Xerxes is a wandering assassin who was banished from his homeland. He secretly hopes to return and destroy those who have overthrown the Zoroark king he revered. As he carries out his assassin work, he often runs into a rival bounty hunter named Vincent who makes his life harder.

Story

Banished from his Homeland

Xerxes served his king, Sarraja, without question. The Zoroark was a part of the royal order, and one of their finest warriors. When Sarraja was bested by Ceres and digested by her, the royal army disbanded quickly, either being eaten by her friends or being forcibly exiled.

Xerxes survived this session, but tried to kill Ceres. He was taken down by the new queen and was even close to being swallowed by her next, but instead she decided to slice his cheeks open, knowing that Xerxes was known for his dashing and handsome face. The royal warrior was shamed publicly, his reptile-like mouth horrifying many. Afterwards, he was exiled.

Plotting Revenge

Xerxes spent years afterwards planning his eventual campaign of vengeance against Ceres and her crew. He became a stealthy assassin who used playing cards to slaughter his prey. After two unsuccessful attempts, the second nearly getting him caught, the Zoroark went into hiding for another few years, trying to collect his bearings.

Personality

Xerxes is filled with contempt and hatred for those who banished him and mangled his face. He is quite vain and concerned about his looks, which is why he wears the scarf over his muzzle. Fancying himself an assassin, Xerxes is dead set on improving his skills, thus hardly pays heed to anyone else except for his newfound love, Malice. He is persistent, as he keeps trying to impress her even if she isn’t interested in him.

Xerxes is highly respectful of those he looks up to. For example, the Zoroark still reveres his king, even if he is now gone. He believes he is destined to bring back the glory of his former King to the Zoroark domain, and for Ceres to digest inside him so that he can receive his power.

Forte/Skills

The Zoroark assassin’s skills lie in the use of his illusory powers and the weaponization of his playing cards. While he had a standard set of dark type skills, he uses his sharp claws and cards to physically strike at his foes. His illusion powers are powerful, but not quite up to the level of Ceres’, the female Zoroark being able to completely change every aspect of her image to appear as something or someone else.

Xerxes also has the unique ability to bend shadows and blend into them, aiding his stealthy approach to his targets.
