Bio:

Formerly wild, Xiphos and his Pawniard followers were an invasive group that clashed with the native Cacturne for food. Tanami and Rowan both had low opinions on him due to this, and cared very little when a serious injury left him with a rather nasty rust infection. Seriously weakened by this, he'd break into a contest hall, delirious and desperate for food, and wound up captured by a trainer.

Incapable of taking care of a seriously injured Pokemon, his time as a trainer's Pokemon was incredibly short lived as he was sent to a rehabilitation facility shortly after. Due to his injuries, he was deemed non-releasable, and will spend the rest of his days at the facility. 

Bella is his caretaker.

Funfacts:

• He's not suffering from lingering rust, he's just tarnished from both age and refusal to accept any help to clean himself.
• He is Thorn's father, and therefore Scar's paternal grandfather. None of them are aware of this relation.
• Very, very loosely based on the first Bisharp I ever caught in Pokemon White, named Blade, back in 2011. Currently jumping between Galar & Paldea.
