"Prepare your spirits!"

―Xydarone IV's infamous catchphrase

Xydarone IV is the Prime Red Star, which is the leader of the League of Red Stars, and an assassin and bounty hunter who frequently travels the Eight Worlds and serves the Magistrate out of her fascination with the International Alliance and Natalia Thornton out of her hatred for I.D.E.A.L.. Out of all the bounty hunters in the star system, she was the best and most expensive of her time. She was a mercenary and had no allegiance to any civilization, only to the highest bidder for her services.

In the aftermath of the Second Battle of Tower Placement, Xydarone transported Helen McKeen from Utah to the Royal Palace of the Magistrate in Idaho. Remaining there for want of bringing the Magistrate a living Jovian Nightlance, she attempted to rescue by the Armies of Organa, only to for her to be defeated and slain by the very woman she was trying to get recaptured. After her death, Torin X was named as her successor as the Prime Red Star.

Roles

Xydarone IV is mentioned in Red Cavalier and appears as a supporting antagonist in Boys vs. Girls 2. She is also a major character in Before The SMSB: What is a Bloodbath? and the posthumous overarching protagonist in League of Red Stars.

Biography

Early life

Responsible childhood

Originating from Jupiter, Xydarone was born to Tara and Xydarone III in 2001. She loved her parents dearly and was surprisingly responsible for someone her age. In addition, she longed to be a mercenary someday.

In kindergarten, she accidentally hit a male student with a pencil so hard that his nose bled. Xydarone felt terrible, and apologized several times. As her education continued, her skills proved to be legendary, especially for a nine-year-old. She proved this in fourth grade after a bully insulted her, saying her name was weird and that she was fat. Xydarone calmly retaliated that the bully was fatter than she was, and he was jealous that he had a simpler name fit for a simpler mind. Furious, the bully attacked her, and she quickly fought back and beat him up. This prompted the bully's posse to run away. This event gained Xydarone a lot of respect, and the bully and his lackeys never messed with her again.

Her parents' relationship did not work out, and they ultimately divorced, leading to Tara abandoning her.

Training

Finally, Xydarone was discovered and a famous trainer named Jacob Tholme offered to train her and raise her as his own. Xydarone agreed, as did her parents. After saying goodbye to them, Xydarone left with Tholme. Xydarone trained with a select group of promising students for the following six years. Xydarone was known to get along with Ipall Mercedes. During her time with the Class Six Brigade, she was able to shoot down all of the targets with one shot each, while the other members couldn’t even hit the targets.

Mission to the Devil Mega

After her training was complete, Xydarone captured the legendary Arachnid Man, and as a result she soon became famous for her work. (However, Arachnid Man later escaped his so-called cell.) Despite having a high-tech arsenal at her disposal, she was not dependent on it. In her second mission, Xydarone realized that the Devil Mega had a computer that possessed electronic detecting equipment. As a result, she had to capture the target at hand equipped only with a bow, some arrows, and a crystal knife. Sneaking aboard the compound, she successfully captured the target. From there, everybody around the star system wanted her help, and her assignments soon went from helping average citizens to even being hired by governors and royalty.

Boss of the Red Stars

Collecting bounties

After graduation, her master told her that she was required to spend at least one hour per day training and practicing. To complete her missions, Xydarone would often lay aside grudges. It is unknown whom she did it with, but she eventually sired a daughter who she named after her, Xydarone V. Ultimately, the Magistrate accepted the services of Xydarone, working as one of her go-to mercenaries. The prestigious bounty hunter eventually went on to become the Prime Red Star, which is the leader of the League of Red Stars. She used a drone to communicate with her criminal allies.

Duel in the Fortress

In 2022, NoHead Enforcer Xalvatrix hired Xydarone to capture Mr. Odious NoHead and, more importantly, the box he would be found carrying. Upon learning what the box contained — directly violating Xalvatrix’s instructions — Xydarone contemplated keeping it for herself. Unbeknownst to Xydarone, Xalvatrix had a group of robot soldiers. She eventually discovered them, killing all of them in a confrontation. Xydarone tracked Odious all the way to New York City, where he was hiding among the City Volcano, and moved to kill him. Odious Teleported away and to safety, though Xydarone realized that he had left the box. However, Xalvatrix had followed Xydarone to the volcano and the two engaged in battle over control of the box.

Xydarone opened fire on Xalvatrix, but upon failing to break through the mutant’s defense, she quickly found herself forced to the edge of a cliff that hung over a molten pit, apparently at Xalvatrix’s mercy. Not willing to risk damaging the casket, Xalvatrix tried to force Xydarone to relinquish it by turning her mental powers against the bounty hunter, yet Xydarone’s strength of will allowed her to resist the NoHead’s suggestions long enough to throw herself right at the enforcer, bowling her over before choking her. Before Xalvatrix could pull her off, she turned around so that she was behind her. However, Xalvatrix simply turned her hand toward her back and telekinetically hurled Xydarone from the cliff… apparently to her death. Horrified, Xalvatrix peered over the edge only to find Xydarone’s gun waiting for him. Shooting Xalvatrix square in the hand and knocking the NoHead to her back, Xydarone returned to solid ground and declared herself the victor of their conflict. Xalvatrix, hurt by the shot but not seriously injured, sardonically congratulated the bounty hunter, then promptly turned her powers against her. Stripped of her gun, forced to her knees and her arms pinned to her side through telekinesis, Xydarone looked certain to meet her end, yet she once again surprised the NoHead by kicking the box Xalvatrix desired over the cliff edge. Infuriated, Xalvatrix released her grip on Xydarone and went for the box, getting a telekinetic hold on it narrowly before it was destroyed.

