One of many orphaned in the streets of Ul'dah, Xana'h has survived a long twenty-eight years stealing, lying, and cheating. In his youth, he jumped from street gang to street gang, ran with the black market dealers, and wormed around the underbelly until a betrayal had him nearly surfacing half dead.At twenty-two he's knee deep in somnus and whatever else keeps him barely tethered to reality when an old, scholarly woman picks him up by the scruff and shakes some purpose back into him. She teaches him to read, to write, and see the stars and passes on her knowledge of astrology to him before, at twenty-five, she disappears and leaves her deck of cards for him.Presently, Xana'h is a menace at best, and what constitutes as worst depends on who you are to him. He makes a living conning people, be it fortune telling or the clothes off your back, and selling drugs under the table. He's keen to run with a group, but be wary; though loyal, his only vested interest is what he gains, and what he wants is anyone's guess.
Charlatan? No - Sharlayan! Surely you misheard? A conman masquerading as a fortune teller from Sharlayan, this man loves to cause problems on purpose. Were you expecting a plentiful fortune? A bounty of good news? Charmed by his... charms? Now you're 500 gil out and all you've got to show for it is a lousy doomsday forecast and light one less piece of jewelry.
You Got Spice? A former drug runner for some thugs and gangs, now he operates out of his own jacket to sell you the latest and greatest for a price. If you're looking for drugs, you'll probably want to look for him. The keyword is sarsaparilla.
Home Is Where The Sand Is You can find this scoundrel skulking the back streets of Ul'dah in the evenings. It isn't so much a "home" as it is a place where he's sunk his roots into. If he isn't barking at people in Pearl Lane to fetch their fortunes, he's intently watching the fights in the Arena. Rarely, you can find him out in the Sagolii Desert meditating.
Old Scars He ran with all sorts of people in his youth, in the underbelly of Ul'dah. It's been a decade since he's dipped his toe into it, though his name might come up rarely; he was loyal, smart, and dead as far as anyone's concerned. Are you from his past, or are you looking for him?
