Xaxxas is Alindaloran's Eredar brother. When Their father decided to flee Argus only Alindaloran went with him, Xaxxas chose to remain with his mother. Before he was raised into undeath Xaxxas was a powerful Warlock and Necrolyte, learning from Orcs that were brainwashed by Kil'jaeden. He witnessed the death of his mother at his brother's hand and took his own life after realizing he was no match for his brother's might. As a Death Knight of the scourge he remained just as cruel, but now all the more blood thirsty.


 * "You speak of mercy? Why should I show anyone mercy? I wasn't shown mercy in death, these damned servants are just standing in my way of getting my revenge!"-Xaxxas speaking to Alindaloran

Biography
Like his brother, Xaxxas comes from a line of warriors, however he shared his mother's affinity for magic which eventually got him tied into the demonic Burning Legion

Early Life and the Orcs of Draenor
For the most of his life Xaxxas grew up without a father, his mother took him with her when Sargeras offered the Eredar power unimaginable. It was under her and other powerful eredar Warlocks that he learned his craft and his specialization in unholy magic. For a time while Kil'jaeden was rallying the orcs to kill off his "blind" brother, Xaxxas was trying to discover effective ways to combat the light, he learned that certain disciples of Kil'jaeden had become sorcerers that were able to ressurect the dead and then bind them to their will. He searched for these Necrolytes who would teach him their art, already being a warlock binding forcing a creature to bend to his will was no problem, it was just finding the corpses that caused a bit of an issue.

As he grew in power he rose through the ranks of the Burning Legion becoming a commander like his mother was. He commanded vast armies of demons, and was one of the few Eredar with necromantic powers, which Xaxxas used to his advantage. Should one of his demons disobey him, all he needed to do was kill off the renegade and bring them back into undeath, which worked to make other demons fear him. He also would use these powers to craft undead armies for himself comprised of the most powerful foes that he faced. When he defeated an enemy he would resurrect them as one of the mindless dead, their powers were great and as such he used these resurrected enemies as his own personal guard.

Death and Deceit
After falling to his death, Xaxxas' corpse fell upon the lands of the Eastern Plaguelands where a wayward Necromancer by the name of Kalithazz collected his corpse. The necromancer summoned his minions to aid him in transporting the corpse to the dark fortress known as Acherus, his body was placed among all the other corpses of heroes that had been collected. Three days after been transported Instructor Razuvious ordered Kalithazz to raise Xaxxas to be measured, to see if he had it in him to be a merciless killing machine, a Death Knight. Xaxxas felt a familiar energy... one that he had once used before, coursing through his body again, causing him to live. When he opened his eyes he looked at his skin, it had gone from its once demonic red to a sickly green, as did his once black hair... he looked around noticing a human channeling a spell, once the human had stopped and Xaxxas was on his feet, the feeling left him... now the only thing he felt was something similar to standing in near frozen waters. More necromancers gathered around him placing dark armor upon him, it had a slight green glow... hearing one word constantly "Saronite".

For a time a voice whispered to him, telling him that he served a false king, one that would betray him and his allies and it was right. At the Battle for Light's Hope Chapel the Lich King revealed his true intentions, announcing that their lives were meaningless. Xaxxas did join the Knights of the Ebon Blade, but he still listened to the voice he kept hearing, it told him to go to Northrend because it was there that Xaxxas would get his revenge, and it promised to help him kill the Lich King. Xaxxas followed the instructions of his supposed benefactor, to the frozen mountains of the Storm Peaks. It was there that he met up with the servants of his supposed ally, the voice told him that they were called the Iron Dwarves. These odd looking dwarves took Xaxxas deep inside of a titan city in the area known as Ulduar where he met his ally. Calling herself Sara she told him of the keepers of the city and how she had corrupted them as well as offering him a blessing from the old gods to return him to his Perfect form, as their conversation progressed the image of Sara seemed to be engulfed by one of a monster. Trying to hide his fear Xaxxas finished the conversation by rejecting her offer and fleeing.

After successfully escaping Ulduar, Xaxxas traversed the lands of Northrend working towards Icecrown... he remains in those frozen wastes looking for a weapon with which he could exact his perfect revenge upon the Lich King for all that had been done.

Personality
Xaxxas is one of the Man'ari Eredar, because of this he never showed anyone sympathy or mercy, he would only see others as tools that he could use to further his progression. This has not changed in death, regardless of the person or their authority Xaxxas considers them to be beneath him. Undead minions he summons usually are of little use to him, fighting temporarily or being summoned only as a sacrifice to the darkness so that he may fight longer. In both life and death he had little respect for a person's life, if they were an ally, once they were of no more use to him (while they were alive) he would kill them and then promptly raise them into undeath to serve him a bit longer. He will also use whatever means and whoever he chooses to further his goals, he has no regrets or remorse of what might happen to the pawn he uses.

Abilities
Xaxxas has a natural affinity for Shadow magic, as an Eredar he was able to weild both Shadow and Fel freely, since his ressurection as a death knight he has since lost the ability to control Fel magics. Of the three schools of dark magic that the Knights of the Ebon Blade teach Xaxxas favors the schools of Frost and Unholy over Blood. He uses frost magic when he wants to draw out the suffering of his victim longer, using the icy winds of Northrend to cause cold burns and extract information from his enemies and allies alike. He uses his unholy powers to cause mass destruction, and sow deadly disease to systematically destroy populations.
