Well, the story in TWC has Xavier as a student or ally of Ard, who turns his back on Ard (turns traitor as the character puts it) after he learns the basics of spell focus magic. There is no hint that Xavier is anything other than an normal mage, and it seems unlikely that Ard would have been fooled by or taught anything to a disguised polymorphed dragon. It just seems very out of character with the tale in TWC to me.
I do think it makes the most sense that Xavier is defeated by Raddan - their territories are side by side.
