Skills/Training:Not much is known of Xander's background. What is known is that he has mastered most forms of hand to hand combat and prefers using his hands and strength as opposed to weapons offensively. Defensively, he has been known to use armor and shields, trees and telephone poles and larger support items to defend and strike through defenses in order to assist in tactical strikes for missions he has been asked to take a part in. His cooperation is usually secretive and he is not well known in Amber. He is known by a few in Rebma.
Architectural and structural stress points. Psi limits for most weapons.
He also is adept at swimming and underwater fighting. And knows the culture of Rebma very well.
This advantage and a heroic act and survival of the worst tortures the Courts of Chaos could conceive of, gained Xander several more options.
He learned several versions of technologies used by the foremost Chaosian Authorities on mental and physical tortures, information gathering and bio-physical enhancements. During his imprisonment in the Courts, he was subjected to varied amounts of mental and physical stress. His unique defense against their tortures made them determined to use any means to get through to his inner mind and soul. Enhancements were used to allow computers, AIs and other unique bio- mechanical and magical means to break his defenses.
And yet…no matter what they did to his body and mind…they could not diminish his endurance and will…which he inherited from his Father.
When he was finally released…all the Chaosians that dealt with him respected his determined stance against their myriad attacks against his body and mind. And he, in turn…learned varied technologies and techniques he would have never realized. And made several contacts in the Courts. And one….very special and unique friend.
He had been their subject for ten years…although only a fraction of that time had passed in Amber and Rebma.
When he returned to Rebma, he was considered a hero by some. He himself…did not feel that he was.
He wanted no recognition. His only desire was to learn from the Triton dignatary who was a guest of the Queen during the dinner to honor his return.
He learned that this being ran a facility that specialized in a unique form of fightin…mastered by the most skillful of the Tritons. Feared by those that knew of it. To be accepted there required great strength, determination…and force of will.
And no human had ever wished to enter this place. None had dared to make the attempt.
Until Xander made his interest known to him.
The being would have killed him on the spot…but knew something of what Xander had survived. He would now have to survive the Triton's test…conceived by himself and two prized students. Then…he would be considered.
Xander accepted.
Survived the test.
And was eventually…invited….into the Trench of Shadowes.
When he came out of that darkness….he had his own way of seeing the worlds…people…and what causes pain and pleasure. And his hands and limbs….were now ready to bring other beings into either of those extremes.
Other skills include basic battle tactics. Riding. Driving. Athletics such as jumping and running. Throwing and catching small and large objects.
Psycho analysis/practical psychology. as well as interrogation and resistance to such advances. Including drug use and advanced technologies and some magical/shape shifted uses in such endeavors.
Intense forms of meditation, studies in anatomy, as well as self awareness. Pressure points and manipulation and certain massage techniques.
Computer use, including some forms of hacking and AI studies. Defense programs and grids. Information zones.
Uncomfortable in complete rural areas……. yet he is learning to cope with them. His experience in Chaos left him inbedded with a link to certain technology. His years studying with the Tritons….has given him new perspectives….making him open to visiting different worlds and places.
Preferred Style of Dress: usually wears dark or mirrored sunglasses. Prefers modernized black slacks and a black stylized long coat and shirt cut to fit tightly, but loose enough for him to move and fight with no ill affects.
Favorite Food: ?
Favorite drink: ?
Despises: Those who do not keep their word, cowards, wastes of resources, ignorance of some that are in power
