In 2033 — approximately 23 years before the present-day main story — Xavier is embedded in Linkon City's law enforcement as a police officer on Team 013, operating in the Bloomshore District. His colleague Arthur once shows him a decades-old photograph of a silver-haired man identical to Xavier, and never asks the obvious question. Xavier's cover is shattered when he is ambushed by Isaiah, a defected Backtracker who also wields the Light Evol and a lightblade. Xavier uses his police connections to forge a new identity for Jeremiah. He then fakes his own death and reinvents himself — adding another layer to his chain of assumed identities. He uses these same connections to help Jeremiah establish a stable life in Linkon.
