Xarxu

==Description==
===Appearance===
Xarxu's physical appearance took on the shape of a twisted, titanic abomination transformed by a major incident that occurred after he meant to subvert the anti-god mechanisms in place to kill gods that interact with the Astronomicon. The exact details of his transformation and what specifically caused him to lose his mind and turn into an eldritch monstrosity, are however, unknown.
His natural, precursor appearance took on the form of a somewhat withered, aged man with the red sclera, albino skin and hair, and tall height indicative of his race. Xarxu had a long, braided beard, and wore identical earrings shaped like blue teardrops framed in gold that hung from each of his earlobes. Xarxu wore a simple gray set of robes over his body, and clutched a burnt ivory staff.
===Personality===
Xarxu's was shown to be vastly intelligent, as he was credited with creating the Spindle, a magical super-consciousness responsible for the Seeker Network, and formulating a plan to destroy the Eight Lords and their Church through using the Astronomicon at the heart of the Library, presumably to find the Font of Destiny to use its wish-granting magic to put a stop to the Eight.
Xarxu was also compassionate and sympathetic towards mortals, freeing the previously-enslaved huksang race from Aegla at an unknown point in time, the grand bulk of whom formed into his following, the Children of the Font. 
Xarxu was spiteful towards the Eight for murdering his father for trying to make the world a better place, that father later revealed by Astutal to be Asparan.
==Biography==
===Before The Final Days of The Fifth Age===
At a certain point in time, Xarxu freed the huksang people from Aegla, the Justiciar of Nigh Sea, another god, who was aligned with the Eight. It is unknown how Xarxu helped the huksang to escape, though many thousands died in the attempt, and the Boatman had some hand in the attempt that left him permanently damned between life and death through Aegla as punishment.
===The Final Days of The Fifth Age===
After a group of heroes in search of Xarxu known as the Sanguine Saviors made their way through the Black Abyss with the help of Dromis Khar, they found Xarxu's followers, the Children of the Font. According the Children of the Font, Xarxu was trapped in the Library with the majority of the Children, following an excursion and had not returned by the time a seasonal portal in their camp should have allowed them back. The group, realizing that it was too late to save the world, opted to jump through time with Aspen of Elderwood's help, killing off the CotF, all of whom volunteered their lives for the ritual, in order to reach Xarxu at a time when it is indeed possible and either aid him or stop him, depending on what his plans turned out to be.
Later, during a meeting between the Sanguine Saviors, Asparag, Aspen, Crone, Lannora Bespir, and Tyrion Prime, it was perceived by Nero Arctis through his insight that the Second Lord was not actually aware of Xarxu at all when prompted about various things happening in the world, implying that Xarxu was far beneath Asparag's notice, or had deftly evaded him for many years.
Upon the group's return to the Library in the Theta Timeline, they were confronted by Asparag once more, having hunted them down with reckless desperation and bloodthirst, who ultimately perished in the engagement. The Saviors chased Aragal through the Library to beat him to the Astronomicon where they were all confronted by the Bastard of Xarxu, who was only contained by the remnants of Xarxu's mind within the creature. Xarxu recalled the group, to include Aragal and Aspen, into his psychic mind palace where he explained the situation. Aragal in that time agreed to the Savior's plan to stop Deeim and the Eight, so long as they could accomplish it.

==Relationships==
===Aegla===
No direct connections aside from Xarxu's participation in the Huksang Uprising have been identified linking him to Aegla have been established, but it can safely be assumed that the two were at odds.
===The Eight===
Xarxu sought to destroy the Eight for their actions against mortals and most especially for murdering Asparan, his father. The Sanguine Saviors achieved this goal for their own ends, and in doing so, also accomplished it for Xarxu posthumously.
=== Astutal ===
Astutal was identified by Xarxu to be his closest friend, and the one he trusts the most from his circle.
=== The Boatman ===
The Boatman knew of Xarxu, and seemed to have been heavily involved in freeing his race alongside Xarxu from Nigh Sea. The specific details of the two's relationship, if any, are unknown.
