Appearance:

Xaros is tall for a High Elf, at 7'4" tall, with long white hair, brown eyes, and a silver torc around his neck. He gives off an air of confidence and power.

Interaction:

Xaros is a polite, quiet man. If the party is making its way through the wilderness, he will approach them and say hello. He will ask if they are rescuing the elves, and if the party says they are, he will introduce himself as one of the elves' ambassadors, and will accompany the party to the elf village.

Background:

Xaros was born into the High Elf ruling family of Alenu'dra. He was raised to believe that he would be crowned king one day. When he was of age, he left home to explore the world. He traveled to many distant lands, learning many new fighting techniques. He also learned to respect the different peoples of the world, and became quite the uniter. He helped unify the armies of the Savage Frontier, and brought together the tribes of the North. His actions eventually led to him being crowned king of Alenu'dra. He ruled his people for many years, until he was confronted by the Tyrant of the North, who had conquered his homeland of Alenu'dra. The Tyrant, named Hrafndin, was the leader of the barbarians of the North, and he desired all of Alenu'dra's wealth for himself. Xaros challenged Hrafndin to single combat. Xaros lost, and was taken prisoner by Hrafndin. Hrafndin kept Xaros captive for years, torturing him. Eventually, Xaros escaped, and Hrafndin was killed. Xaros knew that the only way to protect his people was to align himself with a greater power.
