History:

Xavier has a clean shaven head and a neatly trimmed goatee. His skin is darkly tanned as he spends much of his time outdoors. He is in excellent shape.

Xavier was orphaned as a infant. Taken in by a family who raised numerous fosterlings on a farm on the outskirts of Britain. He began relishing the peace and quiet of the surrounding woods at a young age.

By the time he was eight he had grown weary of the life of drudgery he was living. Though not overly unkind the foster parents used the fosterlings as cheap labor on the farm and provided nothing but the bare essentials...so he ran away.

Soon after he fell in with a ring of boys who were used as pickpockets and informants for a master thief named Drakus. He ran a scribe shop as a front and used the boys as messangers when they were not busy thieving.

The only good thing that came of working for Drakus was Xavier learned to read and write. By the time he was twelve Xavier had become a proficient burglar, have learned from expert thieves how to use the shadows as cover, or move around inattentive people, even how to apply a disguise to completely change his apperance. That year he officially joined the thieves guild.

A year later Xavier began to find himself in trouble with his master. He did not enjoy thieving and began to spend more and more time in Britain's massive library reading tales of adventure and heorism. He even began to purposely spoil burglaries as he had become completely dissatisfied with that sort of life. This of course drew the ire of Drakus and eventually lead to a falling out between the two of them.

Figuring Drakus would not leave him above ground with all he knew about the operation Xavier headed for the outskirts of Britain and returned to the woods of his childhood. He eventually made friends with some local rangers and learned how to shoot a bow and how to track game, becoming proficent at both.

He enjoyed his life in the woods but grew weary of having to worry about Drakus and his band, when Casca came into power that was the last straw for him, and he decided to head north where he hoped his skills would earn him a place in one of the towns there.

He chose Cove as he had read many tales of their Scouts and hoped to one day become one. He also enjoyed the fact that Cove was a small town, not overcrowded and dirty like Britain, and that the vast majority of the land was still woods. When he arrived he was surprised to learn that the Covian Army had disbanded and become a mercenary company, but he signed on anyways.

Before he even began his recruit trials the members of the Company had performed so many deeds successfully that Cove's coffers were once again full and the Covian Army was reinstated.

Soon after he made Watchman and was honored when Kal Shadowhand offered to mentor him as he began working towards the goal of becoming a member of the Covian Light Company.
