Siobhan is a staid woman with a decorous front she presents – something she’s learned after decades of operating in an Ul’dahn Merchant family. She’s tall for a Hyur, and typically dressed in finely designed (if a bit conservative) clothes. Rarely is she seen in any form of discernable armor, or armed in any fashion. She wears her golden hair up, aside from a few bangs hanging to one side of her forehead, and is often seen with a monocle over her right eye and a stack of paperwork.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Basic Info</div>===
Many people note the first thing about the woman is the dour expression that constantly adorns her face. Others may comment on how well she dresses and the poise with which she carries herself. Siobhan Milner is a woman of constant calculation. Raised in a family of wealthy merchants, Siobhan was taught from a young age how to handle herself in business, in court, and with a sense of dignity and refinement. As a woman in a merchant house, she was planned to be married off - a move that would have cut her ambitious business plans before they had a chance to grow. In a wreckless, and even violent motion, Siobhan left her fiancè and carved off on her own with the help of only a few very trusted business associates.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
Above average in height for a Hyuran woman, and certainly larger in personality. She has a way of motivating a room that she walks into. Her clothing, even when she's traveling on harsh roads, are always impeccably matched and pressed and likely of an expensive design. When she attends meetings, she shows up in flawless dresses or suits to make a statement of her success. She's attractive, and looks rather young. She wears makeup that tends to push the boundaries of societies outside Ul'dah, often wearing rouge on her cheeks and colorful pigments of eye shadows.

Her associates would describe her as a pleasant, fair, and yet incredibly demanding woman. Her enemies would describe her as ruthlessly thorough - many of their businesses crashing underneath her foot. Underneath her pleasantries is the heart of a woman who would kill to ensure that her legacy continued.

A former Brass Blade, and current emigrant to Limsa Lominsa, Bertrand Irons is a skilled surgeon and alchemist. He is, as he would say, a collector of paupers, rejects, and broken things, and tends to give himself to helping the underprivileged. Bertrand would try to feed or cure just about anyone he's come across, and there's not often he's found without a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Calm, collected, and loving, many take him on as a father figure.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Basic Info</div>===
He’s calm, cool, and collected… but self described as a bit of a degenerate. He’s often found chain smoking or hitting his flask, and generally takes a devil-may-care attitude to traditional authority and stations of honor. He’s very serious about his work, and very knowledgeable about medical sciences and technology. One would need a lot of time, or very certain interactions, to know that Bert shows compassion in two situations… he holds his former comrades in very high esteem, and will not tolerate bad speech about the service of the Brass Blades from anyone who didn’t serve. He also has a soft spot in his heart for the poor and underprivileged children of Ul’dah – having grown up poor on Pearl Lane himself.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
Fairly tall in stature, but certainly not the tallest, Bertrand is of an average to athletic build. He keeps his dark hair pulled back into a knot, a flare of uncut hair bristling underneath, otherwise shaved tight along the sides. He's a comely middle-aged man, rarely found without his glasses, and usually holding a look of either mild amusement or mild annoyance. In passing, he's calm and kind, if occasionally vulgar.

He has a fair amount of devotion to Nald’Thal, and in some ways also looks to Oschon for prayers. Overall, he considers himself to be rather irreligious but more spiritual. Sometimes describing himself as a fatalist, one might assume he holds The Weaver in high regard. In terms of his philosophy, he tends to believe that everyone’s dealt a set of cards in their life… it’s not a matter of the cards as much as it’s a matter of how you play them in the Grand Game that determines life outcomes.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Youth</div>====

Born to a family of smiths and ironworkers, his father going on to become an engineer at the Garlond Ironworks, his youth was mostly spent on his own. He lost his mother at a young age, and his father spent very little time around their small flat on Pearl Lane. Bert took care of himself, raising himself on the street, becoming wise to the schemes and machinations of life as a poor child in the Sultanate. At the age of 11, Bert enrolled himself in the Arranzeth Ossuary, and took up the arts of Thaumaturgy and preparation of funerary rites. He was not able to conjure even the simplest Thaumaturgy, quickly failed out of the Ossuary, and went back home to Pearl Lane to take care of his younger brother and sister in the absence of his father.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Present</div>====

At 20, he joined with the Brass Blades and served for 15 years – the majority of his time was spent in the Brass Blades of the Hyacinth, stationed on patrol in Southern Thanalan. Six years into service, he saw heavy action when his unit stumbled upon a den of smugglers and fell under ambush. Four of the twelve men in his unit were killed in action, and three other wounded, including his commander, Captain Jens Heirdahl of the Hyacinth. While pinned under ranged fire from archers in the hills around their position, Bert was able to move Heirdahl and stabilize him, performing field surgery based on techniques he learned in the Ossuary to handle and dress fallen soldiers for funerary rites. For their actions, Heirdahl’s unit received the Order of Valour. Bert has continued to use the medal as a bookmark since he received it. Afterwards, he received medical and alchemical training, and worked for the next nine years as a Combat Chirurgeon.

He received his brand while operating on a Brass Blade who was grievously injured in battle – he found a crystal on the man and took it along with him after feeling an incredible pull to retain the item. Over the past several years, the shard has started to, and has nearly finished, completely incorporating with him.

