Ximen Lan

Ximen Lan was a Gravekeeper and the ancestor of Ximen Guanren and Ximen Ruxin. He was the representative of the main branch Gravekeeper clan before 1860, and was Ximen Lianyin's predecessor.

Background
Before 1860, Ximen Lan was the representative of the main branch Gravekeeper clan. Instead of becoming a guardian in the Department of Night, he chose to serve as a demon general in the Underworld. He would eventually become the most trusted aide to Xi Sha, the previous incarnation of Xi Sha who was then the ruler of the Underworld by helping her quickly put down uprisings against her and managing her daily life. The two eventually developed a romantic relationship, though it ended when Xi Sha revealed to Ximen Lan that she had Y'Shari as her other lover. Leaving Xi Sha, Ximen Lan eventually joined the terrorist revolutionary organization Bloodstain in order to learn about the time of their assassination attempt on Xi Sha's life so that he could collect her corpse when she dies.

Appearance
Ximen Lan was a young man who greatly resembled his descendant Ximen Guanren, the only difference being their cowlicks' appearance with Guanren's being split into two while Lan's resembled three spikes. Similarly, when seeking potential suitors or developing romantic feelings, Ximen Lan's cowlick would physically change into one large spike-like lock of hair. He was seen wearing the Gravekeeper black robe while serving Xi Sha, and a black hooded cloak during the assassination attempt against her.

Abilities and Powers
Ximen Lan was the representative guardian of the Gravekeepers, and was shown to single-handedly defeat several demons when putting down uprisings, proving that he was formidably powerful.
