Xane

"Hey there, princey. Thanks for settin' me free! The name's Xane. I hail from a land few have heard of an even fewer have seen. I won't trouble you with the details. Me and my folk have the power to transform into other people. We can shape-shift, you see. When Doluna caught on, they started threatenin' me. Told me to join their army or "face my doom." Hah! Well, I wasn't about to waste my considerable talent on those evil coots! You, on the other hand...You've got character. Say, why don't we team up? I do owe you for savin' my hide. And I think you'll find my consider talents are...quite considerable."

- Xane

Xane (チェイニー, Cheine, referred to as Chainey in fan translations) is a rare Manakete individual. One of the few Divine Dragon survivors of the war against the Earth Dragons, he lost his ability to morph into Dragon form but instead was able to take form of another person.

He works under Gotoh, despite their differing views of humanity, and in Monshō no Nazo he acts as a guide for Marth in his quest to reach Gotoh and follow his ancestor Anri. In the end, though, he once again vanishes.

Personality
He is a carefree and somewhat effeminate person who likes to play jokes (at one point he annoys Tiki by immitating her and repeating everything she says). He has a dislike towards humans, to the extent that he sympathized with the Manaketes who formed the Doluna Empire and was uncaring of who won the battle between Medeus and Anri.

Nevertheless, he does possess some senses of honor and duty, as shown to his loyalty to Marth and Gotoh. He has a strange fondness for Marth, constantly referring to him affectionately as "Princey". He can be supportive to others, as shown in some of his talks with Tiki.
