Ixia is another plane of existence from ours, connected to Earth through Astral gates.

Summary

South Ixia is the 52nd state of the United States.[1] North Ixia is a battleground.[2] The US government is sending aid to Ixia as part of their military campaign, drawing opposition from the Friends of Humanity.[3]

Wrecker is known as The Butcher of Ixia.[4] He fought in the fields of North Ixia.[2]

Ixia is a tourism destination.[5]

Ixians

Ixians are the origin of what were historically known as Demons. After the first Maelstrom, some Ixians have immigrated to Earth, leading to a new population of Earth-born Ixians. Infernus and Grey Talon's daughter-in-law are some of them.[6]

Some Ixians have a supernatural control of fire, manifested in Infernus and in Grey Talon's daughter-in-law. Even though Abrams is Ixian[7], he isn't currently known to have control over fire.

Some Ixians, like Abrams, have horns and blue skin.

Trivia

  • An early design of Infernus had a tail.
  • Abrams has spikes in The Binding of Oathkeeper artwork.
  • Ixia's name may have been inspired by the planet Ix from Dune, whose inhabitants are also known as Ixians.

That is the plane that characters that we refer to as "demons" would have historical roots in. That being said though, at this time in the world of Deadlock there are plenty of Ixians that are born on Earth: Infernus and Grey Talon's daughter-in-law (RIP). There are military operations happening in Ixia right now."
