<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Ryuji often does his best to come across as polite and due to his upbringing he is not lacking in terms of good manners. He is, however, prone to becoming excitable if a particular person, object location happens to pique his interest. He is capable of subtlety but he is, by nature, passionate and enthusiastic. He also has a habit of trying to see the best in everybody that he meets - within reason. He is highly defensive of those who he becomes fond of and is loyal to a fault. </div>

{{Character-stub}}

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Excessive reliance and use of alcohol.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.
::* Blemishes to his appearance.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be a very reasonable and persuasive individual - often acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

===Other===
::* Graeham has a tendency to be very formal and occasionally theatrical in his dealings with others. On the other hand, those who get to know him well enough can get an excellent view of his more playful side.
::* He can be rather vain, though never in a malicious manner. A wound to his face, however, will quite literally drive him berserk.
::* The youth is capable of being surprisingly pragmatic. He is also not afraid to cut his losses or put himself in danger if he feels it is for the greater benefit of his cause.
::* He has quite the ruthless streak if pushed too far, especially if those he cares for are put in danger.

==Relationships==
===Family===

'''[[Lydia goe Baelthar]]''' - Although far from being common knowledge it is no lie that Graeham's mother is none other than Lydia wir Baelthar; a Garlean scientist known for her ruthless streak and controversial research into the Garlean race's inability to wield magic. She once attempted to defect from Garlemald and carve out a simple life for herself within Eorzea. Yet years of abuse based on her heritage and a desire to expand her influence caused her to slink back into her old ways and she left everything behind - including her son - shortly after the Calamity. She has since hired many an agent to track down Graeham and bring him to her unharmed.

'''[[Tristain Ridgefield]]''' - A particularly cocksure sailor and ex-pirate that has fathered many a bastard during his time away from his ship. He briefly settled down in an attempt to turn over a new leaf after becoming enthralled by Lydia's seductive ways. After giving her a son, however, he soon grew bored and left one night never to return. Graeham sought to take up his father's surname to better disguise his true heritage - with the hope that one day it might serve to lure the man back to pay the lad a visit.

'''[[Lucius quo Baelthar]]''' - Brother to Lydia and uncle to Graeham. He is a decorated soldier in Garlemald's armed forces with a knack for piloting magitek. He disapproves of his sister's scheming and obsession with her research.

===Friends===

'''[[Caelum Eligar]]''' - A fellow Garlean half-breed that happened to cross paths with Graeham. The pair quickly hit it off and bonded over their shared heritage and experiences. As time passed they became lovers - and after a near death experience the pair decided to push ahead and make their relationship official within the Sanctum of the Twelve.

'''[[Reima Awen]]''' - A young woman that Graeham encountered in La Noscea. He offered to give her a tour of the immediate region. Circumstance saw them reunited once more and the pair quite quickly became good friends. Graeham sees Reima as a gentle, kind soul and he often strives to do all he can to protect her perceived innocence.

'''[[Arcian Martell]]''' - Encountered alongside Reima, Arcian was also present when Graeham offered a tour of the remnants of Nym. The pair initially hit it off fairly well...at least until Graeham's heritage was revealed. After that the pair endured an uneasy relationship; often finding themselves tense around each other. Yet as time passed - and through mutual friendships - the pair came to like and even respect one another.

'''[[Eliane Dufresne]]''' - Graeham met Lady Dufresne not long after travelling to Ishgard on diplomatic business. Sharing many interests and a mutual love of tea they quite quickly became friends - and Graeham readily offered his services to secure additional contracts for Eliane's business, 'The Bellworks'. The pair frequently meet up to discuss business and indulge in tea, cakes and the latest political affairs.

===Acquaintances===

'''[[Edda Eglantine]]''' - The pair met by sheer chance in Limsa Lominsa on two separate occasions. Although neither knows much about the other at present; Graeham considers Edda to be a woman of much refinement and grace.

===Rivals===

===Enemies===

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."
::* "The man isn't shy when it comes to making use of that silver tongue of his. I'm sure it gets him into trouble from time to time though..."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "He has a good heart but he can be pretty naive. I fear many will take advantage of that."
::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."
::* "I've seen him wearing a full suit of armour! Does he fancy himself a knight now?"

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."
::* "Every few months he heads out to that graveyard near Wineport to place a bouquet of flowers atop one of the graves."
::* "He's Garlean! Well, his mother was - his father wasn't. I don't trust him one bit - tainted blood is tainted blood."
::* "There's a darker, more cynical side to him beneath all his charm. Be cautious."
::* "He's much better at using that blade of his than he'd let you believe. Don't be fooled - it's a trick to get you to underestimate him!"

===PC Rumors===
::* "An enigmatic man and former friend. I was never able to delve into his mysteries satisfactorily. He seems pleased not to be the center of attention and is skilled at remaining unnoticed. But do take notice, look under the surface, even if he insists that there is nothing hidden there. Maybe you will find it. I never have." - [[Lilia Lia]]
::* "I'm not the type to be swayed by idealists, but his spirit is contagious, especially since it's accompanied by intelligence many seem to lack. It's nice to see his heart and optimism haven't been spoiled by the fools he had to suffer for so long." -[[Sasha Rochester]]
::* "The hyur with the blond hair who used to live here at the Mizzenmast down the hall from me... I wonder where he went? His armor was so beautiful, and I could smell the fresh fish he would bring home all the way from my room." — [[M'isha Runja]]
::* ""Although he may harbour the blood of Garlemald within him, let it be known that there is no doubt as to Ser Ridgefield's intentions, nor as to his honour. His single-minded commitment to brokering peace between Eorzea and Garlemald is testament to this." - [[Keiten Hagane]]
::* ""A kind young knight, who took it upon himself to aid my tribe in fending off aggressors who wanted its territory, and who give miqo'te foods." - [[J'rakh Tia]]
::* ""Easygoin' fella. Smiles a lot, pleasant to do business wit'. Got a feelin' he's got gil pourin' outta his arse. Don't seem fake an' fluffed up like the other diplomatic types, though. I respect that." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]
::* "Good man that one, Graeham has the making of a knight, and is decent enough with the blade. I hope he never bites it, the realm needs good men like him, especially right now." -[[Leon Greymoon]]
::* "Oh him? He definitely stands out, in what way depends on who looks at him. I for one, see him as a naive man trying to fight against the unrelenting tide of the world, too bad it is my job to keep his head above the damned water." -[[Akari Kurokawa]]
::* "Sharp as a needle, Ser Graeham. Do not allow his youth to fool you: I've found him far more thoughtful and wise than those twice his age." - [[Eliane Dufresne]]

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

For a time the youth offered his services to [[Brynhilde Wulf]] and her allies. The exact reasoning for this is unknown yet it is said that he stood at their side for a good few months. After a betrayal from within and a near death experience the half-breed saw fit to distance himself from their cause and ultimately focus his efforts almost exclusively upon his duties as a diplomat. He has since used his position to aid Lady [[Eliane Dufresne]] in regards to finding new contracts to aid her business, 'The Bellworks'.

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

For a time the youth offered his services to [[Brynhilde Wulf]] and her allies. The exact reasoning for this is unknown yet it is said that he stood at their side for a good few months. After a betrayal from within and a near death experience the half-breed saw fit to distance himself from their cause and ultimately focus his efforts almost exclusively upon his duties as a diplomat. He has since used his position to aid Lady [[Eliane Dufresne]] in regards to finding new contracts to aid her business, 'The Bellworks'.

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Excessive reliance and use of alcohol.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.
::* Blemishes to his appearance.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be a very reasonable and persuasive individual - often acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

===Other===
::* Graeham has a tendency to be very formal and occasionally theatrical in his dealings with others. On the other hand, those who get to know him well enough can get an excellent view of his more playful side.
::* He can be rather vain, though never in a malicious manner. A wound to his face, however, will quite literally drive him berserk.
::* The youth is capable of being surprisingly pragmatic. He is also not afraid to cut his losses or put himself in danger if he feels it is for the greater benefit of his cause.
::* He has quite the ruthless streak if pushed too far, especially if those he cares for are put in danger.

==Relationships==
===Family===

'''[[Lydia wir Baelthar]]''' - Although far from being common knowledge it is no lie that Graeham's mother is none other than Lydia wir Baelthar; a Garlean scientist known for her ruthless streak and controversial research into the Garlean race's inability to wield magic. She once attempted to defect from Garlemald and carve out a simple life for herself within Eorzea. Yet years of abuse based on her heritage and a desire to expand her influence caused her to slink back into her old ways and she left everything behind - including her son - shortly after the Calamity. She has since hired many an agent to track down Graeham and bring him to her unharmed.

'''[[Tristain Ridgefield]]''' - A particularly cocksure sailor and ex-pirate that has fathered many a bastard during his time away from his ship. He briefly settled down in an attempt to turn over a new leaf after becoming enthralled by Lydia's seductive ways. After giving her a son, however, he soon grew bored and left one night never to return. Graeham sought to take up his father's surname to better disguise his true heritage - with the hope that one day it might serve to lure the man back to pay the lad a visit.

'''[[Lucius wir Baelthar]]''' - Brother to Lydia and uncle to Graeham. He is a decorated soldier in Garlemald's armed forces with a knack for piloting magitek. He disapproves of his sister's scheming and obsession with her research.

===Friends===

'''[[Caelum Eligar]]''' - A fellow Garlean half-breed that happened to cross paths with Graeham. The pair quickly hit it off and bonded over their shared heritage and experiences. As time passed they became lovers - and after a near death experience the pair decided to push ahead and make their relationship official within the Sanctum of the Twelve.

'''[[Reima Awen]]''' - A young woman that Graeham encountered in La Noscea. He offered to give her a tour of the immediate region. Circumstance saw them reunited once more and the pair quite quickly became good friends. Graeham sees Reima as a gentle, kind soul and he often strives to do all he can to protect her perceived innocence.

'''[[Arcian Martell]]''' - Encountered alongside Reima, Arcian was also present when Graeham offered a tour of the remnants of Nym. The pair initially hit it off fairly well...at least until Graeham's heritage was revealed. After that the pair endured an uneasy relationship; often finding themselves tense around each other. Yet as time passed - and through mutual friendships - the pair came to like and even respect one another.

'''[[Eliane Dufresne]]''' - Graeham met Lady Dufresne not long after travelling to Ishgard on diplomatic business. Sharing many interests and a mutual love of tea they quite quickly became friends - and Graeham readily offered his services to secure additional contracts for Eliane's business, 'The Bellworks'. The pair frequently meet up to discuss business and indulge in tea, cakes and the latest political affairs.

===Acquaintances===

'''[[Edda Eglantine]]''' - The pair met by sheer chance in Limsa Lominsa on two separate occasions. Although neither knows much about the other at present; Graeham considers Edda to be a woman of much refinement and grace.

===Rivals===

===Enemies===

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."
::* "The man isn't shy when it comes to making use of that silver tongue of his. I'm sure it gets him into trouble from time to time though..."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "He has a good heart but he can be pretty naive. I fear many will take advantage of that."
::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."
::* "I've seen him wearing a full suit of armour! Does he fancy himself a knight now?"

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."
::* "Every few months he heads out to that graveyard near Wineport to place a bouquet of flowers atop one of the graves."
::* "He's Garlean! Well, his mother was - his father wasn't. I don't trust him one bit - tainted blood is tainted blood."
::* "There's a darker, more cynical side to him beneath all his charm. Be cautious."
::* "He's much better at using that blade of his than he'd let you believe. Don't be fooled - it's a trick to get you to underestimate him!"

===PC Rumors===
::* "An enigmatic man and former friend. I was never able to delve into his mysteries satisfactorily. He seems pleased not to be the center of attention and is skilled at remaining unnoticed. But do take notice, look under the surface, even if he insists that there is nothing hidden there. Maybe you will find it. I never have." - [[Lilia Lia]]
::* "I'm not the type to be swayed by idealists, but his spirit is contagious, especially since it's accompanied by intelligence many seem to lack. It's nice to see his heart and optimism haven't been spoiled by the fools he had to suffer for so long." -[[Sasha Rochester]]
::* "The hyur with the blond hair who used to live here at the Mizzenmast down the hall from me... I wonder where he went? His armor was so beautiful, and I could smell the fresh fish he would bring home all the way from my room." — [[M'isha Runja]]
::* ""Although he may harbour the blood of Garlemald within him, let it be known that there is no doubt as to Ser Ridgefield's intentions, nor as to his honour. His single-minded commitment to brokering peace between Eorzea and Garlemald is testament to this." - [[Keiten Hagane]]
::* ""A kind young knight, who took it upon himself to aid my tribe in fending off aggressors who wanted its territory, and who give miqo'te foods." - [[J'rakh Tia]]
::* ""Easygoin' fella. Smiles a lot, pleasant to do business wit'. Got a feelin' he's got gil pourin' outta his arse. Don't seem fake an' fluffed up like the other diplomatic types, though. I respect that." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]

==Relationships==
===Family===

'''[[Lydia wir Baelthar]]''' - Although far from being common knowledge it is no lie that Graeham's mother is none other than Lydia wir Baelthar; a Garlean scientist known for her ruthless streak and controversial research into the Garlean race's inability to wield magic. She once attempted to defect from Garlemald and carve out a simple life for herself within Eorzea. Yet years of abuse based on her heritage and a desire to expand her influence caused her to slink back into her old ways and she left everything behind - including her son - shortly after the Calamity. She has since hired many an agent to track down Graeham and bring him to her unharmed.

'''[[Tristain Ridgefield]]''' - A particularly cocksure sailor and ex-pirate that has fathered many a bastard during his time away from his ship. He briefly settled down in an attempt to turn over a new leaf after becoming enthralled by Lydia's seductive ways. After giving her a son, however, he soon grew bored and left one night never to return. Graeham sought to take up his father's surname to better disguise his true heritage - with the hope that one day it might serve to lure the man back to pay the lad a visit.

'''[[Lucius wir Baelthar]]''' - Brother to Lydia and uncle to Graeham. He is a decorated soldier in Garlemald's armed forces with a knack for piloting magitek. He disapproves of his sister's scheming and obsession with her research.

===Friends===

'''[[Caelum Eligar]]''' - A fellow Garlean half-breed that happened to cross paths with Graeham. The pair quickly hit it off and bonded over their shared heritage and experiences. As time passed they became lovers - and after a near death experience the pair decided to push ahead and make their relationship official within the Sanctum of the Twelve.

'''[[Reima Awen]]''' - A young woman that Graeham encountered in La Noscea. He offered to give her a tour of the immediate region. Circumstance saw them reunited once more and the pair quite quickly became good friends. Graeham sees Reima as a gentle, kind soul and he often strives to do all he can to protect her perceived innocence.

'''[[Arcian Martell]]''' - Encountered alongside Reima, Arcian was also present when Graeham offered a tour of the remnants of Nym. The pair initially hit it off fairly well...at least until Graeham's heritage was revealed. After that the pair endured an uneasy relationship; often finding themselves tense around each other. Yet as time passed - and through mutual friendships - the pair came to like and even respect one another.

'''[[Eliane Dufresne]]''' - Graeham met Lady Dufresne not long after travelling to Ishgard on diplomatic business. Sharing many interests and a mutual love of tea they quite quickly became friends - and Graeham readily offered his services to secure additional contracts for Eliane's business, 'The Bellworks'. The pair frequently meet up to discuss business and indulge in tea, cakes and the latest political affairs.

===Acquaintances===

'''[[Edda Eglantine]]''' - The pair met by sheer chance in Limsa Lominsa on two separate occasions. Although neither knows much about the other at present; Graeham considers Edda to be a woman of much refinement and grace.

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."
::* "The man isn't shy when it comes to making use of that silver tongue of his. I'm sure it gets him into trouble from time to time though..."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "He has a good heart but he can be pretty naive. I fear many will take advantage of that."
::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."
::* "I've seen him wearing a full suit of armour! Does he fancy himself a knight now?"

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."
::* "Every few months he heads out to that graveyard near Wineport to place a bouquet of flowers atop one of the graves."
::* "He's Garlean! Well, his mother was - his father wasn't. I don't trust him one bit - tainted blood is tainted blood."
::* "There's a darker, more cynical side to him beneath all his charm. Be cautious."
::* "He's much better at using that blade of his than he'd let you believe. Don't be fooled - it's a trick to get you to underestimate him!"

