Xavius is a Spellblade Elf Thane portrayed by Roamin in The Sunswords campaign.

Characteristics

Personality

Xavius openly admits that he still has feelings for Gwyneth Sunsword, and he is generally seen acting as a jealous ex-boyfriend would. He often takes jabs at Gwyneth's love interest at the time, Kallark, and even attempts to grow a better beard (through magic) to get Gwyneth's attention. Gwyneth, however, claims that Xavius is conceited and that he is only attracted to power.

Xavius displays some very selfish personality traits. He is willing to manipulate Gwyneth, using her confusion (caused by the work of the Leader's Heartoak Staff acquired by Dave) to try and force her to date him again. He was also willing to use the body of the unconscious Ian Bates to shield himself from an approaching arrow, resulting in Ian's death. Finally, he froze Kallark with a Ray of Frost in order to steal his Tambok Ticket (unfortunately destroying the ticket in the process) and then lied to Gwyneth, saying that Kallark simply got drunk.

History

Background

At some point before the Sunswords campaign, Xavius was in a relationship with Gwyneth Sunsword. According to Xavius, the relationship only deteriorated due to long distance and lack of communication.

The Sunswords

Xavius is a member of the squad tasked with escorting a carriage full of prisoners to the Silver Mine Mountains. The squad is under the command of Xavius' former girlfriend, Gwyneth Sunsword, and her current boyfriend, Kallark. Right from the start, Xavius displays some distaste for Kallark. Xavius is ordered to supervise the latest elf recruits, particularly the nervous Ian Bates.

While traversing a Ytt-inhabited canyon, a wounded Ian Bates is saved from certain death by Xavius who yanks Ian out of the way of a large rolling boulder with Draggin Lightning. However, moments later, the self-preserving Thane would use the same ability on Ian to block a misfired arrow, killing Ian. At the end of the canyon, every member of the team - except for Kallark - is scolded by Gwyneth for their sloppy performance, and Xavius is demoted.

Xavius and Rufio are then tasked with burying Ian Bates while the others set up camp to rest. Likely jealous of Kallark, Xavius makes use of the Spell of Bearding in an attempt to gain Gwyneth's attention. When two goblin merchants approach the team to offer their wares, Xavius and his Elven crew attack the goblins on instinct, killing one and arresting the other. After finally getting a moment to rest, Xavius is unexpectedly approached by his young cousin, Phineas, who has come bearing cookies for Xavius. Gwyneth allows the adventurous young Elf to tag along with the team under Xavius' supervision. Before the caravan crew carries on, Xavius learns that Gwyneth is carrying Kallark's child.

When the group encounters a blazing barn swarming with fire elementals, Xavius keeps a watchful eye on his young cousin who is instructed to remain with the prison carriage. Xavius is quick to respond to the Flame Spooky that emerges from the inferno, however, he struggles to connect his attacks against the terror and accidentally tosses away his Dwarven Runeblade.

The group comes across a bridge with an ogre blocking the way. The ogre requests a Tambok Ticket as payment for safe passage. Coincidentally, only Xavius and Kallark own a ticket, but neither one is willing to give up his treasure. Gwyneth tries to persuade Xavius to give up his ticket which results in an argument between the two where Xavius confesses that he still has feelings for Gwyneth. The two are interrupted by Kallark who oddly displays a significant amount of affection towards Xavius (due to the Leader's Heartoak Staff). Kallark then invites Xavius to have a private conversation behind the carriage where Xavius is met with a half naked Kallark. This awkward moment is cut short by Phineas attacking Kallark and usurping leadership of the party. Several minutes later, Xavius finds Phineas making out with Bob. After witnessing his cousin flip through a range of emotions, Xavius blasts Kallark with a Ray of Frost in an attempt to swipe the ticket so that the group may move on. Unfortunately, the spell was more potent than expected, and the fragile ticket is destroyed while Kallark is frozen solid. Luckily for Xavius, he is not forced to give up his ticket as he points out that the ogre is in no condition to fight because it is suffering from a seizure, allowing the group to slip by.

Near the end of the journey, the crew falls into trap set by one of the prisoners, Jakelad. The devious Porc summons many of his allies to assault the caravan and cover his escape. Against his better judgement, Xavius allows Phineas to release the remaining prisoners in this desperate moment. Fortunately, the prisoners choose to fight alongside Gwyneth's squad and play a significant part in shifting the battle in favor of Xavius and his allies. The Porc ambushers are eventually defeated, although Jakelad is able to escape and Gwyneth has lost her unborn child in a tragic occurrence. With the mission completed, Phineas says farewell to his cousin and heads back home. Kallark, however, seems to have suddenly disappeared leaving Gwyneth to spitefully accept Xavius back as her boyfriend.

Fate

Unknown after the events of The Sunswords.
