Xander Varies between a hand tailored suit, italian leather shoes looking like the perfect polished buisness man or a worn pair of jeans a baseball jersey, sneakers and a 5 o'clock shadow. no matter the clothes Xander moves like he's walking on polished glass, his movements are fluid and graceful, due to his Centuries of martial training, his body is well built and solid. He is disarmingly attractive, and has a natural magnetism that draws people to him, he makes friends and lovers effortlessly, despite it all he is not arrogant, his humor is self-depreaciting.

3.What does your character like?
Dragons, anything with Dragons, Art, Sculpture he enjoies it all. He loves to develop buisnessess, start with nothing and build and build. Xandare has a passion for Art, espically the modern visceral art of the modern age, full of color and passion. A good practical joke is a treasure to X, he loves to put one over on a friend and appreicates it when someone gets one over on him. The company of a beautiful, firey woman is one of his true pleasures.

4. Dislike? Running buisnessess, X hates to be mired down in details, once one of his buisnesses has reached the point where it can tread on its own legs he passes it off to someone to run, or he sells it outright. he has no patience for day to day opperations. Nothing infuriates Xander more than someone who won't stand up for themselves, he has no respect for the timid. Being a commander for so long, Xander seriously dislikes not being in control, he is a 'take action, for better or worse' type person.

5. (For humans) Describe what abilities you see your character having if they were turned.

6. What are your fears? Xander has a fear of Falling, not heights. just falling, on a deeper level its a fear of totally losing control. Xander has not had a serious long lasting relationship since his first wife's death, he has an almost irrational fear that he will cause the death of whomever he gets close to. Since his excommunication, Xander still believe that he is condemed to hell. Xander will avoid Holy places if at all possible, he doesn't think they will harm him, but he would rather stay under the 'Holy Radar'.

7. What is your character's strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths
Things always seem to go Xandare's way, some would say he has a guardian angel or that he leads a charmed life, this is because he has always been able to acomplish his goals. Xander's main strength is his ability to command others, he inspires people with his passion. Xander makes friends easily and he is never without lady friends either. Among his other strengths Xander's work ethic and willingness to do whatever it takes to acomplish his goal is key.

Weaknesses
Xandares a sucker for a pretty face, all of his biggest problems so far have all been centered around women. Xander tends to be socially oblivious at times, he has more trouble than he would admit in reading the signs and signals from modern people. Xander would be the type to have an employee for many years and never know their first name, not that he doesn't care, he just tends to forget that people have lives outside of him. X is a 'Big Picture' guy, his eyes are always on the destination, not the journey.

Personal History
Xander was born in the year 406. He was raised in the Vandal tribe of king Gunderic. He was trained from a very early age to fight; his father was a section commander in Gunderic’s army. During his mortal life he participated in many campaigns, eventually becoming a section commander and then a General himself.
It was during the sacking of Carthage that a young noble woman was captured by his troops and brought to him as a prize. Her name was Flanna; she was considered the most beautiful woman in all of Carthage, as was her mother before her. She is a spitfire, full of her own opinions and not afraid to tell you about them, it’s easy to see then, that Xander fell deeply in love with her and Married her.

Upon returning home to a hero’s welcome Xander became the principal military advisor to the Crown Prince, Furic. Furic coveted Flanna, he felt that she had married beneath her station and finally decided to do something about it. He sent Xander and his legion’s back out into the field, determined to get him out of the way. Little did he know that Flanna was no common noblewoman and rejected Furic’s advances several times, Furic was enraged, and in his hubris he decided that a lowborn would not possess something that a Prince could not, so he tried once again to seduce Flanna, this time when she rebuked him he killed her. The prince accused her handmaiden and saw her hung.

