Before Becoming a Guardian/Backstory

Xaush-367 (Canon brother of Viper-1) was born in Russia, at an unknown date and time, presumed to be the early 2000s. He grew up in a simple life, often taking care of his little brother, now known as Viper-1. After years of watching over him, Xaush was injured from being hit by a car. To continue protecting his brother, and to get around his injuries, Xaush became an Exo, officially adopting the name Xaush-367. After a few more years, his little brother became tired of being protected, and became an Exo as well, adopting the name Viper-1. After a few years, an attack conducted by the Fallen struck Russia, leading them to evacuate into the Cosmodrome. Xaush was equipped with a weak shotgun, fending the Fallen off with a few other survivors. The Fallen eventually began overwhelming them, leading to Xaush-367, Viper-1, and a few other brave survivors to hold off the Fallen as the rest of them evacuated. They stood up against the Fallen for a good while, but sadly were slain in battle. Most who stood back and fought became guardians, including the two Exo brothers.

After Becoming a Guardian

Early days

Several years after the attack, Xaush woke up during the events of The Red War, completely being "deceased" during the events of the first game. His eyes slowed opened to see a floating mechanical being, and the light of the sun. The Ghost quickly told him that they weren't safe there, and that they needed to move quickly. While traversing though the Cosmodrome, they encountered several Fallen crawling on the walls. Xaush ran forth, and grabbed a machine gun, that he used to tear through the approaching Fallen, eventually blasting his way into an open field, with a few ruins, a giant Fallen Walker in the center, and a few other new Guardians just waking up. With his newly found Light powers, he and the other guardians easily took down the Walker, and any Fallen fighting with it. Xaush was an Arc Warlock, capable of turning the light into electricity, and easily vaporizing his enemies.
