Xanthus

Xanthus 3.0 is the Captain of the Unaffiliated Salvage Vessel Construct0. He has previously operated as the Technomancer of the Alien Space Vessel Necro Construct. He is portrayed by Milan Thompson.

Background
Xanthus 3.0 human born on Earth in Lakewood, Colorado, USA. He is an galaxy-renowned Technomancer, and is the Captain of the USV Construct0. He built the Construct0 after the decomissioning of the ASV Necro Construct where he had served as the ship's Technomancer.

Construct0
When the ASV Necro Construct was critically damaged and had to be decommissioned and disassembled, Xanthus maintained the majority of the ship's hull and computer systems. Xanthus was able to replace or rebuild all missing systems, but had to replace enough of the ship that it had to be registered as a Salvage Vessel. He dubbed the new ship Construct0 after discovering a prototype Necro Bot wired directly into the ship's controls deep within its core.

Xanthus ran the ship alone until he encountered and recruited Kat Astophe from a remote space station. The two perform various jobs throughout the galaxy and make a good living.

Necro Construct
While attempting to help Rivet locate and observe a local sasquatch population in the Rocky Mountains, Rivet and Xanthus stumbled across the location of a battle that had taken place between some ancient machines and a large group of cultists serving Lythalia. While the cultists were killed, so were the Ancient Ones who were leading the machines into battle. Absent any leadership, the machines went dormant until their discovery by Xanthus and Rivet. They promised that if they were to assemble a crew and participate in the Ancient Ones' crusade against the Great Old Ones they would be granted ownership of their ship and control over its remaining assigned machines. Xanthus agreed that it was necessary to keep the Great Old Ones in check, and served as the Technomancer, where he made many improvements and adapted many pieces of Ancient One technology to work for humans.

After many missions and battles, the ship's power core was breached in a battle with a spacefaring cult whose patron entity possessed some sort of phasing technology which allowed them to completely bypass the ship's outer armor and strike the interior. Xanthus was able to prevent the ship from immediately exploding, but the fix was understood to be only temporary, giving the crew time to carry out one final mission before having to decomission and disassemble the ship. Each crewmember kept a part of the ship, with Xanthus taking the ship's hull and computer systems, and using them along with other salvaged parts to build the USV Construct0.
