quest'', Good Magician Humphrey has flashbacks that give details as to how Humphrey found Aeolus, how Aeolus became king and how he made his edict.
Later in the series, in ''Xone of Contention'', Magician Grey and Robota, a golem, travel back in time to the events of ''A Spell for Chameleon''. They meet Aeolus and learn he is not the fool he appears: Aeolus keeps his soul in a ''soular cell'' that was created centuries before by Magician Yin/Yang. The cell prevents the aging and death of the person whose soul is held within. However, the cell cannot undo ageing that occurred before the person's soul was stored. Aeolus' magic resides with his soul and he only removes his soul from the cell when he needs to use it. Aeolus claims he does not need his soul, day to day, and that he feigns senility in order to avoid mundane tasks but Grey realises that Aeolus' unconscionable behaviour is the result of his lack of soul. Aeolus' efforts to stave off death fail and he succumbs shortly after the departure of Magician Grey and Robota. He was succeeded by Magician Trent.
