### Profile

"I had a great job at a calendar factory before
getting sacked for taking a couple days off."

That may have been a lie, but Xarander did spend
many years as chairman of the Heroes Appreciating
Humor Association.

Once this spellblade noticed that his magical ability
improved with every joke he thought up, he couldn't
stop searching for the perfect punchline.

Eager to quickly increase his power, he went with
quantity over quality, and most of his jokes elicited
groans rather than laughs.

Based on appearance alone, you'd expect to see
him stalking crypts rather than leading shows, but
looks can be deceiving.

### Profile

"I had a great job at a calendar factory before

groans rather than laughs.

Based on appearance alone, you'd expect to see
him stalking crypts rather than leading shows, but
looks can be deceiving.

Though his family wasn't quite noble enough for
the royal court, he still hailed from a long line of
men of high station.

As a child, his every move was monitored by a
caretaker of one sort or another, and he could
only dream about running around freely like the
peasant boys he spotted from his window.

Creativity stifled, he expressed himself in the
only way he knew how: through humor. If only for
a fleeting moment, his jokes brought a sliver of joy
to an otherwise mundane existence.

"As kings grow older, what do they worry about
most? A receding heir line."

When he was old enough to be free of their care,
he ditched his minders and never looked back. He
never once thought about giving up comedy, though.

Humor was his constant companion, in sickness
and in health. When other men would scowl, he
resolved to smile. When other men would cry, he
resolved to laugh. Mirth was the best medicine
for the world's many problems.

Humor is an inherently social matter, and it didn't
take him long to realize that there must be others
out there like him who could be saved by its grace.

The position of chairman was just the beginning:
he would see that everyone in the kingdom had
the chance to experience the joy of a good laugh.

Based on appearance alone, you'd expect to see
him stalking crypts rather than leading shows, but
looks can be deceiving.

Over time his style developed into something
altogether unique, using humor to bring light to
the injustices and absurdities of life even if the
logic of the jokes themselves only sometimes
made sense.

"Why do you never see elephants hiding in trees?
Because they're really good at it."

There will always be people who don't "get it."
People who nitpick a part of the joke, or insist
that they know a better way to deliver it. He
wasn't good at dealing face-to-face with those
kinds of folks.

Still, he had a knack for taking criticism in stride.
After all, if people cared enough to criticize his
work, then surely the words had affected them
in some way or another. As long as he got people
talking, all of the suffering was worth it.
