Biography[]
Xavier Plympton was a young man who lived in Los Angeles, California in the early 1980s. He was an up-and-coming actor who attended school at Stella Adler.
Xavier Plympton worked as an instructor at an aerobics class called "Slimmercise" where he became friends with Chet Clancy, Ray Powell, Montana Duke, and lastly, Brooke Thompson. In the summer of 1984, Los Angeles had become the killing grounds for a mysterious serial killer dubbed the "Night Stalker". Seeking to avoid becoming a potential victim, Xavier accepted a job as a camp counselor some distance away at Camp Redwood. He invited his friends to come along with him.
During the trip to the campground, Xavier was driving the van when they struck a hiker that had wandered out into the road. When they got out to inspect him, Xavier noted that he had dried blood on his arms and hands, suggesting a preexisting injury. This brought him some measure of relief, as he was desperate to avoid any blame for the accident. [1]
Blake finds Xavier at Camp Redwood as it is revealed Blake is a porn producer/sugar daddy who helped rehabilitate Xavier after discovering him strung-out in a park. Despite being straight, Blake forced Xavier to star in a gay porn film and attempted to blackmail him into doing another one. [2]
