SaberX (real name Jason "Jay" Reed) is the former protégé of Firestormblaze.
Personality
Edit
Working alongside Firestormblaze for years, he followed his influence, and because of that the two have very similar personalities. Though while his mentor was lighthearted and immature, he tended to act more maturely than him and people who were older than him, and still be able to get along with them.
Around his friends, he was treated as the "little brother", which he in particularly wasn't very fond of. Yet around Firestormblaze, who he treated as a brother of sorts, he never seemed to mind.
SaberX has a unique personality, and prefers to fight from the shadows, using methods such as ambushes and decoys to take down the opponent without much of a fight. This attitude puts him at odds with others heroes, such as Stigma and Arcana, who try to show him how unconventional using these underhanded methods are. In turn, he often complains about how untimely the two are in their fights; even going as far as challenging their battle prowess on occasions. It has been said that he is insecure, and carries doubt about his own abilities. He has admitted to that only once, to those he has been known to trust. Apart from battle, SaberX has been known to like very few things. He is a self-proclaimed pessimist, and has the total opposite of a sunny disposition. However this some how builds an attraction to his comrades, as on more than one occasion, many other girls have been taken with him.
Physical appearance
Edit
SaberX is of African American, as well as native american descent. He has black hair, and brown eyes; as well as tan skin. Saber wears a different outfit for each of his appearances, (with the exception of battle) but they are always black, as he wears mainly dark clothes. Black scarfs, and boots. Shirts, and pants in the same color. He can be seen with his Katana on his belt, in his hand, or on his back.

Trivia
Edit
- His theme is Ready To Go, by David Whitaker, from the anime Guilty Crown's OST.
- Whenever he is angered, he shows another side of his personality. One of rage, and revenge. This can be identified by a simple call: "HEY!" in a very dark, and possibly demonic tone that frightens enemies and allies alike.
