History: (Minimal 1 paragraph)
In Season One, Xander meets Buffy Summers on her first day at Sunnydale High. He overhears her bizarre conversation with Rupert Giles in the school library and loses his male best friend Jesse McNally to vampires in "The Harvest." Xander takes the stand that "vampires are bad," and is forced to reluctantly stake his former friend. Following Jesse's death, Xander becomes a wisecracking sidekick of the Scooby Gang, often annoying those around him, including Angel (cf. "Enemies") and the more uptight Giles. Xander soon develops a crush on Buffy, but it is not reciprocated. However, in the Season One finale, "Prophecy Girl," he saves her life by administering CPR after she is drowned by the Master (cf. "Prophecy Girl").
The last time Xander is referenced on television (in the Angel episode "Damage"), he is in Africa, rounding up Potential Slayers for Buffy. He later featured in the story "Antique" in the Tales of the Vampires comic book line, having spent some time under the thrall of Dracula again, as his manservant. He is summarily rescued by Buffy and two newly-activated Slayers.
In the Season Eight comic book series, Xander leads Slayer "central command" in Scotland. Buffy describes him as her "Watcher" which he disputes. He remains in contact with Andrew and Giles, and maintains a close relationship with Buffy and Dawn. He is the leader of all slayer cells with many resources available to him.

As Xander is the leader of all the various Slayer cells, he has access to a series of cameras watching his Slayers, operatives working at computers, and several psychics and neophyte witches at his command.Knowledge of military training, tactics, and weapons handling. Xander leads command-central helping Buffy, which is situated at a citadel in Scotland. At their disposal are a wide array of psychics, seers, witches, and Slayers, along with a vast amount of technology. There are 1800 Slayers world-wide according to Buffy, almost 500 of whom are working with the Scoobies, separated into ten squads, with Andrew in charge of several in Southern Italy, and Giles in charge of a contingent of Slayers in England. For Buffy's protection and because her name is feared worldwide, two decoys are put in place: one partying in Rome and one on a mission in demonic underground caverns.
Role playing example post: It had been a entire year since Josh had run track. He felt defeated 2 years ago after going from being the fastest kid in school and having all the records for short distance races to failing to win states and losing a possible schalorship in only 9th grade. 10th grade came and the summer before it started Josh fell into a depression becuase of this and took the year off.
It is now the end of his JR year in school and he has worked harder than olympic champions to try to make up over a years worth of training in only 3 months. His final race is about to come up, The 100 meter dash at states, At one time this was Josh's best event but he was having a hard time becuase his lack of confidence.
He finished stretching and stepped up to the line and set his block. He looked at the other players who seemed ensured they were going to win. Joshes heart was beating 100 miles per hour and hard agianst his chest, the race had not begun and he was already sweating and he began to get nervous as he lowered himself in position waiting for the official to start them.
All Josh could think about was all the mistakes he made and all the hard work and pain he had suffered and pushed through to make it to this point and what his coach had told him which Josh used as fuel and a reason to continue on "Pain is only temperary, but victory or loss will stay with you forever". Josh flexed his giant calves and tightened his stomach and pushed the negativity out of his body.
The official raised the gun in his hand and shout "On you marks". Josh was steady and motionless and kept whispering "You can do this, this is your race, you did not surrender to the pain so you cannot be defeated." The official continued "Get set". Josh raised himself on his blockes and waited for that gun to fire.
It seemed like hours and no gun shot, The tension was building in Josh and it was bad, he did not want to false start, His heart was almost pounding out of his chest, and it was about to him Josh could feel it and the official fired the gun and a loud crack filled the air. Josh took off running as fast as his body and mind allowed him to and then a little faster than that. He fixed his eyes on the finish line, He was closing in and he could not feel the presence of anyone around him, He was in first, He knew he was and he finished with a smile on his face.
He turned around and saw that the other runners had not ran the race. Josh had a puzzled look on his face. He turned to a official and asked what happened and the official told him the kid all the way on the other side of Josh had false started. Josh was so wrapped up in his worries and determination and thoughts he had missed the second gun shot with signified the false start. Disappointed and now tired Josh began his now what would seem long and shameful walk back to the start line.
