Xanathar is a beholder crime lord in Waterdeep/forgotten realms.

TIL Xanathar is an in-universe character and not the nickname of a real life DnD book author.

This is from the plot on Wikipedia from the video game though

After navigating a gauntlet of traps they face and kill Karne, and then find the guild master, the beholder Xantam
