Mavican

Mavican is a character on Xena: Warrior Princess. She is a fearless warrior, who was a former protege of Ares. She was told by him that she would succeed Xena's place as his heir, if she could kill her.

Ares sent Mavican, Xena and Gabrielle to a realm, created by Ares, where the three can fight it out. Xena and Gabrielle were merged into one body (Xena during the day and Gabrielle at night).

It is later learned that the 'Game' is actually centered on Gabrielle, to succeed Xena's throne. Ares rules stated that if Xena killed Mavican then she stayed right where she was, trapped in the realm. He didn't, however, say that Gabrielle couldn't kill Mavican.

Xena puts Mavican in a 'lose-lose' situation, so she asks for Ares' help. Xena reminicies to a time when Ares told her that whoever asks for his help doesn't deserve it. Xena and Gabrielle are sent back to the real world, whilst Mavican stays trapped in the realm.

Her status is left unknown.

She only appeared in one episode of Xena: "Succession".

She was played by Jenya Lano.
