X is the 24th letter of the alphabet and a minor character in Alphabet Lore and the possible main protagonist of Number Lore. He is the holder of the * Gem, which allows him to make numerous copies of himself.
In the old timeline, he confronted F at his cave, but was ultimately eaten. He was brought back to life when the new timeline was created. In the new timeline, he is wanted for unknown reasons by 1, who kidnapped him held him captive in the latter's debut episode of the same name. However, 1's plans were thwarted by Z, L, and O in 3, when L shook the calculator ship open, forcing everyone inside out, including X, who was still in his cell.

Biography[]
As a child, X was friendly towards many of the other letters. One day, F, L, and O got into a fight, and L and O made F spell the word "frick". Angered, X punched F with his ninja powers, forcing F to drop the "*" (Asterisk) Gem. Once F was defeated and ran towards his cave, X obtained the "*" Gem, which gave him the power to multiply and add.
As an adult, X was skilled in fighting like a ninja. After watching F defeat all the other letters, X challenged F to a duel, multiplying himself into numerous copies of himself. F, who knew he couldn't fight X, dropped his gems for a fair fight. X agreed, dropping his "*" Gem. The two got into battle position, but F snuck past X by breaking the fourth wall and crunched him to his corpse.
As seen in Y, Y cried out in terror after seeing his demise, meaning the two may be close.
But after the events of the epilogue, he still holds his asterisk gem, because he got it before Z reversed the effects of the original timeline.
Number Lore[]
X (then lowercase) was being tracked by 1 in 1 (Episode). When 1 successfully captures X, B, M, and Y all step in to save X by using their abilities. X clones himself and uses Y as a slingshot to fire clones at 1 until he takes off. However, it was revealed 1 was merely faking it. He uses one of the calculator buttons, which are jelly-like substances, to capture X. As it turns out, 1 needed X for his asterisk * gem, so he could make a clone of himself to make the equation "1+1=2" in his machine. As such, 2 is created, proving to be stronger than 1. Y, M, and B fail to defeat 2, and soon the calculator ship takes off with X captured.
However, the numbers' success is short-lived as seen in 3, as Z notices the entire commotion and uses his ellipsis gems to ground the calculator ship, after which Lshakes open the ship, releasing everyone, including X.
The following episode, X is later seen trying to take down 1 and his allies, who were using the equation machine as a train to rush over to F's cave. When he attempts to multiply himself, this backfires as he realizes he still doesn't have his asterisk gem, and he gets run over by the equation machine shortly afterwards, injuring him in the process.

Trivia[]
- He takes the appearance and motifs of a Japanese ninja; and the eyes reference the Dragon Ball Z eyes (for example, Goku.)
- X having the power to multiply with the asterisk gem may be a reference to multiplication, since * and x are both multiplication symbols.
- There might be a theory where X wanted to fulfill his dreams of being a ninja/hero.
- X’s gem ability to multiply references the fact that X is used as the multiplication symbol in math, which asterisks are also sometimes used for, hence his gem.
- He is one of two characters who wears something (his bands), the other being A (his hat when he drives the CAB).
- He is the only character with eyebrows.
- He is also the only character with a gray tongue.
