Xerxes is in one word an oddity. He has a false sense of reality and lives in his own imaginary world. Because of this it's hard for him to articulate the most common of knowledge; he tries to convince others that his way of thinking is the only rational way to understanding life, even if it's completely wrong. It can be hard for Xerxes to connect with others, as clueless as he may be about it himself because of his odd way of thinking, but he believes everyone's intentions are always that of the best caliber no matter how obvious they may be otherwise. He loves games and riddles and talks to ghosts in his spare time. .
