Season 6

Xavier attacks Brooke in her store

Xavier overhears his brother, Jack, and Jack's friend, Sam talk about how Sam was caught shoplifting at the store Clothes Over Bros. Xavier listens to Sam calling her names and saying that someone has to put her in her place. With this in mind, that night, Xavier goes into Brooke's store with a mask on and attacks her. He knocks her over a sofa in her store and begins beating her helpless. He steals Brooke's sketches and also ends his attack by telling Brooke to 'Have a nice night.' After the attack, Brooke is left traumatized and feels insecure in herself and thus resorts to carrying around a gun and training to fight back for the day she finds her attacker. She also decides not to report the crime to the police due to paparazzi interference and not wanting to involve anyone else. After a successful attack on Brooke's store, Xavier continues breaking the law and robs a gas station. After killing a worker at the gas station, Xavier is shocked when a person arrives to pay for his gas. Quentin, a high school student and promising basketball player, walks in the shop and goes to pay, but notices something is wrong with Xavier who is at the counter. Quentin notices the dead worker behind the counter and looks up in shock as Xavier points a gun at him and hammily tells him to have a nice night. He shoots the gun, killing Quentin and leaving a string of grief around the town of Tree Hill. Sam eventually finds out from Jack that it was Xavier who attacked Brooke because of what she said. She tells Brooke that night of the attack she caused and Brooke lets Sam leave.

Frightened, she wakes up, thanks him and grabs her bag to leave.

Sam assures him that she never told Brooke who stole the sketches as Xavier asks if she felt guilty towards Brooke. Sam tells Xavier how good she was to her for putting her in the nice, but Xavier takes it as she is saying that Brooke kept her from people like him and Jack. He tells Sam that he used to like her but does not like people who forget where they are from. Jack interrupts them telling Xavier to leave Sam alone, but Xavier turns around and hits him.

Brooke holds Xavier at gun point

After frantically looking for Sam, Brooke remembers that she spent a lot of time with Jack. She finds out where he lives and races to his house. As she knocks on the door, Xavier sees who it is. He goes into the bedroom and puts Sam in a cupboard. Tied up, Sam is told to not make a sound. Xavier then goes to answer the door and tells Brooke that he does not know where Jack or Sam is. Xavier laughs that they might be having sex and that he does not follow what Jack does. As they talk, Xavier compliments Brooke and the uncomfortable atmosphere and unusual comment, makes Brooke more curious. As she goes to leave, Xavier asks if she feels good to take in a child like him as Brooke says that he does not know her. She leaves as Xavier tells her to have a nice night. As he closes the door, Brooke realizes that he is the man that attacked her. She runs back up to the door and begins slamming on the door. As he answers again, Brooke sprays him with pepper spray in the eyes and demands to know where Sam is and kicks him to the floor. She runs into the house screaming for Sam. She runs into the bedroom and eventually finds Sam. As she promises Sam she is not going to leave her and everything will be okay, Xavier comes up behind her and pulls her up by the hair. Brooke begins to fight back and spits in his face as Xavier strangles her against the wall. She eventually breaks free and runs through the house as Xavier follows and trips her up. They both crawl as Brooke races for her purse and grabs the gun out of it and aims it at Xavier. Brooke tells him that she is not the same girl he met in the store and that he ruined her life. She prepares to shoot as Jack, Julian and Sam run in the door. She is about to shoot as Sam asks her not to as she needs her. She calls Brooke mom and Brooke lowers the gun. She tells Xavier that he is not worth her time and especially not her life. She hits him over the head with gun and as she knocks him out, tells him to have a good night.("Things a Mama Don't Know")

Relationships

• Family: Xavier Daniels/Family

Family

Xavier's parents were absent throughout his life and he was forced to spend his life alone and often taking care of his younger brother Jack. They managed to get a house although it was unknown whether Xavier had a job. As Jack grew up, Xavier was used to Jack's constant coming and going from their house. Eventually, their relationship turned violent when Xavier began hitting Jack. Even though this occured, Jack still relied on Xavier and loved his brother very much and both of them looked after each other and wanted the best for each other.

Romantic

Not much is known about Xavier's personal life. It is unknown whether he had had a partner before or whether he had been single all of his life. However, he showed a lack of communication skills with the opposite sex when complimenting Brooke Davis on her appearance during the missing of her foster daughter, Sam Walker. Through this comment, Brooke was made very uncomfortable. Xavier also laughed that his brother, Jack may have been having sex with Sam Walker, again making Brooke very uncomfortable.

Trivia

• Although Xavier is usually referred to with the surname "Daniels", he is called "Xavier Walker" in a parole letter sent to Brooke, as seen on screen in the episode "Last Known Surroundings".
• It is unknown as to how long Xavier was imprisoned.
• Although his behavior hints so, it was also never confirmed of any mental issues that Xavier had.
• Jack and Xavier never discussed the reasons for their parents leaving them to live on their own.
• Xavier appeared to have no job but was able to live in a house with his brother with no income. It is likely he robbed Quentin and the person he killed earlier that night, and also robbed the store where he committed the murders.
• Of the 4 psycho stalkers (along with Ian Banks, Carrie and Katie Ryan), Xavier is the only one responsible for murder. The other 3 attempted murder, but were either intervened (Ian, Carrie) or their targets survived (Katie).
