Family
Xiola has no living family, but descends from Xavier Bleu and Octavia Bleu, both members of a nomadic tribe.

Background
Xiola was born in Eversong, just outside Fairbreeze village to the Bleu family. Xiola is unsure of where her family originated from, but she understands and that they were nomads who travelled in a large group across the eastern kingdoms for many years before splitting off from the group and settling Eversong five years before she was born. The Bleu family used and utilised materials around them in the forest and only killed animals when absolutely necessary. Xiola grew up with these rules and strict morals about caring for her environment whilst watching and learning her Father Xavier expertly craft bows and other armoury from wood that he would sell to the people of Silvermoon. Her mother Octavia taught her how to kill and cook animals from an early age, and before Xiola was five she was an expert archer.

One very cold winter Octavia Bleu was forced to kill a lynx for her family to eat, however Octavia discovered that the lynx she had killed had young herself, she took the tiny lynx cub and bought him back to the family’s camp. Xiola called the cub “Gittlemon” and the two became devoted to each other and from then on would never be seen apart.

When Xiola was thirteen her mother and father were asked to use their great archery skills during the Third War. Xiola’s parents were both killed in battle. With no money and little education Xiola was not welcomed into what was left of the high society in Silvermoon, Xiola felt abandoned and betrayed by her race. So she left Eversong travelling aimlessley only killing to eat and selling weapons and trinkets to make money whilst trying to abide by her parents code. After travelling for nearly three years Xiola settled in Tranquillien where she struck an unusual bond with the forsaken. Xiola is a tolerant person, and learned to live along side the undead with ease. However times were hard after the scourge movement, and she struggled to survive with there being little to eat, and not much requirement for the trinkets and weapons she could make. During this time Xiola met a forsaken named Spastemizer, an unsavoury character who stole and killed to keep his existence. At first Xiola resisted a friendship with Spastemizer, as she had tried all her life to abide by her parents code, to keep alive without resorting to crime. But the glamorous life Spastemizer seemed to lead, and the benefits he reaped were so much better than Xiola’s. He did not need to struggle to eat everyday; he had respect from the town that she lived in. Xiola was fed up of struggling and came to the conclusion that if these benefits were a direct result of crime, then so be it. Her parents would have wanted her to survive, some way or another. Spastemizer introduced Xiola to the crime syndicate Unspeakable Villainy, where her archery abilities were utilised and she became a bounty hunter, working on request from the syndicate leader Esmeralda Underwood.

During her time at Unspeakable Villainy, Xiola made a strong bond with a slightly retarded Orc named Boaz and an ex socialite blood elf from Silvermoon called Jebarus. After the demise of Unspeakable Villainy this threesome, fuelled by greed and an unhealthy obsession with gaspigs were approached by an unsavory character named Raffles. Raffles ran a business in Stormwind under the guise of an insurance broker named 'Raffles Industries.' Alongside him worked a deranged turban wearing human named Claudina and a talkative drunk tree named Clethllan. Raffles attitude to make as much money as he could with minimul effort often using sordid and unlawful means, appealed to Xiola. Working under the Raffles name Xiola Boaz and Jebarus bought a franchise and 'Raffles International' was created.

Criminal Record
Xiola was caught at the Winterveil festival sniffing arcane dust in the loo's however was let off with a caution by the Orc grunts.

Personal Notes
In her youth Xiola was fixated on her heritage. She still felt betrayed by her people for ostracising her after her parents gave their lives for them, but she also wished to be accepted by them. Now the power and respect she has gained from working with a crime syndicate and now heading a new business, has bought her greed and selfishness. Xiola has forgotten to live by her parent’s code and has almost entirely lost interest in gaining respect of the magisters and high society of Silvermoon. She still remains devoted to Gittlemon and shows remorse when killing animals needlessly. During her time with Unspeakable Villainy Xiola kept separated from the politics often involved with the syndicate. However now as a leader figure within Raffles Industries, Xiola is often outspoken, rude and childish. Her points of view are not taken seriously. Xiola also enjoys Gaspig watching in her spare time.

Current Status
Xiola is co leading Raffles International and living in the Borean Tundra. She is enjoying her time there but not enjoying the cold.