===PC Rumors===
::* "An enigmatic man and former friend. I was never able to delve into his mysteries satisfactorily. He seems pleased not to be the center of attention and is skilled at remaining unnoticed. But do take notice, look under the surface, even if he insists that there is nothing hidden there. Maybe you will find it. I never have." - [[Lilia Lia]]
::* "I'm not the type to be swayed by idealists, but his spirit is contagious, especially since it's accompanied by intelligence many seem to lack. It's nice to see his heart and optimism haven't been spoiled by the fools he had to suffer for so long." -[[Sasha Rochester]]
::* "The hyur with the blond hair who used to live here at the Mizzenmast down the hall from me... I wonder where he went? His armor was so beautiful, and I could smell the fresh fish he would bring home all the way from my room." — [[M'isha Runja]]
::* ""Although he may harbour the blood of Garlemald within him, let it be known that there is no doubt as to Ser Ridgefield's intentions, nor as to his honour. His single-minded commitment to brokering peace between Eorzea and Garlemald is testament to this." - [[Keiten Hagane]]
::* ""A kind young knight, who took it upon himself to aid my tribe in fending off aggressors who wanted its territory, and who give miqo'te foods." - [[J'rakh Tia]]
::* ""Easygoin' fella. Smiles a lot, pleasant to do business wit'. Got a feelin' he's got gil pourin' outta his arse. Don't seem fake an' fluffed up like the other diplomatic types, though. I respect that." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]
::* "Good man that one, Graeham has the making of a knight, and is decent enough with the blade. I hope he never bites it, the realm needs good men like him, especially right now." -[[Leon Greymoon]]
::* "Oh him? He definitely stands out, in what way depends on who looks at him. I for one, see him as a naive man trying to fight against the unrelenting tide of the world, too bad it is my job to keep his head above the damned water." -[[Akari Kurokawa]]
::* "Sharp as a needle, Ser Graeham. Do not allow his youth to fool you: I've found him far more thoughtful and wise than those twice his age." - [[Eliane Dufresne]]

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

For a time the youth offered his services to [[Brynhilde Wulf]] and her allies. The exact reasoning for this is unknown yet it is said that he stood at their side for a good few months. After a betrayal from within and a near death experience the half-breed saw fit to distance himself from their cause and ultimately focus his efforts almost exclusively upon his duties as a diplomat. He has since used his position to aid Lady [[Eliane Dufresne]] in regards to finding new contracts to aid her business, 'The Bellworks'.

''"I'm not anyone."''

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

A quiet, drab, and unobtrusive Midlander. No one of note. Victoria is possibly the least likely person in Eorzea to stand out in a crowd, and from the manner in which she attempts to blend into the background, she seems to prefer it that way. By all appearances, she seems to be nothing more than yet another lower-class tradesman. However, any amount of digging into her background past the level of 'cursory' unearths a few questions.

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

Imposing is not a word that could be applied to Victoria without a hearty, scornful guffaw immediately following. She stands at about five and a half fulms in height, all slender limbs, slim hips, and narrow shoulders. The word 'unhealthy' seems to click into place around her like a set of manacles tightened round a wrist. Her skin is the same sickly-white shade as a fish's pallid underbelly, and her washed-out grey eyes are perpetually underscored by bruise-colored smudges born of many stressed and sleepless nights; what nails she has are bitten ragged nearly down to the quick. Her hair is ash blonde and cropped neatly short.

Victoria's features have enough definition to indicate that she's no longer a child, but the soft angles of her face give away her relative youth despite the marks indicating that she's been through some form of accident or ordeal. Her face, hands, and upper body are spattered with what seem to be shrapnel scars. One in particular streaks across her nose, another nicks her upper lip, yet another splits her left eyebrow a third of the way from its end, and the top of her left ear is ragged and tattered.

She dresses plainly; neither her position nor her meager income allow her to indulge in vanity. Despite her lack of means, she manages to keep herself neat and presentable, if rather conservatively attired. Even in the Thanalan heat, she seemingly never wears anything that lacks long sleeves or a high collar.

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #7d8a78;font-size:16px;color:#eddfe2;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''P E R S O N A L I T Y'''</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Nearly every facet of Edda's personality is a finely crafted front. Raised by her father to be a perfect - but never accessible - lady, she is vastly out of touch with her own emotions, and refuses to share the worst of her thoughts and fears with anyone, believing them to be of little importance to anyone else, and a detriment to what she is meant to be. As a woman who places her duty before all else, Edda comes across as a very distant and lonely person.
</div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Despite this, Edda maintains a very welcoming and pleasant bearing, and typically wears a smile on her face. She is both patient and kind, and always willing to lend an ear or a hand whenever asked. While she struggles to fight against her natural coldness and shyness, she enjoys conversing with people from different walks of life, and treats all those she meets with the manners that have been drilled into her. This of course, can be a double edged sword. Edda is quick to change her opinion of those who display an abundant lack of manners or any sort of adverse behavior, and will be to cold to such individuals, or even outright hostile. She is heavily territorial when it comes to her employees or those under her association, even when it comes to those she is close to. Her words can become exceedingly harsh when she is provoked, and though it takes much to get her there, it is very much like the flip of a switch. </div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">More often than not, Edda gives the first impression of being a kind person, but frigid and easily forgotten. Out of fear for herself, as well as a complete inability to do so even if she wanted, her true self lies buried beneath several layers of fragile facades. However, at her core lies an affectionate and gentle girl that cannot be honest with herself, or others.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Always kept prim and proper by doting servants and her own practiced touch, Edda maintains a constant appearance of nobility. She is slightly tall for a Midlander, which is only accentuated by her impeccable posture. Despite her slim build, she is unusually curvaceous, a point to which she does not enjoy bringing attention, but is still generally oblivious to. Her facial structure is sharp and regal, offset by gentle green eyes and a typically placid expression. With pale skin and light blonde hair, Edda overall has the appearance of a fragile doll, and one not at all used to the struggles and dangers of the common citizen. This is further enhanced by her persistently clean and well-groomed presentation. Her most defining feature (depending on what she is currently wearing, anyway) is a small birthmark under her right eye, which she frequently forgets about. While she is typically described as beautiful in an objective sense, she is by no means alluring, her naturally frigid aura cancelling out whatever benefits her looks may give her.
</div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">As expected of one in her position, Edda has a great love of well-tailored and feminine clothes. She generally prefers skirts and dresses - lace, frills, ribbons, silks; the more of them, the better. Preferring lighter colors such as pinks, greens and whites, all of her clothing seems unnaturally clean at all times, as if dirt and grime never touch her. However, recently Edda has taken to wearing more ergonomic designs. They are still made out of the finest materials, but she stands out less, and appears more approachable. She will wear anything at least once, and holds no reservations about showing off her body - so long as no attention is called to this fact. Self-consciousness comes quick to her, and any untoward comments about her appearance will more often than not cause her to flee.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">To say Edda is not suited for combat would be a gross understatement. Despite being trained in a number of different fighting styles, almost all of them were for show only, her knowledge having no application in an actual fight. Though she does not fear combat in and of itself, she does fear being the target of physical harm. With a strong affinity for magick, Edda has a strong desire to aid her allies when she can, however, she sadly has all the combat savvy of a level 3 chigoe..</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Both Edda and her brother were born with an innate talent for conjury, a trait that has been prevalent in the family for some generations. She received rather slipshod training from an arcanist in her earlier years, and therefor possesses little knowledge of the art in both practice and theory. Despite a monstrous amount of latent talent with the art, she is currently quite mediocre at it, starting from the beginning in order to unlearn her poor habits.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Edda has only received light training in thaumaturgy, to the point where she is only able to produce the weakest possible manifestations of common spells. However, she enjoys and is interested in studying it. As of now she has no time or means to, and is further held back by her father's distaste of thaumaturgy due to its association with Ul'dah.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Taught more as a physical activity for the sake of keeping in shape than a means to defend herself, Edda is perfectly average at this. While her form is fluid and graceful, she lacks the strength and agility needed to make actual use of this skill. At the very least, she knows which end is the pointy one.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">With the limp noodles she calls arms, Edda is none too good at wielding a bow.

Her aim and capability is good enough, but she tires easily from it, and finds her body not at all suited for it.</div></div>

Her plethora of abilities and know-how is due to her rigid and extensive education, given to her with the hopes that she would revered and respected, and a prime candidate for wealth and marriage.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">The primary trade of the Eglantine family, Edda is a skilled and deft seamstress, having started her training at a very young age. Her education in the art extended to both design, the history of fashion, as well as being able to identify cloth from touch alone. Her main area of expertise is working with rare and expensive materials, but she struggles with common cloth and creating clothing more oriented for wear and tear.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">The secondary, and rather secret trade skill of her family. It was through her training in enchanting that Edda became quite skilled in aether manipulation. However, the why's and how's of this skill are kept a closely-guarded secret - it is not something she is wont to talk about, let alone mention. The family's employ of this art is not well-known.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Any proper lady worth her salt has an inclination towards music. For the sake of appearing more desirable, then later due to her own passion, Edda trained extensively in the piano. She is also adept at the violin, flute, and harp, though not nearly as much as she is with the piano. Her father expects her to perform rigidly for guests, but Edda is liable to always play from the heart, which is perhaps the only way she is able to communicate her true feelings without saying anything.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">When at home or in similar social settings, Edda's natural rigidity increases tenfold. She appreciates good manners, in part due to her extended exposure to them, and because she truly believes they are important. Nearly every action she takes and word she speaks is calculated. Recently she has been attempting to shed this habit with those she is close to, with varying results.</div></div>

While she is loathe to admit it, she depends heavily on her father for enabling her lavish lifestyle and her current freedom.

As he was allowed to pursue his inherent gift for conjury in Gridania, Edda encouraged her brother to use his skills for good and led his aid to the defense against Garlemald.

His drive to do good and genial treatment of everyone, even those who do not necessarily deserve it, are somewhat of an inspiration. His perplexity towards some things is something with which Edda can relate. She finds him to be a pure individual, possessing a heart that could easily be colored. As such, she is somewhat hesitant to speak to him with great honesty.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">Somewhat of an enigma. The lalafell is an honest but nervous-seeming man, almost cowardly at times. His rivalry with Memeli and inability to handle hers and Virara's antics are both highly amusing and curious. When alone, the man shows considerable wisdom and empathy, leading Edda to believe something much deeper lies beyond his fussy facade. She enjoys teasing him, even doing so unwittingly at times.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">Edda's interactions with this woman have been short and sparse. She holds the paladin in high esteem, however, citing both her friendship with Jancis, as well as her no-nonsense and virtuous demeanor. It was clear Edda trusted the woman far more than she could ever hope to let on, and she felt helpless at seeing the woman so heartbroken over the disappearance of her lover. Then, as fate would have it, Edda found her lover was none other than the same man her father had chosen for her. While her opinion of Coatleque did not suffer, it placed great strain on Edda to interact with the woman, and she eventually revealed the truth to her in the worst way ever. Now, Edda is sure Crofte holds nothing but hate towards her, and would love to avoid the paladin and her scorn for as long as she is able to. The guilt she feels from the current affair is immense, and only furthers her own beliefs that she is a monster.

In more recent events, whether through manipulation or sheer misunderstanding, Edda's opinion of the woman has severely deteriorated. While she is aware that she is the enemy in the paladin's eyes, Edda cares little for passive aggressive lies and commentary - especially from one who should know better. Though Edda does not see her has a threat, she does not trust her nor James to discard their passion for one another, and is ever ready to accept the consequences of such.</div>

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A rogue-like but... surprisingly well-spoken man Edda encountered at The Drowning Wench. His playful dodging of questions and teasing managed to aggravate and intrigue Edda all in one go. Upon further investigation into his history with the Maelstrom, she discovered the man had his fingers in several shady pies. Curious as to how the man reacted to veiled threats and warnings, she spoke at length with him, and gave him a morsel of helpful information. She may yet have plans for him...</div>

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">Edda has a long history with Franz. Being the first Garlean she ever encountered, he was quickly subjected to her extreme hate for the country, and she took out her ire and guilt on the man. Despite finding him generally distasteful, as well as potentially dangerous, Edda eventually softened her disposition to the man after being... subjected to several acts of kindness from him. Though they stand on rocky ground now, she never once forgotten the high esteem she once held him in, and has recently allowed her buried feelings towards him color her interactions with him. She is fully aware of the mask he wears and the lies he lives, and therefore does not trust him one whit. Still, she has entrusted him with an important item and a sensitive task, one she is confident he will be able to fulfill.</div>

As a favor to Roen, following the disappearance of his former master Jameson Taeros, she was quick to let Gideon know of her intentions to hire him as a valet. She did not press him, allowing him instead to make his own choice. Despite some interference from the scumbag merchant Banquo, Gideon eventually agreed to work for her. She has recently distanced herself from him due to her current situation, but is still fiercely protective of him, and wishes he would take better care of himself above all else. Recently, she has become aware of the rather one-sided nature of their relationship. Though she feels great guilt in pushing him away, she does not want to involve him in something he will come to regret.</div>

Now that he has returned to the realm of the living, Edda has been staying with him in Ishgard.

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A kind woman Edda met at the Grindstone during her very first stay in Ul'dah. Though their interactions had been brief, she found the woman's words and actions to be both mysterious and soothing. Jancis has aided Edda numerous times in various different ways, and for that she is sincerely grateful. The woman's aid in introducing her to proper conjury training has been invaluable, even so much as saving her life. While she rarely admits such things, Edda trusts her implicitly. However, she finds Jancis' curious way of speaking and outlook on life to be merely a single aspect to the woman, and still wishes to know more about her.</div>

Too caring for his own good, perhaps. She will never forget his aid during the incident with the Crows, as well as the unabashed concern and empathy he held for her and others during their subsequent meetings. Funnily enough, she had met Kage a few times during his brief stint as a miqo'te, but was never made aware of his name during those times. As such, she has not yet made the connection that they are one and the same.</div>

Assuming that and his prevalent curiosity are due in part to the solitary nature of Moonkeeper males, Edda is more than happy to have a chance to speak with him, as they both stand to learn much from each other. Their original meeting was planned, as Kahn'a was given an assignment to watch over her during her forays to Ul'dah. It was a tenuous assignment at best, and one Edda is not sure still carries weight. Even then, she will probably still hold him to it.</div>

Empathizing with his unfamiliarity with Eorzea, as well as out of partial fear for her life, Edda agreed to guide the man to Ishgard (despite not being a prime qualifier for such a task). Though she found his actions and personality distasteful at first, Khadai managed to grow on her due to his blunt nature. While he has freely agreed to fight for her in exchange for her aid, Edda cannot help but feel some measure of guilt for binding him to her, as she is quite certain he wants little to do with her.</div>

Always kind and wearing a smile, Leanne is a true free spirit - the kind that Edda both aspires to be, and is slightly envious of. Leanne has come to her aid on numerous occasions in the past. Considering that, coupled with her ever cheerful disposition, the girl is one Edda is both extremely careful around, and fiercely defensive of. There is little she would not do for her, should she ask. Recently however, Edda has felt on edge with her...</div>

From being charmed into buying her a stack of rolanberry cheesecakes, to witnessing her duel with a rather irate ex-boyfriend, there is never a dull moment with Memeli. Her antics with Chachanji and Virara are particularly enjoyable to watch. The girl is quick to get herself into trouble, and though Edda acts begrudging when she aids her, or lectures her, she secretly enjoys it.</div>

She sought him out for information on Taeros' disappearance, and found his thoughts on the matter both intriguing and unsound. His actions as a man of the law landed him somewhere in the middle of her opinion, as someone who is both driven, but untrustworthy. Now that Osric is aware of her current entanglement with the man he tried kill, Edda is not quite sure how to think of it.

