Character Bio - Xizor was a Falleen Prince of House Sizhran and the leader of the powerful criminal organization Black Sun during the Galactic Civil War. He was a ruthless competitor and charismatic public figure in high society with his headquarters in the city planet Coruscant.

Following the Battle of Hoth, Xizor was considered one of the most influential beings in the galaxy, on a par with Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, due to his exceptional wealth and influence through his criminal activities. (wookieepedia)

MASTER OF DECEPTION
After revealing a numbered Order Marker on any Army Card you control, instead of taking a turn with that card, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card and take a turn with any other Army Card you control.

PHEROMONE CONTROL 13
Before moving, you may choose a Unique Hero figure within 2 spaces of Prince Xizor. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 13 or higher, take temporary control of the chosen Hero and immediately take a turn with that Hero. At the end of that turn, control of the chosen Hero returns to its previous owner. All Order Markers that were on the Hero's Army Card will stay on the Army Card. Pheromone Control does not affect Droids or Falleen.

ALWAYS SCHEMING
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Prince Xizor, you may rearrange any unrevealed Order Markers on Army Cards you control. When a Unique Hero you control is destroyed, you may place any unrevealed Order Markers from its card onto this card.

I've always been curious about how Xizor plays. Does anyone have any fun stories of using him or interesting army builds with him?

[Tai-Pan]

I don't like him very much. He's a melee hero in a ranged world. He also doesn't synergize very well compared to most other HoSS.

OM management powers are interesting in how they are worth more the worse the player is at OM-management with diminishing returns as a players ability rises. Playing with younger players, they get a lot out of OM dumps and powers that let you save OMs.

If the point total is high enough, you can have fun with him as a starting zone cheerleader in combination with Bib, Lobot and Guards, which are a fun combination. He can lend his pheromone power to Bin (strangely) and that lets Bib be a little more Frontline, especially with Gamorreans protecting him. 40% chance to use an enemy hero, the ability to soak up wounds with Gamorreans, respawn for Gamorreans. Not great against strong squads, but a lot of fun.
