**Xeaus** was a well-known member of the Imdeity server who gained prominence for his time as mayor of Troy, as well as his participation and involvement with the Araluen Kingdom and in server-wide conflict: most infamously his rivalry with JWCuber. Xeaus began with little aspiration for ambition, but saw great potential in the village of Troy, and in himself as a leader.

#### Pre-February 10, 2015

Xeaus began his time on the Imdeity server pre-reset under the username *Disney225.* Sometime in 2014 he took on the persona of "Dark X", a thief, stealing from fallen towns and unclaimed properties leaving behind his callsign, a simple "X" constructed out of blocks or a sign with his pseudonym. He was temporarily banned as a result of his escapades and returned later in 2014 and joined the city of Amityville. As a citizen of Amityville, he constructed a humble house that he decorated using items and blocks looted from a nearby abandoned mansion outside the city limits. He was caught stealing by retro\_lank and reported.

#### Early Reset

Following the map-reset, Xeaus continued to use the username "Disney225" for a short time. He joined Skyhold in the Eclipse district and constructed a tower on two plots nearby senior assistant, Bcc\_Chicago's home. Bcc\_Chicago commissioned Xeaus to construct a horse stable between their plots.

After his name change on February 9, 2015, Xeaus joined the village of Troy and steadily worked his way up to senior assistant alongside his acquaintances, zoroa\_14 and WarpSquad, both of whom would later share mayoral duties. In an attempt to refine his abilities as a leader, Xeaus took on the role of mayor of Aynor in mid-March 2015, by purchasing the small town from its previous mayor. A new town spawn, a diorite mansion, was constructed as well as a partially completed hotel and new roads. Cobrex, King of the Olympus Kingdom of which Troy was a member, contacted Xeaus, stating he was the true mayor of Aynor and that the previous mayors had made a contract with him to "take care" of the town in his stead. Having grown fond of Aynor, Xeaus made a new contract with Cobrex to remain mayor.

In response to Xeaus' work in Aynor, Cobrex promoted Xeaus to Co-Mayor of Rome, one of only a handful of metropolises on the server. Alongside senior assistants Porterdog02 and Winsormatt1, Xeaus oversaw the growth and cleanup of Rome, though he soon became disillusioned with Cobrex's vision for Olympus. He attempted a coup in Rome, intending for Rome to become the capital city of a new Kingdom led by himself, however, Porterdog remained loyal to Cobrex thus it failed.

In Troy, Xeaus returned as senior assistant to mayor zoroa\_14 and urged him to leave the Olympus Kingdom. Having the authority to do so himself, Xeaus withdrew Troy from Olympus, angering Cobrex considerably.

During a tour of Doha, performed by Doha co-mayor, asdfjkll, Xeaus met Veligrad mayor and Moravian King, BarryX15. A long term player, multi-time sponsor, build-team member, and friend of the moderators, Barry wielded much power and influence on the Imdeity server. Following the Doha tour, Barry gave a tour of Veligrad to Xeaus. Barry provided advice and supplies to Xeaus as he worked on Troy, but did not embrace Xeaus' goal to become a king himself one day. For the time they were acquainted with one another, Barry was under the impression Xeaus was female and would make him female skins. Barry became fevered with Xeaus when Xeaus wore a male skin with the batman symbol on his shirt, angered that Xeaus had betrayed his trust. However, for some time, Xeaus had himself become distrustful of BarryX15 over strange advances Xeaus viewed as inappropriate including pressing him on his age and location despite explicitly stating he was not comfortable sharing that information. Xeaus managed to regain Barry's trust to retaliate against him for Barry's perceived creepiness towards him by convincing him that the male skin was an accident and that no female skins with the bat symbol could be found.

Xeaus succeeded in his ambition to become King, though this success was short lived. Having purchased Yorkshire from Dannyotis13, and thus the Kingdom of which it was capital, Xeaus created Silva. The town spawn tower was emblazoned with a giant X, an homage to his past griefing of Amityville on the previous map, coming full circle from griefer to king. Despite ascending past his previous crimes, once BarryX15 gave Xeaus permissions in Veligrad, Xeaus took his chance and griefed the town spawn, giving up his chance to rule over his new kingdom, accepting his ban in July of 2015. Silva fell shortly thereafter with no one to maintain it.

