Xihuitl is a scout of the Chi'nzen hive. Recent aggression and secretive expansion of the southern Shaxa hive has concerned the Chi'nzen, and he is among the scouts sent beyond the mountains to investigate the cause.

Typical of the desert Chi'Xilixi, Xihuitl's exoskeleton blends with the sands of his home. Hundreds of tiny spines cover his body and his eyes gleam like a sunrise. He wears little clothing save for a few bits of leather armor and straps to hold weapons and tools. He carries a spear and a small collection of throwing stars. A smooth flat stone is secured at his throat by a tight leather choker.

Chi'Xilixi scouts are quick, quiet, and observant. Xihuitl can move through most environments without making much noise and possesses good eyesight for his kind (comparable to human sight). He has an excellent sense of direction and a very good memory, crucial for regularly reporting back to his hive.

He is nimble and agile with a spear and accurate with throwing stars, though he fights mainly to protect himself from predators.

Xihuitl is naturally curious. His life's work is to gather information from outlying territories, and doing so has brought him into contact with outsiders more often than the average insectoid. His first instinct when faced with a new situation is not to attack, but to watch.

Like all of his thousands of siblings, Xihuitl possesses an unbreakable loyalty to his queen and hive. Peace with the Shaxa has always been tenuous, and now it threatens to break once more. He will do what he must to ensure the Chi'nzen's survival.
