Xero

Sex: Male

Clan: Caitiff

Generation: 13th

Position: Elder

Born: 1384, somewhere in Western Europe.

Appearance:

Xero is a young vampire who is 5' 0" tall and 115 pounds but he is very strong and fast. He is often mistaken for a child or teenager and he uses that fact to ambush his enemies.

He has long, straight, dark red hair and light skin. He has pointed ears and a somewhat pointed nose. These are the two factors that most often give him away as a vampire. Also, on his right shoulder, he has a symbol carved into the flesh which resembles an Irish crest, but has never before been positively identifed anywhere else.

Not much is known about Xero. All that is known for sure is that he spent most of his vampiric life running from someone who he has yet to identify. Yet it is almost certain that Xero is from Ireland - both from his accent and because of a strange scar in his right arm which seems to be a Celtic design or crest.

He is very tricky, even to other vampires. His ablity to disguise his form makes him even more powerful, but by far Xero's greatest asset is his ablity to relate to children and to befriend them, making them perform his dark deeds during the day. Xero's greatest weakness is that he lets his heart take over his mind; he rushes into things despite words of wisdom from others.

Xero's greatest power is Obfuscate, which he can do involuntarily. Xero uses this power mostly to trick mortals who bother him. He has become accustomed to the fact that stupid people will believe anything out of a child's mouth or that a snake can paralyze a woman with fear. Xero often uses his perception-distorting abilities to trick other vampires by making it appear he is of another Clan. This makes other vampires fear him because he lets the shape become him, he doesn't become the shape.

But Animalism is also a stong trait of Xero's because he has learned the animal language, thus making all animals his servants.

Fortitude is Xero's only weak power. Because of his age he has yet to control it and so as a gift to him it is worthless until he matures and is able to control it.
