In September [[3149]], after attempting to convince the [[Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation|Chancellor]] to not attack [[Terra]], he had a private meeting with the Chancellor's daughter [[Danai Liao-Centrella]] in an attempt to win her support.<ref>''Blood Will Tell'' ch. 32</ref>

On March [[3151]] following the MAC's defeat at [[Battle of Northwind (3150)|Northwind]], the Chancellor punished the unit by shaking up its leadership including the removal of Xavier from the command of the MAC. When Xavier protested the decision, [[Daoshen Liao]] raged and ordered him executed, along with any other MAC officer who protested. Xavier's son, Cyrus, didn't protest or attempt to save his father, but offered himself to replace him as commander of the MAC. Daoshen refused, instead naming his daughter [[Danai Liao-Centrella]] as the new commander of the MAC, with Cyrus retaining his position in the MAC under Danai's command.<ref name=IlClanp119>''IlClan (sourcebook)'' pp. 119 </ref>
