== Xalf D'Shadowfast LE Male Valenar Elf, Warblade 13==

Xalf is the most advanced student at the Saint Marie's Academy and certainly able to rank himself up with the best fighters in the Watchmen. Unfortunately, Xalf is a study in under-realized potential and half-realized dreams. Xalf is, disturbingly enough, a Cassius Du'Shadowfast wannabe. The illegitimate child of two Valenar from feuding clans, he never actually found out his ancestry and became a virtual pariah in his homeland. To that end, he has actually done something tremendously bizarre by Valenar standards and attempted to carve his own legend. Except, he did so by more or less imitating Cassius, the already legendary fighter.

Styling himself The Blue Hurricane as Cassius is the Red Comet, Xalf dresses in the same Heavy Coat and even styles his hair the same way. Xalf's apes the Warrior Prince's fighting style of Karrnath fencing, Silver Chalice dueling, and Dhakaani samurai battle stances. Xalf is actually very good but his military career is mostly a series of moderate successes that never really amounted to the mythological status he craved.  Xalf figured by joining the Watchmen, he can actually gain some of his idol's great status for himself. Cassius is so far unaware that he's got an imitator but almost everyone at the Academy realizes it. Xalf is, disturbingly, one of Amethyst's boyfriends. 

After Cassius' death and realizing he'd achieved little reknown for himself, Genai offered to train him as a student.  He's become the Sin of '''Envy'''
