Xanos

"'Fear not little one. We will have the healer set the bone to mend properly... and one day, by Nobanion, you will soar through the clouds.' -Xanos comforting a young broken-winged Xara"

Xanos Trotstrider
A Centaur & leader of his tribe, is the adoptive father of Xara. Although he wanted nothing to do with the baby girl at first, it was when he saw her wings that he interpreted as a sign from Nobanion as a fortunate Omen. He named her in honor of his own departed daughter, seeing the strength of the same Iron will in her eyes.

Xanos raised and taught Xara, instilling the tenants of Nobanion within her. When Xara had reached the age of a teen, they encountered a wounded Paladin in the forest, Sir Ivan. Orcs were in pursuit, and Xanos gave his life to hold back the Orcs so that Sir Ivan & Xara could escape.
