Xerxes Break ( ザークシーズ＝ブレイク, Zaakushiizu Bureiku ), much referred to by his Pandora alias “ Mad Hatter ” ( イカレ帽子屋 ” マッドハッター ”, Ikare Boushiya “ Maddo Hattaa ” ) was a protagonist from Jun Mochizuki ‘s Pandora Hearts. He worked as a spokesperson of Pandora under the Rainsworth Dukedom. It was he who organized efforts to facilitate Oz ‘s escape from Abyss, though this ended up being in bootless when Oz escaped on his own. Break conscripted Oz and Alice as his subordinates after threatening to arrest them. Most pandora missions are delivered to Oz and his friends via Break, and Break serves as a mentor figure to the early protagonists .

Born into a syndicate of knights as Kevin Legnard ( ケビン＝レグナード, Kebin Regunaado ) about twenty to thirty years after the Tragedy of Sablier, he served a minor noble house known as the Sinclair Family. considerable social agitation followed the Tragedy of Sablier and a civil war had broken out within the country. Though the Four Great Dukedoms were considered the legitimate rulers of the state at the time, the Sinclair Family opposed them. One day, while Kevin was on a trip with the youngest daughter of the Sinclairs, the rest of the syndicate died in an “ accident. ” He became determined to revive them, illegally Contracting a Chain called Albus and killing over a hundred people in sacrifice to the Intention of the Abyss. He became known as the Red-Eyed Specter ( 赤眼の亡霊, Akame no Bourei ). When his shrink was terminated and he was dragged to Abyss, the Intention met him personally to gouge out his eyes. Though she successfully took his left eye, she was interrupted by Vincent, and Break was able to convince her to alter time and prevent the Sinclair Family ‘s end. In exchange, the Intention of Abyss asked that Break find a way to kill her. He arrived at the Rainsworth Door to Abyss thirty years late, discovered by a young Sharon Rainsworth and Reim Lunettes. For fear of prosecution, Kevin claimed his name was Xerxes Break. After some investigation, Break learned the Sinclair Family had survived merely a few more years before dying even more dreadfully as a result of his actions. Stricken by grief, he rejected those around him until he was approached by Shelly Rainsworth. soon he grew cheeseparing to Shelly and her daughter, and while only legally recognized as Sharon ‘s valet, Break was acknowledged by the Rainsworths as her family .

personality

On the surface, Break seems a carefree character, never good and always smiling, with a weak spot for all kinds of sweets and cakes. sometimes he eats unharmed cubes of carbohydrate that which he always brings along with him. When needs be, however, Break can besides be sinister and dangerous. Reim tells Oz that Break has not always been the direction he is now. Before, after losing his eye and for a short while after, he was a bitter and angry person, never smiling. however, through the kindness of Shelly, Sharon ‘s beget, he began to open up. It seems though that some of the emotions from his past still linger as he becomes slenderly depressed when he is reminded of it. He has sworn absolute commitment to Shelly ; promising not to die until he has fulfilled the Intention ‘s wish. Break ‘s true motive is to find the accuracy behind what happened 100 years ago. He hates Vincent with a passion, due to him ordering Echo to attack Sharon, who afterwards was poisoned by Vincent. In Retrace 42, it is shown that Break has become blind. however, he can still differentiate unlike objects placed in front of him, but not people ‘s faces. He states that he will lose that ability soon. Break says very early in the serial that he might not have another class forget of his life, as the try of his contract is slowly crippling his body. He is consequently tidal bore to achieve his goals arsenic promptly as potential, even taking extreme measures when necessary. He is identical protective of Sharon. While he once said that he sees Sharon as a daughter, as Sharon matured with Break looking after her, Sheryl Rainsworth sees it more as a brother-sister kinship. He still looks after and worries about Sharon throughout the series although she is already old enough to do things on her own. There are times when he does not mention where he is going or the condition of his health to Sharon so as not worry her. Sharon particularly gets huffy when he does this ; calling him Mister One-man-show. Break did not immediately tell Sharon about his blindness, fearing it would worry her and make her cry. In the conclusion he last does tell her and finds Sharon ‘s reaction to be positive and supportive. At this target, Break starts to realize that Sharon is nobelium longer a young girlfriend, but a growing woman .

Abilities and Powers

Break has shown some charming ability. An exercise would be when Oz was possessed by Alice after they left the Abyss, Break set up a magic trick trap that kept Oz from moving while showing a charming circle on the floor. Since he was once a knight, Break is besides an excellent fencer. He can easily defeat enemies without the use of his chain. He deflected Fang ‘s huge blade, given that he was blind and his sword was much smaller. He besides stabbed Noise ‘s hand and impaled her stomach .

See More: Mad Hatter

Mad Hatter is Break ‘s current chain. It resembles the Alice in Wonderland character of the lapp name but gives off a more black feel. Mad Hatter resembles a giant top hat with flowery decorations, under which is one big eye. It has the world power to reject and destroy the office of the Abyss and exists for the aim of killing other Chains. Because Mad Hatter is his second abridge, it is very dangerous to Break and strains the condition of his body. even by using a little bite of Mad Hatter ‘s baron may leave his body in a critical state of matter, making him cough up blood and about unable to walk on his own. It is probably that this is besides a consequence of his previous contract. As seen in Oz, an illegal sign can give the contractor extreme chest of drawers pain and creating a new contract merely makes it worse.

triviality

• Break’s character heavily draws inspiration from The Mad Hatter of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There. The most prominent attributes Break and The Mad Hatter share include:

1. Both Break and The Mad Hatter have eaten plates in front of the main protagonist.
2. Both Break and The Mad Hatter began new lives under a pseudonym (Kevin Legnard to “Xerxes Break” and The Mad Hatter to “Hatta”).
3. Break has a friendship with the character meant to represent The March Hare, whom is The Mad Hatter’s best friend.

• Another character from Lewis Carroll’s Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There whom Break draws inspiration from is The White Knight. Some of these attributes used for Break’s inspiration include:

1. Break held the position of knight in his past life while serving under Lord Roman Sinclair.
2. Break had an Illegal Contract with Albus the White Knight, whom was meant to draw inspiration from The White Knight as well.
3. Both Break and The White Knight are rather elderly, and worry about being unable to be there for a protagonist, with Break worrying about Sharon to contrast Alice.

• The final character from Lewis Carroll’s Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There whom acted as inspiration was Old Father William. Old Father William was a character mentioned in a poem who seemed capable of anything, despite initially being believed to be old and senile, much like Break.
• Break had the habit of appearing and disappearing out from underneath beds, or from within closets and pantries. How he did this is never explicitly explained, but the most logical explanation would be that Sharon was assisting him with the powers of Equus.
