Xelloss also is a personage who have significant differences between one and another one.

> Anime: everybody was present when he appears for firs time; his clothes are more discreet and overall his "Demon" like attitude isn't that obvious since he's much more calm.

>Novels: first in meeting Xelloss is Zelgadiss, so that when the Mazoku appears to the rest of the group the chimera already knew him. On the other hand their clothes are showier and their more demonic character. It changes repeated times of form (normally it adopts the form of a cone of black energy) and is much more cruel, getting to kill his opponents gutting them, devastating them, etc...

 
* Rumors*

Xelloss is one of the personages whom more rumors it has most of them due to his origin. Here they go...

a) He is brother of Zellas Metallium:  some fans maintains that Xelloss and Zellas are twin children of Lon and not that was products of their dreams. This possibility is maintained in the fact that both share the last name and in the blind obedience that Xelloss has towards its Lady, there is even one who says that Xelloss is in love of her and they both keep some incestuous relation.

b) In a time he was human and Zellas turned to him demon: other fans think that Xelloss, due  its personality so marked, was a human sometimes and  Zellas, needing somebody that served to her, turned him into mazoku, so he forgot all his past due his(its) new identity once transformed.

c) Xelloss is not another thing that a demon created by Zellas so that it served to him combining in him the characteristics as a General and a Priest so that it has more power than other Priests or Generals.

No of these possibilities has been denied by Xelloss at some point, but in fact in novels, it is the one who says that it was created by Zellas, and for that reason, he must blind obedience to Zellas, but could very well be hiding all the truth and to be something similar to that, yet Xelloss never lies.  
 

* History*


The history of Xelloss is limited to a blind obedience to its lady, Zellas Metallium and, and the rest of the Demon Lords if Zellas isn't around. It is possible that *he* was implied in the first fight between Gods and demons and in the later hierarchic readjustment between the Lords. Anyway, his role waged the First Resurrection of Eye of Ruby - the Kouma Sensou- at Lei Magnus'hands; once it started, Xelloss just fought against hundreds of black and golden dragons... annihilating all them with just a gesture of its hand. This meaned two things for him: in first place, a staunch hatred from all dragons races for him, who hate, respected and feared him. By the other side,. Zellas, or Ruby Eye itself, compensated himby his work; the present was 4 talismans than canalize the power of Demon Kings from the 4 universes allowing to increase to their power to their user, so Xelloss conserved with esteem during 1000 years.
During those 1000 years, Xelloss remained inactivates until now, when began to act again in two different versions. According with the series, he appeared to the group dressed like a Ceephied's priest (!), saying than a bunch of thieves had robbed him a copy of the Cleir Bible. According with the novels, the first time than Xelloss appeared, *he* did so after a meeting with Zelgadiss, during one of his trips, putting the chimera in a mess that would influence Zel in later events... In any case, eventually Xelloss got the Slayers gang accepted with certain reservations (except for Zel, who had enough reasons to hate the demons race even for writing to book; and also with the exception of Amelia, who accepted him willingly knew Xelloss who was) till the moment when is discovered *his* true identity.
Finally, it seems than Xelloss just obeyed successfully to his Lady in all missions.


Xelloss is one of the most charismatic personages of the series since it breaks completely with the model of evil character with plain expression, and none attractiveness. Xelloss is snide, playful, very intelligent, and a heavy joker. Could be said that that *he* looks for and finds (thanks to its intelligence) the details of the personality of the others that annoy them the most, and using them in his own benefit and to make them rage. Also is a sociable and educated character, being able to establish conversation with anyone with the particularity of being always joking, and slope to obtain tour guides of there to where *he* goes with eagerness; the only particularity that could make suspect something of him is that he never speaks about himself, or answers with average truths (he never lies), and when he cannot do it, he says his clasic "That is a secret". But that is what Xelloss pretends to be, its mask so to speak:

In fact Xelloss is an evil spirit with the form of a black cone of energy, that is forced to adopt a physical shell to be able to pronounce itself in the physical world. In fact, its younger human aspect is pure election its (him): Xelloss does not have gender, and the aspect that it has is just because *he* likes it, in fact, everything what he carries (clothes, shoes, chaff, and even the staff) is part of him: in case that its staff was broken, he himself would suffer the damage. He (it) also can be turned into what he wants, changing its clothes or something similar. All this means that if Xelloss wished to be in a bird shape or an elder, Xellos could do it, even more, in novels he adopts his real form of a black energy cone; skewer his victims. The physical aspect that it adopts is not more than to confuse and to be able to develop; it is not necessary to let itself deceive for that reason: Xelloss is capable VERY evil deeds, and the greater atrocities in order of obtaining its objectives. In a immediate level, serving to its Lady and Eye as Ruby, and later, to obtain to the total chaos and with that the negative emotions on which it is fed: for him the humans are not than broad more of conserve food ready to be open. That means that, even if many fans are happy with the idea, , Xelloss is Incapable to fall in love or to feel some short of esteem for somebody.
With such vision, it would be possible to be said that Xelloss in a being robot who only moves his servitude and his anxieties and making badly to obtain food, but cannot be denied that he has "style": as the intelligent being that he is, it can be that that particular method to obtain his objectives, is a way to show a personality that distinguishes him from other demons as individual and non only a machine to make damage... what is certain, is he obtains well enough what he wants, and nobody would think that that heavy joker is a demon and by other, he makes infuriate other people, quite enough to obtain a snack throughout his missions.
