This origin always confused me. It seemed a bit off from what was shown in the main show.
Also, was he the first of his race to gain time powers, or did they all have it?

In Wakfu, you gain powers and your race by following a god. He wasn't the first chronomancer, but
he was the most powerful chronomancer.

The way that I understand it, Nox might not have been the first to ever consider or attempt to
control time, but he was convinced that with the help of the cube he could do so in ways that
nobody had ever thought possible before as long as he had enough energy to power it. The origin
story really just shows that he's not exactly evil, because he's so sure of his own theory that
he's completely convinced that he can simply undo all the atrocities that he's committed to
accomplish his goal as soon as he gets enough power to make it happen. Therefore, the only way
for him to truly do 'wrong' is to fail in his mission, otherwise he can just rewind time and have
his family back, his life back, and all of the terrible things he had to do to get it would be
erased.
Unfortunately, his understanding of how time -actually- works is a little bit shaky, and he only
really realizes just HOW shaky once he's gone well beyond the moral event horizon into near
supervillain territory. It's pretty sad.

Not the OP, but basically in Wakfu you're born as a regular human, and as you worship or resemble
a particular god you come to resemble them. So you could look like an old dude by 20 if you're a
really greedy hoarder like Enutrof, or turn into a catperson like an Ecaflip if you like
merchanting or gambling.
Most Xelors as far as I understand can't control time even a tiny amount as well as Nox. Xelors
are limited mostly to speeding themselves up a little bit, maybe slowing specific things down,
things like that. So they all have time powers just nothing on the level of stopping time in even
a small area. Nox is mostly fueled by all the Wakfu he's taken in. His bug robots have been at
this shit for years, I think 200 might be mentioned somewhere.
As for his origin, there is that one scene with the automaton family he has acting out a scene,
plus he calls those super robots that fight Grugal something I think. He mentions "bringing them
back" or "starting again" quite a bit near the end.

Well, the dude's family died due to his neglect, and when he realizes it's all his fault he's
determined to absorb all the wakfu in the world in order to roll back time to before it all
happened and resurrect his family. Except that he finds out later that the reason that all Xelors
are limited to about 1-2 seconds of time rewinding is because each additional second of time you
roll back time adds an exponentially larger amount of wakfu drained to compensate. By the time he
finally accomplishes his goal and starts to roll back time, he only manages to get 20 minutes
into the past before he exhausts every single bit of wakfu he's stolen, including the power
that's keeping him alive. He realizes how bad he fucked up and just leaves and goes to lay down
at his family's grave site and die.

Yeah, I bought the kickstarter and got the wakfu seasons 1 and 2, although it feels like there's
stuff missing here and there I think.
It amazes me that the way they wrote it, nox would never have tested and calculated out the level
of power needed to hit 200 years.
There's a lot that's really nifty about Wakfu, and the stories and ideas behind it all, but after
it all shifted over to the online freemium game, I started backing off.
But thanks for the info on all that.

except he did calculate it... but his formula was wrong. Like all his inventions in the past,
this one had one single glaring flaw that kept it from working.
