He is a prominent member of the Coalition that has been working towards peace between the two groups, and is the son of the king of Rodoroc.

From the Mountains
Axelus is in Bucie seeking ways to gather support against the government in Rodoroc when the player finds him. They both head out to Arnod's house to figure out the source of the fires, which turns out to be the presence of a spooked Fleris. Upon further investigation, Axelus and the player discover an abandoned cart used by traffickers to transport Flerisi. He tasks the player with catching the rest of the escaped Flerisi. Eventually he and the player reconvene and Axelus discusses his plans for after the investigation against the traffickers closes, stating that he has things to attend to back home.

Dwarves and Doguns Part I
He first explains to the player that, contrary to public belief, the Doguns are not demons and protests the live execution of Doguns at a Dwarven festival. He then sends the player to the Library of Flames, where they find proof of Dwarven propaganda, and welcomes the player to the Coalition to try to bring peace between Dwarves and Doguns. He sends the player with a dragon bone to try to win over the Doguns at the end of the quest.

Dwarves and Doguns Part II
When the Dwarves discover the Dogun's Retreat, Axelus and Korzim break into a meeting and talk with the Dogun Chieftain. Eventually, they all agree that Axelus and the player will sabotage the Dwarven Armoury and Rodoroc's Power Core to try to avoid a war. He then tries to convince his father, the Dwarven king, to seek peace as well, but fails and is eventually jailed for his repeated attempts.

Dwarves and Doguns Part IV
He is freed by the player and helps them to get to the Dogun ritual site to defeat Garaheth, but, after Garaheth is defeated, he is killed by the Dogun Chief while trying to get the two armies to stop fighting, as punishment for his actions against Garaheth. Before he dies, he asks the king to call off the army and negotiate for peace, and the king obliges.
