	References are made to Clipson's 'blue face' and 'black moustache', at moments of rage, and he is said to 'turn pale' at the mention of an especially terrible weapon, but this is poetic language and not to be taken literally. The 'E.' in his name is a clerical fiction: Clipson has no 'Middle name', but all official forms required one. Although unfazed by most of the [[Dark Order]]'s weapons he is wary of the wall-breaking cannon ''Zamzama'' and terrified at the mere mention of the wartime tunnelling machine known as the ''Midgard-Schlange''.

	Artaxerxes ~~Edgemont~~ Clipson, ~~sometimes called~~ '~~Aarth~~' or '~~Atreus~~', was a native of Planet [[Altronis]]~~; a scholar; part-time mystic;~~ companion of the [[dragon]] [[Traroth]], and a member of [[Ransom's Crew]].		Artaxerxes Clipson, a protagonist of ''[[Going South]]'', was a native of Planet [[Altronis]], companion of the [[dragon]] [[Traroth]], and a member of [[Ransom's Crew]].

	==~~Youth~~==		==Appearance and Personality==
	~~The son~~ of ~~equatorial natives transplanted to the Northern Hemisphere~~, ~~Artaxerxes was a strong believer in [[magic]] during the Fourth Age~~, ~~when most~~ of ~~Altronis considered such belief ridiculous. Though in childhood interested in the Natural Science, he graduated B.A. in Liberal Studies. At 16~~ years, he coöperated with Traroth and [[Nicole née Iaggi Ransom\|Nicole Iaggi]] in a power-raising spell against the corruption omnipresent on Altronis; but afterward offended Nicole, and did not see her for the next 30 years.		"He was of middle height, though had once been counted tall; of middle girth, though once counted thin; of middle years, though once counted young" (from ''Going South'').

	~~==Adult Life==~~		Otherwise only vaguely described: references are made to Clipson's 'blue face' and 'black moustache', at moments of rage, but this is poetic language and not to be taken literally. The 'E.' in his name is a clerical fiction: Clipson has no 'Middle name', but all official forms required one.
	~~In his middle 30s,~~ Clipson ~~joined Ransom~~'s ~~Crew~~, ~~under the name~~ of ~~[[Andromachus Slade]]~~, ~~never knowing that Nicole was also a member. As Slade, A~~.E. ~~was loyal to Ransom, and useful; but~~ his ~~flippant speech annoyed Crewmate~~ '~~Hammer~~', ~~who therefore suspected him of half-heartedness; partial inward disloyalty; or even betrayal. No confirmation appeared of these;~~ but ~~Hammer's 2nd catch-phrase was nevertheless 'Shut up, Slade'~~.

	==~~Later Life~~==		==History==
	After his years with Ransom's Crew, Clipson and Traroth settled elsewhere; Traroth a sire already, but Clipson newly married and the father of 2 sons. Man and dragon were afterward invoked by [[Nathan Ransom]] to rescue his mother and [[Jonas R. Work]] from the '[[Dark Order]]~~' avenging both corpocracy and their own magical defeat~~. Clipson and Traroth attempted rescue, killing some of the ~~Dark Order~~; but final rescue was by [[Marcus Ransom]] himself, who slew the enemy's leader, [[Elias Grimshaw]].		The son of equatorial natives emigrated to the Northern Hemisphere, Artaxerxes was something of a misfit all his life. At 16 years, he and Traroth and [[Nicole née Iaggi Ransom\|Nicole Iaggi]] befriended the mysterious Cara Danvers, and helped her claim her inheritance. By a careless remark afterward, Clipson offended Nicole, and did not see her for the next 30 years. Though in childhood interested in the Natural Science, he graduated B.A. in Liberal Studies, and M.A. in Arts and Humanities.
