I love the theory that Xero might have been the first bug to be infected by the radiance's light. This is an interpretation of the moment right before his mind was infected.

When Xero first entered Hallownest, he was the only one that had been gifted with the Pale King’s ability to summon Soul Nails with ease. Making the other bugs impressed by his newfound ability. Not only that, but Xero is talented with the way of the nail, having been trained back in his home Colony in battle.
Being revered for his ability to summon Soul Nails and his affinity with battle, he became a one of the Great Five Knights. During this time, only Dryya, Hegemol, Ze’mer and Isma was around. And he was able to do amazing feats in his time as one of the Great Five Knights.
He was an king and outgoing fellow, if not a little loud and bold with his decisions. But even then, in his presence a single group of squabbling bugs can turn into an outstanding team. Rally bugs to work together as one. The units that he commanded on the behalf of the Pale King worked flawlessly together.
However, he also had his own flaws.
When it came to battle tactics, he was not the brightest of bugs. Being used to be noble foot warrior and not a commander in his time. While he was good at getting bugs together and making them listen to his orders, those orders of his are not the best.
It was his greatest weakness.
Or maybe, his true greatest weakness was his bonds with these foot warriors.
The times he allowed himself to talk and know these warriors.
So when the Battle of the Black Wyrm arrived, he grieved all that he lost.
The weak and the strong. The smart and the dull.
All those who was under his command that he learned to care for, dying at his foolish hands that did not know how to save them from their untimely death because of his weakness.
If only the person who was leading them were smarter. Better. More competent than he.
Maybe they wouldn’t have died.
The battle was only saved when a humble beetle rolled in, taking the command and leading the remaining bugs to victory with his exceptional tactics. Throwing the enemies by surprise with his magnificent laughter.
When the battle finally ended, with the Black Wyrm dead. That was when Xero accepted he was not befit of his title as one of the Great Knights.
Willingly shedding his title and telling his King that he was ill suited for his and his people’s needs, he recommended the humble beetle to be a Great Knight. And with Hegemol’s backing, his wish was granted.
Even though he was now a simple bug, with no title of his own he could proudly say. He still stayed in the force, helping those in need in his humble shadow. Awaiting for the time he could truly pay for all those who lost their lives because of him. And move on happily, knowing that they as well are happy in their next life.
But Then The Light Came.

xero moment
I've come to make an announcement: The Pale King's a bitch ass motherfucker
He pissed on my fucking sleep paralysis demon
That's right, he took his… fucking WHATEVER HE HAS out, and he pissed on my fucking Sleep paralysis demon
And he said his stupid wyrm flat spot was "this big", and I said "that's disgusting"
So I'm making a callout post on my Twitter.com: Pale King, you got a small …whatever
It's the size of this Geo except way smaller
And guess what? here's what my nonexistent dong looks like
That's right baby
All points, no STUPID FUCKING WYRM ANATOMY, no pillows
Look at that, it looks like nothing but it’s better than yours
He fucked my sleep paralysis demon so guess what, I'm going to fuck the Earth
That's right, this is what you get! MY SUPER LASER PISS
Except I'm not going to piss on the Earth
I'm going to go higher, I'm pissing ON THE MOON
How do you like that, eh? I PISSED ON THE MOON YOU IDIOT
You have 23 hours before the piss drrrrroplllllllets hit the fucking Earth, now get out of My sight before I piss on you too
