Saxifragus is a diminutive but powerful wizard and friend to Astragal. Saxifragus was seemingly trapped within the fortress of Sharrabbas after the death of Segrek. He was the court wizard of Segrek, and was well versed in the lore of the Fortress and of the process of succession. Saxifragus knew the magical incantations to open the way to the Heart of the Throne and in muttering the words "Inxus Askath Loth Begamus Krac" opened the secret entrance to the Heir of Segrek.
