Xot was the owner of a three-story bar located near the spaceport of the city of Belgar on the planet Belgaroth. His identity was shrouded in mystery: over the years, more than three dozen beings of various species and genders had visited the bar, each claiming to be Xot. No one knew whether he was a shapeshifter or if the truth was something far more complicated. In any case, it seemed that few cared. Local criminal elements often frequented Xot's bar and were well informed about all the underworld affairs of Belgaroth.
