Old Styx

The Old Styx is the leader of the Styx, the main antagonists of the Tunnels series. Like his name suggests, he is an aging man with graying black hair and wrinkled skin. He is the father of the Crawfly and the grandfather of the Rebecca Twins, and is the head of the ruling Styx family in the Colony (an underground city). He is a major leader in the Styx's plan to take over the surface of the Earth (Topsoil).

Tunnels:
The Old Styx appears when Chester Rawls is about to be banished to the Deeps of the Earth. He is brought before the Old Styx, but thinks he is kinder because he is older. This is false; when they lock eyes, Chester sees his are evil and cold. The Old Styx reads out the banishment sentence, and turns a deaf ear to Chester's pleading.
