BIO
• Approximately one century ago now there rose a barbarous warlord. His clan reaped havoc across a swathe of Ferox, living true to the belief of might making right. He rose and rose, right up until the abrupt end and the passing of his name into the annals of history. And many would come to follow this warlord upon his spree of slaughter. One such man was General Johannes.
• Johannes was the forefather of Xanthe and General to the barbarous warlord who's name has come to fade into the annals of Ferox's history. He aided the barbarian king in his ascent to power and was prepared to launch his own offensive against the Western Khan of the era before the barbarian king's life came to an end. While he strove to keep the clan together until a new leader rose, others split and ran. Instituting plans to consolidate power under the Khan's nose, the clan would be prepared for when they rose again.
• Xanthe is the granddaughter of Johannes and the new General that his risen in his place. In her childhood she met another girl of the clan and though it was only brief, the future warrior found the event replaying in her mind on occasion. Then it was in early adulthood when she met that girl again and a name was put to the face of Sakalam. Though their visit was once more a brief one, Xanthe found herself sometimes wondering what it was that seemed different about Sakalam from the rest of the faces in the crowd. And with the passing of the dread barbarian king, a new leader rose to power over the clan. Sakalam herself, as events would prove.
• In the current day, Xanthe is charged with oversight of the clan while Sakalam has risen to power as the Eastern Khan. With a focus on power grabbing, Xanthe finds herself in a time of peace. She expects a visit from Sakalam at some point or another and does not know just what she shall say to the barbarian woman turned Khan of Ferox. The mass destruction of vessels along the coasts by the reappearance of Grima has also caused a problem with trade routes that their ships once sailed. While the clan is still much better off on supplies and resources than most of Ferox, Xanthe is concerned about managing them carefully and often hears complaints from other territorial leaders to give them her excess.
• For the most part however, the clan has known peace and Xanthe lived a dull life of ease while continuing her forefather's plans. She enjoyed the thrill of the hunt and often engaged in it during her idle time. The General kept her standing army well trained and ready to go at a moment's notice. The Western Khan was often curious of this and Xanthe was quick to explain the action as a precaution for those who might seek to raid them. While the Khan had accepted the explanation, there was still occasions of suspicious eying, though the Khan remained unaware of her clan's true identity. During her hunting, Xanthe came across a particularly hearty Wyvern who proved a true challenge to capture. The General decided to train this vicious Wyvern for herself, naming him Bloodseeker and intending to turn him into a true war steed that would strike fear into whoever saw their approach.
• And a war steed Bloodseeker would prove when Xanthe finally grew tired of the Western Khan peeping about here and there. The General took her time and planned in secret a lightning campaign to seize the position for herself and the betterment of the Clan. Striking hard and fast, the aerial forces of The General handily took out various key strategic locations while also managing to eliminate potential resistance and destroying those loyal to the Western Khan. Reports of Xanthe's own location would vary rapidly and every time a report was received about her taking a position, a new one would immediately follow with a new sighting, a new capture, and so on. The Phantom Rider began to build a dreaded reputation and her Raven Elite soared fast through the skies while eliminating their prey.
• Eventually Xanthe and her forces arrived at the former Khan's base of operations and slew all that opposed them, though the old Khan managed to escape after a fearsome defense by the guards. Alas though, the damage was done and the position was now firmly in the grasp of the dread rider. With few pockets of resistance now remaining, the new Western Khan's fearsome tactics and startling rise from the unknown has left her in a position to lord over most of the West without fear of rebellion. However, Xanthe is careful to not overreach her newly gained power and currently strides towards peaceful resolutions with the remaining foes.
OTHER
-Xanthe's face seems to be stuck in an eternally relaxed sort of appearance with her lips pursed and eyes half-lidded. Those who've known her long enough can see the more subtle changes that do show however, such as the slightest of curls at the edges of her lips or the positions of her eyelids.
-Xanthe hunts and captures creatures such as Wyverns, Pegasi, and even the very rare Gryphon for training as mounts for her army, training even for the harsh weather conditions of Ferox during the winter season. After her rise to the position of Western Khan, Xanthe has instituted breeding programs for the various beasts.
-Bloodseeker is about 1.5x the usual size of a Wyvern with pitch black scales and a great number of scars from fights in the wild, as well as a few from the vicious hunt that Xanthe had engaged in to capture him. He is possessed of a violent temperament and will barely tolerate a rider unless it is Xanthe herself, having established her dominance over the beast.
-Her weaponry is handmade from forging techniques passed down her family line.
-Xanthe likes to smoke a pipe during her idle time and has plenty of it in recent years.
-Often referred to as "The General" or simply "General" by her soldiers, even after becoming the Western Khan. Xanthe does not seem to care one way or another.
-Personal Motto: "Only I know that I am happy with I have."
-Public Motto: "One Regnum."
-Emblem: Dual-Headed Raven
-Favorite Food: Beef Stew