#### Post-Ban and Friendship with JWCuber

Xeaus returned in the fall of 2015, laying low as the majority of the server still held Barry in high regard. He met JWCuber whose ambitious drive reminded Xeaus of how he had conducted himself. They both had been banned as well in the past. Xeaus confided in JW his dislike of BarryX15, and JW agreed. Together they began restoring the City of Luna which included having former mayor, SharpyArcher, temporarily banned for theft. JWCuber trained Xeaus in PVP for Deitywar to combat his rival, bran\_bash, whom Cuber misleadingly accused of hacking and other bannable offenses. Xeaus often engaged in acts of spying against bran\_bash, though, as Xeaus grew more distrustful of JWCuber, he took on the role of a double agent. Upon an ultimatum brought forward by Cuber, Xeaus flipped sides and allied with bran\_bash resulting in months of public drama.

#### Bans

Action was taken against Xeaus several times during his tenure on the Imdeity Server for actions the Staff determined violated server rules.

Xeaus was first banned on the previous version of the Imdeity Server for griefing and theft of Amityville and surrounding unclaimed plots. During this time he called himself "Dark X" though his username was Disney225. The extent of the griefing and theft was the placement of a large X shape on the top of an unclaimed skyscraper in Amityville, as well as the taking of valuable items and resources from an abandoned mansion in the area surrounding Amityville.

Xeaus largely avoided controversy early in his return to Imdeity on the new map in February of 2015, in an attempt to rebrand himself and atone for his past. However, as his ambitions grew, he came into acquaintance with BarryX15, a prominent player and multi-time sponsor of the server from whom Xeaus sought influence and aid. During their friendship, Xeaus grew steadily more distrustful and uncomfortable around Barry due to unnerving comments and actions including the discovery of a strip-club in his town spawn (himself admitting to being over 40), when the population of Veligrad was made up of underage players. Subsequently, Barry revealed he was aware of Xeaus' past, having stalked his NameMC page. However, Xeaus, determined to enact whatever revenge he could, acted favorably toward Barry until he was given permissions in Veligrad. Xeaus took advantage of this fact and griefed the town spawn of Veligrad, resulting in his second overall ban, and his first ban on the new map in July of 2015.

Xeaus would not be banned again until August 30, 2017, over two years since his previous ban, as a result of his retaliation against JWCuber, for harassing GamingWithGinger. During this time Xeaus, JWCuber, bran\_bash, and SharpyArcher were banned together by Sephronia in a mass ban.

Xeaus' last ban followed October 29, 2017 having been convicted for alleged "Extensive griefing and theft from Arandriel" despite receiving permission to alter Arandriel, by its mayor, Alysandra530, as well as being its co-mayor. He submitted an appeal, but it was controversially denied by Head Moderator Gwenhywar.

#### Personality and Traits

Xeaus was thirteen years old when he joined the Imdeity server in February of 2015 and quit when he was 16. For much of his time on the server, his hair was a bright rainbow color though he later changed it to an inverted rainbow around December of 2017; for a short time he wore his hair brunette and blonde. His eyes were green and he had light skin. He had a significant facial scar running from his brow to his chin that faded over time, though it was still noticeable. He often wore gloves, a bracelet, or a ring. Fairly consistently he wore a shark tooth necklace made of rope or silver along with a wallet chain.

Xeaus was known for his quick wit and to a large extent, lack of humility. Due to his brash attitude, those around him often cautioned him, but to little avail. His fiery personality put him at odds with the moderators and other players he considered enemies. A fiercely defensive player, he was loyal to his friends and his kingdom, especially when JWCuber attacked players such as Savie2424 and GamingWithGinger, both of whom attempted to avoid the drama, but were ultimately unable to do so. The general success he enjoyed in Troy and over Cuber during the capture of Wolfington contributed to his ego and tendency to brag.