When Xander learned what happened, he raced back in disbelief. When he saw Furic and heard the gossip he knew what really happened. His anger burned white hot, but he kept it in check. He arranged his wife’s funeral, spending his entire fortune on it, since he planned to die, he no longer needed wealth.
The night after the ceremony, Xander went before the King and his Sons, in the pretext of resigning his post, but when he unsheathed his sword to surrender it to the King he swung and decapitated Furic in a single slice, then offered his head to the King. The royal Guard swarmed the room, and the king ordered Xander be tortured to death, it was when the guards just stood there that he realized that he did not recognize any of his guards. Xander walked out with his head held high, Furic’s blood running from his blade.
Xander fled the city with his legions, taking only his blade his horse and his burning rage with him. Quickly Xander’s Legions grew into a full army, as they absorbed smaller bands and in some cases rival legions. It was over the next five years he would become known as The Dragon for sacking and burning settlements to ashes, leaving no survivors.
The Dragon Warlord was excommunicated by the Holy See in Ravenna, in response he looted and burned two monasteries to the ground.
Unbeknownst to him at the time, he had attracted the attention of an ancient vampire, the elder Grecian vampire Zeva, a former warlord herself in time of the ancient kingdsdoms. Zeva watched Xander for over two years before she decided that he was a delightful scourge, and possibly the one to finally do what she so desired most, destroy Rome. As confident as she was, she needed to for Xander to be rid of King Gunderic, who still pursued him, intent to mount his head at the foot of his throne. Zeva guided the Vandal army to Xander’s forces. Now it would be up to Xander to defeat this enemy and prove that he was chosen by Ares to destroy Rome. During the skirmishes a Misstep lead Xander’s forces into a narrow mountain pass and as a result his numbers decimated, only about 100 of his men escaped, managing to find sanctuary in the area caves, which they sealed behind them. The remaining Vandals left sure of his fate, touting their victory and calling themselves Dragon-slayers. Zeva was dismayed, but she still believed Xander to be the one chosen by Ares, now tempered with defeat he could possibly become even more dangerous. She made her move while the were still in the caves, Isolated and alone she approached him and made him her offer, The power to destroy his enemies those he could not crush, the longevity to watch them wither and die. Xander was already excommunicated, so his fate was sealed, why not? Better to rule in hell than serve in heaven. Xander is turned and educated on the vital information he needs to survive, and he learns several ancient battle secrets from the elder. She departs for Rome under the agreement that she shall see him and his army there soon.
Xander’s remaining men waited out the winter in the caves, when they finally do emerge there are only 40 or so, Xander’s 2 chief lieutenants (Koros and Gram) are now Vampires as well and all of the remaining troops are fanatically loyal to their leaders. Over the next few years Xander rebuilt his army this time subtly. In 453ad Xander meet the Vandal army once again the field of battle, this time the outcome is much different, his is army of blood familiars, fed vampire Vitea to make them strong and angry. They soundly defeat the vandals and incorporates them into his forces. He then goes after his next target, Rome.
In 455 the new Vandal army attacked and conquered Rome with such a fury that their name becomes synonaomus with destruction. The looting and sacking of Rome makes Xander rich beyond his wildest dreams but he finds he has no ambitions to being a sovereign. It is in Rome when the dreams begin, his wife is there, he has not dreamed of her since the first battle, his rage had masked his grief, but with his enemies defeated the rage could no longer protect him. The dreams are at first blissful, he has his Flanna back, at least for a time; the dreams convince him that enough blood has been spilled. Xander’s forces withdraw from Rome and as a parting gift, set it ablaze.
The Romans though are able to stop the fires, Rome survives, shaken and broken, but it survives. His forces cut their way back up through Italy, but now with his heart no longer in it the army starts to fragment. The Army falls apart without his fire to keep them in line; his lieutenants go their own ways with their offspring and familiars.
Not quite sure what to do with himself He travels as a nomad; he studies battle and combat with Masters from all over the world. When everyone who knew his face is long dead he returned to Saxony (now France) and begins sharing some of the Martial secrets he has learned with a select few students.
After training four generations of warriors he departs France and begins to wander across Europe, Asia and Russia. Xander traveled the world learning, the once ruthless warrior has become a scholar, he met several of his kind in his travels and learned much about the world around him. Eventually he discovered Business, a modern battleground, where a man could build his forces and crush his competition, this suited him well.
Xander became the Founder and sole owner of Draconis Inc. his management company from which he acquires, creates and builds businesses.
