Character
Name
Current Name: Einvardaux "Karvel" Sailwright (ai-n-vaar-dou / car-vaal / sail-right)
Nicknames: Ein (with friends), Karvel (with Sea Wolf Roegadyn), or simply Chief / Sergeant / Chief Sergeant / etc.
Meaning: His current name he chose himself, keeping his given name a secret. Einvardaux is a compilation of words from an old Duskwight dialect, loosely translating to Lonely Guardian. Karvel is an obscure word for deckhand, a name earned during his many years working amongst the Sea Wolves. Sailwright is a name granted by the Hyur of Limsa Lominsa for his skill with cloth and wind, and his proclivity to climb the rigging and ride the mast even in storms.
Appearance
Height: 6 fulms, 11 ilms, putting him at the taller end of the normal standard deviation for Elezen males.
Weight: 175 ponz, primarily muscle due to long years at sea and in military service.
Body: Tall and lithe, Ein keeps himself in shape by meticulously performing his exercise regimen daily. He keeps himself covered from toes to hands to neck in dark colored silk at all times, and light but functional leather body armor over it when on duty.
Face/Head: His silver and black hair (more salt than pepper) is kept in a short tail at the base of his skull, leaving his ears and face free. His eyes are a bright swirling silver-grey, reminiscent of a storm at sea. His main distinguishing feature is an old, light scar running from his left cheek diagonally down past his jawbone, disappearing under his clothes.
Behavior
Voice: Ein's voice is a resonant tone. Not loud, but easily carrying across rooms, with a gravelly quality only earned from too many years in salty sea air.
Demeanor: On duty, Ein is a relentlessly efficient taskmaster. He keeps long lists of complex orders running, and none under his command ever find themselves with nothing to do for long. Off duty, he is most often seen sitting along the lesser used piers or shoreline, whittling. He does not have many friends, but those that can count themselves in that elite cadre have found him to be polite, conversational, and a very good storyteller.
Flaws: A weakness for perfection, Ein can't abide disorder for long. He will clean other people's messes if left alone long enough, as well as compulsively sweeping and dusting anything he can find. Those who have sailed with him have also noticed that he has an aversion to staying indoors for any length of time. The longer he stays under a roof, or the smaller the room to which he is confined, the more irritable and panicky he becomes.

Relationships
Family
Current: Having survived his entire Clan, Ein has only figurative family. He considers Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn to be as close as he will ever attain again. She is treated with the respect due her station when on duty, and as a younger sister when off duty.
Past:
Father: Jeaneaux Unaratienne was the brisk and taciturn head of the Unaratienne Merchant Family. He was often away on trade negotiation and acquisition missions, so was rarely home. DECEASED
Mother: Gienette Unaratienne was loving and indulgent of her children, commanding and intimidating to all others. As the wife of the absent Merchantlord, she stood for him in all Clan and Cavern affairs, disputes, negotiations, and exchanges. While at home, she insisted on providing the education for her children herself, training them in all of the ways that they could assist the Family and Clan during their lifetimes. DECEASED
Siblings:
Banoix was the eldest and first in line to succeed their father as Merchantlord. He was a dozen years older than Ein and as such they had little connection. He routinely left with their father on the shorter trading missions to further learn his place in the world, as well as to cement him with the allies and associates of the Family. DECEASED
Allielle was the eldest female sibling. Her skill and aptitude with the Aetherflow led to her preparation for assignment as a Windcaller-in-Training on one of the Trade Fleet vessels that frequented the cavern. Her training schedule would have had her leaving on a ship a few years after the collapse that killed the entire Cavern. DECEASED
Samiine was the youngest female sibling. She was ten years younger than Ein, making her the darling of the family. She would often follow him on his walks through the byways of the caverns and would giggle and cheer when he could make the water or fires dance with a brush of Aether. DECEASED
Friends
A small number of guards and sailors of the Crimson Fleet in Limsa sometimes call Ein a friend, but most keep the connection quiet in deference to the ancient Elezen.

History/Timeline
The Elezen now known as Einvardaux was born in a Duskwight Cavern whose name has been lost to time and tragedy. He was born in the 1490th year of the Sixth Astral Era to a fairly wealthy Merchantlord family. His siblings Banoix and Allielle preceeded him by 15 years and 3 years respectively. He grew up in a warm home despite his father, Jeaneaux Unaratienne, being away for months at a time on trading and negotiation missions and his mother, Gienette, being on constant call as Arbiter and Negotiator for the Cavern's complex trading politics.