After resigning from the Blades at 35, Bert went on to take a job with the Gladiator’s Guild, where he worked as a staff physician for three years. In more recent days, he's taken on contracts with a Free Company, acting as a medical and alchemical arts consultant.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
Fairly tall in stature, but certainly not the tallest, Bertrand is of an average to athletic build. He keeps his dark hair pulled back into a knot, a flare of uncut hair bristling underneath, otherwise shaved tight along the sides. He's a comely middle-aged man, rarely found without his glasses, and usually holding a look of either mild amusement or mild annoyance. In passing, he's calm and kind, if occasionally vulgar.

He has a fair amount of devotion to Nald’Thal, and in some ways also looks to Oschon for prayers. Overall, he considers himself to be rather irreligious but more spiritual. Sometimes describing himself as a fatalist, one might assume he holds The Weaver in high regard. In terms of his philosophy, he tends to believe that everyone’s dealt a set of cards in their life… it’s not a matter of the cards as much as it’s a matter of how you play them in the Grand Game that determines life outcomes.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Youth</div>====

Born to a family of smiths and ironworkers, his father going on to become an engineer at the Garlond Ironworks, his youth was mostly spent on his own. He lost his mother at a young age, and his father spent very little time around their small flat on Pearl Lane. Bert took care of himself, raising himself on the street, becoming wise to the schemes and machinations of life as a poor child in the Sultanate. At the age of 11, Bert enrolled himself in the Arranzeth Ossuary, and took up the arts of Thaumaturgy and preparation of funerary rites. He was not able to conjure even the simplest Thaumaturgy, quickly failed out of the Ossuary, and went back home to Pearl Lane to take care of his younger brother and sister in the absence of his father.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Present</div>====

At 20, he joined with the Brass Blades and served for 15 years – the majority of his time was spent in the Brass Blades of the Hyacinth, stationed on patrol in Southern Thanalan. Six years into service, he saw heavy action when his unit stumbled upon a den of smugglers and fell under ambush. Four of the twelve men in his unit were killed in action, and three other wounded, including his commander, Captain Jens Heirdahl of the Hyacinth. While pinned under ranged fire from archers in the hills around their position, Bert was able to move Heirdahl and stabilize him, performing field surgery based on techniques he learned in the Ossuary to handle and dress fallen soldiers for funerary rites. For their actions, Heirdahl’s unit received the Order of Valour. Bert has continued to use the medal as a bookmark since he received it. Afterwards, he received medical and alchemical training, and worked for the next nine years as a Combat Chirurgeon.

He received his brand while operating on a Brass Blade who was grievously injured in battle – he found a crystal on the man and took it along with him after feeling an incredible pull to retain the item. Over the past several years, the shard has started to, and has nearly finished, completely incorporating with him.

After resigning from the Blades at 35, Bert went on to take a job with the Gladiator’s Guild, where he worked as a staff physician for three years. In more recent days, he's taken on contracts with a Free Company, acting as a medical and alchemical arts consultant.

<div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px;"><b>
<div style="padding:10px 25px; background: #90AB76;">◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard)</div></b>
: <font style="color:#90AB76;" size="3">■</font> "Bertrand Irons? Yeah, I hear the fella's a damn drunk. Seen him stumblin' around Ul'dah late some nights. Dunno what happened, but he sure does try drinkin' it away."
: <font style="color:#90AB76;" size="3">■</font> "He's a Physician! The man saved me, he did! My wife took me to the Sacrarium ten years ago, and they wouldn't do nothing, but he came one night and put me out for a surgery... woke up, and after a few weeks the sickness was gone. If you ever see him, tell him thank you."
: <font style="color:#90AB76;" size="3">■</font> "I heard he moved to Limsa Lominsa recently. Dunno why."

<b><div style="padding:10px 25px; background: #F37E1D;">◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)</div></b>
: <font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="3">■</font> "He fought in one of the raids on Thanalan. Forces that moved down from the North. The guy got the Medal of Valor for what he did... The Hyacinth's all did."
: <font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="3">■</font> "Sergeant Irons? I knew him in the blades... Damn fine combat surgeon. Hardly needed a Conjurer around when he was there. Called him the Sawbones, but they should've prayed to him instead of the Twins."
: <font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="3">■</font> "His sister lives in Limsa Lominsa. She's married to Storm Lieutenant... some guy who served in the Foreign Levy at Carteneau."

<b><div style="padding:10px 25px; background: #D83018;">◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard)</div></b>
: <font style="color:#D83018;" size="3">■</font> "I could lose my head for this... but you paid good Gil to hear it. His father worked for Garlond, you know... They say Irons is actually Garlean. Never seen his third eye, but maybe he's a half-breed. Didn't hear it from me, though."
: <font style="color:#D83018;" size="3">■</font> "You ever see that tattoo on his wrist? Either did I."
: <font style="color:#D83018;" size="3">■</font> "He was so much more carefree before the Calamity. He was still in the Blades then... When they were bringing the bodies home from Carteneau, I hear he had to identify and prepare his own brother. Poor man."

<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Brynhilde Wulf]] : He holds her in extremely high regards due to her position and the fervor with which she fights for the Branded.

<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[X'Septha Dhen]] : He doesn't know her that well, but he feels a connection with her. He wishes to get to know her better from a distance until he has a better read.
