Furthermore, Xerxes acts as a perfect foil to the protagonist, Godefroy de Montmirail. While Godefroy is rigid, superstitious, and bound by a code of chivalry (however flawed), Xerxes is portrayed as hedonistic, manipulative, and unburdened by honor. Their conflict escalates the film's recurring motif of "cuisine" as a plot device. The quest for the "Marronix" wine—a MacGuffin that propels the time-travel mechanics—is complicated by Xerxes’ relentless pursuit of his own desires.

For a few crucial minutes, Jacquouille finds himself swapped into the body of a Persian harem guard, and a piece of medieval French armor materializes in the throne room.

His daughter, Frénégonde, is the spitting image of Godefroy’s lost love, Béatrice. When Godefroy attempts to use the corridors, Xerxes reveals the horrifying truth: the timeline has been contaminated. If Godefroy does not repair the damage—specifically, by preventing a marriage that would create a paradox—the entire Montmirail bloodline will vanish like “dust in the wind.”
