Blind from birth, members of the X-Tetrad are clairvoyant in their other four senses
Because the X-Tetrad were born blind, they have no real conception of sight. They do not "see" clairvoyantly; their clairvoyant experience is limited to senses other than sight. Eventually they learned (through telepathy) to experience light and sight, by then it was too late.
The X-Tetrad members can distinguish color, but they perceive it as texture, i.e. "green is fuzzy."
Only the Famuila and a handful of others know of the X-Tetrad's blindness. The Genetic Board did not find out until they were nearly 2 years old.

Xenia once wrote a "stirring sequence of poems dedicated to those from the Empire whom the Hoisters had claimed as their own." The images included "Jef Leonov's skin dark against Umar's own tan; Rikk and his mentor Maarten Adelhardt in twin space-black Imperial Navy uniforms; Vashon and the President of Borshallan Artificial Intelligences, a wonderful short woman with a mind like one of her computers. And Sanjay, of course, always Sanjay."
Xehran uses the X-Tetrad's personal yacht, Discord's Apple.
