Though the bulk of the Erus Ascendancy's is composed of mass-produced battle droids, the Ascendancy does field tactical groups of elite soldiers. To counter the new, potential threats (such as the Dragoons and Weapons created by the humans), the Ascendancy has developed their own augmented operatives. Featuring engineered physiology and advanced capabilities, these operatives are also well-trained and capable of acting collectively or alone. Xeres is one of these augmented operatives, demonstrating the augmented physiology and special abilities intended to counter threats to the Ascendancy.
Xeres only answers to her singular name. She is, tragically, the only survivor of her entire house and has adopted its name as her personal (and only) identity. Most of her family was lost during the short-lived, but devastating, Erusian civil war. Her father is notable as one of the lead designers of the Ascendancy's (now obsolete) Alliance-class battleship, the prototype of which served as Arhn Arhnya's flagship during the conflict.
While she has training in several weapons, Xeres prefers unarmed combat. Her graceful movements are almost beautiful as punches, kicks, and acrobatics blend into a deadly dance. Her psionic abilities were originally developed to function as a form of telekinetic 'artillery', though she has begun to adapt these abilities to her fighting style. Despite the seeming over-specialization of her psionics, she is still able to communicate telepathically, albeit with a more limited range than usual for an Erusian.
