Summary of "Styx: Blades of Greed | Previously on Styx - Story Trailer"

Short summary

The trailer is a first-person recap by Styx, a goblin-like master thief. It covers his origin, how he became a mercenary, and the events that put him in conflict with a fanatical Inquisition over a new, dangerous resource called Quartz.

Storyline

Styx was not born but cloned from amber to serve a master; he rebelled and killed that master.
He became a mercenary, taking risky jobs for pay and infiltrating fortified locations such as the tower of Akenash.
In Korrangar he discovered Quartz, a new, more powerful material than amber that contains a living force called the Flux (which can “talk back”).
Stealing Quartz led Styx to form a crew. Internal betrayals and attempts on each other turned the group into a dysfunctional team.
Their thefts of Quartz across the Iserian continent attracted the attention of the Inquisition, who want the Quartz recovered.
Styx ends up captured or otherwise compromised but implies he has a plan and invites players to continue the story by playing the game.

Styx frames himself as a “master of stealth,” and the Flux in Quartz is described as being able to “talk back.”
