He was the husband of Pandora Lovegood, with whom he had a daughter, Luna Lovegood. He had to raise Luna alone after Pandora died in a tragical magical experiment accident.
He created The Quibbler which can be described as the anti-christ of The Daily Prophet, since it had been writing everything the Prophet was trying to conceal and more, like the Crumple-Horned Snorkack.
In 1994 him and Luna attended the Quidditch World Cup, in 1996 he published the story of Harry Potter about him seeing Lord Voldemort’s return written by Rita Skeeter, it was a free edition which helped him to gain readers, and Harry to gain supporters.

The Lovegoods used the money received from selling the story to the Prophet to travel to Sweden over the summer to search for a Crumple-Horned Snorkack. When Rufus Scimegour became Ministry of Magic, Xeno wrote an article which said that Scimegour was a vampire, however he was never able to publish it because the Ministry intervened.
In the summer of 1997 he and Luna attended Bill and Fleur’s wedding, where he didn’t miss the opportunity to show his support at Harry. There Victor Krum recognised the symbol of Lovegood’s necklace as the Grindelwald’s sign.

After the Ministry fell in the control of Lord Voldemort, Xenophilius made through the Quibbler his support towards Harry very clear, which he paid high. Luna was kidnapped by the Death Eaters, and kept at the Malfoy’s Manor, Xeno driven crazy by the fear for his daughter, when Harry came to visit him to ask him about the Deathly Hallows, tried to sell him in exchange of his daughter. After Harry, Ron, and Hermione managed to escape he was arrested and sent to Azkaban for he was accused of lying.
