Consul X

Consul X is an antagonist in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. She is a member of the Consuls and the creator of Colony ranks.

Appearance and personality
X wears the same red armor as all Consuls do. X's helmet is X-shaped, with a butterfly motif on the front of it. Underneath the helmet, X has white fringe-styled hair, red eyes and a purple scar, similar to Z. She also has a butterfly-shaped purple decoration on the left side of her hair. In her Moebius form, X takes the form of a demonic slender humanoid with long white hair and a halo-like decoration above her head. She has chain-like decorations throughout her body. In both of her forms, X wields a large scythe in battle. She also uses a staff that is capable of blocking an individual's ability to call their s, as well as their Interlinking abilities.

X is the most smug and playful of the pure Moebius trio, but she is also prone to anger. For example, when her staff fails to seal the party's ability to call their Blades and Interlinking abilities, and having witnessed Noah pulling the Sword of Origin out of his Ouroboros form, she uses Agnus Castle's Annihilator in an attempt to destroy the City in a fit of rage. Despite this, she remains loyal to Z. X is also manipulative, convincing Shania to turn on the party and the Lost Numbers, especially after she transformed her into a Consul after her suicide.

Main Story
X is first seen watching the party's progression at the Amphitheater on the screen with N, Y and Z, complaining about working. X later calls O and P during a meeting between her fellow Consuls much to the duo's delight.

X thwarts Lanz and Sena's attempt to sacrifice themselves to kill N at Agnus Castle Barbican with her Interlinking severing staff, before she relays new orders from Z to N. X later participates in Mio's Homecoming alongside Shania, N, M, and the Queen of Agnus at Agnus Castle, and to everyone's surprise, that M was Mio all along and that M took her place. When Noah and Mio Interlinks, she is shocked that her staff isn't working before Mio destroys it, allowing the rest of the party to Interlink. X then demands N to destroy the party so they are not reborn. After N is defeated as a result of Noah pulling out the Sword of Origin, X decides to take control of the fake Queen and set it loose on the party in which they also defeat, shocked on how Noah as able to defeat the false Queen with Sword of Origin in one strike and how he obtained it. However, X has one last trick of her sleeve: she unveils Agnus Castle's Annihilator, showing the party's that she's destroying the City. As the Annihilator fires, X calls out Z's name as she and N are teleported back to the Amphitheater.

After her scuffle with the party, an angry X returns to the Amphitheater with Z and Y, complaining about the Sword of Origin which Z acknowledges. X then decides to handle the party before being stopped by Y saying that he's going to confront the party. X later confronts the party at within Origin, transforming into her Moebius form in an effort to stop the party from reaching Z, but is defeated. After her defeat, X begs to Z that she doesn't want to die before fading into blue motes.

She then tells the party once a Colony becomes Gold, Moebius harvests the lives from it, angering Eunie. She then puts her helmet back on as she and L engages the party. While the party manages to kill L, X manages to escape.
