Xylos
<It is not nice/polite to pry>In one way or another, the modern age lends its voice to the existence of Lord Xylos. Without him, the Quiet Years would have continued in mediocrity, with only the Blooming of the Grand Sakura Tree to mark the passing of time. It was the exile of Xylos and his crew that led to them reaching into the minds of the Wanting, trapped in a demi-plane between realms and aching to get out. This reaching led to Thalia dragging Xylos and his retinue through to Levis and starting the Seige of Nightmares. This reaching led to Naya and her romance Bindings. It led to demon raiders in the Digitos Mangroves. The Breach, led to the evolution of Br1n and the need for the Br1n network. And that is not even mentioning the Second demon war. The Age of Artistry dedicates itself to Xylos in hatred and awe and Levis is forever changed by him.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Some have called his form 'liquid smooth'. With Byronic hair, and thick body hair mixed with areas of lush fur, Xylos is muscles atop a vantablack form. He keeps his body fighting fit, though he has rarely seen combat outside of sparring or witches battles - of which he is not one.
Body Features
Two horns sit upon his head, jagged in their irregularity, often adorned with rings close to the scalp in gold or silver. Long talons of perfect manicure lay upon hands adorned in too many rings. And his skin roils with shimmers of colour, like a film of oil on water. Thick fingers, clawed feet, a body shaped by years to disquieten but not feel too foreign to those that call Levis home. Maybe in a few thousand more years Xylos will have gained something new.
Facial Features
Will who and how Xylos is, you'd expect sharp cheekbones and a strong, masculine face, instead, thick pads of flesh give the demon a more youthful counternance, and a narrow, pointed chin matches with a pair of small, rounded ears, and a broad, flat nose.
Mental characteristics
Sexuality
If any Lust demon was a demon of Lust it would be Xylos. 2 wives, an off and on again consort, several with complex manner of pact or deal. There is little Xylos will deny himself when it comes to connections and the carnal arts between consenting adults.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Xylos will always try to keep what he feels is him and his safe. The scope may change, the people and the locations moving over the centuries, but Xylos will always look out for his little bubble no matter the cost and irrespective of if the person or thing thinks they are in his domain. The city of Natare learnt that the hard way.
Social
Mannerisms
Master of the blunt rhetorical, Xylos has never had a conversation he has not turned into one long line of questions. Often seen with a glass of something, or a nibble of something else, the demon is constantly trying to blend the affect of Levis into the traditions of Infernus, having spent thousands of years, forced to observe the people he now calls neighbours.
He often tries at first meet to display disinterest, his voice often giving away what he truly seeks in first meet, but the attempt is always there.

Thank you for reading, feel free to give feedback.
Does he say two words at once when you do the slashy thing? He's a very interesting demon, for sure. I like that he is very protective over what is his.
