Every underworld crime figure worth his salt has a loyal henchman to carry out his orders. For Stefan Cassadine, that being is Xam, a devoted Aqualish bodyguard and "Security Chief" for Cassadine Enterprises. Xam was usually a lightly comical figure in the campaign and was often in the background baby-sitting, delivering messages, keeping look-out, etc. for "Mr. and Mrs. C". He served an important function, however, because the mystique of a character like Stefan Cassadine can be lessened with overuse, but Xam was usually around to represent his employer's interests.
Xam's most dramatic role in the campaign came near the end, as he found himself in a one-on-one fight with Daal while a poisoned Tarn Tamarand neared death's door between them. Daal won the fight and saved Tarn's life, but Xam survived and soon resumed his duties for the Cassadines.

You left out my favourite element of Xam's background. We watch a lot of General Hospital and that show features mobster Sonny Corinthos and his loyal bodyguard Max - who is devoted to Mr. & Mrs. C. We co-opted Max, made him an alien and gave him (in my opinion) a much cooler boss to serve.