Though the two have not shared much with each other concerning their pasts, it is apparent there are some striking similarities between them, and in truth Edda thinks more highly of the woman than she will ever let on. She was more than happy to accept Roen's request of looking after the valet, Gideon, and went to (failed) lengths to see to her well-being when she was imprisoned by Taeros. Now that she has encountered the woman once more in Ishgard in two bizarre situations, Edda does not expect be seen favorably by her any longer.</div>

To her surprise, she found Sasha quite free and happy living within Ul'dah, though not without troubles. Though her interactions with the woman have been brief, the two share a similar history that makes it far easier for Edda to share her thoughts on certain matters. Sasha is an enigma, however, and despite their similarities, there are rather stark differences as well.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Nearly every facet of Edda's personality is a finely crafted front. Raised by her father to be a perfect - but never accessible - lady, she is vastly out of touch with her own emotions, and refuses to share the worst of her thoughts and fears with anyone, believing them to be of little importance to anyone else, and a detriment to what she is meant to be. As a woman who places her duty before all else, Edda comes across as a very distant and lonely person.
</div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Despite this, Edda maintains a very welcoming and pleasant bearing, and typically wears a smile on her face. She is both patient and kind, and always willing to lend an ear or a hand whenever asked. While she struggles to fight against her natural coldness and shyness, she enjoys conversing with people from different walks of life, and treats all those she meets with the manners that have been drilled into her. This of course, can be a double edged sword. Edda is quick to change her opinion of those who display an abundant lack of manners or any sort of adverse behavior, and will be to cold to such individuals, or even outright hostile. She is heavily territorial when it comes to her employees or those under her association, even when it comes to those she is close to. Her words can become exceedingly harsh when she is provoked, and though it takes much to get her there, it is very much like the flip of a switch. </div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">More often than not, Edda gives the first impression of being a kind person, but frigid and easily forgotten. Out of fear for herself, as well as a complete inability to do so even if she wanted, her true self lies buried beneath several layers of fragile facades. However, at her core lies an affectionate and gentle girl that cannot be honest with herself, or others.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Always kept prim and proper by doting servants and her own practiced touch, Edda maintains a constant appearance of nobility. She is slightly tall for a Midlander, which is only accentuated by her impeccable posture. Despite her slim build, she is unusually curvaceous, a point to which she does not enjoy bringing attention, but is still generally oblivious to. Her facial structure is sharp and regal, offset by gentle green eyes and a typically placid expression. With pale skin and light blonde hair, Edda overall has the appearance of a fragile doll, and one not at all used to the struggles and dangers of the common citizen. This is further enhanced by her persistently clean and well-groomed presentation. Her most defining feature (depending on what she is currently wearing, anyway) is a small birthmark under her right eye, which she frequently forgets about. While she is typically described as beautiful in an objective sense, she is by no means alluring, her naturally frigid aura cancelling out whatever benefits her looks may give her.
</div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">As expected of one in her position, Edda has a great love of well-tailored and feminine clothes. She generally prefers skirts and dresses - lace, frills, ribbons, silks; the more of them, the better. Preferring lighter colors such as pinks, greens and whites, all of her clothing seems unnaturally clean at all times, as if dirt and grime never touch her. However, recently Edda has taken to wearing more ergonomic designs. They are still made out of the finest materials, but she stands out less, and appears more approachable. She will wear anything at least once, and holds no reservations about showing off her body - so long as no attention is called to this fact. Self-consciousness comes quick to her, and any untoward comments about her appearance will more often than not cause her to flee.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">To say Edda is not suited for combat would be a gross understatement. Despite being trained in a number of different fighting styles, almost all of them were for show only, her knowledge having no application in an actual fight. Though she does not fear combat in and of itself, she does fear being the target of physical harm. With a strong affinity for magick, Edda has a strong desire to aid her allies when she can, however, she sadly has all the combat savvy of a level 3 chigoe..</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Both Edda and her brother were born with an innate talent for conjury, a trait that has been prevalent in the family for some generations. She received rather slipshod training from an arcanist in her earlier years, and therefor possesses little knowledge of the art in both practice and theory. Despite a monstrous amount of latent talent with the art, she is currently quite mediocre at it, starting from the beginning in order to unlearn her poor habits.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Edda has only received light training in thaumaturgy, to the point where she is only able to produce the weakest possible manifestations of common spells. However, she enjoys and is interested in studying it. As of now she has no time or means to, and is further held back by her father's distaste of thaumaturgy due to its association with Ul'dah.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Taught more as a physical activity for the sake of keeping in shape than a means to defend herself, Edda is perfectly average at this. While her form is fluid and graceful, she lacks the strength and agility needed to make actual use of this skill. At the very least, she knows which end is the pointy one.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">With the limp noodles she calls arms, Edda is none too good at wielding a bow. The art was drilled in to her at a young age for the sake of showmanship and hunting for sport. Her aim and capability is good enough, but she tires easily from it, and finds her body not at all suited for it.</div></div>

Her plethora of abilities and know-how is due to her rigid and extensive education, given to her with the hopes that she would revered and respected, and a prime candidate for wealth and marriage.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">The primary trade of the Eglantine family, Edda is a skilled and deft seamstress, having started her training at a very young age. Her education in the art extended to both design, the history of fashion, as well as being able to identify cloth from touch alone. Her main area of expertise is working with rare and expensive materials, but she struggles with common cloth and creating clothing more oriented for wear and tear.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">The secondary, and rather secret trade skill of her family. It was through her training in enchanting that Edda became quite skilled in aether manipulation. However, the why's and how's of this skill are kept a closely-guarded secret - it is not something she is wont to talk about, let alone mention. The family's employ of this art is not well-known.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Any proper lady worth her salt has an inclination towards music. For the sake of appearing more desirable, then later due to her own passion, Edda trained extensively in the piano. She is also adept at the violin, flute, and harp, though not nearly as much as she is with the piano. Her father expects her to perform rigidly for guests, but Edda is liable to always play from the heart, which is perhaps the only way she is able to communicate her true feelings without saying anything.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">When at home or in similar social settings, Edda's natural rigidity increases tenfold. She appreciates good manners, in part due to her extended exposure to them, and because she truly believes they are important. Nearly every action she takes and word she speaks is calculated. Recently she has been attempting to shed this habit with those she is close to, with varying results.</div></div>

While she is loathe to admit it, she depends heavily on her father for enabling her lavish lifestyle and her current freedom.

As he was allowed to pursue his inherent gift for conjury in Gridania, Edda encouraged her brother to use his skills for good and led his aid to the defense against Garlemald.

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A rather sudden acquaintance of Edda's, the Au Ra woman seems to have taken an interest in her, though to what end remains to be seen. Edda enjoys her company, finding her to be both exotic and kind, her aura both warm and nurturing. The two have spoken many times recently, more than Edda is used to than with anyone else. She considers Ashmira to be a friend, and trusts her more than she lets on. There is something curious abut the woman, though Edda is not quite sure what that is.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">Far and away the master from good first impressions, Edda's opinion of the man was instantly soured at their very first meeting. His genius plan of action of goading Edda into handing Gideon North over to Banquo's employ was a poor one. Edda finds his attempt at mystery both shady and malicious. It does leave her with a lingering sense of interest when she converses with the man, a point that upsets her, as she knows that is most likely his intention. She does not trust the man farther than she can throw him, and takes great care in letting him know this at every opportunity.</div>

His drive to do good and genial treatment of everyone, even those who do not necessarily deserve it, are somewhat of an inspiration. His perplexity towards some things is something with which Edda can relate. She finds him to be a pure individual, possessing a heart that could easily be colored. As such, she is somewhat hesitant to speak to him with great honesty.</div>

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">Somewhat of an enigma. The lalafell is an honest but nervous-seeming man, almost cowardly at times. His rivalry with Memeli and inability to handle hers and Virara's antics are both highly amusing and curious. When alone, the man shows considerable wisdom and empathy, leading Edda to believe something much deeper lies beyond his fussy facade. She enjoys teasing him, even doing so unwittingly at times.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">Edda's interactions with this woman have been short and sparse. She holds the paladin in high esteem, however, citing both her friendship with Jancis, as well as her no-nonsense and virtuous demeanor. It was clear Edda trusted the woman far more than she could ever hope to let on, and she felt helpless at seeing the woman so heartbroken over the disappearance of her lover. Then, as fate would have it, Edda found her lover was none other than the same man her father had chosen for her. While her opinion of Coatleque did not suffer, it placed great strain on Edda to interact with the woman, and she eventually revealed the truth to her in the worst way ever. Now, Edda is sure Crofte holds nothing but hate towards her, and would love to avoid the paladin and her scorn for as long as she is able to. The guilt she feels from the current affair is immense, and only furthers her own beliefs that she is a monster.

In more recent events, whether through manipulation or sheer misunderstanding, Edda's opinion of the woman has severely deteriorated. While she is aware that she is the enemy in the paladin's eyes, Edda cares little for passive aggressive lies and commentary - especially from one who should know better. Though Edda does not see her has a threat, she does not trust her nor James to discard their passion for one another, and is ever ready to accept the consequences of such.</div>

His playful dodging of questions and teasing managed to aggravate and intrigue Edda all in one go. Upon further investigation into his history with the Maelstrom, she discovered the man had his fingers in several shady pies. Curious as to how the man reacted to veiled threats and warnings, she spoke at length with him, and gave him a morsel of helpful information. She may yet have plans for him...</div>

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">Edda has a long history with Franz. Being the first Garlean she ever encountered, he was quickly subjected to her extreme hate for the country, and she took out her ire and guilt on the man. Despite finding him generally distasteful, as well as potentially dangerous, Edda eventually softened her disposition to the man after being... subjected to several acts of kindness from him. Though they stand on rocky ground now, she never once forgotten the high esteem she once held him in, and has recently allowed her buried feelings towards him color her interactions with him. She is fully aware of the mask he wears and the lies he lives, and therefore does not trust him one whit. Still, she has entrusted him with an important item and a sensitive task, one she is confident he will be able to fulfill.</div>

As a favor to Roen, following the disappearance of his former master Jameson Taeros, she was quick to let Gideon know of her intentions to hire him as a valet. She did not press him, allowing him instead to make his own choice. Despite some interference from the scumbag merchant Banquo, Gideon eventually agreed to work for her. She has recently distanced herself from him due to her current situation, but is still fiercely protective of him, and wishes he would take better care of himself above all else. Recently, she has become aware of the rather one-sided nature of their relationship. Though she feels great guilt in pushing him away, she does not want to involve him in something he will come to regret.</div>

Now that he has returned to the realm of the living, Edda has been staying with him in Ishgard.

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A kind woman Edda met at the Grindstone during her very first stay in Ul'dah. Though their interactions had been brief, she found the woman's words and actions to be both mysterious and soothing. Jancis has aided Edda numerous times in various different ways, and for that she is sincerely grateful. The woman's aid in introducing her to proper conjury training has been invaluable, even so much as saving her life. While she rarely admits such things, Edda trusts her implicitly. However, she finds Jancis' curious way of speaking and outlook on life to be merely a single aspect to the woman, and still wishes to know more about her.</div>

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">Despite the briefest of interactions with the man, Edda has been incredibly impressed by the lalafell's immense courage and caring heart. Too caring for his own good, perhaps. She will never forget his aid during the incident with the Crows, as well as the unabashed concern and empathy he held for her and others during their subsequent meetings. Funnily enough, she had met Kage a few times during his brief stint as a miqo'te, but was never made aware of his name during those times. As such, she has not yet made the connection that they are one and the same.</div>

|-
| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A surefire enigma. His way of speaking is strange, being both straightforward and nearly metaphorical at times. Assuming that and his prevalent curiosity are due in part to the solitary nature of Moonkeeper males, Edda is more than happy to have a chance to speak with him, as they both stand to learn much from each other. Their original meeting was planned, as Kahn'a was given an assignment to watch over her during her forays to Ul'dah. It was a tenuous assignment at best, and one Edda is not sure still carries weight. Even then, she will probably still hold him to it.</div>

Though she found his actions and personality distasteful at first, Khadai managed to grow on her due to his blunt nature. While he has freely agreed to fight for her in exchange for her aid, Edda cannot help but feel some measure of guilt for binding him to her, as she is quite certain he wants little to do with her.</div>

Always kind and wearing a smile, Leanne is a true free spirit - the kind that Edda both aspires to be, and is slightly envious of. Leanne has come to her aid on numerous occasions in the past. Considering that, coupled with her ever cheerful disposition, the girl is one Edda is both extremely careful around, and fiercely defensive of. There is little she would not do for her, should she ask. Recently however, Edda has felt on edge with her...</div>

From being charmed into buying her a stack of rolanberry cheesecakes, to witnessing her duel with a rather irate ex-boyfriend, there is never a dull moment with Memeli. Her antics with Chachanji and Virara are particularly enjoyable to watch.

She sought him out for information on Taeros' disappearance, and found his thoughts on the matter both intriguing and unsound. His actions as a man of the law landed him somewhere in the middle of her opinion, as someone who is both driven, but untrustworthy. Now that Osric is aware of her current entanglement with the man he tried kill, Edda is not quite sure how to think of it.

Though the two have not shared much with each other concerning their pasts, it is apparent there are some striking similarities between them, and in truth Edda thinks more highly of the woman than she will ever let on. She was more than happy to accept Roen's request of looking after the valet, Gideon, and went to (failed) lengths to see to her well-being when she was imprisoned by Taeros. Now that she has encountered the woman once more in Ishgard in two bizarre situations, Edda does not expect be seen favorably by her any longer.</div>

Though her interactions with the woman have been brief, the two share a similar history that makes it far easier for Edda to share her thoughts on certain matters.

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Excessive reliance and use of alcohol.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.
::* Blemishes to his appearance.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be a very reasonable and persuasive individual - often acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

===Other===
::* Graeham has a tendency to be very formal and occasionally theatrical in his dealings with others. On the other hand, those who get to know him well enough can get an excellent view of his more playful side.
::* He can be rather vain, though never in a malicious manner. A wound to his face, however, will quite literally drive him berserk.
::* The youth is capable of being surprisingly pragmatic. He is also not afraid to cut his losses or put himself in danger if he feels it is for the greater benefit of his cause.
::* He has quite the ruthless streak if pushed too far, especially if those he cares for are put in danger.

==Relationships==
===Family===

'''[[Lydia wir Baelthar]]''' - Although far from being common knowledge it is no lie that Graeham's mother is none other than Lydia wir Baelthar; a Garlean scientist known for her ruthless streak and controversial research into the Garlean race's inability to wield magic. She once attempted to defect from Garlemald and carve out a simple life for herself within Eorzea. Yet years of abuse based on her heritage and a desire to expand her influence caused her to slink back into her old ways and she left everything behind - including her son - shortly after the Calamity. She has since hired many an agent to track down Graeham and bring him to her unharmed.

'''[[Tristain Ridgefield]]''' - A particularly cocksure sailor and ex-pirate that has fathered many a bastard during his time away from his ship. He briefly settled down in an attempt to turn over a new leaf after becoming enthralled by Lydia's seductive ways. After giving her a son, however, he soon grew bored and left one night never to return. Graeham sought to take up his father's surname to better disguise his true heritage - with the hope that one day it might serve to lure the man back to pay the lad a visit.

'''[[Lucius wir Baelthar]]''' - Brother to Lydia and uncle to Graeham. He is a decorated soldier in Garlemald's armed forces with a knack for piloting magitek. He disapproves of his sister's scheming and obsession with her research.

===Friends===

'''[[Caelum Eligar]]''' - A fellow Garlean half-breed that happened to cross paths with Graeham. The pair quickly hit it off and bonded over their shared heritage and experiences. As time passed they became lovers - and after a near death experience the pair decided to push ahead and make their relationship official within the Sanctum of the Twelve.

'''[[Reima Awen]]''' - A young woman that Graeham encountered in La Noscea. He offered to give her a tour of the immediate region. Circumstance saw them reunited once more and the pair quite quickly became good friends. Graeham sees Reima as a gentle, kind soul and he often strives to do all he can to protect her perceived innocence.

'''[[Arcian Martell]]''' - Encountered alongside Reima, Arcian was also present when Graeham offered a tour of the remnants of Nym. The pair initially hit it off fairly well...at least until Graeham's heritage was revealed. After that the pair endured an uneasy relationship; often finding themselves tense around each other. Yet as time passed - and through mutual friendships - the pair came to like and even respect one another.

'''[[Eliane Dufresne]]''' - Graeham met Lady Dufresne not long after travelling to Ishgard on diplomatic business. Sharing many interests and a mutual love of tea they quite quickly became friends - and Graeham readily offered his services to secure additional contracts for Eliane's business, 'The Bellworks'. The pair frequently meet up to discuss business and indulge in tea, cakes and the latest political affairs.

===Acquaintances===

'''[[Edda Eglantine]]''' - The pair met by sheer chance in Limsa Lominsa on two separate occasions. Although neither knows much about the other at present; Graeham considers Edda to be a woman of much refinement and grace.

===Rivals===

===Enemies===

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."
::* "The man isn't shy when it comes to making use of that silver tongue of his. I'm sure it gets him into trouble from time to time though..."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "He has a good heart but he can be pretty naive. I fear many will take advantage of that."
::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."
::* "I've seen him wearing a full suit of armour! Does he fancy himself a knight now?"

