Lord Xander was the crime-lord and boss of the Maestros family in New Capenna. He was killed by Ob Nixilis during the events of Streets of New Capenna.[1]
Description
The vampire Lord Xander was an avid fashionista, who had been alive since before the founding of the city.[2]. A former assassin, injuries to his right knee often forced him to use a cane concealing a hidden blade outside his personal quarters.[3][1]
He was one of the five heads of families that were appointed by the archdemons and original signatories of the contract that created New Capenna. The deal made him part demon himself, as demonstrated by his long horns, one of which was tipped with gold.[3] He is the progenitor of the plane's other vampires, including his former lover Evelyn.[4]
In his quarters, Xander has a hidden storeroom cramped with all manner of ancient relics. These were the last remaining histories of the founding of New Capenna, a time he no longer remembered due to the distortions of time and the magic of the deal.
On the night of the New Year during the Crescendo, Xander was killed by Ob Nixilis. He willed control of the Maestros to his deputy, Anhelo.[1]
