<thinking>Let's approach this step-by-step:
Let us reason through this logically (CoT):

Step 1: What is the problem demanding me to do?
Determine the occurrence of character "x" in the text "Xerxes"

Step 2: Deconstruct the word.
X-L-R-X-E-S


Step 3: Oops, I made a mistake. The word I used above is incorrect. Let me correct that.
The correct word is "Xerxes", not "xlrxes". I apologize for the error.

Step 4: Let's continue with the correct word. Spell out the word with numbered positions:

1. X
2. E
3. R
4. X
5. E
6. S

Step 5: Identify the positions of the letter "x".
The letter "x" appears at the 1st, 4th positions in the word.

Step 6: Count the letters.
R: 1, S: 1, E: 2, X: 2

Step 7: Inspect the letters we quantified.
The focus letter was "x" and there we identified 2 overall.

Final answer:
The letter "x" is present 2 occurrences in "Xerxes", at the 1st, 4th positions.</thinking>
