Origin and identity is unknown. Various rumors exist as to who or what Xan is. The most popular rumor being that he is the man who heads up Liandri Corporation and has poured his vast wealth into building the most advanced battle suit ever, solely for maintaining champion status in the Tournament.

Former Tournament champion Xan Kriegor is an almost mythical figure. His return from several years of isolation has been greeted with great trepidation by other Tournament competitors.

Xan Kriegor was long regarded as invincible, until Malcolm defeated him in the fourth officially recognized Tournament finals. After a long hiatus, he has returned to lead the Liandri team, The Corrupt, back to the championship. Xan is sitting out the early rounds, which he perceives as beneath his attention.

Xan is a Cybernetic being who has won multiple Liandri Tournaments. Xan led the LBX-7683 Robot Uprising in which several robots turned against the humans on the asteroid, prompting Liandri to send in a tactical squad to quell the rebellion. Xan was captured and resisted several memory wipes but was eventually reprogrammed.

Afterwards, Liandri began using Xan as the leader of The Corrupt, their team in the Tournament they sponsored. Xan won at least two Tournaments during this time. Many people believed at this time that Xan was in fact power armor worn by Jerl Liandri, the founder of the Liandri Corporation, presumably due to the lack of general knowledge of the LBX-7683 incident.

Xan was beaten by Malcolm. Liandri recalled Xan and apparently re-entered him as Xan Mark II, which apparently had little success. Xan was again recalled.

Xan's next appearance, as Xan Mark 3, came nearly a decade later. He was one of the possible opponents in the final round of the UT2004 ladder.

Epic indicated early on that Xan and his team would return in UT3, but as of yet he nor any other robots have been seen.

Xan in other media

• Rukifellth's UT-Comic: Xan appears in an online Manga comic created by someone called Rukifellth, in this comic, he is indeed a human (altough not Jerl Liandri), but rather one of the earlier UT combatants that nearly died (for real) after a serius final duel, in which the opponent broke his "respawner" and tried to assassinate him. Xan had earlier fallen in love with a Gen'Mo'Kai, and they had even gotten married and had a daughter, altough sometime after that years tournament (The first he won.) Xan got his mind put inside a robotic body (The one used by the robot rebel leader on LBX-7683) as reborn as the games Xan Kriegor. This is never really explained in the comic, but rather from Rukifellth himself, who told people his ideas, the "human at first" Xan was merely used to keep it rational with having his daughter "Aresa" in the comic. But none or less, he is still important and actually gives proof of an honest competitor who fights for the enjoyment and sports, rather than fame and glory, and actually got many friends (such as a scientist of Liandri and others...). It is rumored that he will appear in Part4 of the comic, but it has'nt been confirmed nor denied...
