Biography[]
Born the daughter of a great Wizard in the Seven Cities, Xana's life changed abruptly when a fit of jealous rage led her to conjure an Imp into the folds of her cheating sweetheart's robes. Burnt at the stake for the crime of summoning Demons, Xana awoke from her grizzly death as a Succubus in the castle of the Arch-Demon Kha-Beleth, deep in Sheogh. Intrigued by her new life, Xana is content to do her master's bidding. Sweet and sincere and a lover of poetry, Xana is possibly the only resident of Sheogh who never speaks a false word.OffBck
Xana was once the beautiful daughter of a great wizard in the Seven Cities. Alluring and learned in the arts of magic, she grew up with a natural talent for getting what she wanted. But her fortune took a turn for the worst when she found her lover with another woman. A vengeful Xana conjured an imp into the folds of her former sweetheart's robes and was burnt at the stake for her use of black magic. After her death, she awoke in the castle of Kha-Beleth. The Arch-Demon had seen that he might have use for her and claimed her soul to serve him for an eternity. Xana was forged into a succubus, a natural role for her, given her talents. Though intrigued by her new existence and ultimately loyal to her master, she still harbors a desire for freedom.
She first appears as a Succubus in the service of Kha-Beleth. Shortly before the Second Eclipse, he assigned her to assist Kiril Griffin and ensure that Azkaal, the Demon Prince of Destruction, remains imprisoned in his body. [1]
Four centuries later, she was summoned to Ashan by demonist Phenrig and bound to the soul of Kha-Beleth and Isabel's son, Sareth, in order to accompany him in his quest for the Skull of Shadows to break Sar-Elam's barrier between Sheogh and Ashan however she quickly grew infatuated with the young Demon Messiah (Sareth), flirting with him and making jealous snide remarks about the girl who led the expedition - Leanna, to the point that she betrays Kha-Beleth and tries to convince Sareth to use the Skull of Shadows to fix the flaw in Sar-Elam's barrier to permanently seal Sheogh away instead of breaking it so Sareth can rule the world instead of his father Kha-Beleth.
After Arantir kills Sareth and Xana offers him her power to revive him as a demon, Leanna notices his demonic aura and asks him to renounce his demonic power, annoying Xana who points out that Leanna is not tolerant to Sareth's nature (that is, if Sareth chooses to rescue Leanna in Nar-Heresh).
If Sareth chooses to purify himself into the Sanctuary of Ylath in Stonehelm then he banishes Xana from his body back to Sheogh and Leanna is happy about it however if he chooses to keep Xana then Leanna becomes hostile and leaves him no choice but to kill her, much to Xana's joice.
Then if Sareth chooses to free his father Kha-Beleth from his prison against Xana's suggestions then she pretends to have been loyal to Kha-Beleth who answers her that he is aware of how "loyal" she has been and promises her that "Hell will echo with her screams of loyalty", much to her despair, however if Sareth chooses to seal Sheogh away forever then Kha-Beleth promises them that he will return eventually, and then he will teach them both the deep meaning of pain and fear, before he gets sealed away leaving Sareth and Xana together free to do as they please on Ashan, that is, if Sareth didn't purify himself in Stonehelm and banished Xana back to Sheogh in which case Leanna is the one with him in the end.
