Hypaxia's identity is revealed during the Summit when she is officially recognized as the new Witch Queen by the Asteri. She later sends a sample of the resulting synth antidote to Bryce as a thank you, inadvertently saving Bryce from overdosing on the drug during her fight with Micah Domitus. They go to see Hypaxia, who successfully extracts and stabilizes the kristallos venom. Ruhn mentions to Bryce and Hunt that his medwitch contact needs more kristallos venom if they happen to get some, which leads Bryce to turn to Hypaxia for help when Hunt encourages her to have the scar on her leg checked out due to it constantly hurting her. She provides Ruhn with research information about Synth and tells him to let her know if he can get his hands on some venom from a kristallos demon so she can continue her research on trying to create an antidote for a Synth overdose. She is working as a medwitch in Lunathion to get a taste of normal life before being formally crowned as the Witch Queen, after having spent most of her early life in seclusion. She is helping Ruhn while he is investigating Synth and the drug's origins. Hypaxia is mentioned when the Autumn King informs Ruhn of his intentions to betroth Ruh to the new Witch Queen.
Hypaxia found a way to stop her mother's soul from going to an eternal resting place like the Bone Quarter knowing she would be harvested as second light if she did. One of her tutors, Palania was born in the city surrounding it and tells Hypaxia about the peaceful realm where the dead went before the arrival of the Asteri and the creation of places like the Bone Quarter. They remember the time when Parthos still stood. Hypaxia’s undead tutors predate the Asteri’s arrival and were long dead before the Northern Rift opened. Because of her necromancer abilities, she was educated by three dead tutors in form of ghosts. Upon the wishes of her mother, Queen Hecuba Enador, Hypaxia grew up in near solitude. Not much is known about Hypaxia's early life.