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."
::* "Every few months he heads out to that graveyard near Wineport to place a bouquet of flowers atop one of the graves."
::* "He's Garlean! Well, his mother was - his father wasn't. I don't trust him one bit - tainted blood is tainted blood."
::* "There's a darker, more cynical side to him beneath all his charm. Be cautious."
::* "He's much better at using that blade of his than he'd let you believe. Don't be fooled - it's a trick to get you to underestimate him!"

===PC Rumors===
::* "An enigmatic man and former friend. I was never able to delve into his mysteries satisfactorily. He seems pleased not to be the center of attention and is skilled at remaining unnoticed. But do take notice, look under the surface, even if he insists that there is nothing hidden there. Maybe you will find it. I never have." - [[Lilia Lia]]
::* "I'm not the type to be swayed by idealists, but his spirit is contagious, especially since it's accompanied by intelligence many seem to lack. It's nice to see his heart and optimism haven't been spoiled by the fools he had to suffer for so long." -[[Sasha Rochester]]
::* "The hyur with the blond hair who used to live here at the Mizzenmast down the hall from me... I wonder where he went? His armor was so beautiful, and I could smell the fresh fish he would bring home all the way from my room." — [[M'isha Runja]]
::* ""Although he may harbour the blood of Garlemald within him, let it be known that there is no doubt as to Ser Ridgefield's intentions, nor as to his honour. His single-minded commitment to brokering peace between Eorzea and Garlemald is testament to this." - [[Keiten Hagane]]
::* ""A kind young knight, who took it upon himself to aid my tribe in fending off aggressors who wanted its territory, and who give miqo'te foods." - [[J'rakh Tia]]
::* ""Easygoin' fella. Smiles a lot, pleasant to do business wit'. Got a feelin' he's got gil pourin' outta his arse. Don't seem fake an' fluffed up like the other diplomatic types, though. I respect that." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]
::* "Good man that one, Graeham has the making of a knight, and is decent enough with the blade. I hope he never bites it, the realm needs good men like him, especially right now." -[[Leon Greymoon]]
::* "Oh him? He definitely stands out, in what way depends on who looks at him. I for one, see him as a naive man trying to fight against the unrelenting tide of the world, too bad it is my job to keep his head above the damned water." -[[Akari Kurokawa]]
::* "Sharp as a needle, Ser Graeham. Do not allow his youth to fool you: I've found him far more thoughtful and wise than those twice his age." - [[Eliane Dufresne]]

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

For a time the youth offered his services to [[Brynhilde Wulf]] and her allies. The exact reasoning for this is unknown yet it is said that he stood at their side for a good few months. After a betrayal from within and a near death experience the half-breed saw fit to distance himself from their cause and ultimately focus his efforts almost exclusively upon his duties as a diplomat. He has since used his position to aid Lady [[Eliane Dufresne]] in regards to finding new contracts to aid her business, 'The Bellworks'.

Graeham sought to take up his father's surname to better disguise his true heritage - with the hope that one day it might serve to lure the man back to pay the lad a visit.

'''[[Lucius wir Baelthar]]''' - Brother to Lydia and uncle to Graeham. He is a decorated soldier in Garlemald's armed forces with a knack for piloting magitek. He disapproves of his sister's scheming and obsession with her research.

===Friends===

'''[[Caelum Eligar]]''' - A fellow Garlean half-breed that happened to cross paths with Graeham. The pair quickly hit it off and bonded over their shared heritage and experiences. As time passed they became lovers - and after a near death experience the pair decided to push ahead and make their relationship official within the Sanctum of the Twelve.

'''[[Reima Awen]]''' - A young woman that Graeham encountered in La Noscea. He offered to give her a tour of the immediate region. Circumstance saw them reunited once more and the pair quite quickly became good friends. Graeham sees Reima as a gentle, kind soul and he often strives to do all he can to protect her perceived innocence.

'''[[Arcian Martell]]''' - Encountered alongside Reima, Arcian was also present when Graeham offered a tour of the remnants of Nym. The pair initially hit it off fairly well...at least until Graeham's heritage was revealed. After that the pair endured an uneasy relationship; often finding themselves tense around each other. Yet as time passed - and through mutual friendships - the pair came to like and even respect one another.

'''[[Eliane Dufresne]]''' - Graeham met Lady Dufresne not long after travelling to Ishgard on diplomatic business. Sharing many interests and a mutual love of tea they quite quickly became friends - and Graeham readily offered his services to secure additional contracts for Eliane's business, 'The Bellworks'. The pair frequently meet up to discuss business and indulge in tea, cakes and the latest political affairs.

===Acquaintances===

'''[[Edda Eglatine]]''' - The pair met by sheer chance in Limsa Lominsa on two separate occasions. Although neither knows much about the other at present; Graeham considers Edda to be a woman of much refinement and grace.

===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."

::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."
::* "Every few months he heads out to that graveyard near Wineport to place a bouquet of flowers atop one of the graves."
::* "He's Garlean! Well, his mother was - his father wasn't. I don't trust him one bit - tainted blood is tainted blood."
::* "There's a darker, more cynical side to him beneath all his charm. Be cautious."
::* "He's much better at using that blade of his than he'd let you believe. Don't be fooled - it's a trick to get you to underestimate him!"

===PC Rumors===
::* "An enigmatic man and former friend. I was never able to delve into his mysteries satisfactorily. He seems pleased not to be the center of attention and is skilled at remaining unnoticed. But do take notice, look under the surface, even if he insists that there is nothing hidden there. Maybe you will find it. I never have." - [[Lilia Lia]]
::* "I'm not the type to be swayed by idealists, but his spirit is contagious, especially since it's accompanied by intelligence many seem to lack. It's nice to see his heart and optimism haven't been spoiled by the fools he had to suffer for so long." -[[Sasha Rochester]]
::* "The hyur with the blond hair who used to live here at the Mizzenmast down the hall from me... I wonder where he went? His armor was so beautiful, and I could smell the fresh fish he would bring home all the way from my room." — [[M'isha Runja]]

::* "Sharp as a needle, Ser Graeham. Do not allow his youth to fool you: I've found him far more thoughtful and wise than those twice his age." - [[Eliane Dufresne]]

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

For a time the youth offered his services to [[Brynhilde Wulf]] and her allies. The exact reasoning for this is unknown yet it is said that he stood at their side for a good few months. After a betrayal from within and a near death experience the half-breed saw fit to distance himself from their cause and ultimately focus his efforts almost exclusively upon his duties as a diplomat. He has since used his position to aid Lady [[Eliane Dufresne]] in regards to finding new contracts to aid her business, 'The Bellworks'.

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Excessive reliance and use of alcohol.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.
::* Blemishes to his appearance.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be a very reasonable and persuasive individual - often acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

===Other===
::* Graeham has a tendency to be very formal and occasionally theatrical in his dealings with others. On the other hand, those who get to know him well enough can get an excellent view of his more playful side.
::* He can be rather vain, though never in a malicious manner. A wound to his face, however, will quite literally drive him berserk.
::* The youth is capable of being surprisingly pragmatic. He is also not afraid to cut his losses or put himself in danger if he feels it is for the greater benefit of his cause.
::* He has quite the ruthless streak if pushed too far, especially if those he cares for are put in danger.

==Relationships==
===Family===

'''[[Lydia wir Baelthar]]''' - Although far from being common knowledge it is no lie that Graeham's mother is none other than Lydia wir Baelthar; a Garlean scientist known for her ruthless streak and controversial research into the Garlean race's inability to wield magic. She once attempted to defect from Garlemald and carve out a simple life for herself within Eorzea. Yet years of abuse based on her heritage and a desire to expand her influence caused her to slink back into her old ways and she left everything behind - including her son - shortly after the Calamity. She has since hired many an agent to track down Graeham and bring him to her unharmed.

'''[[Tristain Ridgefield]]''' - A particularly cocksure sailor and ex-pirate that has fathered many a bastard during his time away from his ship. He briefly settled down in an attempt to turn over a new leaf after becoming enthralled by Lydia's seductive ways. After giving her a son, however, he soon grew bored and left one night never to return. Graeham sought to take up his father's surname to better disguise his true heritage - with the hope that one day it might serve to lure the man back to pay the lad a visit.

'''[[Lucius wir Baelthar]]''' - Brother to Lydia and uncle to Graeham. He is a decorated soldier in Garlemald's armed forces with a knack for piloting magitek. He disapproves of his sister's scheming and obsession with her research.

===Friends===

'''[[Caelum Eligar]]''' - A fellow Garlean half-breed that happened to cross paths with Graeham. The pair quickly hit it off and bonded over their shared heritage and experiences. As time passed they became lovers - and after a near death experience the pair decided to push ahead and make their relationship official within the Sanctum of the Twelve.

Circumstance saw them reunited once more and the pair quite quickly became good friends. Graeham sees Reima as a gentle, kind soul and he often strives to do all he can to protect her perceived innocence.

The pair frequently meet up to discuss business and indulge in tea, cakes and the latest political affairs.

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

For a time the youth offered his services to [[Brynhilde Wulf]] and her allies. The exact reasoning for this is unknown yet it is said that he stood at their side for a good few months. After a betrayal from within and a near death experience the half-breed saw fit to distance himself from their cause and ultimately focus his efforts almost exclusively upon his duties as a diplomat. He has since used his position to aid Lady [[Eliane Dufresne]] in regards to finding new contracts to aid her business, 'The Bellworks'.

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Excessive reliance and use of alcohol.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.
::* Blemishes to his appearance.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be a very reasonable and persuasive individual - often acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

===Other===
::* Graeham has a tendency to be very formal and occasionally theatrical in his dealings with others. On the other hand, those who get to know him well enough can get an excellent view of his more playful side.
::* He can be rather vain, though never in a malicious manner. A wound to his face, however, will quite literally drive him berserk.
::* The youth is capable of being surprisingly pragmatic. He is also not afraid to cut his losses or put himself in danger if he feels it is for the greater benefit of his cause.
::* He has quite the ruthless streak if pushed too far, especially if those he cares for are put in danger.

==Relationships==
===Family===

'''[[Lydia wir Baelthar]]''' - Although far from being common knowledge it is no lie that Graeham's mother is none other than Lydia wir Baelthar; a Garlean scientist known for her ruthless streak and controversial research into the Garlean race's inability to wield magic. She once attempted to defect from Garlemald and carve out a simple life for herself within Eorzea. Yet years of abuse based on her heritage and a desire to expand her influence caused her to slink back into her old ways and she left everything behind - including her son - shortly after the Calamity. She has since hired many an agent to track down Graeham and bring him to her unharmed.

'''[[Tristain Ridgefield]]''' - A particularly cocksure sailor and ex-pirate that has fathered many a bastard during his time away from his ship. He briefly settled down in an attempt to turn over a new leaf after becoming enthralled by Lydia's seductive ways. After giving her a son, however, he soon grew bored and left one night never to return. Graeham sought to take up his father's surname to better disguise his true heritage - with the hope that one day it might serve to lure the man back to pay the lad a visit.

'''[[Lucius wir Baelthar]]''' - Brother to Lydia and uncle to Graeham. He is a decorated soldier in Garlemald's armed forces with a knack for piloting magitek. He disapproves of his sister's scheming and obsession with her research.

===Friends===

'''[[Caelum Eligar]]''' - A fellow Garlean half-breed that happened to cross paths with Graeham. The pair quickly hit it off and bonded over their shared heritage and experiences. As time passed they became lovers - and after a near death experience the pair decided to push ahead and make their relationship official within the Sanctum of the Twelve.

'''[[Reima Awen]]''' - A young woman that Graeham encountered in La Noscea. He offered to give her a tour of the immediate region. Circumstance saw them reunited once more and the pair quite quickly became good friends. Graeham sees Reima as a gentle, kind soul and he often strives to do all he can to protect her perceived innocence.

'''[[Arcian Martell]]''' - Encountered alongside Reima, Arcian was also present when Graeham offered a tour of the remnants of Nym. The pair initially hit it off fairly well...at least until Graeham's heritage was revealed. After that the pair endured an uneasy relationship; often finding themselves tense around each other. Yet as time passed - and through mutual friendships - the pair came to like and even respect one another.

'''[[Eliane Dufresne]]''' - Graeham met Lady Dufresne not long after travelling to Ishgard on diplomatic business. Sharing many interests and a mutual love of tea they quite quickly became friends - and Graeham readily offered his services to secure additional contracts for Eliane's business, 'The Bellworks'. The pair frequently meet up to discuss business and indulge in tea, cakes and the latest political affairs.

===Rivals===

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."
::* "The man isn't shy when it comes to making use of that silver tongue of his. I'm sure it gets him into trouble from time to time though..."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "He has a good heart but he can be pretty naive. I fear many will take advantage of that."
::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."
::* "I've seen him wearing a full suit of armour! Does he fancy himself a knight now?"

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."
::* "Every few months he heads out to that graveyard near Wineport to place a bouquet of flowers atop one of the graves."
::* "He's Garlean! Well, his mother was - his father wasn't. I don't trust him one bit - tainted blood is tainted blood."
::* "There's a darker, more cynical side to him beneath all his charm. Be cautious."
::* "He's much better at using that blade of his than he'd let you believe. Don't be fooled - it's a trick to get you to underestimate him!"

===PC Rumors===
::* "An enigmatic man and former friend. I was never able to delve into his mysteries satisfactorily. He seems pleased not to be the center of attention and is skilled at remaining unnoticed. But do take notice, look under the surface, even if he insists that there is nothing hidden there. Maybe you will find it. I never have." - [[Lilia Lia]]
::* "I'm not the type to be swayed by idealists, but his spirit is contagious, especially since it's accompanied by intelligence many seem to lack. It's nice to see his heart and optimism haven't been spoiled by the fools he had to suffer for so long." -[[Sasha Rochester]]
::* "The hyur with the blond hair who used to live here at the Mizzenmast down the hall from me... I wonder where he went? His armor was so beautiful, and I could smell the fresh fish he would bring home all the way from my room." — [[M'isha Runja]]
::* ""Although he may harbour the blood of Garlemald within him, let it be known that there is no doubt as to Ser Ridgefield's intentions, nor as to his honour. His single-minded commitment to brokering peace between Eorzea and Garlemald is testament to this." - [[Keiten Hagane]]
::* ""A kind young knight, who took it upon himself to aid my tribe in fending off aggressors who wanted its territory, and who give miqo'te foods." - [[J'rakh Tia]]
::* ""Easygoin' fella. Smiles a lot, pleasant to do business wit'. Got a feelin' he's got gil pourin' outta his arse. Don't seem fake an' fluffed up like the other diplomatic types, though. I respect that." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]
::* "Good man that one, Graeham has the making of a knight, and is decent enough with the blade. I hope he never bites it, the realm needs good men like him, especially right now." -[[Leon Greymoon]]
::* "Oh him? He definitely stands out, in what way depends on who looks at him. I for one, see him as a naive man trying to fight against the unrelenting tide of the world, too bad it is my job to keep his head above the damned water." -[[Akari Kurokawa]]
::* "Sharp as a needle, Ser Graeham. Do not allow his youth to fool you: I've found him far more thoughtful and wise than those twice his age." - [[Eliane Dufresne]]

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

For a time the youth offered his services to [[Brynhilde Wulf]] and her allies. The exact reasoning for this is unknown yet it is said that he stood at their side for a good few months. After a betrayal from within and a near death experience the half-breed saw fit to distance himself from their cause and ultimately focus his efforts almost exclusively upon his duties as a diplomat. He has since used his position to aid Lady [[Eliane Dufresne]] in regards to finding new contracts to aid her business, 'The Bellworks'.

'''[[Lydia wir Baelthar]]''' - Although far from being common knowledge it is no lie that Graeham's mother is none other than Lydia wir Baelthar; a Garlean scientist known for her ruthless streak and controversial research into the Garlean race's inability to wield magic. She once attempted to defect from Garlemald and carve out a simple life for herself within Eorzea. Yet years of abuse based on her heritage and a desire to expand her influence caused her to slink back into her old ways and she left everything behind - including her son - shortly after the Calamity. She has since hired many an agent to track down Graeham and bring him to her unharmed.

