## Biography

**Xenophon** was among the later members of the SMP. They had no alignment to any faction, and preferred to live on their own away from the world. Their death was never shown on screen, however it was confirmed on Xylophonn's CipherSMP stream that like Jinx and others, they were slain by Asher in cold blood and were now assumed to be dead.

## Physiology

### Appearance

Xenophon appeared human with pale white skin, orange-yellow eyes, and black hair. One of their eyes was covered with an eyepatch, however what is exactly beneath it was never specified. Their right hand faded to black around the shoulder area and they had claws solely on the same arm, which they sharpened themselves rather than had naturally.

They wore a long, tattered coat lined with fur around the neckline. They had silver skulls mounted on their shoulders. Underneath, they wore a black turtleneck with a silver collar on it and black pants along with a simple, black stomach corset. As shoes, they wore high heel, pirate-esque boots that reached just above their knees. The inside of their coat, the fur around their neckline, the ends of their sleeves, and the bottoms of their shoes all glowed white and gave off a cool air when touched. The outfit, while good looking, was suffocating to Xenophon, however they never said anything about it.

as an accessory, they wore an iron ribcage based on the spine corset by Alexander McQueen in collaboration with Shaun Leane.

### Biology

Asher had created Xenophon in belief that they would be a wither, however due to the glitchy nature of the world, Xenophon ended up spawning as a humanoid creature. Due to the nature of their human body being unable to handle the sheer power of a wither, the original Xenophon died soon after they had murdered Asher. They would have just never existed to anyone beyond Asher's memory, their body having become soul sand as soon as they had hit the ground, however a shapeshifting void creature decided to take on the form to live among humans, despite knowing that they would have to live a complete lie in order to not cause issues should Asher remember them one day. To put it simple, they were a wither at one point, but it was only for a very short time.

## Personality

Xenophon was quiet and serious, never showing emotion unless it was about protecting people they loved. They observed rather than spoke, mostly because they were an introvert but also because they had paranoia that if they did use emotion they would have it used against them. They kept to themselves, even living a decent ways away from spawn. They preferred to not have grand builds, wanting to live within the rather small space they dug out for themselves than risk letting their hard work be destroyed should they live in a tower. Alongside this, however, they were a big liar and loved to keep secrets.

Xenophon would often question logic which did not make sense to them. Example, during the party, Olympus mentioned their love for withers, however just outside were 4 beacons. While they continued to say nothing, they did question as to what they meant in that moment, and probably would have brought it up he second they met any of them. They did not understand why people hate withers so much, considering that it was the human greed for power that even created them in the first place. While they did interact with humans, they always had a deep set fear of what may happen to them if human curiosity and need for power reaches even higher peaks than they already are.

## History

Asher had created Xenophon in belief that they would be a wither, however due to the glitchy nature of the world, Xenophon ended up spawning as a humanoid creature. Due to the nature of their human body being unable to handle the sheer power of a wither, the original Xenophon died soon after they had murdered Asher in cold blood. They would have just never existed to anyone beyond Asher's memory, their body having become soul sand as soon as they had hit the ground, however a shapeshifting void creature decided to take on the form to live among humans, despite knowing that they would have to live a complete lie in order to not cause issues should Asher remember them one day. To put it simple, they were a wither at one point, but it was only for a very short time.

At some point prior to December 3rd, 2021, Xenophon received a mysterious letter that was later revealed to be from Parallax, roughly asking for them to meet him at the community house. Upon their arrival, they were met with 5 others, Scera, Jinx, Tomie, Lune, and Ari. These would later become their allies / "coworkers" so to speak. Parallax was the last to arrive to the meeting, taking the group the his auction house. Xenophon cracked a few jokes on the way, however unfortunately due to mic quality issues ooc, most were drowned out or barely audible. When they arrived at the auction house and had all read the rules Parallax put in place, Xenophon stood awkwardly in the hallway while everyone else removed their armor, not having any to begin with. During the first meeting of the Cabal, Xeno rarely spoke, once again being the observer rather than the communicator, only speaking when addressed or giving small comments to themselves. It was during this meeting they were given the alias of Thanatos, name deriving from the Greek personification of death. Through this meeting is when Xenophon and their fellow members of the Cabal were tasked by Parallax to go to The Party.

During the party, Xenophon was, again, the quiet observer, not even introducing themselves as a solo faction during the dinner. When Olympus mentioned their love of withers, it'd peak their interest in the conversation, however even then they still were quiet, observing as Parallax had asked them to. During the 1v1 arena event towards the end of the party, Xenophon was one of the competitors, however lost the duel and, in turn, their first canon life. They returned to the party for a short while after their loss, however left along with the rest of the partygoers when asked to by Kisa.

Xenophon was an inactive character for a while after that, however they jumped back into the game when they decided to go try and find Jinx, unknowing that she lost her memory. The two talked for a while, and Xenophon did their best to help her get back on track with what she was doing. They were, once again, inactive until Jinx was almost kidnapped by Parallax. They had been at the terra militia to visit when they saw Jinx come through the portal, terrified out of her mind. Xenophon did not leave her side when they heard the truth, even insisting on going with her to the egg when she decided she wanted to go. Xenophon and Jinx talked for a bit, however they were pushed out when the egg wanted Jinx to stay. While they didn't like it, they let her stay after affirming to her that if she needed them, they'd come straight away.

A few weeks later, Xenophon was visiting Asher's base again. They had wanted to speak with xem and apologize for what they did, however they didn't say anything really up until Asher found xeir lantern and confronted them about it. Despite being told that Asher never wants to see them again, they came back the next day and ended up getting into a bad argument with xem over it. Xenophon was fully willing to let Asher killed them, however after xey decided not to, Xenophon begrudgingly joined xeir plan against Parallax, also giving up the location of Jinx to xem after some manipulation from Asher.

That was the last time they were seen in canon before their implied death on June 7th, 2022.
