Crassus

is one of the leaders of Julius Caesar's legions. He is captured by Xena, in order for her to trade him for Vercinix, the hero of Gaul, of whom Caesar has captured and promised the entire nation of Itallia that he will be publically executed in the Colosseum. Xena makes a deal for Caesar to go and see him, in order to prove that she actually has him.

Whilst Xena sets her plan to swap Crassus for Vercinix in Rome, Gabrielle drugs Crassus and stages a fight between him and herself, to get sent into prison and swap him for Vercinix. When Crassus is bought out into the arena instead of Vercinix, Caesar is forced to execute who the public think is Vercinix - although it is actually Crassus.

He was played by Matthew Chamberlain.
