All About the XCO

Today, instead of posting chapter 5 (which is very good and answers alot of questions that you have had about the Assassin and the Chago), I am beginning a section on explaining what the XCO is, and their supporters. I will talk first in general, then very briefly about members.

Goal: The goal of the XCO has not quite yet been revealed; however, in F+I it seems that taking out Congressional is very important. The eventual goal is dominition over the country club world. To accomplish this goal the Leader has set up specific steps, with the most important step being capturing the 10 virtues and then extracting their energy, thus killing the container.

Teams: XCO members work usually in groups of two. The teams were created by the Leader to complement each other; however, alot of teams continually change. The teams in Fire and Ice were: Xariley and Rhynex, Fellurx and Ximek, Lixenol and Beckrex, Santixeds and the Assassin, and Phixilp and Haxll. Throughout the book, Haxll is usually seen with different people for example he is seen with Rhynex and a couple of times with the Assassin. In Cursed Twilight Omens, Xariley is parterned with Ximek, and the Assassin is partnered with Rhynex. However eventually Fellurx is parterned with Rhynex. The organization is divided into groups of two so that there is one 'master' and one 'student'.

Rings: Each XCO wears a single, unique ring, and no two members wear the ring on the same finger. In Cursed Twilight Omens, you will understand the importance of the rings. In Fire and Ice, Phixilp promises a couple of A-Team members a ring if they support his rebellion against the XCO. Each member also has a different color ring: the Leader- ???, The Assassin- pink, Santixeds- ???, Lixenol- ???, Fellurx- ???, Xariley- ???, Ximek- ???, Rhynex- sapphire blue, Phixilp- light blue, Beckrex- ???, Haxll- ruby red. That's 11 rings but only 10 fingers, the reason why is because the Leader's ring doesn't count.

Clothing: Black cloaks with hoods, however the hoods are pulled back whenever they are discovered. They also wear leather boots with black gloves, however sometimes they remove their gloves.

A- Team: wears similar outfits but without the rings. They also seem to travel in groups of two, but they never swith teams so the teams are: Yurra and Deidara, and Thomas and Ivan. This is a group which supports the XCO, but one of them might become a full time XCO member at some point during CTO.

Current Members of the XCO: the Leader- ???

The Assassin: is a missing criminal from Congressional who seems to have close ties there. She also seems to have a mysterious sister who thinks that she is dead. Her weapon is a scythe and she controls the flowers and grass around her. She is presumably dead because the Chago killed her. She wears a pink ring on her left pinky finger.

Santixeds: is a missing criminal whose defection is unknown. He seems to be closely related to the Assassin and is close to the Leader. His weapon is unknown because he has yet to need it; therefore his element is also a mystery.

Lixenol: is a missing criminal from an unknown place. He is very large and muscular and seems to be on close terms with Beckrex. Other than this information, not much is known about him.

Fellurx: is a missing criminal whose defection is unknown. His element is illusion but his weapon is mysterious because he hasn't needed one. He, in F+I, uses Andrew to kill Haxll, hinting that he is a very manipulative character. He seems to be very close to the Leader, and is tolerated and respected by all of the members. In F+I, Beckrex says that the only way to remove Phixilp is if Fellurx agrees because he is a good schemer. In CTO, his master plan is revealed, which involves Andrew, who he is very interested in.

Xariley: is a missing criminal from Chevy Chase. This former rock star is very greedy and is a bounty hunter. Other than this, he is very mysterious, except that he is the one who lures Haxll to Fellurx by attempting to shoot him with his laser guns, which is probably his weapon. He tends to ramble alot.

Ximek: is a missing criminal from Chevy Chase. He is a glutton because he is obsessed with gambling and usually speaks gamble terms. His element is time because he helps Andrew finish the survival test during the Gold Ti exam, by moving time back 10 minutes. In another scene, he is seen stoping time so that Fellurx can talk to Andrew alone. His weapon is unknown though

Rhynex: is a missing criminal from Bethesda. This shark-like person is very lazy and wears a blue ring. He brandishes a long samehada (sword made of shark skin) which is wrapped in white tape (like a tennis grip). His element is water.

Beckrex: is a missing criminal from Columbia. He is very tall and had a hatred for Phixilp. Although he was recently inducted into the XCO, he has some athourity (or at least more than Phixilp and Haxll). He seems to be close friends to Lixenol, but other than this he is a mystery.

Former Members: Phixilp and Haxll (more about them later)
