So if you have read Admin Challenge, you know that X's stripes know look like the picture above. But how did they get like this?
Well, it goes back to when X got the stripes. During season 1, the hermits lost the world, to a hacker. It was X's fast thinking and planning that help the hermits get rid of said hacker. Generikb at this point had began to find the next admin, and his first choice was Keralis, however after X did that, he chose X.
When Keralis 'took' X's stripes, X was in spectator mode the whole time, waiting for Grian to make a move. Please do realize that Keralis HACKED on to the server. So when the ban hammer was brought down on him, X had repeated what he did the first time.
The stripes saw this and upgraded to show that.
And no Keralis is not a villain, his just has the same issue that Evil X had till season 5.
