Minax was a fictional evil enchantress in the second Ultima game and one of its main villains. The Avatar slew Minax’s minions and did eventually destroy her as well.
Showing huge magical potential in her youth, she was recruited as an apprentice by dark wizard Mondain. The young sorceress later fell in love with Mondain. She survived her paramour's death at the hands of the Stranger and went into hiding. Underestimated because of her youth, Minax was furious at the death of her tutor (and lover). Revenge set itself within her dark heart. As her talent for magic and capacity of malevolence far exceeded Mondain's, Minax decided to take control of the evils of the world without the gem.
Ten years later, Minax is now older and very powerful, more than Mondain once was. Minax wants to avenge the death of her lover; thus, after much research, she learns of the Stranger's homeworld. To destroy her "bane's homeworld", she uses dimensional and time gates to set up the Time of Legends, a place located at the Origin of Times. Thus she will be able to attack everybody living "after" this period in that reality without risking being killed like Mondain, since it is impossible to travel in time to before the Origin of Times. To ensure the Stranger would not interfere with her plans for vengeance, Minax invaded his homeworld of Earth. Once there, she used her dark powers to disturb the fabric of time and destroyed the planet. After the Stranger's death, she would be able to conquer Sosaria easily. Twenty years after the death of Mondain, Minax invaded Sosaria with her legions of Darkness.
At some point, Minax wrote a love poem for Mondain, shown at the library on Monk Isle in Ultima 7 Part II: Serpent Isle. It is unknown if this poem was written while Mondain was alive.
Lord British called for a hero to crush Minax's evil plans. The Stranger, having narrowly escaped the destruction of Earth, answered British's call. Minax's castle, named Shadowguard, could only be reached through timegates (similar to moongates in the later games); even then an enchanted ring was required to pass through the force fields inside. The war against Minax's vile legions was long and hard, but eventually the hero hunted down the sorceress, pursued her as she teleported throughout the castle, and destroyed her with the quicksword Enilno.
With the dark energies released with the death of Minax in her castle of Shadowguard, the lands of Sosaria changed once again, reforming into two continents: Sosaria proper and Ambrosia. But unbeknownst to all, Mondain and Minax had produced a progeny, Exodus - an entity that was neither man nor machine.