'''[[Tristain Ridgefield]]''' - A particularly cocksure sailor and ex-pirate that has fathered many a bastard during his time away from his ship. He briefly settled down in an attempt to turn over a new leaf after becoming enthralled by Lydia's seductive ways. After giving her a son, however, he soon grew bored and left one night never to return. Graeham sought to take up his father's surname to better disguise his true heritage - with the hope that one day it might serve to lure the man back to pay the lad a visit.

'''[[Lucius wir Baelthar]]''' - Brother to Lydia and uncle to Graeham. He is a decorated soldier in Garlemald's armed forces with a knack for piloting magitek. He disapproves of his sister's scheming and obsession with her research.

===Friends===

'''[[Caelum Eligar]]''' A fellow Garlean half-breed that happened to cross paths with Graeham. The pair quickly hit it off and bonded over their shared heritage and experiences. As time passed they became lovers - and after a near death experience the pair decided to push ahead and make their relationship official within the Sanctum of the Twelve.

'''[[Reima Awen]]''' A young woman that Graeham encountered in La Noscea. He offered to give her a tour of the immediate region. Circumstance saw them reunited once more and the pair quite quickly became good friends. Graeham sees Reima as a gentle, kind soul and he often strives to do all he can to protect her perceived innocence.

'''[[Arcian Martell]]''' Encountered alongside Reima, Arcian was also present when Graeham offered a tour of the remnants of Nym. The pair initially hit it off fairly well...at least until Graeham's heritage was revealed. After that the pair endured an uneasy relationship; often finding themselves tense around each other. Yet as time passed - and through mutual friendships - the pair came to like and even respect one another.

'''[[Eliane Dufresne]]''' Graeham met Lady Dufresne not long after travelling to Ishgard on diplomatic business. Sharing many interests and a mutual love of tea they quite quickly became friends - and Graeham readily offered his services to secure additional contracts for Eliane's business, 'The Bellworks'. The pair frequently meet up to discuss business and indulge in tea, cakes and the latest political affairs.

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

For a time the youth offered his services to [[Brynhilde Wulf]] and her allies. The exact reasoning for this is unknown yet it is said that he stood at their side for a good few months. After a betrayal from within and a near death experience the half-breed saw fit to distance himself from their cause and ultimately focus his efforts almost exclusively upon his duties as a diplomat. He has since used his position to aid Lady [[Eliane Dufresne]] in regards to finding new contracts to aid her business, 'The Bellworks'.

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Excessive reliance and use of alcohol.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.
::* Blemishes to his appearance.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be a very reasonable and persuasive individual - often acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

===Other===
::* Graeham has a tendency to be very formal and occasionally theatrical in his dealings with others. On the other hand, those who get to know him well enough can get an excellent view of his more playful side.
::* He can be rather vain, though never in a malicious manner. A wound to his face, however, will quite literally drive him berserk.
::* The youth is capable of being surprisingly pragmatic. He is also not afraid to cut his losses or put himself in danger if he feels it is for the greater benefit of his cause.
::* He has quite the ruthless streak if pushed too far, especially if those he cares for are put in danger.

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

For a time the youth offered his services to [[Brynhilde Wulf]] and her allies. The exact reasoning for this is unknown yet it is said that he stood at their side for a good few months. After a betrayal from within and a near death experience the half-breed saw fit to distance himself from their cause and ultimately focus his efforts almost exclusively upon his duties as a diplomat. He has since used his position to aid Lady [[Eliane Dufresne]] in regards to finding new contracts to aid her business, 'The Bellworks'.

{{Character-stub}}

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Excessive reliance and use of alcohol.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.
::* Blemishes to his appearance.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be a very reasonable and persuasive individual - often acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

===Other===
::* Graeham has a tendency to be very formal and occasionally theatrical in his dealings with others. On the other hand, those who get to know him well enough can get an excellent view of his more playful side.
::* He can be rather vain, though never in a malicious manner. A wound to his face, however, will quite literally drive him berserk.

==Relationships==
===Family===

'''[[Lydia wir Baelthar]]''' - Although far from being common knowledge it is no lie that Graeham's mother is none other than Lydia wir Baelthar; a Garlean scientist known for her ruthless streak and controversial research into the Garlean race's inability to wield magic. She once attempted to defect from Garlemald and carve out a simple life for herself within Eorzea. Yet years of abuse based on her heritage and a desire to expand her influence caused her to slink back into her old ways and she left everything behind - including her son - shortly after the Calamity. She has since hired many an agent to track down Graeham and bring him to her unharmed.

'''[[Tristain Ridgefield]]''' - A particularly cocksure sailor and ex-pirate that has fathered many a bastard during his time away from his ship. He briefly settled down in an attempt to turn over a new leaf after becoming enthralled by Lydia's seductive ways. After giving her a son, however, he soon grew bored and left one night never to return. Graeham sought to take up his father's surname to better disguise his true heritage - with the hope that one day it might serve to lure the man back to pay the lad a visit.

===Friends===

'''[[Caelum Eligar]]''' A fellow Garlean half-breed that happened to cross paths with Graeham. The pair quickly hit it off and bonded over their shared heritage and experiences. As time passed they became lovers - and after a near death experience the pair decided to push ahead and make their relationship official within the Sanctum of the Twelve.

'''[[Reima Awen]]''' A young woman that Graeham encountered in La Noscea. He offered to give her a tour of the immediate region. Circumstance saw them reunited once more and the pair quite quickly became good friends. Graeham sees Reima as a gentle, kind soul and he often strives to do all he can to protect her perceived innocence.

'''[[Arcian Martell]]''' Encountered alongside Reima, Arcian was also present when Graeham offered a tour of the remnants of Nym. The pair initially hit it off fairly well...at least until Graeham's heritage was revealed. After that the pair endured an uneasy relationship; often finding themselves tense around each other. Yet as time passed - and through mutual friendships - the pair came to like and even respect one another.

'''[[Eliane Dufresne]]''' Graeham met Lady Dufresne not long after travelling to Ishgard on diplomatic business. Sharing many interests and a mutual love of tea they quite quickly became friends - and Graeham readily offered his services to secure additional contracts for Eliane's business, 'The Bellworks'. The pair frequently meet up to discuss business and indulge in tea, cakes and the latest political affairs.

===Enemies===

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."
::* "The man isn't shy when it comes to making use of that silver tongue of his. I'm sure it gets him into trouble from time to time though..."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "He has a good heart but he can be pretty naive. I fear many will take advantage of that."
::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."
::* "I've seen him wearing a full suit of armour! Does he fancy himself a knight now?"

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."
::* "Every few months he heads out to that graveyard near Wineport to place a bouquet of flowers atop one of the graves."
::* "He's Garlean! Well, his mother was - his father wasn't. I don't trust him one bit - tainted blood is tainted blood."
::* "There's a darker, more cynical side to him beneath all his charm. Be cautious."
::* "He's much better at using that blade of his than he'd let you believe. Don't be fooled - it's a trick to get you to underestimate him!"

===PC Rumors===
::* "An enigmatic man and former friend. I was never able to delve into his mysteries satisfactorily. He seems pleased not to be the center of attention and is skilled at remaining unnoticed. But do take notice, look under the surface, even if he insists that there is nothing hidden there. Maybe you will find it. I never have." - [[Lilia Lia]]
::* "I'm not the type to be swayed by idealists, but his spirit is contagious, especially since it's accompanied by intelligence many seem to lack. It's nice to see his heart and optimism haven't been spoiled by the fools he had to suffer for so long." -[[Sasha Rochester]]
::* "The hyur with the blond hair who used to live here at the Mizzenmast down the hall from me... I wonder where he went? His armor was so beautiful, and I could smell the fresh fish he would bring home all the way from my room." — [[M'isha Runja]]
::* ""Although he may harbour the blood of Garlemald within him, let it be known that there is no doubt as to Ser Ridgefield's intentions, nor as to his honour. His single-minded commitment to brokering peace between Eorzea and Garlemald is testament to this." - [[Keiten Hagane]]
::* ""A kind young knight, who took it upon himself to aid my tribe in fending off aggressors who wanted its territory, and who give miqo'te foods." - [[J'rakh Tia]]
::* ""Easygoin' fella. Smiles a lot, pleasant to do business wit'. Got a feelin' he's got gil pourin' outta his arse. Don't seem fake an' fluffed up like the other diplomatic types, though. I respect that." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]
::* "Good man that one, Graeham has the making of a knight, and is decent enough with the blade. I hope he never bites it, the realm needs good men like him, especially right now." -[[Leon Greymoon]]
::* "Oh him? He definitely stands out, in what way depends on who looks at him. I for one, see him as a naive man trying to fight against the unrelenting tide of the world, too bad it is my job to keep his head above the damned water." -[[Akari Kurokawa]]
::* "Sharp as a needle, Ser Graeham. Do not allow his youth to fool you: I've found him far more thoughtful and wise than those twice his age." - [[Eliane Dufresne]]

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed.

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

{{Character-stub}}

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Alcohol, primarily due to the negative effects it has on many people.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be fairly diplomatic when required, sometimes acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

==Relationships==
===Family===

'''[[Lydia wir Baelthar]]''' - Although far from being common knowledge it is no lie that Graeham's mother is none other than Lydia wir Baelthar; a Garlean scientist known for her ruthless streak and controversial research into the Garlean race's inability to wield magic. She once attempted to defect from Garlemald and carve out a simple life for herself within Eorzea. Yet years of abuse based on her heritage and a desire to expand her influence caused her to slink back into her old ways and she left everything behind - including her son - shortly after the Calamity. She has since hired many an agent to track down Graeham and bring him to her unharmed.

'''[[Tristain Ridgefield]]''' - A particularly cocksure sailor and ex-pirate that has fathered many a bastard during his time away from his ship. He briefly settled down in an attempt to turn over a new leaf after becoming enthralled by Lydia's seductive ways. After giving her a son, however, he soon grew bored and left one night never to return. Graeham sought to take up his father's surname to better disguise his true heritage - with the hope that one day it might serve to lure the man back to pay the lad a visit.

===Friends===

'''[[Caelum Eligar]]''' A fellow Garlean half-breed that happened to cross paths with Graeham. The pair quickly hit it off and bonded over their shared heritage and experiences. As time passed they became lovers - and after a near death experience the pair decided to push ahead and make their relationship official within the Sanctum of the Twelve.

'''[[Reima Awen]]''' A young woman that Graeham encountered in La Noscea. He offered to give her a tour of the immediate region. Circumstance saw them reunited once more and the pair quite quickly became good friends. Graeham sees Reima as a gentle, kind soul and he often strives to do all he can to protect her perceived innocence.

'''[[Arcian Martell]]''' Encountered alongside Reima, Arcian was also present when Graeham offered a tour of the remnants of Nym. The pair initially hit it off fairly well...at least until Graeham's heritage was revealed. After that the pair endured an uneasy relationship; often finding themselves tense around each other. Yet as time passed - and through mutual friendships - the pair came to like and even respect one another.

'''[[Eliane Dufresne]]''' Graeham met Lady Dufresne not long after travelling to Ishgard on diplomatic business. Sharing many interests and a mutual love of tea they quite quickly became friends - and Graeham readily offered his services to secure additional contracts for Eliane's business, 'The Bellworks'. The pair frequently meet up to discuss business and indulge in tea, cakes and the latest political affairs.

Aruktai Olkund

{{Character-stub}}

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

As a testament to his tribe's focus on selective breeding Aruktai boasts a tall and exceptionally well built physique that is more often than not further enhanced by thick steel armour of a jet black hue. To some his appearance may come across as intimidating, especially when one considers the exotic nature of his horns and scales; both of which match the colour of his armour. Where there are no scales there is skin of a dark bronze hue. A pair of golden eyes study whatever is around him with a measure of intensity. Aruktai looks to be somewhere in his early to mid thirties. His mannerisms, stance and facial expressions can best be described as stern, stoic and humourless. He does not, however, appear to be antisocial or unfriendly.

===Personality===

Although not lacking in intelligence or skill with a blade it would not be a lie to consider Aruktai to be rather odd by Eorzean standards. Although it is clear that the Au Ra makes an effort to adjust to an Eorzean way of life he is set in his ways and continues to embrace many elements of his tribal upbringing. He has a habit of taking statements at face value nor does he appear to understand jokes even if they are at his expense. He is, however, fiercely protective of those who prove their worth to him...or whoever happens to hire him for a task.

Aruktai often speaks in an unusual manner - often voicing a desire for 'efficiency' and basing many of his actions around just that. To some this may come across as clinical, arrogant and frigid - though he ultimately means well even if he insists that he knows what is best for those around him.

==History/Timeline==

Aruktai was born and raised within a branch of the Olkund tribe that laid claim to various encampments situated throughout Othard's eastern reaches. From an early age he was taught how best to wield a sword and shield by his father - and so the Au Ra came to serve as both a hunter and a guardian for those who lived nearby. Often spending days at a time away from wherever his tribe pitched their tents he would return with a variety of fresh kills to aid in feeding and arming his brethren. When a group of Garlean soldiers decided to erect an outpost nearby in an effort to increase their influence over Othard, however, Aruktai returned from one of his trips to find that most of his people had been scattered and displaced. Those who sought to hold their ground had simply been slain.

Although Aruktai made an effort to reunite with his people he found himself increasingly fond of the idea of heading to Eorzea after hearing rumours about the continent's defiance when confronted by the same threat that his people had been forced to face. Although he attempted to convince his closest friends and family members to join him, however, he met little success and thus decided to venture to Eorzea alone. Knowing that he would need a great deal of coin to fund his journey he began to advertise his services as a mercenary to passing traders. After saving the life of a wealthy Ul'dahn merchant the Au Ra managed to persuade the man to allow him passage on a ship bound for Vylbrand.

Adjusting to life in Eorzea proved to be a consistently difficult affair. His height, physique and appearance ensured that he stood out in a crowd and many Eorzeans shunned him. After performing a number of odd jobs around Limsa Lominsa and the surrounding areas, however, Aruktai managed to pique the curiosity of a friendly blacksmith who created a sword, shield and suit of armour to replace the tribal equipment that the Au Ra had previously used. After a few more months spent in the region the urge to see more of Eorzea grew too much to bear and so Aruktai set off to the mainland.

He has since aligned himself with Clan Centurio, taking on contracts to deal with some of the nastier creatures that make Eorzea their home. More recently he has been spotted amidst the members of Aeon - a Free Company based within Ul'dah's residential district.

He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Alcohol, primarily due to the negative effects it has on many people.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be fairly diplomatic when required, sometimes acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

==Relationships==
===Family===

'''[[Lydia wir Baelthar]]''' - Although far from being common knowledge it is no lie that Graeham's mother is none other than Lydia wir Baelthar; a Garlean scientist known for her ruthless streak and controversial research into the Garlean race's inability to wield magic. She once attempted to defect from Garlemald and carve out a simple life for herself within Eorzea. Yet years of abuse based on her heritage and a desire to expand her influence caused her to slink back into her old ways and she left everything behind - including her son - shortly after the Calamity. She has since hired many an agent to track down Graeham and bring him to her unharmed.

'''[[Tristain Ridgefield]]''' - A particularly cocksure sailor and ex-pirate that has fathered many a bastard during his time away from his ship. He briefly settled down in an attempt to turn over a new leaf after becoming enthralled by Lydia's seductive ways. After giving her a son, however, he soon grew bored and left one night never to return. Graeham sought to take up his father's surname to better disguise his true heritage - with the hope that one day it might serve to lure the man back to pay the lad a visit.

===Friends===

'''[[Caelum Eligar]]'''

'''[[Reima Awen]]'''

'''[[Arcian Martell]]'''

'''[[Eliane Dufresne]]'''

===Enemies===

'''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - Although the youth does not seem willing to speak of what transpired between the pair it has been said that Graeham has referred to the man as little more than 'abomination' or 'traitor' on more than one occasion. Graeham's usual calm and collected manner seems to crack at the mere mention of the man.

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."
::* "The man isn't shy when it comes to making use of that silver tongue of his. I'm sure it gets him into trouble from time to time though..."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "He has a good heart but he can be pretty naive. I fear many will take advantage of that."
::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."
::* "I've seen him wearing a full suit of armour! Does he fancy himself a knight now?"

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."
::* "Every few months he heads out to that graveyard near Wineport to place a bouquet of flowers atop one of the graves."
::* "He's Garlean! Well, his mother was - his father wasn't. I don't trust him one bit - tainted blood is tainted blood."
::* "There's a darker, more cynical side to him beneath all his charm. Be cautious."
::* "He's much better at using that blade of his than he'd let you believe. Don't be fooled - it's a trick to get you to underestimate him!"

