Xenos

Xenos is a main villain in the "Re:" series. He is the strongest Wraith created by the The Path, and is only succeeded by him.

Background
Shortly after The Path's betrayal of the other Surpreme Rulers, he began to experiment with the Elements he had stolen in order to create the perfect warrior and servant. After years of trial-and-error, Xenos was finally created.

Born in the core of the star, Xenos absorbed the star's power, leaving an empty vacuum as the fetus began to take form. Fingers grew from the fin-like arms, as well as legs from the tail. His flesh sealed the once-open maw and eyes, and slowly grew larger. As hormones began to activate, Xenos secreted a black liquid that covered his body. This continued for decades, with The Path keeping a watchful eye on the growth of the Wraith.

By the time that The Path invaded Styx and recruited both Vieg Neun and Aedan Damacus, Xenos had grown to adopt a humainoid figure. The liquid that covered his skin hardened into a substance that acted as his armor, and was nearly impossible to crack, let alone break. The Path neglected to inform Vieg about Xenos, wanting the Elf to think that he was his strongest soldier. Then, while Vieg was busy conquering Bloodfall, he sent Xenos to the planet of Equinax with no battle experience. There, he was almost killed numerous times before healing continously. With each near-death, Xenos became stronger and more aware of his abilities, but kept getting killed by the stronger Virgus Demons there. But to The Path's satisfaction and surprise, when Xenos killed a powerful demon, he absorbed its Element; namely, Darkness.

With this newfound power, he destroyed the Demons of Homeland and Gxyuis, then killing the Ruler of Demons, Omega before turning his attention to Shura, who was the leader of the Virgus Demons. Instead of killing him, The Path opted to enslave Shura, turning him into another Wraith.

Personality
Like many of the other Wraiths, Xenos was cold and merciless, even more so than the rest. His voice was flat and detached, not gaining any personality since his birth, and spoke bluntly, considering each word slowly, which meant he was serious about anything he said.

The only "quirk" that Xenos might have is pain. He likes to torture his opponents, effortlessly breaking their bones and rupturing organs while he watches them struggle.

Appearance
Most of Xenos' body is obscured by the natural armor he wears, darkened to a pitch black as it grew naturally to form spike at his shins, chest, and arms. The same is also true for his head; the liquid hardened and formed large spikes that reached out from his forehead, protecting his eyes that were just pools of black.

The armor covers his mouth and nose, so it is unknown how he speaks so clearly, whether it is by magic or his vocal cords are just that strong. A dark cape that resembles The Path's falls to his feet, tattered and ripped as it flows freely, even without wind. Slimy tendrils protrude from the back of his neck, written with white runes that glow brightly as they covered his only uncovered spot on his body. Two black blades rest on top of one another on his left hip, he neglects them always, instead using his powers to kill his victims.

Abilities
Xenos has abilities that many can only dream of having, including wielding the Elements of Light and Darkness at the same time, while having powers of Space.

His impressive healing powers are due to having Immortality directly in his bloodstream, like that of an Elf. However, he heals much faster than most, as he can repair broken bones and ripped muscles almost instantly, getting him back into the fight quickly.

In addition to having powerful magic abilities, his body is made of compact muscles, allowing him to use more physical strength that he visually looks. From this, his attacks are instantaneous and fierce, and can easily destroy an opponent with just his hands.

The War of The Path
For thousands of years, Xenos was inactive, with The Path keeping him secret and training the Wraith personally, not wanting to send him to the Great Beyond in fear of him gaining intelligence.

When the time came to invade the Earth, The Path waited until Vieg was dead and The Portal was alive. He was summoned to intercept Damion Battosai's journey to help his children. Most of Damion's attacks were useless, and Xenos forced him to use his first two Descension Forms: Dark and Pitch. Pitch's attacks (particularly Death's Grasp) were useless, but when Damion summoned the Dragon of Infinite Darkness, which drained the Vampire Lord of most of his power, it looked like he had won.

But Xenos had just absorbed the attack, and began to punish Damion, going to the lengths of breaking his ribs, fracturing his skull, and shattering the bones in his left arm. However, Damion continued to struggle, forcing himself to stand up despite the pain, Xenos began to crush his face. "Foolish. Accept your fate. All is fated to die as The Path creates a new world . . . a new universe . . . a new Utopia. I will grant you . . . a quick death."

However, as Damion came close to dying, he resorted to the transformation that was forbidden in the Nine Lords: his third Descension, Depraved. Within five seconds, Damion then struck holes in Xenos' armor, releasing a petaton of Elemental energy and threatening to kill Xenos. He then used the spell "Giver's End", and condemned Xenos to "an eternity of immobility". His body then convulsed in pain and disintegrated into dust, sending Xenos to the Great Beyond.
