Xi is a Chinese Royal who inherited the role of the King of Sky of the Four Legendary Kingdoms.

History[]

Early History[]

Xi was born as a royal. He eventually became a member of the Kingdom of Sky that included his Chinese homeland, as part of the ancient group known as the Four Legendary Kingdoms. Because of his membership in the Four Kingdoms, Xi was taught about the true history of mankind, as well as learning of the five trials set by super-ancient beings to test humanity.

The Three Secret Cities[]

In the days after King Kenzo Depon's death in the Underworld, following the Great Games of the Hydra, a successor for the title of King of Sky was soon found in Xi, as Depon had left specific instructions to make him the new King in apparent preparation for his sons' demise during the Great Games. Annoyed at the disarray that Jack West Jr had caused his Kingdom, as well as the others, Xi and the other Kingdoms arranged to have the Governor of the Royal Prison of Erebus, Yago DeSaxe, hunt down Jack and Hades (for failing in his duties as King of Underworld to secure a King of Kings and for siding with Jack) in retaliation.

After Yago eventually captured Jack in London, Xi joined a conference call with the other active Kings (Caldwell and Orlando Compton-Jones), where Yago confirmed his capture of Jack and Hades.

When the Kingdom of Underworld decided to allow Dion DeSaxe to inherit his father's throne, Xi and the other two Kings attended his coronation via videolink in accordance with the Four Kingdoms' tradition that they be present for the ascension of a new King.

When the time for the ritual for the Trial of the Cities at the Altar of the Cosmos arrived, Xi joined Orlando, Caldwell, Dion, Sphinx and their processions to witness Orlando complete the fourth trial. As Xi gasped upon witnessing Sphinx stab Orlando with the Sword of the Rock, he and Caldwell were killed as they were shot in the back by Cardinal Ricardo Mendoza as part of Sphinx's coup.

Skills[]

  • Ancient Knowledge: As a high-ranking royal in the Four Legendary Kingdoms, Xi has been taught many things regarding the true history of mankind.
  • Multilingualism: As a high-ranking royal and potential successor to being the King of Sky, Xi likely required the need to speak multiple languages aside from his native Chinese. He is presumably able to speak English at the very least.

Assets[]

  • Kingdom of Sky Territory: One of the four long-lasting kingdoms of royalty that have existed in secret since the earliest ages of mankind, which Xi took control of upon inheriting the throne from Depon.
