Xavier McCarron was the sixth commanding officer of the McCarron's Armored Cavalry Brigade.[1]

History

Xavier was the son of Rhamses McCarron and the grandson of Archibald McCarron; due to his pedigree, he wanted to show that he could be the commander for the Armored Cavalry due to his skill and not just because of his birthright. In order to achieve his goal, Xavier enrolled at the Sarna Martial Academy where he excelled at his studies.[1]

He was too young to participate in the fighting with the newly formed Republic; he was later able to secure command of the 2nd McCarron's Armored Cavalry just in time for the Victoria War. During the war, Xavier was able to establish an impressive battle record by racking up an extraordinary amount of kills and was demonstrate his brilliance at strategic thinking.[1]

His exemplary combat record made him the only serious candidate to take command of the whole McCarron's Armored Cavalry when the position became available in 3109.[3] Two years later, when the Capellan Crusades began in 3111, Xavier was able to quickly gain victories on multiple worlds until he met up against an impressive defense of Republic Armed Forces on the world of Kansu. His only failure of the war was his inability to break the defense when the truce was announced in 3113.[1]

Xavier personally groomed his eldest son, Cyrus McCarron, to succeed him as the commander of the MAC.[1]

On March 3151 following the MAC's defeat at Northwind, the Chancellor punished the unit by shaking up its leadership including the removal of Xavier from the command of the MAC. When Xavier protested the decision, Daoshen Liao raged and ordered him executed, along with any other MAC officer who protested. Xavier's son, Cyrus, didn't protest or attempt to save his father, but offered himself to replace him as the commander of the MAC. Daoshen refused, instead naming his daughter Danai Liao-Centrella as the new commander of the MAC. Cyrus was allowed to retain his position in the MAC under Danai's command.[4]
