He keeps his brown hair somewhat long and scraggly, while his clothing is an assortment of old Cockney and Rim world fashions, often consisting of a black peat cock, dark blue military trousers, a black sleeveless shirt, and a well tooled gun belt.  He is often armed with a heavy revolver and a large hunting knife.  Despite his permanent tousled appearance and five o'clock shadow, he still seem clean enough to be considered some what attractive to women.  At least, that's what his partner tells him.<br/><br/>Personality: Gruff, demanding, and a downright bastard when the time calls for it, Xavier doesn't pull any punches when it comes time to get down to business.  However, beneath it all, he's a decent fellow who prefers to associate with salt-of-the-earth types, who still think that honesty is a good virtue and lying never did anyone any good.  He's extremely loyal to those he calls friends, often to a fault.  To strangers, he can be somewhat apathetic and distant, but once he warms up to you, he does alright.  He's a mean drunk though.<br/><br/>Age: 29<br/><br/>Height/Weight: 6'2"/185 lbs<br/><br/>Race: Caucasian<br/><br/>History: Having been just a teenager when the war was ending, Xavier enlisted just at the end of the conflict with the Alliance recruitment post out on Osiris.  Hailing from a family of drifters who had come to Osiris in hope of living and working for some rather well off relatives, Xavier took the opportunity to "see the 'Verse" as all the recruitment posters were telling him.  That ended up being just one of the lies the Alliance had been telling from the start.  After graduating from boot camp, Xavier was thrown into an infantry brigade as a platoon sergeant and sent into the Battle of Serenity Valley.  What he say there had him haunted for the rest of his days and he soon found himself dishonorably discharged for drinking too damned much on post and for slugging his commanding officer.  Cast adrift, Xavier floated from mercenary company to freelance worker, working as a bounty hunter for almost a decade.  During the low points, he even served as a bouncer for one of Persephone's rundown dock side bars.  Luck was with him one night when he won a beaten down but space worthy Firefly-class transport in a poker game.  Since that night, he's been making what money he can in hopes of getting the ship fueled up and into orbit, to start a new life of his own choosing.
