"Advanced training it is, then!" Xanthis beamed when he spoke, a glint in his eyes betraying excitement at the prospect if his attitude had not conveyed that message. He was a man of action, who enjoyed self-improvement as a pastime. Training to him was less of a chore or a mandatory practice...

The door swung through the air and struck the sorcerer Sith squarely in the chest, most likely driving all traces of air from his lungs and perhaps breaking several ribs in the process. Xanthis found it almost poetic, that he was using parts of the University to defend the Luka Sene. After the...

Xanthis held both lightsabers aloft for a moment before assuming a Jar'kai variant of his Niman stance, displaying the promise of proficiency with that lightsaber art. Just as he went to step forward however, the Knight relaxed his stance and straightened. He was smiling and nodding in...

The kinetic wave of energy had the desired effect, being that it put some space between Xanthis and Arian. Even while the latter was flying, Xanthis was leaping back onto his feet and straightening himself and his stance. Though he had originally intended to press his attack, his hesitation a...

When Arian's arm flew up, Xanthis hesitated for a moment and his blade slowed for just that fraction of a second. It was not that he was unafraid of striking his Padawan, considering the fact that lightsabers on their lowest settings did little more than mildly sting. No, he hesitated because...

There was a mixture of awe and rising concern as Xanthis made his dash through the hangar bay. He had only approximated the number of vessels in the hangar without actually counting them, but now he could clearly see just how many there truly were. Beyond that, he could also see that there was...

And there was the second lightsaber, which was clearly not meant to be used as a mere replacement weapon but was a part of Arian's style in full. Xanthis was paying attention to every move Arian made, though not to pinpoint weakness as much as to study how he fought. Dual-length sabers...

Whereas Xanthis had originally seen the Republic's men as support for himself, his eyebrows rose in admiration as he realized that he was apparently playing support to them. Not that he was ever one to complain about having competent teammates! Speaking of teammates, the Supernova was a nice...

Xanthis nodded to himself when he heard Kip say that he was displacing to an eastern position, and was about to leap down the mountain towards a nearby speeder. At the last moment however, he thought better of it and went in the opposite direction: up. The mountain that he was occupying was...

There were many things that Xanthis was expecting at the moment, but a sudden shift into Ataru from Makashi was not one of them. Instead of striking his student on the shoulder, the Miraluka found his lightsaber being knocked out of his hand. 'Huh. Now when was the last time I was properly...

*Looks up from book and gives a thumbs up*

Makashi? Xanthis felt mild surprise at seeing his Padawan take a Form II stance, as Makashi was rarely the form of choice for a Padawan or even most Knights. He would be interested to see how well Arian had learned the duelist's form. He was also curious to see how it would interact with his...

Xanthis took a moment to look at Kip, scowling slightly to make up for the fact that he did not have eyes to glare with. Then his scowl became a smirk as he laughed quietly and gave the man a thumb's up and turning his attention back to the camp. The smirk quickly melted away as business came...

Traversing the familiar halls of the Luka Sene was akin to walking in a dream for Xanthis, who was unused to having battles become personal matters. As he walked towards his destination, he reached out with a hand and ran it along the wall of the University. The cool stone brought him back to...

Occurring chronologically directly after Getting Started. After officially claiming Arian as his Padawan learner, Xanthis's first thought was that he needed to learn what his new student knew. He needed to know what Arian had already been taught, and how well he had absorbed his previous...

The General continued his assault against Xanthis's defenses, immediately ruling out Makashi and Soresu from the list of possible styles wielded by his opponent. The offensive that the General displayed was too clumsy for the second form and too aggressive for the third. 'And yet...' Being a...

On the edge of a cliff overlooking the mining operation, Xanthis stared down at the Cragmoloids meandering through their little mining camp. He could feel the misery collectively felt by the creatures, and he could understand it as well. Looking only a scant distance away from the camp, he...

At the end of his charge, Xanthis reached a third man and positioned himself such that the man's comrades would have had to shoot through his body to reach Xanthis with their weapons. As predicted, none of them did in the short flash of time that was given before the offensive continued. The...

The hail was sent, but no answer was received. A heavy silence began to weigh down within the cockpit of the freighter, broken only by the sigh of the Knight who sat in the commanding chair. Looking out, he could clearly see the multitude of starships in the hangar from his seat, a sight which...

Within his personal quarters aboard his starship, Xanthis snapped out of a deep trance. His attention returned from being focused on the Force to being focused on himself, and yet he could still feel the disturbance. Something was out in the great expanse of space, something dark and powerful...
