<thinking>Let's approach this step-by-step:
Let's work through this methodically (CoT):

Step 1: How should we interpret the task demanding me to do?
Count the occurrence of character "s" in the word "Xerxes"

Step 2: Break down 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: Determine the positions of the letter "s".
The letter "s" appears at the 6th position in the word.

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

Step 7: Evaluate the letters we quantified.
The target letter was "s" and there we identified 1 altogether.

To conclude:
The letter "s" is found 1 instance in "Xerxes", at the 6th position.</thinking>
