History
Separated from his tribe at a very young age, Zarek found himself among other races early in his life. He traveled to Eorzea with a fellow orphan, Eyristyrn Elileynwyn, and took on a name to match his glamoured disguise as a Highlander. In recent days, he has decided to leave this facade behind, but as he has no memory of his birth name or tribe, he keeps with his familiar title.
- Zarek's past is a well kept secret, as he scarcely speaks of his previous endeavors. What is known is that he shared many of his cycles with Eyristyrn, and the two fought back-to-back against a world that tested their ability to survive as well as their moral judgement.
Personality
Though Zarek is reserved and secretive, he remains observant of those around him and serves as a good listener. Never coming off as a hostile individual, Zarek can still manage to put others at unease with strikingly neutral expressions in many social situations. He loathes sarcasm and claims to dislike indirect speech, or 'game-playing', though he has been known to occasionally participate in vague metaphors and evasive conversation.
Combat/Abilities
Zarek is a masterful martial artist. He is proficient with bladed weapons, though prefers daggers above all else. His true talent lies in evasion and disarms, while his offensive strikes are more thoughtfully planned and efficiently executed.
He also exhibits some skill in both aetheric manipulation, utilizing fire, earth and wind in combat to sometimes devastating effect without the need for a focus or staff. More often than not, he will do so as a distraction, or to enhance his physical strikes. However, he employs a trademark magickal ability to breathe fire- both by collecting the aether of a flame in his lungs and by releasing it in a brilliant stream of destructive power. Some might believe this gift to have been bestowed upon him by Hydaelyn herself, others dismiss it as mere trickery enhanced by thaumaturgy. Either way, Zarek has proven to be a deadly fighter.