===PC Rumors===
::* "An enigmatic man and former friend. I was never able to delve into his mysteries satisfactorily. He seems pleased not to be the center of attention and is skilled at remaining unnoticed. But do take notice, look under the surface, even if he insists that there is nothing hidden there. Maybe you will find it. I never have." - [[Lilia Lia]]
::* "I'm not the type to be swayed by idealists, but his spirit is contagious, especially since it's accompanied by intelligence many seem to lack. It's nice to see his heart and optimism haven't been spoiled by the fools he had to suffer for so long." -[[Sasha Rochester]]
::* "The hyur with the blond hair who used to live here at the Mizzenmast down the hall from me... I wonder where he went? His armor was so beautiful, and I could smell the fresh fish he would bring home all the way from my room." — [[M'isha Runja]]
::* ""Although he may harbour the blood of Garlemald within him, let it be known that there is no doubt as to Ser Ridgefield's intentions, nor as to his honour. His single-minded commitment to brokering peace between Eorzea and Garlemald is testament to this." - [[Keiten Hagane]]
::* ""A kind young knight, who took it upon himself to aid my tribe in fending off aggressors who wanted its territory, and who give miqo'te foods." - [[J'rakh Tia]]
::* ""Easygoin' fella. Smiles a lot, pleasant to do business wit'. Got a feelin' he's got gil pourin' outta his arse. Don't seem fake an' fluffed up like the other diplomatic types, though. I respect that." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]
::* "Good man that one, Graeham has the making of a knight, and is decent enough with the blade. I hope he never bites it, the realm needs good men like him, especially right now." -[[Leon Greymoon]]
::* "Oh him? He definitely stands out, in what way depends on who looks at him. I for one, see him as a naive man trying to fight against the unrelenting tide of the world, too bad it is my job to keep his head above the damned water." -[[Akari Kurokawa]]
::* "Sharp as a needle, Ser Graeham. Do not allow his youth to fool you: I've found him far more thoughtful and wise than those twice his age." - [[Eliane Dufresne]]

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Alcohol, primarily due to the negative effects it has on many people.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be fairly diplomatic when required, sometimes acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

===Other===

==Relationships==
===Family===

'''[[Lydia wir Baelthar]]''' - Although far from being common knowledge it is no lie that Graeham's mother is none other than Lydia wir Baelthar; a Garlean scientist known for her ruthless streak and controversial research into the Garlean race's inability to wield magic. She once attempted to defect from Garlemald and carve out a simple life for herself within Eorzea. Yet years of abuse based on her heritage caused her to slink back into her old ways and she left everything behind - including her son - shortly after the Calamity. She has since hired many an agent to track down Graeham and bring him to her unharmed.

'''[[Tristain Ridgefield]]''' - A particularly cocksure sailor and ex-pirate that has fathered many a bastard during his time away from his ship. He briefly settled down in an attempt to turn over a new leaf after becoming enthralled by Lydia's seductive ways. After giving her a son, however, he soon grew bored and left one night never to return. Graeham sought to take up his father's surname to better disguise his true heritage - with the hope that one day it might serve to lure the man back to pay the lad a visit.

===Friends===

'''[[Caelum Eligar]]'''

'''[[Reima Awen]]'''

'''[[Arcian Martell]]'''

'''[[Eliane Dufresne]]'''

===Enemies===

'''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - Although the youth does not seem willing to speak of what transpired between the pair it has been said that Graeham has referred to the man as little more than 'abomination' or 'traitor' on more than one occasion. Graeham's usual calm and collected manner seems to crack at the mere mention of the man.

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."
::* "The man isn't shy when it comes to making use of that silver tongue of his. I'm sure it gets him into trouble from time to time though..."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "He has a good heart but he can be pretty naive. I fear many will take advantage of that."
::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."
::* "I've seen him wearing a full suit of armour! Does he fancy himself a knight now?"

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."
::* "Every few months he heads out to that graveyard near Wineport to place a bouquet of flowers atop one of the graves."
::* "He's Garlean! Well, his mother was - his father wasn't. I don't trust him one bit - tainted blood is tainted blood."
::* "There's a darker, more cynical side to him beneath all his charm. Be cautious."
::* "He's much better at using that blade of his than he'd let you believe. Don't be fooled - it's a trick to get you to underestimate him!"

===PC Rumors===
::* "An enigmatic man and former friend. I was never able to delve into his mysteries satisfactorily. He seems pleased not to be the center of attention and is skilled at remaining unnoticed. But do take notice, look under the surface, even if he insists that there is nothing hidden there. Maybe you will find it. I never have." - [[Lilia Lia]]
::* "I'm not the type to be swayed by idealists, but his spirit is contagious, especially since it's accompanied by intelligence many seem to lack. It's nice to see his heart and optimism haven't been spoiled by the fools he had to suffer for so long." -[[Sasha Rochester]]
::* "The hyur with the blond hair who used to live here at the Mizzenmast down the hall from me... I wonder where he went? His armor was so beautiful, and I could smell the fresh fish he would bring home all the way from my room." — [[M'isha Runja]]
::* ""Although he may harbour the blood of Garlemald within him, let it be known that there is no doubt as to Ser Ridgefield's intentions, nor as to his honour. His single-minded commitment to brokering peace between Eorzea and Garlemald is testament to this." - [[Keiten Hagane]]
::* ""A kind young knight, who took it upon himself to aid my tribe in fending off aggressors who wanted its territory, and who give miqo'te foods." - [[J'rakh Tia]]
::* ""Easygoin' fella. Smiles a lot, pleasant to do business wit'. Got a feelin' he's got gil pourin' outta his arse. Don't seem fake an' fluffed up like the other diplomatic types, though. I respect that." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]
::* "Good man that one, Graeham has the making of a knight, and is decent enough with the blade. I hope he never bites it, the realm needs good men like him, especially right now." -[[Leon Greymoon]]
::* "Oh him? He definitely stands out, in what way depends on who looks at him. I for one, see him as a naive man trying to fight against the unrelenting tide of the world, too bad it is my job to keep his head above the damned water." -[[Akari Kurokawa]]
::* "Sharp as a needle, Ser Graeham. Do not allow his youth to fool you: I've found him far more thoughtful and wise than those twice his age." - [[Eliane Dufresne]]

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #6688FF;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Basic Info</div>===
'''Eliane Dufresne''' (pronounced ''Ay-yan Du-frain'') is the elder of a pair of twins born to Baron Emmereaux Dufresne and his wife, the Baroness Olivie, both lesser nobles of Ishgard. Having beaten her brother [[Juleaux|Juleaux Dufresne]] out of the womb by a whole two hours, Eliane won the position of heiress and currently runs the Dufresne Bellworks in the wake of her father’s recent retirement. Although the family business consumes much of her time, she moonlights at the Athenaeum Astrologicum, where she passionately studies the stars.

Because the Dufresnes are “new money” where Ishgardian nobility is concerned, Eliane is armed with rampant idealism and is determined to use her power and the family fortune to do good in the world. Philanthropy is hardly profitable, however, and now that Ishgard has opened to trade – and competition – with Ul’dah, she is beginning to rapidly learn the hard way that it’s the sharks who survive in the business world.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #6688FF;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Appearance</div>===
Eliane is on the shorter end of the Elezen spectrum, sharing a height with most Highlander women. Although sporting more curvature than the average female of her race, she nevertheless cuts an elegant figure and moves with dignity and grace. Her features might be best described as ‘fey’, her current shorter haircut helping to accent rather pert facial features. Her eyes are a pale green and framed by thick lashes; they stand in pleasing contrast to her crimson hair and creamy skin. Always a stickler for appearance, Ellie typically wears light makeup and has a fondness for dresses. There is rarely, if ever, a speck of dust on her or a hair out of place. Ironically, everything else of hers – from her workspace to her room – is always a disastrous mess.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #6688FF;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Personality</div>===
[[File: Elliegant.jpg|thumb|left]]Cheerful, friendly, and outgoing, Ellie will come across as pleasant to the optimistic and saccharine to the pessimistic. She is well-mannered and polite, and will always treat others with respect and kindness until they prove to her that they deserve otherwise. Far from being a simple socialite, however, Eliane enjoys educated conversation: anything from arcane theorycrafting to a variety of scholarly subjects can have her talking and debating for hours. She’ll even talk shop with mechanics on rare occasions.

A life of nobility has given Ellie something of a vain streak. She can be overconfident and wanting for humility at times, and she will get salty fast if her physical appearance is threatened or harmed. She enjoys gossip and material items a bit too much, and can easily come across as just another shallow blue-blood to those who do not know her. She has a tendency to take everything literally, and often overdoes anything requested or suggested of her,sometimes to comedic effect. Confinement to Ishgard and environs her entire life has left her somewhat naïve about the rest of Eorzea, and she doesn’t know quite as much as she’d like to think she does.

Nevertheless, Ellie does her best to improve when she is criticized and will be the first one to extend a helping hand. She will never ask anything of anyone that she is unwilling to do herself.

She also has a notorious weakness for cute things.

==Business Ellie==
<spoiler>
Though Eliane’s public demeanor is often quite pleasant, she’s another person entirely when it comes to business, and her family business will always come first to her. Though considered tough but fair by her employees, most everyone else will call her a business shark at best and a bitch at worst. A micromanager, multitasker, and penny-pincher, Eliane refuses to let a single gil coin go to waste and has short patience for mistakes and lost productivity. She bargains hard, and is not beyond fudging grey lines to outmaneuver her rivals. As House Dufresne and the manufactory that made their fortune is a small fish in a big pond, she knows she has to play dirty sometimes to stay afloat, and rumors abound about some of the more questionable things she’s done in order to get ahead.</spoiler>

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #6688FF;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Combat</div>===
Though she doesn’t get the time to study quite as much as she would like, Eliane is quite an adept magic [[File: Welkin.png|thumb|right]]user and is skilled in many forms of arcanima. For the most part her talents lie in healing arts and in reading the future, but if cornered she will begin to fight back with bursts of starfire or, more commonly, with spells pre-inscribed on the backs of cards with arcane runes. These spells run the gamut of uses, from fiery explosions to freezing hailstorms and beyond.

Eliane is agile, but completely lacking in stamina. She rather wants for physical fitness and is actually a bit clumsy when required to exert herself. If forced into physical contact the fight would be over pretty quickly.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #6688FF;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">History (Minor Spoilers)</div>===

==The Founding of House Dufresne==
Emmereaux Dufresne was the son of an accomplished Ishgardian goldsmith. His father’s trade instilled in him a knowledge of various ores, as well as a penchant for the then-budding world of clockworks and tinkering, both of which endlessly fascinated him. As he got older, he began to travel often to the Sharlayan city-state in an effort to increase his knowledge, and there met his wife, a skilled Astrologian by the name of Olivie. The two married at a young age and inherited the Dufresne business as a wedding present. The couple, unsatisfied with a simple goldsmith shop, decided to marry Sharlayan arcanima with Ishgardian ingenuity, and thus the Dufresne Bellworks was born.

[[File: HouseDufrense.jpg|thumb|left]]By this time Emmereaux had already grown into a cunning businessman in his own right but, backed by his wife’s readings, he became all the stronger. He made a series of fortuitous investments and secured mining contracts in lands outside of Coerthas in order to ensure he had no rivals for ore. As Isghgard began to move towards industrialization in an effort to better combat the Dravanian Horde, Emmereaux was quick to invest in such projects, including what would eventually become the Skysteel Manufactory. The investments paid off, and the couple’s fortunes steadily increased.

Common rumor has it that the Dufresnes made enough money through their business ventures to finally be able to afford land and eventually just bought their noble titles. A less common rumor suggests that Emmereaux was awarded a lordship for saving a vital Durendaire holding from annihilation by using his strange clockwork inventions. Either way, the newly-minted House Dufresne now proudly stands as one of House Durendaire’s loyal bannermen, and adopted the Great House’s bell sigil in part to show its gratitude.

'''The Bellworks'''

The Dufresne Bellworks is one of Ishgard's more active foundries. Able to work with a wide variety of metals, the Bellworks is specially equipped to cast larger objects: anything from drawbridge chains to church bells to the myriad of parts used in dragonkillers and airships. Most parts are then sent off the the Skysteel Manufactory for assembly, though depending on the order, some things can be assembled in-house. At times, the foundry will shift to the production of smaller items, such as bolts and nails, to help aid in reconstruction projects.

The Dufresnes are keen on acquiring their own ore to keep costs low, and most of the land they own is not farming land, but mines. With native Coerthan supplies drying up after a thousand years of war, the house is ever-vigilant for new sources, even those located well outside Ishgard proper. In particular, the recent push for mythril goods has Eliane scrambling to find a private source for her own.

Nearly all Bellworks workers are commoners, and by all reports they are treated fairly. A few younger sons and daughters from allied lower houses assist primarily in more administrative matters, though there's one or two who, like Juleaux, prefer a more hands-on approach instead. Curiously enough, many workers volunteer to undergo training in firearms, and help account for Dufresne's small cadre of men-at-arms. While Dufresne knights are sent wherever House Durendaire needs them, these machinists tend to stay close to home and help to man the walls in the Foundations instead.

==Growing Up==
Eliane Celestine Radelle de Dufresne and her brother, Juleaux, were born on the 22nd sun of the First Umbral Moon, 1554, a late New Year’s gift for a couple who had been trying unsuccessfully for years to conceive. From then on the twins were raised with strict oversight: they were given the best that money could buy, but they were also required to work for it, as Emmereaux and Olivie were ever-wary of the family’s humble roots being forgotten in the thrall of noble luxury. This proved equal parts advantageous and stifling. The twins quickly developed and matured, but they were railroaded into the plans their parents had for them. As they looked more or less identical in their youth, they often traded clothes and identities in order to assert some form of autonomy, each subbing in for something the other would rather not do. At other times, the two would swap identities simply for the sake of mischief and confusion.

Eliane, for her part, was shipped off to the Atheneum Astrologicum as soon as she was old enough to learn, and in her younger days followed closely in her mother’s footsteps. There, she learned reading, [[File: IdealFuture.jpg|thumb|right]]writing, history, arithmetic, and, of course, the path of the Astrologian. It soon became apparent that she shared her mother’s gift for divining the future, if not surpassed it, and might have been at the top of her class had she the motivation for it. As it was, Eliane proved lazy and scatterbrained, and lived out her school days as a perpetual underachiever.

Hours not spent in study were spent with a governess instead. Etiquette lessons were met with fierce resistance (she would have rather been out fencing with her brother), until her first dinner party; afterwards Eliane became enchanted with the courtly world, and fancied herself a princess for the rest of her childhood. She voraciously consumed fairytales and fashion, and grew to love performing in all its various forms.

As Eliane began to move beyond her elementary years, her father began to bring her to the office and the foundry in order to groom her as his heir. He taught her intermediate metallurgy and engineering, and she discovered she had a love for all things clockwork, much as he did, but it was her brother who would ultimately become the specialist in both fields. Eliane’s world instead became one of numbers and politics, as her father showed her all the ins and outs of running a business. By the time she was sixteen, she was even running some daily operations on her own.

Around this time, Emmereaux arranged for Eliane’s betrothal to Etinaud of House Toussaint. Though still a lesser house, House Toussaint was nevertheless larger than House Dufresne and, more importantly, held land that included a mythril mine. Eliane is still yet to make good on the promise, insisting that she is simply too busy with the Bellworks for now – and to some extent that is certainly true.

==Inheritance==
Each time life began to grow routine for the Dufresnes, a Dravanian attack on Ishgard’s walls would inevitably shake it up. The attacks eventually rose enough in frequency that Ishgard isolated itself, and thus the city state found herself in need of every man and woman she could muster. Juleaux and the Bellworks workers began to man the walls more and more, while Eliane and her mother spent more time in observatories attempting to help divine the Horde’s movements. For the first time ever, Eliane began to see friends and coworkers die.

[[File: FallingSnows.jpg|202px|thumb|left]]Like many, Eliane turned to faith for comfort, and began to spend a sliver of time each night at the cathedral praying for her loved ones’ protection. Her sojourns eventually brought her into the acquaintance of an inquisitor named Alvere Renaud, who became a fast – if not unconventional and dangerous – friend. Like Eliane, Alvere needed someone to confide his troubles to discreetly, and to this day the two remain each other’s personal confidants. Whether or not that’s the extent of her relationship with him remains a mystery, and as it is they’re rarely seen together in public.

