- Xamot is a Cobra character from the A Real American Hero and G.I. Joe vs. Cobra series.
As a twin, Xamot is a mirror image of his brother Tomax, save for a scar on his face. But make no mistake, their personalities are an absolute match. He is motivated by money and a need to control things to his advantage. He is among Cobra's operatives who value brains just as much as brawn. It is then not a surprise that Cobra Commander gave him and Tomax control of the elite Crimson Guard force.
He and Tomax both served in the Foreign Legion before venturing out as successful mercenaries. A near fatal firefight that gave Xamot the scar on his face provided the impetus for both to leave the battlefield. They went to Zurich where they became financial geniuses. However, international finance was too haphazard for his controlling nature and trudged through until the fateful meeting with the Commander.

Trivia
- While the cartoon and comics played up the psychic connection between Tomax and Xamot, it was never mentioned in their original filecard. It took up until the SpyTroops series to mention any such ability.
