Xzavier

Dr. Bazinga (cousin)

Xzavier was Originally an infamously weak E-Rank Hunter, he got the chance of a lifetime when he was selected as Shadow, giving him the ability to grow stronger without limit. As a result, by taking advantage of the opportunities offered to him by the Shadow gods, Xzavier eventually rose to power as the new **Shadow Monarch** and the strongest hunter in the world, and soon one of the hashira. Xzavier is a confident individual with a strong sense of family and a thirst for strength.

It should also be noted that despite being the strongest hunter in the world,Xzavier is not particularly arrogant and is both polite and easygoing in-person. He is also mostly indifferent to materialistic desires such as fame and fortune and cares about human life, In contrast, back when he was weak, Xzavier was very timid and insecure due to his incompetence as a hunter and his troubled family situation. Although he cared so much about his family that he spent years risking his life going on raids for their sake, he was ashamed of his circumstances.

**Master Swordswoman:** Being a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Xzavier is one of the most powerful and skilled swordswomen in the entire organization.

Doma noted that the sheer speed of this technique is strong enough to destroy an entire wooden bridge.

## Equipment

**Stinger Nichirin Katana:** Xzavier uses a heavily modified Nichirin Blade forged by Tecchin Tecchikawahara as his primary weapon. It is the same as any katana from the handle to slightly above the hilt, but above that, the weapon loses its blade and is replaced by a rod. It ends in a needle-like tip, resembling an insect's stinger in appearance and function. The "stinger" is designed for injection of Wisteria poisons into Demons, as Xzavier uses his medical expertise he has also modified the weapon's sheath, using it as a portable poison mixer and loader. Shinobu's katana's hilt is designed to bear resemblance to a four-petaled aqua-colored flower, trimmed with orange. The blade is lavender-blue in color, with the words **Evil Demon** ( *Akki***?**) engraved on the right face, while the words **Destruction** ( *Messatsu***?**) are engraved on the left face due his sword's structure.
