11 Background
22  
33 Xanthe (voiced by Mandi Symonds) is the oldest member of the Vrakhiri, the ancient vampires who rule Vale Sangora under Brencis's leadership. She is older "than seems possible": the exact span of her existence has not been stated, but she predates the other Vrakhiri by a considerable margin.

55 Before she was turned, Xanthe was a priestess on a remote Greek island. She has since forgotten the island's name. That detail says a lot about how long she's been alive. Entire places have slipped from her memory.

77 Personality
88  
99 Xanthe's body and mind both bear the marks of deep time. She hears voices from beyond the pale and mutters under her breath, which can look like madness. But the developers have noted that she understands "the true nature of the world better than anyone." Whatever she perceives through those voices, it gives her knowledge that others lack.

1212 Deep down, she is terrified. The Bulletin Board #1 description makes this explicit. What an immortal being who has seen everything fears is itself an open question, and likely one the game will explore.

1414 Abilities
1515  
1616 Xanthe possesses blood control powers, including Blood Whips (ranged attacks manifested through manipulation of blood) and a Boiling Blood ability. Coen can obtain some of her abilities by draining her, as the game's vampire power acquisition system works through defeating and draining other vampires.

1919 Role in the Game
2020  
2121 As one of the four Vrakhiri, Xanthe controls her own territory within Vale Sangora. Her relationship with Brencis and the other Vrakhiri is part of the game's political landscape. The developers have said the Vrakhiri are not automatically hostile. Some can potentially become allies depending on the player's choices.
