Shaxx

Lord Shaxx the manager of the Crucible, and is a vendor for Crucible-related items. He is found in the Tower near the Vanguards. He is assisted in his duties by Arcite 99-40, the Crucible Quartermaster. Lord Shaxx also serves as the announcer in the Crucible.

Biography
Shaxx fought in the Battle of Twilight Gap, leading the counterattack that routed the Fallen from the City's walls. After so many Guardians had fallen, Shaxx recognized the need for a tough training program so that the next generation of Guardians would be ready for whatever came next. So he created the Crucible, in an attempt to hone Guardians in preparation for another battle as tough as Twilight Gap. He plans to return to war when that day comes.

Shaxx takes his duties very seriously, as he sees the Crucible as less of a glorified arena and more of an intense training ground. He often laments that the current batch of Guardians don't measure up, and wishes that Commander Zavala would return to the Crucible to show the new recruits how its done. He also laments having to jockey with the different factions of the city, stating that they're "not in charge of the Crucible. I am." Although he is a Titan, he shows a lot of respect for the other guardian classes.
