Xanthus Numicius

Appearance
Eurovision Xanthus

Personality
Just awful, just a horrible little man who everyone loves anyway.

Background
The Numicii were once a powerful and very well-off family—renowned for producing prominent members of the Itreyan magistrate and amassing a considerable fortune over their long years of influence. It is a name that still commands respect, only because very few people (primarily their creditors) are aware of how the family’s wealth has been squandered.

For Xanthus Numicius, the lavishly furnished front rooms of his home giving way to threadbare carpets and leaking windows in the family’s living quarters has always been the norm—and a source of shame. The family presents themselves well to the public, but schemes behind closed doors to overturn their fortunes in secret. Gnaeus Numicius—the head of the family and Xanthus’s father—serves in the Senate, as does his eldest son, Atlas; both have clandestine dealings with other Marrowborn families to capitalize on the political capital that they still possess. His sisters have dutifully put aside their own happiness for marriages into wealthier homes. Xanthus, who was born and raised a girl until he insisted otherwise, does not have that option. What he does have is an innate magical talent, one that can be put to use by the Red Church.
