Xenteroth

Xenteroth, the Chessmaster, also known as High Regent Xenteroth, was the second Caster and author of the Third Age.

Appearance
Xenteroth wielded a mace and was a wizard. His motif is gears. His symbol is the letters HXR nestled together. (Picture to come when I draw and scan it.)

History
Xenteroth was the second Caster. He enjoyed a long series of adventures before discovering his true destiny. He was helped along at every turn by his predecessor, Talos, who spoke to him often and helped him come into his own as a wizard and a leader. When the time came for him to collect her soul for the ritual, she revealed that he had been living through the same part of the timestream she had, and she begged him to ally with her and help seal the Prime for good instead of rebooting it. He decided these were lies meant to buy Talos more time to live, and struck her down. During the casting, Tyro, Barron Ganth and ABC turned on Xenteroth, declaring that this was dooming them all and he should have listened to Talos. In the ensuing battle, the civilizations of Ravinia and Eldergrin, as well as the entire Eastern Continent, were temporarily lost to time.

After his Storm, Xenteroth desynced himself from time in order to make the most of his age-long existence. He tried to manipulate the outcome of the world so that the next Storm would not be necessary, including marching armies through the breaks between planes in an attempt to establish a more stable political structure. However, when the time came, he surrendered his soul to Ashra willingly, exhorting that she should do the same when her time came.
