==Summary==
He is most known for being the server's head-of-staff for the most part of 3 years (including being [[Godsdead]]'s secretary), his ship building, hosting the server ship battles and events, plugin work, and role in server development. He is the founder of the [[Xenon Empire]], [[The Xanthian Order]], and later [[Xenia]], and played a key role in creating [[RoP]].

He received the rank of housewright, moderator, and admin in 2017 in quick succession. In 2018 he was symbolically 'promoted' to be Godsy's secretary, requiring him to wear a short skirt during his duty. After Godsdead, Xeron was the second in command for much of 2019 and 2020. He quit the server in March 2021 following a period of inactivity and a series of escalations with Godsdead.

==Overview==
An avid builder, some of his most known structures are the [[Port of Xenia]]; one of the largest ports on the server, the [[Grand Ballroom]]; host of the Royal Elven Ball, and the [[Xenon Tower]]; one of the tallest towers on the server (was demolished in January 2018). He also owns one of the largest and most accurate ship fleets on the server, being based off French 1780s designs. He popularised the 'salad' and 'Puffi' meme within PMC in 2019 and 2020 respectively. As of May 2021 he is the richest player in PMC history with a worth of $1,802,000.

He has played a prominant role in developing the server through build projects, plugin and dev work, community and staff team management, and server direction since his initial staff role in late 2016 (See 'Staff Team' section for details).

Xeron, now a server admin, largely retired from server on-goings, focusing more on building a new port, moderation, event hosting, and configs. The old [[Port of Xenia]] was regened, and a new larger port was founded in the nearby bay aiming to be the largest port on the server. It remains unfinished at ~20% completed by May 2021.

== Staff Team ==
==Staff Team==
Xeron has been very active in server developing, contributing to both plugin and config work as well as community and staff team management over 3 years. He became staff to improve the server and push for changes and development. As a result, the server is quite different and in a better position [citation needed] than when he started as staff in 2017.

He became staff to improve the server and push for changes and development. As a result, the server is quite different and in a better position [citation needed] than when he started as staff in 2017.  


He has always retained a close relationship with the community and promoted staff-player interaction, being a key voice of reason and criticism on behalf of the community, usually to the dislike of Godsdead. He was considered lenient in his moderation in stark contrast to the 'no-bullshit' moderation style used pre-2017, but emphasized communication and transparency, and was generally regarded as a decent staff member [citation needed ;-;]

He was a member of the original 'secret' build team in 2016, being enlisted by [[Chailey]] in June 2016 for his ships. He was formally promoted to housewright (build leader) in Jan 2017, commodore (mod) in May 2017, and admin in August 2017. During his time as admin he largely organized and ran the staff team and dictated its moderation style and members from 2018 onwards.

== Resignation / drama ==
==Resignation==
After a period of inactivity and dis-interest in late 2020, Xeron took a 3-month break. He briefly returned to finish outstanding plugin projects, including git templates (which are a huge help to all future pmc devs!) in an uneasy anticipation of a permanent departure.


After a period of inactivity and dis-interest in late 2020, Xeron took a 3-month break in December with little to no communication to the staff team or community. This appeared to deeply upset Godsdead as it forced him to find a replacement staff-team leader and be more actively involved in managing the team. He briefly returned during this period to finish outstanding plugin projects in anticipation of a permanent departure.  
In March 2021 he returned to PMC after a period of self-reflection of 4 years of server work, realizing he missed the community and PirateCraft could still use his help. His ideas and issues were discussed but unfortunately no common ground was found. Xeron saw no other alternative than to resign.
As of May 2021 Xeron retains his in-game rank however, he no longer plays a role in any moderation or development.  


In March 2021 he returned to PMC after a period of self-reflection of 4 years of server work, realizing he missed the community but PMC still had many glaring issues. These issues were discussed with Godsdead privately and included: a less hostile attitude from Gods towards the community, reduction or removal of pay2win features such as /back and instant tp, additional cosmetic items for the store. Additionally, he wanted payment for future plugin and config work given the large amount of work previously done for free.  
Xeron will always be a part of PirateCraft history, his contributions are a reminder of his work and dedication.  


Godsdead acknowledged his improper behavior towards the community but rejected the remaining suggestions. Payment was rejected on the basis that staff are volunteers, someone could easily be found to take on Xeron's work for free, and that much of his work was not deserving of payment despite the income it had generated for the server. Gods believed Xeron would stay only if he was payed, so by rejecting this demand he believed Xeron now had no reason to stay on the server, or as staff.
==Crew History==


In an escalation of events, Xeron's access to all plugin and config work was revoked, along with website admin permissions. When confronted with this by Xeron, Godsdead denied any wrongdoing and continued to gaslight. This culminated in Xeron formally retiring as staff as a result of "having the door slammed in my face after being taken for granted for 4 years with little to no appreciation".
As of May 2021 Xeron retains his in-game rank although many of the permissions have been removed. He no longer plays a role in any moderation or development.
'''Hi lego'''
Hi Lego! I guess this is going to get removed, but at least I'll know you have read it. I assume you're going to send this to Gods huh? He's gonna have a field day trash-talking me welp. Real shame how it got to this - all I wanted was a reward, I don't think that was too much to ask! Hey, I've also been pretty honest when writing this so I guess if you wanted to keep it up here it would work (I've got logs!) but then again that does seem pretty petty haha - I think I'd rather let this drama just end. Idk what version Gods told you lot... probably that I "suddenly became hostile for no reason". You'd think that if that were true I'd have a damn good reason to be hostile after being around for 6 years lol. I don't think I'll ever get my reward or at the very least an apology tho. If it gives him a reason to be ignorant then so be it, I just hope he doesn't treat any of you this way when you leave. I'll find a place that treats its staff fairly. Anyways - pop me a dm on discord some day if you wanna catch up! (same goes for anyone else reading this pog)
