Seemingly normal teenage boy personality.<ref name=":4"/>

Appearance

When he manifests part of Bloody Money his body changes, resembling humanoid cash pile as bloody as the namesake.

Abilities and Art

Xerxes is seemingly less powerful than his younger brother,<ref name=":1">"Lane beat Laila, then Xerxes, and then went up against Erasmus.  Lucy couldn’t really see, even with her Sight, what was going on there, so it was hard for her to tell if he’d just run out of echoes or the juice to pump them out, or if he just couldn’t touch Erasmus.  Either way, the chubby Host practitioner won." - Excerpt from Cutting Class 6.7</ref> and bad at fighting in general, but this is balanced by his capability with of interfering with finances.<ref name=":3">Xerxes and Erasmus had done okay in the duels, but looked out of their element here, in the deeper woods beyond the Blue Heron Institute.

“Can you fight?”

Xerxes shook his head.

“You mess with money?”

“Oh yeah.”

“If they’re ordering that food, you can do something?  Can you let it out?”

“For short times.” - Excerpt from Gone Ahead 7.7</ref><ref name=":5">“It’s a siege, man,” Hadley said, sitting up.  Estrella tensed, one hand going up, wand at the ready.  Hadley held both hands up in plain view. “Supply lines were cut off, delivery guy came and we could fucking smell that shitty pizza.  And he wouldn’t let us have it because he thought our money was no good.  Now they’re out there, they’re forcing us to watch-” - Excerpt from Gone Ahead 7.8</ref>

Bloody Money

Bloody Money is compared to the urban spirits used by the Leos family, except smaller.<ref name=":4">“Same deal, but I host Bloody Money.  Like the urban spirits Talos and Tymon have, but much smaller.”

“Much,” Tymon said.

Xerxes gave Tymon the finger.  His arm changed, skin ‘flipping’ like othello tiles, revealing bloodstained dollar bills.  The bills became a sleeve, and his hand became so inkstained and bloodstained no skin showed.  His fingers were longer like that. - Excerpt from Gone Ahead 7.7</ref> It's power my lie in the manipulation of Connections.

Chronology

Before the Story

Presumably come from a practitioner family, if only by dint of their horrible first names.

Summer Squabbles

When the Bristow faction made a play for the Blue Heron Institute the Wilkins didn't retreat into the woods.<ref name=":2">Everyone had gathered.  It included some of those who hadn’t come to town, like Reese, Steyn, and Mike, and Xerxes and Erasmus. - Excerpt from Gone Ahead 7.1</ref>

He hurt the Bristow students in their stomachs thanks to his abilities.<ref name=":5"/>

Xerxes was killed after the Carmine Lords took power, after his death Bloody Money occupied his body.<ref>“Can I ask what happened to Xerxes?”

“Didn’t make it out of the region when the Carmine Lordships seized power.”

“Right,” Verona said.

“I can try to put in the energy to keep the body from rotting, but it’s going to go that way eventually.  It helps that the weather is cold.” - Excerpt from Hard Pass 22.1</ref>
