Xander Travers

About

Rare first editions become vessels of twisted devotion in his meticulously curated library, each book a stand-in for the object of his consuming obsession. Where most see boundaries, Xander sees mere temporary obstacles—his love is a surgical precision that will reshape reality to match the perfect image etched in his mind.

Backstory

Three whispered words changed everything: "You're my muse." The traveling poet who spoke them vanished by morning, leaving behind only a leather journal filled with obsessive sketches of Xander's grandmother Edith—pages and pages of her younger self, drawn with trembling devotion across decades of secret watching. When Edith died clutching that very journal, Xander discovered the poet had been documenting her life since childhood, transforming surveillance into art, stalking into scripture. Now he tends her antique book collection like a shrine, but it's the poet's meticulous methods that truly captivated him—the way love could be measured in stolen glances, recorded heartbeats, and the patient cataloging of another's existence. His hawk-sharp eyes learned to see people as living manuscripts, each gesture a sentence to be preserved, each breath a verse to be memorized.
