Analysis
Xander comes as a prepromoted Paladin in chapter 16 of Conquest, where he is auto recruited on turn 1, and chapter 17 of Revelation, where he is auto recruited on turn 2 alongside Leo and their retainers. In both routes, he will be an excellent all around unit, giving extra movement to other characters through Pair Up, rescuing certain units through the use of Shelter and one-shotting or dealing great damage to enemy units. He can also be used to weaken enemies to train up your weaker units, but you should have a fairly strong team by the time Xander joins in both games.
Xander joins with high bases and growths in every area besides magic and resistance, along with his personal sword Siegfried. Siegfried gives Xander a reliable 1-2 range option, +10 dodge and +4 defense, on top of having 11 might, making it easily one of the best swords in Fates. His Paladin class gives him access to swords and lances, though he will rarely be using weapons other than Siegfried, as it has infinite uses, and the occasional situational weapons such as Beast Killers and Armorslayers. He comes with the skills Shelter, Elbow Room and Chivalry. Shelter as mentioned earlier is great for getting units out of bad positions and gives Xander additional utility. Elbow room provides him with +3 damage to enemy units when he is on terrain with no effect, which is the most common terrain in most maps in Fates. Lastly, Chivalry lets him deal +2 more damage as well as take -2 damage from enemy units with full HP, further improving his damage dealing and defense.
Xander, while in his Paladin class, learns the skills Defender and Aegis. Defender gives +1 to every stat when paired up with another units, which will be almost always, making it an excellent skill for a frontline unit like Xander. Aegis, on the other hand, will halve damage from most 2 range weapons; while useful in some situations, Xander already has great defense and due to his low resistance he should be kept away from enemy mages unless he can one-shot them anyway.
Despite having both a good base and growth in speed, Xander can struggle at doubling most enemies and can even get doubled if he is unlucky with his level ups. This can easily be fixed by giving Xander a Speedwing, a Speed Tonic or a speed Pair up. For this reason his best pair up partner is often considered to be Charlotte; she grants him additional strength and speed, allowing him double enemies more often, and she also has a fairly quick support with Xander. If you have not trained up Charlotte it can be dangerous to bring her along for some of the later maps and you may want to use a unit that does more than just support Xander, this isn't a big problem as any speed pair up will do fine and Xander will kill most things he doubles anyway.
Overall, Xander is an excellent unit who will be the cornerstone of almost every team, as his weaknesses are few and easy to fix and his contributions are not to be understated. Fittingly Xander stands at the top, as one of the best units in Fates.
In regards to reclassing, Xander has three options: Great Knight, Wyvern Lord and Malig Knight. As Xander has low magic and is not proficient in axes or tomes, as well as lowering his speed, Malig Knight is often a poor class for Xander despite it is useful skills.
Great Knight lowers his speed, resistance and movement, but raises his HP, strength and defense. This in combination with Siegfried makes Xander into a mobile tank, allowing him to almost never get damaged by physical attacks and possibly even endure attacks from effective weaponry. He will also get Luna and Armored Blow in this class, further raising his defense. This class does make his weakness to magic even more noticeable and will lower his offensive potential as he will lose all potential of doubling anything but the slowest enemies without Wary Fighter.
Wyvern Lord lowers his resistance and luck, but raises his skill and defense, along with giving him the ability to fly over terrain. The first two skills that he learns in this class are Strength +2 and Lunge. Strength +2 is only useful when Xander is still in the midst of building up his Strength, and will lose its effectiveness over time, while Lunge is useless in most situations and usually is not worth the skill slot. The other two skills he learns are Rally Defense and Swordbreaker. Rally Defense is a great support skill allowing Xander to buff his allies when he is not fighting, and Swordbreaker is an excellent skill that gives Xander the upper hand and against sword users such as Swordmasters.

Personality and character
Xander is the crown prince of Nohr and next in line to succeed his father, Garon. As such he's been trained to be a king since his childhood and because of this he's shown to be quite distant from other people, including his family. Despite this Xander is a family-man, showing great care towards his three younger half-siblings and even his adopted sibling, Corrin, as well. While he is often away in battle, he has a surprising knowledge of many of their preferences, hobbies and habits, causing even Camilla to acknowledge that his knowledge rivals even hers.
Xander is considered to be a model knight, he's fiercely loyal to his father and is ready to do anything for the sake of his country, Nohr. Xander is also extremely honorable as shown in "Counquest" as he refuses to follow Zola's plan to ambush the Hoshidan royals in order to end the war swiftly, because he considered it dishonorable. Despite this he views that no one is truly evil, but merely shades of right and wrong that stems from their character, though he has his limits and will not tolerate people such as Hans and Iago.
Having seen numerous battlefields, Xander is commonly depicted as battleworn, having come to terms with the numerous lives he has taken for his country, as well as losing his previous two retainers. Because of this Xander often tries to distance himslef from others, even though he cares for others deeply. Xander is also shown to regret many of his actions in his Corrin and Nyx supports, the latter even implying that Xander has had suicidal thoughts.
Xander is described as "stubborn" by his trophy in Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo 3ds. This can be seen in Chapter 26 of Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright when Xander is unwilling to give up a duel with the avatar despite the death of his own sister.
Despite being shown as clever in his supports, Xander refuses to see how his father has changed and will even attack his siblings if they dare desobay Garon. He does uncover how Garon has been replaced by another entity in Reveations, after he sees Garon have a conversation with the celling, and decides to betray him and join Corrin.
Xander often contradicts himself as he dislikes war, but is willing to let help his enemys if he considers the means of victory dishonorable. He also berates Charlotte and Laslow for their flirting ways, but is completely fine with his retainer, Pery, going on killing sprees. This is usually considered a problem with the writing in Fates, rather than a character flaw of Xander.
