Xanathar (Zushaxx)

Zushaxx was the Xanathar as of 1492 DR.

History
Zushaxx was apparently the fourteenth Xanathar, as the corpses of thirteen previous Xanathars remained in the lair he resided in.

Sometime in 1479 DR, Zushaxx, a young and ambitious beholder, took over as the Xanathar from Izulktur, the previous Xanathar, who was born of the same beholder cluster. With the support of the drow servant Kal'dir, Zushaxx quickly established himself as the new Xanathar.

In 1491 DR, the Xanathar, in cahoots with with the mind flayer Suthool and the agent of Asmodeus Belvarra Bowmantle, supported the plots of the Masked Lord Braethan Cazondur in order to distract the City Watch and the Open Lords from his operation in Skullport and to gain power in order to expel the Zhentarim from Waterdeep.

Possessions
Xanathar wore a ring of invisibility, a ring of mind shielding, and a ring of resistance on its eyestalks.
