Xan wistfully speaks of his home in the elven stronghold of Evereska, and his role as a Greycloak. It was apparently decreed that he was to investigate the events of the iron shortage, determine who or what were the causes, and ascertain whether there was a greater threat to the region as a whole. This was definitely not a small task, and he accepted the responsibility with a great deal of dread. You get the feeling, however, that he approaches everything with a great deal of dread. He has devoted his life to improving his mastery of magic and has become a skilled wizard, though this dedication has left him little time to make friends or acquire any other pastimes. He strikes you as very capable, though probably not the best influence on morale.
Xan is an enchanter of the Greycloak clan of elves from Evereska, who has been sent to investigate the political turmoil of the Sword Coast when he is captured by the Iron Throne. He is held prisoner in the Nashkel mines, which is one of the early key locations of the game. When the player's character encounters him, he is unarmed and severely injured, and if he is allowed to journey along with the player character, he will reveal himself as a pessimistic travel mate, with negative comments on failure and mild surprise at success. He is a very depressed elven enchanter, who wields the powerful mêlée weapon Moonblade, a family heirloom that he alone can wield. In order to put the blade to use, he needs to be close to his enemies, but as his constitution is extremely low, rendering him very weak to physical harm, he must use a good deal of his magical spells to protect himself from damage before battle. Several of the most memorable quotes of the Baldur's Gate games derive from Xan's pessimistic outlook, such as: "Life is so hollow," "Our quest is vain," "We're all doomed," and "Let us save our effort and just lie down and die!".
In Baldur's Gate he was a pessimistic elven wizard from Evereska who the Bhaalspawn finds in the Nashkel mines after he'd been captured by Mulahey's kobolds. Xan had his own flaming Moonblade and belonged to an organization called the Greycloaks. In the game Icewind Dale it is discovered that he also has a brother named Erevain who died while adventuring.
Xan also appears in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, but only in the tutorial.
