Xavier Xanatos
"I know. Looking at me, you might not think that I was Master of the UNiverse, would you? Perhaps you only see the brilliant blue eyes or the flawless cheekbones. You might observe the custom tailored suit, fashionable but modest, complete with a tie during business hours but with bare feet. You might instead observe the Aston Martin or the Lambroghini I rode in before I stepped into this building.
You might notice these things, because they are obvious, flashy, not done in a spirit of boasting but rather they are a reflection of the man that wears them, drives them, owns them. A self-made man who came to this country as an immigrant when he was young and used the gifts he was born with to make his own path and cement his own legacy.
I came into this world with nothing, and I have turned nothing into everything. Xanatos Industries is a Fortune 500 Company, traded publically and incredibly diversified across all fields, all industries, all throughout the world. I am the principle shareholder, controlling 72.7 percent of the stock issued by Xanatos Industries. I conduct business all over the world, have contacts in every major nation, and business partners from all walks of life. I do not mean to boast when I say it, yet it must be said. I am a man who has everything.
What do you get for the man who has everything? Something that money cannot buy: honesty, integrity, companionship. Make no mistake, I can find a woman with which to spend hours in gratuitous fornication. But the act grows empty without more. I want people that want to know me for me, not for my connections, not for my wealth, or even for my mind. But for the man who has all these things and who is seldom sure if the friend he makes is really his friend, or someone who merely covets the doors I can open, the access I can grant, the money I can offer.
Which is why Elena is so special to me."
The Past
Xavier Xanatos was born of an immigrant family that came to America, and which turned the American dream to their own benefit. It helped that Xavier was born a prodigy, although the more politically correct term is that Xavier is ‘gifted’. Xavier was marked out early for great things, and then took his life in his own direction. He graduated from High School at 12 years old and had his first advanced degree six years later. After he turned 18, he went a different path, and joined the Navy. He did it for several different reasons: to prove his own worth, to hone his body as well as his mind, and to give back to the country that gave him so much.
He served for ten years, and every penny he made he sent back to his parents. His parents in turn took this money and created a company, Xanatos Incorporated. Over that ten-year time span, Xavier was accepted into the Navy SEALs program and he served in that capacity for several years. When he finally left the service, he came back to a company that had quadrupled its net worth every year for a decade. Xanatos Incorporated had become a multinational conglomerate and a Fortune 500 company.
It was shortly after he returned home that he was first approached by the Illuminati. He accepted the invitation to join the clandestine organization and with the connections gained from that organization has made several deals which have further enhanced the prospects of his company. Prior to leaving Atlanta, he married his companion, Elena Iacovelli.
Xavier is a person in whom routine is not only important but also critical, not only for the functionining of business, but also in his personal life. As such, change is rare, but oftentimes important. Convinced that Atlanta had nothing further to offer him, the businessman set his eyes on other places and remembering a trip to the Alps one CHristmas decided he would like to visit a mountainous region. Denver is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the country and has mountains located conveniently close. It seems like an excellent place to settle in for a while.
