—Xeno, reminiscing about his past
Xeno is a playable character from TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga. He is a sixteen-year-old swordsman with a polite and kindhearted personality. He is stated to resemble Tia, which hints that they are related. Depending on events triggered during the story, he can become Yuni's love interest.
Profile[]
As a toddler, Xeno was found on the outskirts of Trente and adopted by a farmer, who died when he was five. Afterwards, he was captured by slave traders and sold to a wealthy family of nobles. He was forced to work both day and night without much food while enduring bullying from the family's children. One day, he lost his temper and smacked one of the children across the face. As punishment, the family's master beat Xeno with a cattle prod while telling him that he was not human. Due to his painful life, Xeno began to deeply hate his parents and cursed them for bringing him into the world.
At the age of thirteen, Xeno was rescued by Captain General Vals of Granada and thereafter joined the Sea Lion. He is introduced when Holmes finds Katri on one of Maerhen's ships. Unlike Holmes, Xeno treats Katri with great kindness, which causes her to introduce herself and show him the Ring of Salia. After Katri flees from the crew due to Holmes' harsh behavior, he and Yuni begin searching for her. In the midst of a battle against hundreds of monsters, the two reunite with Katri. They are also reinforced by Runan and his army, who aid them in defeating the monsters. Later in the game, he can rescue Yuni from a slave trader if she accepts an offer of drugged milk.
In the ending, Xeno is ordered by Holmes to remain at Katri's side. However, the two of them eventually separate, as she decides to travel around the world alongside Holmes. If Yuni was captured by the slave trader earlier in the game, he remains at her side and learns about her tragic past.

Xeno is a great example of an otherwise decent unit who is completely forgettable. He comes underleveled with bases similar to Runan's. Even though he does have a favorable joining position in his recruitment map, he barely does anything noteworthy there.
The problem with Xeno isn't that he is in a niche-heavy game. Vega has great durability with Schram and excels against Monsters. Shigen has a 40-use Miracle Charm for a weapon. Loffaru, Roger and Mintz have great mobility outdoors while Lionel is great indoors (and can wield Lances there). Xeno in contrast has no real niche to speak of, and has a hard time setting himself apart from the crowded infantry class. Even Barts and Samson have a better justification to be used early on since they do well against the bandits.
Ultimately, the only reason why people use Xeno is because they like him. He isn't necessary for anything, and the player isn't missing anything by benching him.
