Xovus has found a few friends, contacts and connections over the years he has walked around. He has few contact from before he was turned, so most his active contacts are from the seven or eight decades.
Lost & Found ∾
My best friend, and also my oldest friend! We found each other at '30 at The Culture. As two lost souls trying to find our self we have a special connection.
Background ∾
I found Losty when searching for candidates for food in bars in precinct one. He was working for Monika in bar The Culture. Later on Losty took over the bar when Monika died.
He is the main reason I got out of my depression. Losty helped me to find the fun in the chaos of life again. He also introduced me to the blood trade in The Culture that helped me to feed my self without worrying about the law.
Losty is old, probably older than Xovus. He is a Devkarin and has lost all memories of his life before 10,000 ZC. He follows the Rakdos lifestyle and has a way of life that fit well with Xovus. Losty sometimes dreams about events before year 10,000. It can trigger behavior changes. Some times he pushes him self and others to the brink of death to trigger memories.
Meshir family ∾
The Meshir family is not a big fan of Losty, they think the chaotic nature is a bad influence on Xovus. But what do they know, they probably only know a small portion of the darkness of Xovus past anyway.
Various Connections ∾
Olga is a detective and old regular hookup of Losty. They had some form of relationship in the 30 and 40s.
Losty know a group of 20 year old girls that uses The Culture to find victims for date-kill sex.
Early on one of the girls tried to pickup Xovus but Losty stopped her hinting it was probably a bad idea. It's safe to assume the exchange would have been bloody.
Introduction to the Hoods ∾
Losty is Adams Hoods (great) grandfather. The Meshir family know the noble Hoods family, but it's shallow and more business oriented. What Losty did was to properly introduce Xovus to Eveline Hood, a then young lawyer that helped him out of my legal troubles with Boros. Eveline is Adams mother.
Legal causes and fixes
For more information about Eveline see the Adams section, and for background about my legal problems see The Depression in Chapter 1.
The Culture ∾
The Culture is a Rakdos club in precinct one that Xovus uses as home base for most of his day to day business. At night he feeds on willing guests, exchanging blood for money.
When there is time he spend some quality time with Losty doing something fun, or just observing guests.
The close proximity to The Culture, and Losty, is a large part why Xovus choose to buy a old broken down apartment in the precinct.
Heartstoper
A drink at The Culture that Losty like to offer customers. It stops the heart and you die for six seconds.
Adam Hood ∾
Adam is the son of Eveline and {Adams Father} Hood that he did business for to pay back debt.
Background ∾
Xovus got to know Eveline Hood via introduction from Losty at '45. Eveline is Adams mother and she helped Xovus out of his legal troubles. Xovus was in debt to the Hoods for twenty years, slowly paying it off by doing whatever the Hoods liked me to do.
Over the years a form of respect and friendship slowly started to build up between Xovus and the Hoods. He first met their son Adam back in '65 when he was ten. Back then he was just a curious boy but has since then grown up to be a good friend to Xovus.
Connection to Losty
For more information how Adam is connected to Lostly, see Introduction to the Hoods under the section Lost & Found.
Hoods and Meshir families ∾
The branch of the Meshir family living in the tenth district has business connections with the Hoods. They invite each other to fancy dinner parties to conduct business, or perhaps to show off. The Hoods is a much more noble family and for the Meshirs it's good to stay well connected with them.
During Xovus Chaotic Years he had lost most connection with the Meshirs, but through the Hoods he once again was invited back in to the Meshir family. His connection is still a little strained but Xovus got his family back, and they got a stronger connection to the Hoods.
Legal Help ∾
With some convincing from Losty, Eveline helped Xovus with his legal problems. She quickly cleared up things. Xovus never really know how she did it, he never asked. He was free to once again move freely in almost all districts of Ravnica, except the 28th district where he committed the crime.
The debt ∾
It took Xovus 22 years to pay back the deed Eveline did for him, that's remarkable fast and Xovus suspects that Losty had something to do with it. Xovus did pay a small part of the debt back in plain zinos but most of it was payed via different "missions" and other tasks the Hoods asked him to do. With his background, there was few limits to that he was willing to do to cut a few more zinos, and days, away from his debt. At 10067 ZC Xovus was finally able to resolve the debt with the Hoods with a final contract contained two final requirements:
- Keep Adam safe from harm, protect him and be there for him when he need you.
- In the future, we will ask you for a final task, this can't be refused.
Xovus had become a good "old uncle" type of figure for Adam over the last two years when the contract was signed. Xovus did gladly protect Adam to pay of his debt to the Hoods. The second item was harder to agree to, but after 22 years, Xovus agreed to the terms to finally feel free again to gain his own wealth.