With Xalvatrix’s back to her, concentration focused on retrieving the casket, Xydarone IV weighed up the benefits of taking advantage of this opening and killing the head of the Venom Circle. She quickly decided against such a course of action however, believing that, if taken, the NoHeads would trouble her to no end. She thus fled the scene of the battle, stealing Xalvatrix’s NBV vehicle, and left New York City behind her.

The Insurrection of the Cavaliers of Thornton ends

Xydarone discussed capturing Helen McKeen on several occasions and, after one such meeting in Salt Lake City, Xydarone received word that bounty hunters in her own employ had managed to capture Helen over Orem and were holding her at a remote location. By the time Xydarone arrived, however, Helen had escaped.

Eventually, the International Alliance moved to crush the Armies of Organa inside Tower Placement School, where McKeen was currently being educated at. Seeing a golden opportunity, Xydarone IV led the Magistrate's forces to the school. In advance, she informed Natalia Thornton of her destination. Xydarone was followed by Severus, who she easily destroyed by setting a deadly trap. By the time Xydarone arrived, Cera Lewis had bound Helen McKeen and gave the latter to Xydarone, who in turn, planned to hand her to Zira for a hefty bounty. Returning to Zira's assembled army, and assisted by Charlie Corner, she confidently prepared to lead them into the school, but a gigantic blast from the U.S. Government forces led by President Roxanne Waterston decimated them all. It is unknown how Xydarone escaped the blast.

However, it would be several months before Xydarone delivered Helen to Zira’s palace in Idaho, and her whereabouts during that time were unknown to Andrew and Steven Thompson, who scoured the country for leads that would lead them to the bounty hunter.

Showdown at the Temple of the Relinquished

"Doing her dream job, you mean? At least she died doing what she likes."

―Summer Petersen

Zira Miranda Grover once hired Xydarone to track down Vincent Organa and Summer Petersen. Xydarone leaped at the chance to help her. When Summer Petersen freed Helen and was to be Zira’s servant, Zira sent her to Xydarone to show her how she had turned out. Xydarone had forgiven Summer for sneaking up on her, and they argued about the Boy-Team’s wrongdoings and the Girl-Team’s actions. Xydarone swiftly curtailed the argument after getting uncharacteristically angry and fell asleep.

Xydarone remained on-guard, but found her stay entertaining, watching the Tournament of White Roses with Zira. When Vincent defeated the Arena Beasts, an outraged Zira sentenced Vincent and Helen to be cast into the gargoyle cave. On the path to the gargoyle, Xydarone was aware of the large reward for Vincent's capture. Unfortunately, Zira would not take it or even allow Xydarone to negotiate for it. They brought about the death of her monster; they would have to pay the price. Xydarone was frustrated by this but could conceive of no plan to gain the reward. Vincent staged his own rescue and Xydarone attempted to stop him along with several of Zira's formidable guards.

While she fired at Vincent, in her obsession with capturing the Kraton, she failed to notice Helen McKeen. As Petersen watched, McKeen decapitated the hunter. As her body fell against the limousine, her head bounced down to the snowy cave slope, rolling right into the waiting maw of Devorar. The side of her headless corpse was marred when Zira's limousine, the Gemotre, exploded.

Legacy

Several hours after her death, Xydarone IV's corpse was found by Torin X and her friend. She mourned in front of Xydarone's body, when suddenly a small drone came out of her dead body and entered Torin's, making Torin the Prime Red Star, and successor of Xydarone. Much later, to the final battle, Torin questioned the reason why Xydarone choose her to be her successor, with Angelina emphasizing the love that Torin felt for their code, and that there is no one better to lead them than her.

Alternate Universes

Black Multiverse

"We have told you nothing but the truth about Xydarone IV, and yet we may not have disclosed all of it." This article needs to be expanded in order to have more sufficient length or some important details. See the request on the listing. Once finished, this notice and the page's listing may be removed.

With the Eldritch Dimension unable to hold Xydarone IV, she was the only person to have survived and escaped that dimension, thus giving her the title the "Eldritch Opposer". Xydarone IV became a sadistic psychopath.

Fusion

"I saw the end of days…" This article or section is about the Fusion future. This is a potential future that may not necessarily follow the primary timeline.

"In comparison to the rugged, post-apocalyptic looks of Xydarone IV and yourself, Mota in a pristine white suit would present her as a total non-threat in the Fusion, masking what could be her true role of being the brains of the Black Queen's war room."

