PERSONALITY:
Xanxus moral compass points heavily south. He is a cruel man, without mercy. He doesn't seem to care who he hurts. Enemies and allies alike have suffered under his heavy handed actions. When he was younger, he wouldn't even show sadness when those under him died. They were tools to him. To him, the ends always justified the means and if that meant stepping over the bodies of the fallen, then so be it. Even the bonds of family was something that meant little to Xanxus. His rage over his feelings of betrayal by his adopted father led him to try and take over the Vongola family. Later, he puts the man he considered his father into Gola Mosca knowing it would kill him. Friends don't fair much better. He has been known to physically harm his underlings with his favorite target usually being Squalo. (It's stated in the Fanbook that one of his hobbies is torchering Squalo). He actually laughs when he thinks Squalo is dead during the Ring Battles, pleased he's washed away another piece of his past. In the future, he breaks a hearing device calling Levi's suffering and demands for him to respond to it "fucking noise".

He is a terribly proud and confident man. He is well aware of his own strength and power and he often looks down on others for being weaker. He considers most people "Scum" or "Trash" and refers to them as such. This has actually been to his disadvantage when he underestimates the likes of Tsuna. His is beaten handily, but this defeat hasn't stopped him from still being utterly secure in his powers and abilities. In fact, during the Future Arc, Xanxus fights an entire battle seated with his feet up, showing how confident he is in himself and how little he thinks of his opponents. He even yawns and appears bored by it.

Xanxus is also very short tempered. He is quick to anger, set off even the smallest of mistakes. He is depicted throwing things and hitting his underlings. He wears his anger like armor using it to keep himself apart from people. It has also been shown that the more angry he gets, the more powerful he seems to grow (his scars also appear the more his rage builds) as a physical example of it.

Ten years later, he has not really grown up much. Ten years might have seen him mature physically and grow in his skills and power, but mentally he's still the same volatile person that got sealed into ice so long ago. His temper is still utterly horrific. Before a major decisive battle, Xanxus personally beats up three of his subordinates because he wanted a certain kind of meat prepared a certain way and they didn't do it, effectively taking out three people who could have helped in the battle. Not even the higher ranking in the Varia are safe from him. He still bullies the likes of Squalo and Levi if given half a chance. That being said, but he does tend to care about them a little more than he has in the past. But only a little. He understands their use as more than just tools and he relies on them in the Future Arc to be able to do what is needed to insure they continue to fight against the Millefiore. Before he didn't worry about them because they were expendable. Now, he doesn't worry about them now because he is confident in their own power. They can handle themselves, leaving him to take care of what he needs to do without needing to babysit. This is very evident by the fact that much of the time, his leadership style is just sitting around and letting the Varia do what they want, making orders and demands only when necessary.

His bitterness at being passed over as the 10th head of the family still lingers. This is something he'll probably never get over and it is the number one quickest way to goad him into a fight. Mentioning his defeat, even ten years later, and the fact that he wasn't chosen is a festering wound that will never fully heal. Just mentioning Tsuna's name will push him to act far more violently far quicker than he normally would. He still doesn't approve of Tsuna being the boss, even flying a flag that states that he does not acknowledge the current leader. That being said, he is to be able to get over himself long enough to help the Vongola Famiglia in their time of need. Even when he is offered the position of Vongola Boss under the Millefiore, he refuses, saying he only wants Vongola at it's strongest and that he's rather puke than work for scumbags like Byakuran and the Millefiore. He admits that regardless of his personal feelings and internal strife, when the Vongola is attacked, they are all as one (meaning they will work together for a common goal). Later, he personally joins Tsuna in a battle against Byakuran showing that he indeed can put aside his personal grievances long enough to work together though he is still highly insulted that Byakuran thinks Tsuna has made him submit to Tsuna's leadership. Almost immediately after that battle, he is back to actively disrespecting Tsuna.

ABILITIES:
He's a very strong physical fighter. He can take and trade blows with the best of them. He is arguably one of the stronger characters in his canon, able to fight the likes of Hibari to a stand still. He's also proficient with weapons, especially firearms.

Flames of Wrath: Xanxus' flames are much like Tsuna's Dying Will Flames, only Xanxus' flames are fueled by his rage. The more angry he gets, the more powerful his flames become. He's come up with many variations of the use of these flames, but mostly uses them in conjunction with his X Guns.

Ligre di Tempesta di Ciel: Also called Bester, is Xanxus's animal type box weapon. Bester is actually a mixed breed between a Sky Lion and Tigre Tempesta. Its attack is a roar, which uses the Sky attribute of harmony to petrify, and then the Storm attribute of degeneration to cause the petrified object to crumble.

Later on, Bester is able to fuse with his X-Guns, making them far more powerful

SINS & VIRTUES:
It is said that the Varia all have a Deadly sin they represent. Xanxus represents wrath. He has a powerful, destructive anger. He lashes out at friends and enemies alike and the angrier he is, the more powerful he seems to become.

Along with wrath though, Xanxus also has a great deal of pride. He is very proud of himself and his power. He belittles everyone weaker than himself and believes that he should be the 10th leader of the Vongola family, regardless of the actual decision. He resents that enough that he refuses to go to the Inheritance Ceremony because Tsuna will be there.
