'''Xavier''' was a [[Chaplain]] in the [[Salamanders]] [[Chapter]] of [[Space Marines]] and is a special character in Warhammer 40,000. He who is now deceased.

A proud upholder of the Salamander's Promethean Cult, Xavier is said to have epitomised the Chapter's ideals more completely than any other Marine in their history. Dedicated to encouraging his fellows in feats of endurance and fortitude, it is said that when Xavier led them, the Salamanders never fell back before an enemy. He is also famed for having slain a particularly ancient and monstrous [[salamander]] with his bare hands.

Chaplain Xavier was killed leading an attack on a [[Dark Eldar]] raiding force on the planet [[Drykeena]]. Mortally wounded by blades several times over, Xavier refused to fall and fought on until all his foes were lying dead around him. Only then did he allow himself to sink to the ground, where his wounds finally overcame him. His body was laid to rest on [[Nocturne]] and his name is still spoken with reverence by the Salamanders.
