Story
Early Life
Xain is a Sim-Seru created by Prince Cort and his henchmen. However, how it came to possess the centaur/minotaur hybrid for use as a host body is completely unknown. Xain was assigned to work directly under the leadership of Dohati.
Legend of Legaia
- "This is my curse on you! My anger! The energy of revenge! The absolute power of darkness!"
- —Xain to the Ra-Seru heroes
Xain is first introduced as the boss of the Fire Path, underneath the underground city of Octam. Before running into Xain, the heroes are made aware that the caverns under Octam are periodically terrorized with terrible earthquakes. The Ra-Seru heroes witness the earthquakes caused by Xain, but do not know that Xain is causing them. The prophet Hari reveals that the earthquakes are caused by a henchman of the Mist who is punching the stone pillars holding up the town itself. After the Ra-Seru heroes leave the Palace of Meditation where Hari rests, Xain kills Hari and his attendants by destroying the pillar holding up the meditation room he sleeps in.
Xain is met within an underground volcano of the Fire Path while he is in the process of punching the central pillar holding the town above in order to kill everyone who had fled the Mist. Xain initially does not pay any mind to the heroes, telling them not to interrupt him as he is doing something important ordered by Dohati. He is finally bothered enough to stop and listen to the heroes, who he fights after noticing the Ra-Seru on their arms.
After Xain is defeated, it is revealed that his body is only a host body and that Xain is actually a Sim-Seru attached to a host's head. Without a host, the real Xain, a floating Sim-Seru, dies quickly. Before death, however, Xain aims to inconvenience the heroes one last time, as he enters the lava and quickly freezes the entire volcanic underground. As it turns out that the lava flowing through the Fire Path also powers the windmills in Vidna, the lave freezing causes the windmills to shut off, allowing the Mist and Seru to enter the town.
Power and Abilities
Xain does not possess any elemental magic abilities, but he makes up for it with immeasurable physical strength. Merely using his fists, Xain is able to destroy enormous underground pillars that hold up entire towns. Xain also has the ability to unleash a burst of destructive energy from his fist that allows him to attack multiple opponents should he be outnumbered, though he must charge up his strength before using this ability.
Being a Sim-Seru, Xain is able to levitate and communicate with other entities of Seru origin. Using his lifeforce after his defeat, he displays the power to turn molten lava into solid ice.

Trivia

- Xain is often considered by many players as one of the hardest bosses in the game, due his high damage output and resistance. Unprepared players usually face many hardships against him.
