Biography

Early life

Little is known of Xavier's life before he became an Assassin. At some point, he was charged with overseeing a mission, but all the Assassins under his command were killed, including Joseph.[1] In 2015, Gavin Banks put Xavier in charge of leading technician Kody and field agent Galina Voronina, with the trio becoming a small mobile Assassin cell.[2]

Joseph's return

In September 2015, it was revealed that Joseph was alive and had given away the location of a Piece of Eden to the Templars, though a secret message from him claimed that it was actually a ruse intended to draw out a high-ranking Templar. Xavier's cell remained divided over whether or not to trust their compatriot, with Galina believing they should simply kill him, rather than risk the leaking of Assassin secrets. However, Xavier, reluctant to see Joseph as a traitor, decided they needed to verify his claims before taking further actions.[2]

With Kody's help, they located Charlotte de la Cruz, an employee at Malta Banking Corporation who was descended from an Assassin active during the Salem witch trials. Traveling to San Diego to recruit her, Xavier and Galina introduced themselves to Charlotte, but were interrupted by the arrival of Templar agents. A fight broke out between the two factions in Charlotte's apartment, with the Assassins eventually emerging victorious.[2]

Galina criticizing Joseph

Taking the unconscious Charlotte to their hideout located near the Salton Sea, Xavier introduced her to Kody and then brought her up to speed regarding the cell's mission. They subsequently put their new recruit into an Animus, but found that she had difficulty staying synchronized with her ruthless ancestor.[2] Charlotte's continued struggles caused tensions between Xavier and Galina to rise, with the former hanging onto his beliefs that Joseph was on their side, while the latter grew ever more convinced that Xavier was being naive.[3]
