Description:
Xenos stands at roughly 6'4", and weighs a little past two hundred fifty pounds, making him a rather imposing figure, especially when in his armour. An odd effect (though entirely benign) from the radiation is that he was born with a deep tan, though his hair is completely white, contrasting greatly to most others. His hair is smooth yet shaggy and is slightly long, though not enough to obscure his vision. Xenos would be considered somewhat attractive, with pronounced cheekbones and a longer face. His eyes are a very light blue, almost silver, another trait due to the radiation, rather than genetics. Also, while he tries to keep somewhat shaven, he can and will often go extended periods of time without, getting up to a light beard of silvery white hair. Scars run everywhere across his body, and he has a few tattoos as well. Xenos's Brotherhood of Steel tattoo is upon his left arm. TBC

Biography:
Xenos was born Lucius Marius in what before the war was known as Volgograd. The war had wrought untold devastation to the city, and in some areas, the fires have not yet stopped burning from the worldwide nuclear holocost. Everywhere across the world, it became a daily fight for survival, but few places held this truer than in the ruins of Новий Сталинград. Those who survived the War and emerged from their bunkers not only had to compete against the environment for food and basic survival, but a particular breed of Ghoul that was native to the area. These Ghouls had all the traits of those commonly known to the Brotherhood, but they could not speak, possessed barely any motor skills, and hungered for living flesh. Normal humans dared not go out at night, and only during the day when well armed and armoured. It was not a world for the weary or weak of heart.

Lucius was born with dark tan skin and solid white hair, a trait that neither of his parents possessed. His mother had been saved by his father in a daring rescue attempt of a safehouse swarmed by Ghouls in the middle of the night. Indebted to him, she soon came to love him, and he with her as well. Upon her pregnancy however, they knew that they could not stay there, as it was no place to raise a child. They moved to the North with an armoured caravan that was moving through the city, and made attempt to safer lands. They at last reached Новий Ленинград, and it was there Lucius was born. In fact, he spent the first eight years of his life there. However, his parents heard word of a great vessel that could cross the waters and deliver them to a land untouched and unplagued. This sounded wondrous to them, and took the chance to give their child a better life than they had themselves.

The ship, the Предвестник Надежды, set off and over the course of a few months, reached the shorelines of what was once the United States. They moved with all of the settlers and helped to found the town of Мир north of what was once the capital of the great nation. For a while, all was good. Raiders would occasionally attack, but violence was nothing new to them. They were able to repel attack after attack, but eventually their numbers started to wear thin. Finally, an entire raider clan that was bound together assaulted the fledging town, overwhelming it. His father was left for dead, and he along with his mother and younger sister were taken as slaves.

For years he was brutally beaten, sexually abused, and otherwise harassed into submission. He was forced to watch as first his mother was raped and eventually killed, and then two years later, his young sister. She had only just started to hit puberty. He vowed revenge, but was unable to do anything. He was helpless, and would likely just die in some Raider camp.

He had survived until the age of sixteen going from camp to camp however, traded to different Raiders as an effective means of slave and sexual labour. One day however, the camp he was in was assaulted by a band of armed men, obliterating the seemingly helpless Raiders. One man, their leader, placed a giant flag in the middle of the camp, bearing the symbol of the Brotherhood of Steel. He did not know it yet, but this was a show of force to the Raiders, that their presence would not be tolerated. The Brotherhood soldiers set him free and left. Gathering his wits, he grabbed some weapons, ammo, supplies, and disappeared into the wastes.

He sought revenge against the Raiders that had brought him so much misery in his life. He would live up his vow, he would bring swift retribution to those who had done him and his family so wrong over the years. He would become a pariah, he would become Xenos.

For the first few years he merely struggled to survive, learning the ways of the wastes, learning how to get food, water, and then on to medical supplies and ammunition. By the age of eighteen he started to live out his vow, taking out Raider scouting parties or sentries, weakening them little by little. Within a few years he'd learn the tactics needed to take out entire camps, a few men at a time. Within a few more years, he'd learn how effective it was to simply kill the leader, and let them all kill each other in struggles for power. He tracked down every single camp that his family had been to, and made sure that no one survived. At last, he had only one thing left that he needed to do, to kill those responsible for the invasion of his peaceful town.

Xenos tracked down the roving group of Raiders to a town that they had recently pilfered, and snuck in during the night. For whatever reason, he decided against simply killing the leader in silence during his sleep. Instead, he waited until the next day, when the Raider Lord came out atop of a balcony and began to speak to his men. Ignoring his body guards, Xenos simply walked out on to the balcony and decapitated the Lord with a machete. The entire crowd was in silence as the lifeless body fell listlessly to the ground. Giving them naught but a menacing glare, he picked up the head and lifted it into the air, which was responded to with a cheer. He now led this Raider clan.

Self-crowned King of the Raiders, Xenos set out to bring his wrath against all who would oppose him. Rival Raider clans, militias, soldiers, even small peaceful towns. He went on like this for years, destroying, pillaging, stealing, raping, killing, doing anything that he would please. Xenos doesn't actually remember anything from this time, only what he had heard of himself. He became everything he sought to destroy, everything he once hated. He tore families apart, killed the men and raped the women. He was a tyrant, the scourge of man.

Everything changed when once again a Raider camp was assaulted by none other than the Brotherhood of Steel. Xenos walked out amidst the fighting, and commanded everyone to stop. Here he was, a god amongst men, simply telling everyone to stop fighting. It is said that he fell to his knees and began to weep, for seeing the Brotherhood made him remember what he once stood for, and realize what he had become. That was his first memory since his childhood, on his knees. He looked around to see everything about him, and swore fealty to the Brotherhood on the spot. He rose and brought down his wrath upon his just previously comrades like the fist on angry god.

Upon becoming an Initiate of the Brotherhood of Steel, Xenos's mind had been shattered. He didn't remember a great deal of his life, and he was a complete sociopath. He felt not happiness, anger, nor sadness or glee. He felt nothing. He remained that way for the next few years within the Brotherhood, a frenzied warrior upon the battlefield with no regard for his own well-being. However, through the family-like bond of his Brothers and Sisters, he soon began to heal, and his sanity return to him. He still can't remember what he did all of those years, but likely thinks that it's better off that way.

He eventually rose to become a squad leader within Trymann Division under Paladin Sierra, who he became close friends with, but once she retired to an Elder, he was posted under General Ender in Talon Division. He later became a squad leader in that division as well, of Avenger Squad, and currently holds that position at the rank of Junior Paladin.

With General Ender, a legendary figure within the Brotherhood, unable to continue his service to better the wasteland, he left the bunker under Xenos's charge, making him the new General. Creating Valesco Division, the new General sought to redouble the Brotherhood's efforts, and create a new age of prosperity. A stern and pious figure, Xenos is just as vigorous and bloodthirsty on the field of battle as he ever was at the age of thirty six.
