Xever Montes (Earth-1521)

## Xever Montes

**Xever Montes**, known as **Fishface** is one of the Hana's top henchmen.

## Appearance

### Xever

As human, his appearance was tall, skinny, and wore a blue jeans, a white shirt and blue vest. He was of Afro-Brazilian descent and sported a small afro.

### Fishface

As Fishface, Xever underwent a dramatic mutation into a humanoid fish hybrid. He acquired gills along his neck, allowing him to breathe underwater. Purple scales covered portions of his skin, particularly on his arms and legs. His hands and feet transformed into webbed appendages, enabling swift movement underwater. His facial structure took on fish-like characteristics, with a streamlined appearance and pronounced aquatic features.

## Personality

Before his transformation, Xever exuded confidence and a penchant for the streets, displaying cunning and adaptability. Post-mutation, as Fishface, he retains some of his former traits but is driven by a primal survival instinct, often appearing aggressive and fiercely territorial. His loyalty and attachment to the Foot Clan are defining aspects of his character.

## Background

Xever Montes' life in Brazil was defined by his resourcefulness and streetwise nature. Growing up in the midst of bustling streets and diverse cultures, he learned to navigate the vibrant but often harsh environment. His Afro-Brazilian heritage and experiences in the urban landscape shaped his understanding of survival, honing his instincts and adaptability.
As a teenager, Xever found himself drawn into the realm of petty crime, where he learned to hustle and make his way in a world that offered limited opportunities. It was during this time that he caught the attention of the Foot Clan, a powerful criminal organization expanding its influence globally. Xever's cunning and street smarts made him an ideal candidate for the Foot Clan's schemes, leading to his recruitment.
Under the leadership of Hana Saki, the organization's reach extended even further. Xever's loyalty to Hana and the clan grew as he ascended the ranks, eventually becoming one of their key enforcers. However, this ascent into the Foot Clan's hierarchy came at a grave cost.

## Abilites

As a human, he was very skilled in capoeira, a Brazilian leg-based martial art, and knife fighting (and he most likely learned some some Ninjutsu from the Shredder as well). He was an expert with butterfly knives before he was mutated. He was highly skilled and was easily able to fight off at least two of the Turtles on his own. However, his mutation gave him the ability to breathe underwater (of course), but has also left him with several weaknesses. His mutation into a fish resulted in the loss of his legs and his ability to breathe air, rendering immobile and overall unable to live on land without the help of a breathing mechanism and mechanical legs that Baxter Stockman provided him. However, the martial arts that he had learned still do have a surprising influence on him and, thus, he can use the robotic legs with quite lethal skill, and can still wield small blades, and even some swords pretty well (without them slipping right through his fingers). Xever also gained a venomous bite which causes hallucinations, nausea, and delusions, and the ability to command regular snakehead fish to attack his foes. Xever knows how to ride a motorcycle. It seems Xever's skinny fish arms are somewhat very strong