―Red Cavalier

Although Xydarone IV clearly survived the wrath over the Temple of the Relinquished, what role she was destined to play in the potential future where the Sol System had been ravaged by the forces of the Brotherhood has yet to be made entirely clear, but she had contact with the Red Cavalier, who knew that she was out and about and dressed in a way that idealized post-apocalyptic aesthetics.

Physical appearance

Xydarone IV, like most mercenaries, was strong, healthy, brawny and fit. At most, she was beautiful and tough. While she was incredibly strong, Xydarone's emphasis on cunning over muscle gave her a thinner build than most members of the League of Red Stars. She was garbed in a cap over black hair that was always done up, a visor that covered her eyes, a pink shirt, and blue jeans. She had indigo-colored eyes. Despite her weapon-laden clothes, Xydarone was a subtle hunter and relied as much on her cunning and intelligence as on pure muscle and combat skill. Speaking in a monotone voice, Xydarone allowed few to know her origins, giving the hunter a mysterious aura and a psychological edge over her prey.

Personality

In Xydarone IV's profession, she mixed with a variety of people from unsavory to low life as well as with regular characters. Her determination, ferocity, cleverness, resolve, and superior physical strength enabled her to get the job done in the toughest of assignments, leading her to be acclaimed for her formidability. Xydarone's relentless personality, combined with her fearsome abilities, made her a force to be reckoned with. A rarely misunderstood woman, she was very brave and confident, which emboldened her enough to occasionally converse with Emily Watson in an irreverent tone that no one besides Helen McKeen or Steven Thompson would dare take with her. Ever keeping in excellent shape, she carried out her missions with precision and didn’t leave loose ends. She was also formidable in a duel. Her hobbies were swimming, training, and watching television. However, she was also greatly intrigued by the devices of the International Alliance and genuinely believed I.D.E.A.L. was problematic, proving that loyalty to her pocket was not the only consideration.

Xydarone was very sassy and witty, much like her master, but at a much more emphasized level. Throughout the many years of her bounty hunting career, Xydarone developed a strong sense of justice, moral obligation, and adhered to her own code of honor. She took only certain bounties that agreed with her own beliefs and brutal justice. But to those few, she wholeheartedly devoted all of her magnificent skill should the occasion call for it. This led her to believe in a quick, clean kill. Her moral code however, did not prevent him from taking numerous bounties from villainous clients such as corrupted Girl-Team members or high-ranking NoHeads. She once justified this apparent contradiction to Summer Petersen by pointing out that the Boy-Team had started the School War in their behavior that aggravated their female peers and later their revenge plot forced the hands of the young and vulnerable, and that the boys brought only chaos and strife to society. As Xydarone believed that order was preferable to chaos regardless of how that order was achieved, she preferred to work for the NoHeads rather than the Police Grand Army. She understandably preferred working for clients who would be around to hire her again. Additionally, she had no patience and zero tolerance for insanity and inefficiency.

Xydarone carried out her missions with precision and didn’t leave loose ends. She was also formidable in a duel. Her hobbies were swimming, training, and watching television. She was very puritanical, and claimed she had not so much as held a man in her arms, possibly as a result of her moral code.

As a young girl, she was much more eccentric and far less rigid in her thinking.

Abilities

• Master combatant: In addition to her skills as a marksman, Xydarone was an extremely adept unarmed combatant. She was dedicated to whatever job she was doing, and would often suspend grudges if it meant completing her mission. Her combat skill, tactical ingenuity, and strength of will even allowed her to engage in personal combat with Xalvatrix at one point and survive. While Xydarone did not exactly hold her own, and Xalvatrix’s objective was not to kill her, Xydarone managed to both temporarily resist the mutant’s telepathic suggestions and surprise Xalvatrix by shooting her in the hand. Unfortunately for Xydarone however, the shot did not penetrate her opponent’s glove, and Xalvatrix simply immobilized Xydarone telekinetically when the fight began again.
  • Expert marksman: Xydarone IV was an expert marksman and had access to considerable weaponry. Despite having this high-tech arsenal, she was not dependent on it. In her second mission, Xydarone had to capture the target at hand equipped only with a bow, some arrows, and a crystal knife, due to electronic detecting equipment that had been installed. Also, during her time with the Class Six Brigade, she was able to shoot down all of the targets with one shot each, while the other members couldn’t even hit the targets.
  • Master swordsman: Xydarone IV is a highly skilled swordsman.
• Indomitable willpower

Possessions

• Arsenal: Xydarone IV carried numerous weapons, including a smoke bomb, an explosive device which, upon triggering, would release a cloud of dense smoke, blocking the target's vision. She used it whenever she needed to capture her targets alive.
• Drone: Xydarone IV used a small drone to assert her authority over the League of Red Stars. After Xydarone passed away, it was inherited by her teammate, Torin X.

Relationships

Friends

Xydarone got along very well with Ipall Mercedes, as they trained together. Both girls realized they had a lot in common. Jacob Tholme took a special light to both of them.

Trivia

• Her Black Multiverse counterpart represents her fear of what she could be like if she lost her friends and consequentially abandoned her morals.
