Xanthor's portrait from Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer.
Court sage of 
Catherine and 
Roland. Xanthor was instrumental in saving the world from Escaton's cataclysm. He constructed the Conflux Key that allowed the heroes of Jadame to enter Escaton's Crystal and, from there, reach the Destroyer himself on the Plane Between Planes and stop the cataclysm.
With the crisis averted, Xanthor did not join the Ironfists when they continued their voyage back to Enroth. Fascinated by the lands of Jadame, he decided to stay there. Xanthor also intended to study the Crystal's shard.
Lost Lore 
[edit | hide | hide all]
Xanthor was first introduced in a series of short stories that take place shortly before and around the start of the events depicted in Restoration of Erathia, delving into the background lore of Antagarich. He is a professor at the University of Erathia, along with Marcus Finch, another central figure in these stories. It is also mentioned that Xanthor is 
Agar's nephew and has 'little training in the mystical arts'.
He is the narrator or protagonist in the following stories:
Horn of the Abyss 
[edit | hide]
He was captured and imprisoned by the barbarians and eventually rescued by 
Bidley. In gratitude for being saved, he told Bidley the location of Island of the Vengeful Serpent - the resting place of the 
Horn of the Abyss. But the truth was, he hoped that the pirate would die.
Later, after finally getting the Horn of the Abyss, Bidley was asked to give it to Gavin Magnus by 
Solmyr. He quickly suspected Xanthor of telling the Wizards about the Horn.
