Xena of Amphipolis, also known as the Warrior Princess and Destroyer of Nations. As a warlord, she was at the head of one of the most ruthless and destructive armies that Earth had ever seen. With her lover, Borias, she traveled to numerous countries, making her name known and feared. Most notably was China, Siberia, Japan and, later (after Borias' death), Norway, Britannia, and Greece. After being redeemed by Hercules, she attempted to walk a path of redemption. With Gabrielle her best friend in the beginning and then later her implied lover and soulmate, she became renowned as one of the greatest heroes of the time, traveling to places such as India and Egypt, fighting for the Greater Good.
In her late teens to early twenties, Xena's village was raided by the warlord Cortese. She organized a small band of men consisting of simple villagers and her two brothers, Toris and Lyceus (against their mother's wishes. Lyceus was killed in the battle, so Xena was ostracized and forbidden to return. This began her journey to becoming a violent and merciless warlord. She traveled the world - mainly to China, Japan, and Siberia with her lover, Borias. Xena gave birth to her and Borias' son, Solan, in the middle of one of the greatest battles of the age: the Battle of Corinth, between Borias, herself, and the centaurs. Xena claimed that giving birth to Solan was one of her turning points, along with meeting Hercules and Gabrielle.
After being set on a path of redemption by Hercules, she traveled with Gabrielle her best friend in the beginning and then later her implied lover and soulmate, to fight for the Greater Good. Her final demise was deemed necessary to complete her quest for redemption. During her journey to Japan with Borias (years before meeting Hercules), she inadvertently (and unknowingly) caused the death of 40,000 people of Higuchi, a large village in Japan. These souls were captured by Yodoshi and were rendered unable to cross over to the other side. Xena had to die to fight Yodoshi, and then stay dead to protect the souls from being condemned once again. - Xena Wiki
