As a young Viscerian on Microsia, Xant dreamed of being the first Viscerian diplomat and perhaps one day becoming a Micronaut.
Xant was serving time in the same prison as Baron Karza and Quin-Tillus. He spent most of his time talking though the vent to Quin-Tillus. When the Baron escaped it set Xant free. Baron Karza forced Quin-Tillus to open a Space Bridge to escape. Xant tripped and fell through this bridge, followed by others pursuing Baron Karza. Appearing in the garage of Cameron Ruck on Earth, Xant and his new companions were attacked by the Baron's robot minions Betatron and Gammatron but he was saved by an Omnitrix robot that had come with them through the bridge.
