Personality
[ Short Ver: A man who acts about as dead as his appearance at times but he is a strong soul underneath with an attention to details and affinity for the deceased. ]
Monotonous in nature, his voice alone seems to tell thousands of words about his personality that even he doesn't have to speak. However, there is a bit of a misleading nature to him. For the man, despite his apparent nature is not apathetic by any means. He is a man full of emotion underneath the veil and an almost unbreakable drive. Nonetheless, Xanthus is also graced [or cursed] with a tight lip to his emotions or at least, an inability to express them well. In spite of this, he seems pretty at peace with himself sans for his restless nights.

Other Notes
→ Xanthus is a coffin maker and a gravedigger, involving himself with the dead for a large portion of his life. Not a trade handed down from his family but he finds a certain calling to it due to his powers.
→ Macabre interests generally centering around the dead or interests in the dead. Half played to a humorous effect ( with his own strange brand of humor) but half rooted in more serious grounds related to his abilities. Generally has a large sense of empathetic feeling towards the dead.
→ This is largely in part due to his powers centering around being able to experience past memories of the deceased. Though it is not always of his own volition but he has become accustomed to it.
→ Doesn't believe too much in his powers with the dead in the sense that it makes him better. Rather he sees it as a way to give the souls some kind of peace by having someone to share their stories with - even if he generally keeps his silence.
→ Lethargic by nature due to his sleep schedules being incredibly off. However, he tries not to use it as an excuse to be lazy - attempting to work even in despite of fatigue quite often. Though he knows his limits most of the time.
→ Detail oriented - specifically likes intricate patterns or designs. A lot of his coffins reflect this, usually having unique carved patterns in each or an overall detailed aesthetic.
→ Eyes most definitely are linked to his powers in that they glow and flicker when he is using them or when the magic may or may not use itself in an absentminded gesture. [Occasionally it will do this but secondary powers are still unknown.]
→ During Gregory's plot it is presumed that his call to action is likely going to involve seeing a certain link between several new arrivals to the graveyard. Being the type of man he is, he takes it upon himself to try and close the missing links as well as to try and help the dead. [Avenge may or may not be too strong of a word.]
→ Close friends with Annett; especially as she is his only confidant that he trusts with the knowledge that he knows about many of the lives in the graveyard he's seen.
