Regular Cast Members

During the series we are introduced to a number of characters, some of which become fairly regular and others who make a once off appearance. The following are characters who have made a number of appearances and therefore deserve a mention when discussing Xena : Warrior Princess.

Salmoneus - Robert Trebor

He is the local wheeler-dealer, a man whose only interest is profit and will sell anything to obtain it. He is a regular who has been brought from the parent series, Hercules - the Legendary Journeys.

Joxer the Maginficent - Ted Raimi

Joxer is a knight errant, much like Don Quixote de la Mancha. That is to say that he is always ready to lend a helping hand but this hand tends to do the opposite. He was first introduced in an episode where his mission was to get Gabrielle and bring her back to Calisto who wants to use her as bait for Xena. In Return for capturing Gabrielle he will be allowed to join with Calisto's army as a warrior.
In the Xena Scrolls, set as an Indiana Jones type adventure during the WW2 era, he is made out as a Foreign Legion type who is overseeing the excavations of a tomb which holds the legendary Xena Scrolls, Gabrielle's stories about her adventures with Xena. During the course of the story we are shown by Aires that Joxer is much like his predecessor in that he is again taking a title which he doesn't deserve but he still shows his true colours and helps Xena in her battle with evil. He 'borrows' one of the scrolls and at the end of the story set 50 years later his son is in Robert Tapert's office showing him the scroll and thus the story of Xena is born, or so we are led to believe.

Calisto - Hudson Leick

Calisto is the arch-nemesis of Xena. Calisto comes from a village that Xena destroyed before she found enlightenment. Calisto is very like Xena in both her athletic abilities and in her prowess as a warrior and a leader of men. She has a hatred of Xena which lives on beyond even death. She killed Gabrielle's husband as a means to turning Gabrielle to the dark side and to taunt Xena about her best friend. In another episode she, with the help of Aires, invades Xena's dreams and takes over her body leaving Xena's spirit trapped in the world of Hades, the underworld. But Hades gives Xena the chance to redeem her body from Calisto but in the final struggle Xena wins but is trapped in Calisto's mortal body. This is followed in an episode where Xena is Xena in Calisto's body but by aiding Aires to retrieve his godly powers he returns her to her original form.

Aires - God of War - Kevin Smith

Aires is the mentor of Xena. He has crafted her into the great warrior she is and when she turned away from him in order to pursue a more valuable life he became determined to get her back. He has taken on many forms in order to try to return her to her evil ways including that of her estranged father but all to no avail. In one episode he became mortal and had to rely on Xena's help in order to retrieve his sword which grants him his powers. While in mortal form he succumbs to fear and pain. He declares that when he becomes immortal again he will change for the better but this promise is quickly forgotten when he does so.

Argo the horse

Her real name is Tilly and she is as stubborn as any mule. She is Xena's mount and Gabrielle and her have a little problem getting alone to begin with. Hence the reason why Gabrielle walks everywhere while Xena rides.
