He was born in the fictional Caribbean Republic of Santa Prisca, in a prison called Peña Dura ("Hard Rock").

His father Edmund Dorrance had escaped Santa Prisca's court system. The corrupt government however decreed that his young son would serve out the man's life sentence, and thus His childhood and early adult life are spent in the amoral penitentiary environment.

He commits his first murder at the age of eight, stabbing a criminal. During his years in prison, He carried a teddy bear he calls Osito (Spanish for "little bear"), whom he considers his only friend.

Former Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat spoke of his 'admiration' of X in 1953, when he was a young man, but it is possible that Sadat's views were shaped mainly by his anti-British sentiments.

German historian Friedrich Meinecke said that X’s life "is one of the great examples of the singular and incalculable power of personality in historical life".

Identify X in a real-life “Villain” context.

Danny Denzongpa was the first choice for ‘X’ but had to miss out because he was shooting for Dharmatma in Afghanistan. ‘Y’ was almost dropped from the project because Javed Akhtar found his voice too weak for X's role but was later convinced. For his preparation for the role ‘Y’ read Abhishapth Chambal, a book on Chambal dacoits written by Taroon Kumar Bhaduri (actress Jaya Bhaduri's father).

X and his brother Y were born to fulfill the curse on the second birth as enemies of Vishnu in the Treta Yuga. The curse of first birth was fulfilled by Hiranyakashipu and his brother Hiranyaksha in Satya Yuga when they were both vanquished by Narasimha and the curse of third birth was fulfilled by Dantavakra and Shishupala in the Dwapar Yuga when they were both vanquished by Lord Krishna.
