- "Your Grace, I left that life behind, I'm a father now."
"Ah yes. Your daughter." - ―Lexo Sooger and the Countess
Lexo Sooger was a Dor Namethian male who was the star masseur at Zord's Spa and Bathhouse in Canto Bight.[2] Sooger used to be an Assassin.
Background
Lexo Sooger was born into poverty and raised in the slave pits of Askkto-Fen IV tending to fighting slaves in the steam baths until he was purchased by a merchant who saw his potential as a masseuse. He eventually settled on Cantonica becoming a masseur at Zord's Spa and Bathhouse in Canto Bight.
One night he found a female human baby in a cargo container in an alley and took her in. Unable to find her parents, Lexo adopted the child calling her Lula. Despite his initial dislike of humans and initial lack of knowledge on caring for one, Lexo raised her with love and care and the two had a deep bond with Lexo affectionately calling Lula his "azure sea". The two lived in sparse conditions in living quarters below Canto Bight.[1] He was sought by the gangster Sturg Ganna, who eventually kidnapped Lula. Lexo called in several favors and utilized many of his former skills as an assassin to find and rescue her. Eventually Lexo infiltrated Sturg's home and found Lula, he also found incriminating evidence on Sturg to blackmail him into leaving him and Lula alone from now on. He also got Sturg to pay for Lula to take Fathier-riding lessons.[2]
