He is shown to have two black horns on his head and his demon tail, but is shown the entire time his bangs covering up his eyes. Baxter can be seen wearing other clothing, but prefers to wear a lot of black clothing. He tends to wear his usual outfit when he goes out on missions with Sero, which is a black shirt, black pants, black military boots, and his iconic white stripe, which now changed to a Gray Stripe in Season One.

* Baxter's eyes are indeed hidden, and is never shown most of the time.
* Baxter is seen to be a very fit person, who trains and lifts daily.
* He also swaps his stripes often, and usual keeps it a secret.

## ***Personality***

Baxter is a very loud, cocky, and smug person. He loves to push his partner into fights with him, and always lets Sero win. Baxter is very ignorant when it comes to very complicated tasks, and tends to ignore things that Sero says when it involves complex responsibilities, wanting to dodge them completely. He is also known to be the most "annoying person he's ever met" according to several people, including Sero Langham. He is very lazy when it comes to missions and kills, and tends to joke around on the spot, never taking anything seriously. But he does get serious when it involves Sero, either when hes hurt, sad, or something is on his mind.

Arzez, Baxter's boss, doesn't appreciate Baxter's lazy and pouty attitude, but he lets it slide, since he at least gets the job done, seemingly not caring about whatever he does.

* It is shown throughout Season One that Baxter's smug personality is always there, he always seems to keep a smile on his face.
* It is implied several times that Sero & Baxter fight, along with picking fights with his friends in the Lust Departments.
* He seems quiet when he's around his friends, but yet a jokester around them too.
* Baxter seems to be *very* closed off when it comes to his feelings, which is implied on Crossfire Co.'s tiktok platform.

## *Family:*

*Eric "Thatcher" (active)*

Baxter's father is never mentioned in the webcomic, although Icarus pointed out that he doesn't have a nice relationship with them, or his mother.

## ***Friends:***

*Sero Langham*

Baxter considers Sero a friend, *although* in Sero's perspective, he's anything but a friend. Sero & Baxters love-hate relationship in Season One is heavily shown/implied. Baxter seems to adore the reactions that Sero gives him when he calls him a petname, a nickname, makes fun of him, annoys him, he does anything to get the blonde's attention, and it always works. Baxter is humbled in the situation, knowing that Sero is overall *very* neutral when it comes to him. Baxter tends to stay by Sero's in the middle of Season One, seemingly attaching to Sero's presence. Overall, believe it or not, this duo can be pretty great when it comes to missions and complicated tasks that last for hours, and they both definitely know that.

*Wrath Department:*

Baxter seems to have a good relationship with his buddies in the Wrath Departments, who is seen once or twice in Season One, and Season Two. They tend to mess around a-lot, have a ton of horseplay, and the strongest ones rise to the top when it comes to The Department.

## ***Neutral:***

*Jamie Kanoa*

Baxter is overall neutral with Sero's friend Jamie, he tends to make fun of Jamie as-well, but not much. Jamie often pushes Baxter away, and keeps Sero a far distance away from Baxter, due to possible connections of Sero's EX.

* *Baxter seems to understand that Jamie is protective of Sero, and respects it.*

*Sinox Hernandez*

Baxter is also overall neutral with Sero's friend Sinox, he rarely makes fun of Sinox, but if they're there, he maybe calls them a petty nickname or two. Sinox also pushes Baxter away, seemingly more forceful and controlling of the situation when Baxter tries to make fun of Sero.

* *Baxter also seems to understand that Sinox is protective of Sero, and also respects it.*

## ***Enemies:***

*Easton Ridgewell*

Baxter has no known enemies, other than Sero's EX. Icarus has implied that Baxter may or may not have met his EX before, and plans to make Baxter and his EX meet face-to-face in Season Two.

* *Baxter rarely knows about Sero's history with his EX, but knows it was bad.*

## ***Origins***

*Design ( May 2022 - June 2022): **CrossFire Pilot Series***

Baxter's old design in early 2022 (Pilot Crossfire), was a black shirt with white sleeves, black hair, a dogtag collar, and was around 5'9.

**The Crossfire Pilot Series** was taken down due to *Miles*, quote on quote saying that " *Sero and the plot was too aggressive, problematic, and murder-y for webtoon, so I've improvised on the plot, leading me to take it down. I tried my best to stick to the original plot on Wattpad, its original holder, but the series was too heavy for my liking. "*

*Original Design ( October 2021 - November 2021 ): **Dawn of Baxter Thatcher***

Baxter's design started off around mid 2021, due to a famous block game, called "Roblox", they made their character there, and eventually led off to the story, leading with three protagonists in a webcomic. Baxter was more of a quiet and reserved guy, who was around 7 feet tall, a full demon, who was "aroace", and spoke a demonic language that nobody understood, or never talked at all. Baxter also had covered eyes with his bangs, and never got along with anyone or anything, other than a cat he carried around in a pouch.