As things came to a head in 1572, several Bellworks workers whom Eliane knew personally left Ishgard under the pretense of surveying Mor Dhona and instead voluntarily joined the Eorzean Alliance for the Battle of Carteneau. The Calamity left them all either dead or missing in action, and thereafter Coerthas found itself plunged into the depression of perpetual winter.

The months following the flash-freeze saw a spike of desperation and heresy, during which Olivie attempted a forbidden spell to read the memories of a captured heretic leader; the spell backfired and dealt a telling blow to her own mind, and she has slowly been unraveling into dementia ever since. Not two years later, a steam explosion in the Bellworks foundry caused an equipment collapse that left Emmereaux paralyzed from the waist down. Now confined to a wheelchair (which he is determined to somehow automate), Emmereaux decided his close brush with death was a sign to retire and at last handed over the family business in full to his children.

==Present==
While Eliane is now technically the owner of Dufresne Bellworks, she and her brother more or less operate it as equals, with her handling the administration and Jules handling the operations. Recently, Bellworks machinists have made something of a name for themselves after their daring stand during the last attack on Ishgard, having helped man the walls until the collapse in the Brume. With the gates of Isghgard now open, both twins are finding every excuse they can to leave the city, whether that be for business or for pleasure. They’ve even been spotted in the company of the reclusive Aeon mercenaries, suggesting that the two might have picked up adventuring for some inexplicable reason.

Whatever it is the twins are doing, they’re not acting very noble while they’re doing it, and most other Ishgardian houses still do not take House Dufresne seriously, let alone remember it at all.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #6688FF;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Relationships</div>===

==Family==
'''[[Juleaux Dufresne]]''' – There isn’t a soul in the world Eliane isn’t closer to than her own twin brother. Although she’s harsh on him at times and they bicker relatively often, Eliane loves Jules above all else and there’s not a thing in the world she wouldn’t do for him. She is highly protective of her sibling and is quick to visit verbal or even physical harm – even at the cost of her own fingers – upon those who hurt or trouble him.

'''Emmereaux Dufresne (NPC)''' – Eliane’s relationship with her father is mostly formal. He grows more conservative and falls deeper into the culture of nobility the further he ages, and his mounting obsession with tradition was beginning to force some distance between the two until the accident. More recently, however, he and Eliane have begun re-bonding over their shared clockwork hobby, and she has become determined to help him achieve his dream of a self-propelled wheelchair. Emmeraux loves and respects his daughter, and has full confidence that he’s left the family business in good hands.

'''Olivie Dufresne (NPC)''' – Eliane was always close to her mother in her youth, as the two studied Astrology together. Olivie loved to share stories with her and take her sightseeing, and had something of a weakness for spoiling her daughter. Their relationship has since been strained following Olivie’s failed interrogation, however, and Eliane isn’t sure how to feel about – or forgive – her mother using a risky and forbidden spell in so seemingly brash a manner. As Olivie continues to slide further and further into dementia, Eliane finds herself growing less patient and more distant from her – and hates herself for it.

==Friends==
'''[[Arcian Martell]]''' – Arcian was the first “outsider” Eliane met upon Ishgard opening its gates, and she found herself quickly charmed by the Highlander woman. These days Arcian stands as one of Eliane's closest friends and confidants, and Eliane often relies upon Arcian's life experience and relative street smarts to help prevent her from making mistakes in the world beyond Coerthas. Recent events have Eliane keeping Arcian close for some reason, and indeed Arcian appears to have been directly hired by House Dufresne for security purposes.

'''[[Graeham Ridgefield]]''' – A diplomat who as of late has been working closely with House Dufresne to not only improve La Noscean relations with Ishgard, but also to help the Bellworks acquire hard-to-get mining contracts in Vylbrand. Graeham never fails to surprise Eliane in one way or another, and she truly admires him simply for being a good guy. She enjoys picking the youth's mind on a variety of topics, and could simply talk to him about anything for hours. He's become something of her favorite tea partner.

'''[[Martiallais Heuloix]]''' -- No tarot deck could hope to divine a more uncanny destiny than that which has so far unfolded between Eliane and the knight, Ser Martiallais Heuloix. An unlikely meeting progressed into repeated excuses to see one another, and from there, a careful courtship. Well aware of the differences in their social status and cultures (not to mention the technicalities of Eliane's existing betrothal), the two kept their affection for one another largely private until very recently. To those closest to Eliane, it is no secret how deep her love runs for Martiallais, and she is determined to stop at nothing until they can truly be together -- either by elevating him somehow to the nobility, or, if need be, giving it all up to be with him.

'''[[Reima Awen]]''' – Reima and Eliane's friendship runs the gamut of archetypes. Sometimes they sit and gossip over tea; sometimes they share philosophy; sometimes they are confidants; sometimes they share advice; and sometimes, Eliane tutors Reima in the finer points of political games. In general, the two share a love for the finer (and, arguably, girlier) aspects of life, and an almost sisterly trust with one another. For her part, Eliane is quietly determined to one day transform Reima into a proper lady, and would likely shower the poor girl in dresses and jewelry if ever given the chance.

'''Alvere Renaud (NPC)''' – An inquisitor who as of late prefers to travel with Roegadyn bodyguards. The most perplexing thing about Alvere is that nobody has anything to say about him at all, good, ill, or indifferent; its as though most do not even notice his passing. Nevertheless, he and Eliane are often seen in brief conversation during her visits to the Cathedral, and some Dufresne staff speculate that any time she cannot be found, she’s off to visit with him.

==Acquaintances==
'''[[Brave Horizon]]''' -- Eliane is fascinated by the Hellsguard woman, who is the embodiment of everything Ishgardian culture is not. If nothing else, Eliane is hoping to absorb some of Brave's nonchalance by simple proximity.

'''[[Devereau Beauregard]]''' – A man Eliane cannot help but to admire for his sheer beauty. Although she’s a little wary of him due to his complicated relationship with her brother, he’s just so gods-damned ''charming''!

'''[[Grumbling Behemoth]]''' – A bizarre Roegadyn who works for the Skysteel Manufactory. Eliane appears to have him on some sort of contract, the details of which are nebulous at best.

'''[[Kail Gerrad]]''' - A man who Eliane is, for whatever reason, hell-bent on forcing to sit down for tea. He seems to have a knack for bringing out her vulgar side -- such that it is.

'''[[Kyraeth Vale]]''' - A woman Eliane seems to continuously run into in passing. Eliane's been trying to sit down and speak with her properly, knowing she shares a friendship with her brother, but somehow the opportunity is always interrupted.

'''[[Leon Greymoon]]''' – A mysterious miqo’te who helped Eliane and her brother settle into Cliffperch. Eliane knows that anytime anyone needs a helping hand, Leon will likely be there no matter what.

'''[[Striding Oak]]''' – A Hellsguard woman who helped Eliane set up an ‘away’ office in Cliffperch. Once she was settled in, Oak vanished; Eliane wonders what could have happened to make the woman always look so incredibly sad.

'''[[Trisselle Ganathain]]''' - Eliane has only recently come to know Trisselle, mainly through social events. Though she's not yet had the chance to sit down and talk with her properly, Eliane seems to hold a healthy respect for her, and even, it would seem, some inexplicable measure of gratitude.

==Enemies==
'''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' – While the Judge Draco Nobis is not Eliane's enemy in the traditional sense, something appears to have happened recently that has made her avoid the man entirely -- strange, given the tremendous respect she held for him before. Bringing up his name often quickly makes her agitated.

'''House D'Monchette''' - Though so far as anyone can remember there's never been a historical grudge between House Dufresne and House D'Monchette, the former seems to have recently taken poorly to the latter and they are largely not on speaking terms. Whispers from those in the service of House Dufresne say they've heard Baron Emmereaux mutter more than once that he'll see the D'Monchettes destroyed -- though whether that be their reputations, wealth, or lives remains unclear.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #6688FF;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Miscellaneous</div>===

[[File: Cowgirl.jpg|thumb|left|Out on a survey!]]

*It’s decently well-known that Eliane is nearsighted, and yet she’s almost never seen wearing glasses.

*A prank Juleaux pulled on her when they were still young has resulted in her being hard of hearing in her right ear.

*She has a room set aside at home that is filled to the brim with various clockwork gadgets, which she collects obsessively.

*She is known to suffer from migraines, especially if she’s been in study for too long.

*Although she wears earcuffs, they are not for fashion -- close inspection, in fact, will reveal them to be studded with over a dozen different linkpearls. Eliane is constantly wired and in continuous communication, and often lingering near her in a quiet enough place will yield faint snippets of conversation that she's apparently become quite adept at tuning out.

==In Her Satchel==
Unless she knows she’s going on vacation, Eliane usually travels light. At most times she only has a few items on her person:

'''Olivie’s Pendant''': A family heirloom passed down to Eliane from her mother, and to Olivie from her mother. It’s more of a little crystal pendulum on the end of a golden chain – both of obvious Sharlayan [[File: Specs.jpg|thumb|right|Bespectacl’d]]make. Eliane usually keeps it carefully tucked away on her person somewhere, but can occasionally be seen using it in her Astrology.

'''Wire-rimmed glasses''': She always has them on her person, carefully hidden. But she almost never actually wears them.

'''Medicine''': A small bottle of dried, compressed herbs to help with occasional headaches.

'''Deck of cards''': The deck will vary depending on where Ellie is at the time, and sometimes she’ll even carry more than one. She has a tarot deck for reading, a general-purpose Astrologian’s deck, and a custom set of rune-inscribed spell cards for travel. They’re all made of thick, custom hand-pressed cardstock, and are elegantly inked and painted by a clearly skilled artist.

'''Lipstick''': – She is never not wearing lipstick, and in the instance it gets smudged, she’s quick to renew it.

==Frequent Locales==
Predictably, Eliane is most often found in Ishgard. Her work takes her all over the city and there is no part of it she does not visit. She frequently visits the fortresses in the Central and Western Highlands in order to help see to their defenses as well.

She's been seen with increasing frequency in the North Shroud as well, and, should anyone be paying close attention, might see her coming and going from the inn in Foulgourd Float. She appears to be spending the night there more and more often.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #6688FF;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Mounts, Pets, and Companions</div>===
Eliane has three cats, all strays brought in from the streets. More often than not they are left behind at the Dufresne manor, to the mixed delight and chagrin of the servants there. However, one cat, a fat little spotted creature named '''Lune''', is smart and well behaved enough that Eliane will take her out and around at times.

At times, Eliane can be seen caring for '''Lutin''', a tiny owlet that was once her mother’s familiar, but now is often neglected by his former guardian. Lutin often helps her with speed-reading and spellcasting, and like most Sharlayan familiars, is intelligent enough to understand speech.

Every once in a while, she’ll carry off '''Philippe''', a red panda who [[Arcian Martell]] frequently babysits.

'''Brouillard''', a chocobo so-named for his gray coloration, has been with her since she was a child and remains her most trusted transportation for when she needs to travel. As strong and sturdy as any Isgardian-bred steed, there are few places he cannot go.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #6688FF;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Rumors</div>===

<center>[[File:Draco50.png|center|300px|]]</center>
<center>''"“The knight is a man of blood and iron, a man familiar with the sight of smashed faces and the ragged stumps of lopped-off limbs; he is also a demure, almost a maidenlike, guest in hall, a gentle, modest, unobtrusive man. He is not a compromise or happy mean between ferocity and meekness; he is fierce to the nth and meek to the nth.” - C.S. Lewis''</center>

===General===

Draco is a Knight of Eorzea. He holds his duty and honor above most other things, making him a humble and self-sacrificing man. He has fought long and hard for most of his life, watching things he cared about come and go. He desires nothing more than to protect the people he's known for so long. His blade is Blackened with the burdens of Eorzea, and with it he strikes down her foes.

===Name===
:'''Given Name:''' Draco Nobis
:'''Nicknames and Aliases:''' To some he is still known as 'Dartanon', his brother's name. To some civilians, and warriors who have seen him but do not know his name, he is referred to as 'The Judge'. His official title in Ishgard is Arbiter.

===Appearance===

Draco is a Duskwight, with light blue skin and slicked back black hair. Stress and age have grayed him slightly, as well as adding a few wrinkles to his stern face, but his youthfulness still shows. Despite his constant jesting about old age, he hardly looks it. He stands at roughly 6'5", and has a build that could only belong to a Knight. His figure is chiseled and muscular, while maintaining a somewhat slender Elezen build. He used to wear an armor of reinforced steel, but was given a set of modified Garlean Magitek armor recently, and wore it until his capture in Ishgard. After winning his title and freedom back in Trial by Combat, he commissioned a set of Titanium Knight's armor. Finding the armor to be too cumbersome, he switched to a simple tunic over chainmail, with minimal plating on his shoulders and limbs.

===Speech===

Draco speaks in a baritone, his accent being noticeable. He speaks with the refinement and tone of one who was raised in a noble house, as he was. While he carries himself like a Knight, his voice dictates his humility, and even at times his odd sense of humor. His voice often sounds contemplative or serious, when he's around strangers, speaking in short sentences, or lecturing full out. While he doesn't INTEND to be overbearing, he more than often times sticks his own foot in his mouth by debating silly things.

===Behavior===

Draco is chivalrous and polite, and to a certain few he can be quite dashing and charming, however he always prides himself on being proper at all times. Irritating him isn't an easy feat, although argumentative and people who overly enjoy 'fun' tend to grind his nerves. Draco is also cool and calm. His demeanor is gentle and intelligent, making him capable of soothing words, or sharp rebukes. His age brings with him a certain wisdom to life and logic, even if his social skills are lacking in most departments. His chief goal is to protect the ones he cares about. He will even go so far as to sustain injury for a companion, although his tactical mind usually finds a way to get them both out relatively unscathed. Whether it be with his wit or his blade, dueling Draco is always a learning experience.

Draco thinks everyone is capable of good. Even some Garleans. He does what he can to prove it to them. Chief example would be is complicated trials and relationship with Sophia Grave. His stubborn outlook on life often times makes him hard to dissuade or easy to trick. Taking advantage of his optimism is the easiest way to lower his defenses. His social skills are also lacking, when it comes to areas outside of civilized gatherings.

:'''Motivations:''' Helping those in need. He is a knight first and foremost, putting his own desires aside to protect the ones he cares about. There is one person that makes him want to be selfish, though.

:'''Disposition:''' Calm, charming, polite, and usually friendly. He is capable of stern tone, however, and can become short with people who annoy him.

:'''Outlook:''' "Everyone is worth protecting. Even my enemies."

===Positive Personality Traits===

Tactical, confident, intelligent, Polite, eloquent, cultured, protective, sympathetic, and usually keeps calm and collected. Willing to die or sustain injury for those he considers worthy of it.

===Negative Personality Traits===

Stubborn, easily tricked into believing someone is good, can succumb to darkness, has poor social skills in easy going company.

==Combat==

Draco is a knight, therefore he is trained in a several martial practices. He knows how to use a Polearm, Sword and shield combo, or two-handed sword effectively and efficiently. Due to training post-Calamity, he is proficient in hand ti hand combat, light blades such as daggers, and firearms as well. Draco prefers his longsword over anything, and is more likely to start with it. The agility and maneuverability of the sword suit his purposes better, for quickly defeating a foe. His hand to hand combat is improving through practice, but compared to a full fledged monk or pugilist, he is rather lacking. His physical strength easily exceeds that of a regular Elezen, while allowing him to keep most of the same agility. Heavy armor often times slows him down however. He prefers to fight without a shield, so he has to compensate by dodging or forgoing offense to avoid injury. His offense is quick, intent on destroying or disarming his opponent, before they can slip past his guard.

===Primary Weaponry===
:* [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Mailbreaker A Mailbreaker longsword] forged by a friend of [[Sophia Grave]]'s, and modified for Draco's two handed style.

:* "Oblivion," a great sword named after the corruption Draco used to hold, and a constant reminder of what he could have become. He rarely draws Oblivion from it's scabbard, and will instead fight with it sheathed. The blade is black.

:* "The Black Blade," A longsword stained by the ashes of his guilt, the blade is black like Oblivion's, and was recently replaced by the Mailbreaker. He keeps it on hand for ceremonial purposes.

:* "Yami," A Katana forged by [[Yuki Kurenai]]. Draco isn't really trained to use Katanas, so it's a backup weapon at the moment.

:* The Darkness. Draco draws his dark power from a type of aether corruption. Despite original speculations, it is not tied to the void. Instead, it appears elemental in nature, feeding on negative energy or powerful violent energies. He manipulates it with his desire to protect, at any cost. It grants him several abilities.

