User:Ciann/Xanthier

Basic Information
Full Name: Xanthier M. Cilnos Nickname: Xan Race: Human Class: Rogue Height: 6'0" Age: 29 Hair: Red. Currently cut short, but worn long before his foray into Northrend. Eyes: Blue-Green

Guild and Associations:


 * Argent Exodus
 * Light in the Shadow (disbanded) - Leader
 * The Golden Hand (disbanded after sudden death of leaders) - Squire
 * Defenders of Rodentia (Xan's involvement in this strange group of Kobold sympathizers is inexplicable. He was there only to assist with the founding, but he seemed to enjoy occasionally running around Goldshire yelling "You no take candle!")

Friends:


 * Milori Magnol (His mother, but he avoids her constantly)
 * Ciann Magnol (Xan's only threat to being found by the Magnol, he managed to convince her to keep quiet. Ciann has a hard time holding back this secret from Milori, but remains respectful to Xan's wish.)
 * Liatania Cilnos Magnol (Xan's sister, and the only member of his immediate family he ever speaks to on a regular basis.)
 * Craft Ramsay (His "boss" of sorts. When inducted into the Golden Hand, Lady Aaren placed Xanthier in Craft's care and guidance. It's unknown if Craft puts up with Xan out of friendship, favor to Ciann, or duty to his Order as he does seem rather annoyed by Xan's antics. Craft also seems a bit perturbed that Xan seems a lot like himself. After Craft's "death" and return, he allowed Xanthier back into the reformed Argent Exodus.)
 * Alunya Wildpetal (Formerly Xan's "guardian" Alunya now watches over Xanthier when necessary, but she's felt her debt to him has been repaid.)

Enemies:


 * None....that he knows of. It's hard to make enemies when you don't do much of anything.

Physical Appearance
Xanthier has the look of someone who's been on the run for quite a while. His red-brown hair is long and wild, but well-groomed. Once he forayed into Northrend, Xan decided he was tired of the long hair and had it cut short.

He has a slight beard and moustache, evident of someone who's gone a week or two without shaving, yet it seems even and clean.

His body is wiry, and he looks like he'd be fairly agile. His skin is light, but has a bit of color to it. It seems evident he spends quite a bit of time outside. His blue-green eyes, although honest, seem be show a bit of instability.

The sleeve of his shirt has the remnants of a torn-in-half patch. It's hard to recognize, due to years of dirt and sunlight fading its color to a dull brown, and leaving most of it tattered. The only identifiable parts are a flower bud of some sort, and the letters "M" and "a".

Personality
The jury's out on this one. Xan is a nutjob. He spends most of his time cracking jokes, playing pranks, laughing at nothing, and acting like a general fool. He's always smiling about something, and rarely, if ever, takes anything seriously.

Xanthier is notoriously lazy, too. He's been known to sleep almost ANYWHERE (including the bank steps of Stormwind, the roof of Lion's Pride Inn, and a mine cart in Blasted Lands) and through ANYTHING (like the Qiraji assault, and the second Scourge invasion)

Xan has a weird affinity for horses, and is known for visiting the Stormwind Orphanage (after having first been tasked by Vaida during the Golden Hand days) just to play with the miniature horse figures, or "horsie toys" as he calls them.

He has a tendency, when asked to create or submit official documents, to not take them seriously at all. He'll often phrase them in strange wording, or drift greatly off topic. There's also a good chance he'll up covering them in crudely drawn doodles, usually of himself or horses.

Xan is known for acting strangely around new people, often spouting off the most random phrases. He seems to gain a bit more "sanity" once he's known someone long enough, but no one has ever bothered to ask him why this is.

= Backstory =

Xanthier was concieved (in all forms of the word) to be one of the greatest mages the Magnol Clan would ever see. Born of the formerly tumultuous relationship of the now Grand Priestess Milori Magnol and accomplished Cilnos Mage, Gerheim, Xanthier (named for the Malic Xanthe word for "Great Mage") was their promise that their union would not bring ruin and embarrassment to their respective clans. However, Xanthier's aptitude for the arcane was less than promising. It didn't help matters that he showed no real will to improve, often playing pranks on classmates and teachers alike. Naturally, with so much riding on his "success" his parents began to come down hard on him. Despite increased pressure on him, Xanthier failed to improve in any way. One final push had Xan's parents locking him in his room until he had managed to master a single spell. He instead devoted his time to undoing the lock on his window. He crept out of his room, and snuck off to the waypoint, never to be seen at Magnol Manor again.
