Xen is a proud member of a rather specific deathclaw species, a result of science and chance and a lot of experimenting that created a strain of deathclaws capable of self awareness and some level of intelligence. Still far from that of an average human being mind you but still a break through that seemed impossible at times past.

He was born into a big family, a pack of several dozen deathclaws that had taken shelter in an abandoned, underground vault. He learned much and more from his pack mates and the various machines still operational within the vault, his curiosity knew no bounds as a hatchling especially when it came to the surface world. It wasn't until a rather difficult choice presented itself to him that he was separated from his pack for he was not always green and glowing, an accident resulted in him being burried far beneath the earth in a cave rich with uranium.

How much time passed since Xen emerged and gazed upon the surface again wasn't known but when he did, he was changed both inside and out, becoming much closer to his feral cousins then he has ever been before due to his isolation and this didn't change until he had contact with other surface dwellers not of his species through rather inconvenient means and by that I mean he was captured by raiders and brought to their camp. He was wild at first but with little to do in his restrained state, he observed the others, their actions and interactions for hours on end and eventually, parts of him started to resurface again and he regained what he had once lost.

It wasn't long until someone took notice that what they thought was a mindless predator was something more, in fact, it was in this forsaken place that Xen found his very first friend and how he regained his freedom with their help. Alas, his once boundless curiosity was taking over once more and with no ties to keep him and no alpha to tell him what to do, he set out to learn more of the world just like he had always wanted.

That settles it for Xen!
