Xeres has been hailed as one of the greatest rulers ever to sit on the throne of the Lanarian Empire.  After his father died in the first year of the Great Civil War, Xeres took the crown.  After the war he did an admirable job of rebuilding the Empire, holding it together through violent civil uprisings and economic crises.

Xeres and his wife, Vizada, shared a great love that produced three children: Vazali, Kazaneta and Xeebec.

Sadly, Xeres was never a healthy man, suffering from respiratory problems throughout his life.  This condition led to his tragically sudden death, cutting short a remarkable life.

Xeres and his only son, Xeebec, were estranged for the last years of his life, as Xeebec refused to forgive his father for naming Vazali as his successor.  He and Vazali were especially close, however.
