"An altar defaced, swords of holy light, the swing of an axe,
the rolling of a head. What I thought was the end
of my story turned out to be the turning of a new chapter"

Core Concepts

Religion: Glacial Faithful (Mainly Inthalis and The Glacial, but he'll occasionally invoke the other Evolist Gods during his incantations/Falsely worship them for The Glacial)
Wisdom: Xavier is wise beyond his years, and subconsciously tests all those that show similar wisdom by pushing them to the limit with words
Panache: Xavier's mannerisms, vocabulary, and education all resemble that of an aristocrat. If he tried to look presentable, he might even be confused for one.
Manipulation: If there's one thing Xavier's learnt over the years, it's how to convince a soldier that his knife is an egg. When meeting someone, Xavier will put on a front of respect to learn about the other person's personality and will build his new persona carefully.
Description:
"You want to know about lil' old me? Have a seat, dear"
Xavier is quite obviously a spirit. His skin is of pure blue ice to reflect his connection to Ellador and his eyes are composed entirely of black onyx with emeralds instead of irises. His hair is made of pure snow and he leaves a trail of snowflakes in his wake, with the tips imbued with magical energy. He bears strikingly feminine features and will most likely be mistaken for a woman upon first meeting him, but he dresses more "tomboy" to compensate for such a matter.
Spirit Form
"As you can see, I'm dead."
Ordial eyes - Turns his eyes sickly green.
Glacial Skin: His flesh is made of pure Elladrin Ice
Glacial Hair: Xavier has hair of pure snow, but it still feels soft to the touch
Glacial Maw: Xavier has two rows of very.. very sharp teeth. Both sets contain a separate jaw, allowing him to latch on with the front set, and chew with the back.
Snow-kin Horns: Xavier has two ram horns that are very sensitive to touch.
A Yanar's Kindness: Xavier has the spade-tail of a demon but, when it was cut off, a Yanar replaced it with a similar tail made of plant matter. The tail in question is ~8 feet long and ends in a single, large, leaf.
Mutations/RP flavor
Iorweth's Sorrowful Gaze: Xavier always looks dead inside, even if he's the happiest man alive at the moment
Inthalis' Unveiling Scent: Xavier can (with OOC consent) 'smell' secrets, and can accurately determine one's information. This blessing was possibly granted after he lost his Tarot Cards. He can't detect abilities or one's location, and can only use his detection if they're within his point of view. The downside to this 'blessing' is that he must honestly answer every question to continue Inth's influence.
Glacial's Ever-present Aura: Whenever Xavier's nearby water starts to freeze, glass will frost, flames will flicker, plants will wilt, and the air will grow cold... Because of this, he's not a great assassin, but he tries to sneak up on people anyway, acting like a child who thinks they're hidden when hiding behind a lamppost.
Consigner's Arsenal of Memories: Xavier never forgets what he's learnt, but this comes at the price of the Inthalis Scent, as the simple question of 'What have you been up to' can compromise an important plan.
Spirit Form: Character Arcs/Personality Changes will subtly change his appearance (Specifically, his left eye).
Personality:
"The first lesson in being a Death Cultist is knowing your audience"
Xavier worships his Matron Goddess, the Glacial, and considers his heritage a curse.
Xavier's personality follows true to his form: Cold.
He will not hesitate to betray those he cares for to gain a simple combat victory or suitor he's set his eyes on, nor will he hesitate to strike down those who've harmed the people he's close to unless there was good reason.
Getting close to Xavier is a time-consuming and almost useless process since only three people have gotten close enough for him to consider them true friends.
Being close to him is a double-edged sword. Xavier can be a powerful ally, or a powerful enemy.

Life Story
Childhood: Xavier was the love child of a Bene Rexit Noble and the Beauty Arken, resulting in a beautiful baby... boy? Despite his best efforts, Xavier bore strikingly feminine features and retained this form throughout his life and eventual Spirithood. His connection to the Exist was problematic with the rest of the Rexits, so his existence was kept hidden from the rest of the world. However, his being couldn't be kept secret for long, with rumors spreading of "The Secret Princess" who was never allowed out.
Adolescence: Xavier's connection to the Exist, along with the spirit-binding habits of the Bene Rexits, caused him to have a childhood of learning how to create Undead and enslave Spirits to his will. One fateful day, Xavier was exploring the ruins of an old Dwarven hold and came across the Greater spirit of a long-dead Dwarf who had forgotten his name. Xavier did some questioning and found out that it was his father who had killed the poor Dwarf. Despite his teachings, Xavier couldn't help but feel compassion for the poor spirit and, knowing that this would cause a revolt were it to be revealed, formed a symbiotic Contract with the Dwarf, bestowing him with the name of Abaddon.
One day, Xavier was entrusted to give a speech to the rest of his family and had planned to poison his father out of fiery vengeance for Abaddon's murder, but was confronted by his sister, a Vixit Archon, about being a 'Filthy Spirit Lover'. The confrontation escalated and his sister threw a blade at his heart. Abaddon, taking the form of a dove, took the blow and possessed his sister's Wyvern, biting her head clean off. The Wyvern wreaked havoc across the meeting place and was eventually slaughtered, with Abaddon permanently exorcised.
Adulthood: Xavier willingly bound spirits to him in secret, most taking the form of insects, but some bearing animal features like cats with the face of a raven or a dog with the horns of a gazelle.
Xavier's spirit army grew until he had gained enough to hijack a fishing boat and sail to Regalia.
Undeath: Xavier lived in secrecy, keeping his connection to the Beauty Arken hidden. However, he was eventually caught defacing a shrine dedicated to the God Emperor. He begged for death so he could be free from his curse but, like a true Isldar, Xavier always had an ace of his sleeve. The end was not near, but rather the beginning. His body was destroyed before he could become undead, transforming him into a powerful Greater Spirit. In search of answers, he spent his first few days dwelling in the slums until a kindly rogue formed a contract with him, making Xavier a type of "familiar".
- Xavier's family has a powerful spell that was passed down throughout the generations (Duellist Invocation).
- Xavier's horns are his weakness, being extra sensitive to pain.
- Xavier hears through his skin. He doesn't technically need ears.
- Xavier's body needs to maintain a hyperspecific Ordial-primal magic ratio. Simply eating or drinking would make his body absorb the innate primal essence in those foods and he'll explode.
