Background
Anaxagoras was a poor, lonely and curious child who was thrown out of temples for asking why the gods fear death. He lost his parents early, and his older sister Diotima paid for his books. She died to the black tide while he traveled to the Grove, and he gave up his left eye in a ritual to say goodbye to her. He studied under Empedocles, founded his own school, and was branded a blasphemer for teaching that the souls of Titans and humans are the same.
Spoiler warning: the rest of this section covers the Amphoreus story.
When the Grove fell, Anaxa died, and the Titan Cerces placed the Reason Coreflame in his chest to bring him back. He proved that the world runs in cycles, then backed the Flame-Chase and tore the Coreflame out of his own chest before an assembly, and his body crumbled. In the Final Cycle he returned as the Titan of Reason, fought Irontomb, said goodbye on the Astral Express, and entered the book As I've Written, where his mind lives on with all of Amphoreus. His sister Diotima is restored there too.