===Darkness===

Draco's Dark Aether allow him to do certain things as a Dark Knight. His current list of powers is as such.

*:'''Dark Fire/Firaga''': A darker and corrupt version of Fire. It's burn isn't as bad as it's impact, however, as it generates more of a small explosion than any actual flames. Draco can change the intensity to certain levels, but usually goes all out to eliminate the target.

*:'''Dark Blizzard/Blizzaga''': A corrupted version of Blizzard. Draco usually uses it on the ground, to cause jagged spikes of dark ice to rise up and pierce his targets. He can also use it to freeze an enemy. While generally more dangerous than a blizzard attack, and spreading over a larger area, the spell cannot be directed especially well. Where the spikes point is often times random. This makes Draco use it more as a barrier than anything else.

*:'''Dark Thunder''': Generally the weakest of Draco's attacks. It carries the same properties of a regular Thunder spell, with amplified juice from the corruption. Dart will rarely use it.

*:'''Dark Shield''': A corrupted version of Protect/Reflect. It forms a shield in front of, or around, Draco to protect him from oncoming attacks. It's rather strong, and can take a lot of punishment. However, it cannot be spread to others and he cannot move while it is up. The only way it can give benefit to others, is if they're standing very close to Draco as he casts it.

*:'''Gravity''': A magic spell that releases an orb of Aether that increases the gravity of the area it consumes. It generally is used to force people to submit, as it only causes discomfort from the added weight.

*:'''Eruption''': A Dark Fire based attack. It comes in two varieties. Draco can launch small spheres of Dark Fire in an arc in front of him, then rapidly detonate them to cause damage over a wide area. They're easy to see coming, and easy to dodge if the person is capable. They can also be reflected back at Draco, if the person is capable of doing so. The second method is focusing the corrupted Aether into his arm or hand and getting close to his target. It carries the force of one of the explosive Firagas, and condenses in his hand before exploding outward in a cone. The downside being, it will damage Draco as well.

*:'''Nightmare''': A dark version of sleep. When cast, it sends out a massive wave of 'Sleep', sending the target(s) into a state of haunting slumber. It brings forth their fears as they sleep, weakening them and making them harder to wake. The downside being, the wave has to make contact with the target, and can be countered with magic. Casting a standard sleep spell on the target, then waking them can negate it as well. If the person has no current fears, it can't enact nightmares.

*:'''Dark Corridor''': Much like a hole to the void, Draco can open gateways to other locations. It requires him to have some sort of connection with the location however, such as having been there or being able to see it physically. Leaving behind traces of his corruption, or having someone that he can connect to makes it easier. Doing this used to be very taxing on Draco, but he's now able to do it freely in short bursts. However, if he abuses it and opens Corridors frequently, it will more often than not make him unable to move after the casting. If there's no connection to link a Corridor to, Draco can force them open and drop himself, or someone else through. It will expend most of his Aether to do so, and is ill advised.

*:'''Aetherial Armor''': Draco concentrates almost all of his aether to the outside of his body, forming armor that amplifies his strength and durability. He's powerful while using it, but also more volatile, sacrificing focus and reasoning for rage and strength. The armor can only be sustained for a limited amount of time, and once dropped, will disperse all the aether used to create it. This leaves Draco in a vulnerable state, as he's left with barely enough aether to remain conscious. This move, if used at all, will only be used as a last resort. To a smaller degree, he can use a small amount of Aether to create a mask over his face, which he does almost every day. Unlike the armor, it only provides some protection to his face and doesn't amplify anything aside from sight.

==History==
===Family===

Draco was born to Tavus Nobis, and Jennete Nobis. An Duskwight and Wildwood pair that originated in Ishgard. Tavus had befriended an Elezen noble, after marrying Jenette but before Draco and his older brother were born, and they both decided to leave the strict land of Ishgard. The Elezen Lord and Tavus had a secret, however, that Draco to this day is trying to determine. They gathered volunteers in Gridania, and settled in a remote area. They created a small Fiefdom, naming their own Knights and nobility. It took effort, but they were eventually recognized as a noble house, and left well enough alone. When Dartanon and Draco were born, their father already had their life planned out for them. Dartanon, being the eldest, was trained from an early age to be a Knight. Lessons in etiquette, swordplay, tactics, and culture were pumped into his brain, much to Draco's displeasure. The younger brother took it upon himself to try and help Dartanon have fun, taking him out to have 'adventures', which mainly just involved getting in trouble. However, Tavus quickly straightened it out by increasing the intensity of Dart's Knight training, and beginning training for the reluctant Draco. There was only one path laid out for the boys, in the eyes of their father. The path of a soldier.

Years passed, and Draco and his brother grew apart as Dart became a somewhat cold and harsh warrior. He paid little mind to anything other than his honor and legacy, looking down on anyone that wasn't himself or his father. Unfortunately, this included his younger brother. Over the years, Draco attempted to run away on more than one occasion. However, on his last attempt, his mother stopped him and gave him a small story book. It told stories of Knights of legend. Draco latched onto these stories and aspired to be like those Knights. He took to his training and soon surpassed Dartanon, much to his father and brother's dismay. At the age of twenty and eighteen, Dartanon andd Draco were finally knighted, taking upon themselves their swords and it's oaths. The ceremony felt pointless though. All it meant to Draco was, he was one step closer to his goal. He wasn't doing this for his father. The years continued and the tension between the two brothers was growing. Something had happened to Draco, spurring a Darkness to fester in his soul. He and Dartanon ended up getting into fights, resulting in minor injuries and scars to both of them. Seeing this, their mother decided it'd be best for the two to stay as far apart as possible.

When the Garleans invaded, Draco, Dartanon, and the knights of their home were sent out with Gridanian forces to combat them. It was a long campaign for the Elezen brothers, causing more stress between them. Draco valued the lives of his men more than victory, while Dartanon viewed the soldiers as fodder to throw at the enemy until one side collapsed, like tools to cast into battle. This all culminated to one final moment the two brothers shared. Dartanon had discovered a Garlean artillery unit that was threatening to collapse a flank. He ordered Draco to take his men and join Dartanon on a charge to crush it head on. Draco, however, wanted to flank around the guns and take them out. It would take a little longer, but it'd minimize casualties for their men. Dartanon argued and demanded it be done his way before going off to lead the charge. Draco, angered by his brother's stubbornness, decided to do his own plan. He led his soldiers around, abandoning Dartanon as the older brother charged the Garlean forces. When Draco returned from destroying the artillery unit, he came across the corpses of his brother's unit. Horrified, Draco went to see if he could find his brother, Dartanon. Laying in the dirt, barely clinging to life, was the older Knight. Draco ran to him and tried to get him back to camp, but it was too late. With his dying breath, Dartanon cursed Draco's name and blamed him for the death that had just happened. While part of Draco knew he would have shared Dartanon's fate had he joined him on this charge, the guilt was overriding his logic. Torn apart by grief, the darkness festered more and latched onto his now broken soul. Draco had to do something though. The men wouldn't answer to him, at least not all of them. They needed Dartanon. Steeling his resolve, he came to one conclusion. As penance and punishment, Draco would die on this field. He took his brother's armor and helmet, donning them and returning to camp to lead his men under the guise of his brother. He was no longer Draco. Now HE was Dartanon.

When Dalamud fell, Draco's Knight order was in shambles, only a handful having survived. He led these survivors back, as well as the wrapped body of his brother, to his home only to find it too was in ruins and its inhabitants dead. Sorrow seemed permanently latched to Draco's life. With no family, and no home, he disbanded his knights to set out into Eorzea. He'd do what he could to help rebuild this once great nation, as penance for his sins. If one Nobis was left standing, he wanted it to be the hero 'Dartanon'. He'd just have to live as someone he wasn't.

==Recent Events==

===Black Blade Arc===

When everything in Eorzea was mostly restored, Draco slowed down in his adventures. He had just turned 38, and wasn't exactly full of his youthful energy. He met several groups, and helped them out as they needed it, but mostly kept to himself. Only a few people, he kept in constant contact with. Val Nunh, Faye Covington, Jethas Zykyri, and oddly enough Sophia Grave. His meeting with the Garlean wasn't the most...productive. It resulted in him being stabbed, but he got a good look at the kind of person she was. He was intrigued, finding someone so much like himself. He was determined to 'save' her from her Garlean ways, but eventually found himself falling for her. Unfortunately, fate had a funny way of working out. When the company Draco was in, at the time, disbanded, he started wandering once more. He figured it'd be better for everyone. When he eventually did return...His friends showed him just how much they missed him, with affectionate slaps, punches, and calling him 'stupid for thinking that way'. It was a good day.

Draco retired from the wandering Knight business, for a time. He figured he might as well try to stay in contact with these people, since they were so determined to keep him around. He was growing closer to Jethas and Sophia, one which he viewed as a brother, and the other which he was falling harder for. Just when things started looking up, Fate decided to intervene again when the Darkness began to stir in him, developing it's own self. It became an everlasting presence in him, trying to rob control from the Knight. Draco figured he was strong enough to overcome it. He started medling in Black Magic, but found himself overwhelmed. When a strong burst of anger caused Draco to lose control, he had to flee once more. He was afraid he might hurt the ones he cared about. When Draco returned, he was surprised to find a repeat of his last welcome home. He had honestly thought he was forgotten. Draco decided to stay again, hopefully for good this time, relying on his friends to help him if he lost his way again.

Things with Sophia began developing quicker, once Draco returned. Confessing his feelings, with some awkward help from Val Nunh, was very difficult, but eventually he managed to do it. He was happy to find them returned, and endeavored to make the most of things, despite their differences in allegiance. It wasn't long before Draco found himself somewhat alone in Eorzea, though. Val and Faye were warry of him, now that he was with Sophia, and Jethas had his own issues to solve. After some convincing, Draco agreed to become Sophia's partner and help her with her Garlean tasks. He refuses to swear loyalty the Garleans, but he will do whatever it takes to protect Sophia. Even if things have been rough, for them, he is stubborn and determined. A few incidents with the Darkness rising up seems to be setting the course...It will have to be dealt with soon.

===Branded Arc===

Draco spent most of his time with Sophia after his return. From her, he learned about the Branded residents of Cliffperch. While his initial reception was met with caution and distrust, he remained as the volunteer guard outside the gate to the house. He had no shard, and thus wasn't allowed INTO the house, but he met several of the Aeon Branded through his partner. For several days, Draco observed and protected the people of Cliffperch, almost jumping on the chance to be active again. Sitting in a bar was no place for a Knight, for the rest of his life. While there were a few bumps in his stay, including an altercation between Draco and the young woman Zuri Bacchus over the Elezen's partner, and a temporary loss of control with the Darkness, Draco felt happy and alive. He had people to protect once more, that he felt needed it.

Draco found himself increasingly intrigued by the shards that allowed the Branded to communicate. He tried to gather information on it, but his skills in passive interrogation were...lacking. Deciding to give up for a little, Draco made a trip back through Thanalan towads Ul'dah proper. His Darkness was suppressed by a tonic Sophia had made, so he took advantage of the time to get some training in. As he ventured, he came across a man being attacked by bandits. Draco tried his best to save the man, but unfortunately the traveler's wounds were too great, and Draco was no healer. The man died shortly after the bandit were dispatched. Unbeknownst to Draco, the dead traveler was branded, and his shard had jumped to the nearest host. With a shard now in his body, Draco returned to Cliffperch, blissfully unaware.

The Darkness, in its weakened state, noticed the link first and hid it from Draco, making sure the knight couldn't use it clearly yet. It used the link to examine several people. When Draco assisted Varus in collecting shards and a demonic power, the Darkness was forcefully stirred awake, beginning to slowly gain power again. This activated Draco's rune, and allowed him to hear the link, although the Darkness made it difficult. Through the activation of his shard, Draco was allowed into Cliffperch. Surprisingly, Zuri was the one to help him with it, and tell him what to do. Through their talks, they both realised that Draco's Ishgardian mother was Zuri's aunt. Draco was effectively in a light daze. Over a short time, he discovered a surviving family member, and gained a deeper connection to others. How this would effect him remains unknown.

===What Once Was Arc===

Draco revealed to the others his past and who he really was, giving up the name Dartanon and letting his brother finally rest in entirety. With the help of Zuri, Sophia, and Flickering Ember, Oblivion was defeated and Draco's soul was re-united. He was in full control of the Darkness in him, now. However, the task awoke memories in Draco that hinted to the source of his dark powers. Originally, he would have let it go, but he felt like the mystery of his darkness was still a burden on others. He decided to leave Cliffperch until he could solve the mystery of his family, the Lord they served, and his own corruption. He resides now in Coerthas, staying with a friend of his that had gone through something similar with void corruption. Together, they hunt for answers.

Draco acts now as a wandering Knight again, searching across Eorzea for answers. Wearing modified Garlean armor, given to him by Liliana, and a mask to hide his face, he seeks to use his powers to protect the people of Eorzea once more. He was planning on assisting Lacey Orwell with a mission she was putting together, but she had set off without him. He followed her in secret, to a location with Garlean supplies she was trying to secure. He intercepted a Garlean squad moving to reinforce the scientist and his men, when Lacey and her friends attacked. After a battle, he had to kill all the Garleans that he engaged, before leaving. He worries now that it may have a negative outcome, but he'd set on a path he couldn't come back from. He was beginning to understand that sometimes in battle...he couldn't spare his enemy.

After a few moons of searching, Draco's attentions were drawn back home to Cliffperch and Aeon. With the return of Varus, Draco dedicated himself to once more defending the Branded, putting his own quest for answers aside. Once Varus was defeated, Draco grew close to a young woman named Reima Awen and decided to stay at Cliffperch. He trains some of the Branded in martial combat, and safeguarding them. Entudenin and Garlean attacks on his companions force him to remain where he is, but growing fires in Ishgard threaten to draw Draco back North.

==Relationships==
===Enemies===

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Sophia Grave]]''' - A young Ul'dahn woman with a rather charming appearance and mannerisms. While a woman of many secrets, and formerly an enemy of the Elezen Knight, Sophia grave found a way into his heart. While he is afraid to openly admit to her, he cares for her greatly. His urge to protect her is greater than most. Their first interactions together were...violent. She stabbed him, put simply. But once they fought with their wits, instead of their swords, they realized they were more like each other than they thought. Over time, Draco fell harder for Sophia and eventually confessed his affections. They became partners and lovers, working together for a common goal of peace against the Primals and war. In recent events, Draco's war on the Garleans that kidnapped and experimented on Eorzean civilians, drove a wedge between Draco and Sophia. After catching her in the act of breaking into a comrade's room, he spoke to her in Ul'dah, and they went their separate ways as unfortunate enemies. While Draco once more hardens his resolve to protect his people, he doubts he'd be able to bring himself to fully confront his once lover. Deep in his mind, he still cares for the Garlean, and wishes the outcome had been different.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zaius Rhal'seer]]''' - A Miqo'te pit fighter who has a vicious blood lust and murderous tendencies. Draco and Zaius used to be allied under the same banner, when Zaius was Branded, but when Zaius left to pursue his own agenda, Draco quickly saw that the other Miqo'te was a danger. His violent urges and eager acceptance of violence turns the Knight away from the pit fighter. Draco believes that if Zaius fights him, one of them will have to die. He attempted once to quickly end Zaius with a revolver shot to the head, but failed.

Over time, Draco began to respect Faye. She carried herself with grace, at least from what he had seen, and her care and affection for her mate inspired him. He soon found himself visiting them more frequently, and even saved their lives from a Garlean ambush in the forest. He considers Faye another one of his true friends.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Val Nunh]]''' - Val Nunh and Draco had a rough start. They met by fighting, Draco receiving an injury. Neither warrior saw eye to eye after that, constantly being wary around the other, whether it was Val's thuggish attitude, or Draco's open distaste for it. Eventually, as it happened with Faye Covington, Draco soon began to respect the Miqo'te bodyguard. Val showed the utmost loyalty, and flat out love for Faye. Draco soon saw that the Miqo'te wasn't nearly as bad and untrustworthy as he had thought. He even attempted to help him become more 'Knightly' and chivalrous for Faye...but that didn't quite work. While Val's mannerism's changed slightly, he still carried that manner of speech that drove Draco up the wall.

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Augustine Frost]]''' - Augustine was a Mercenary that met Draco in one of the most...bizarre ways. While Draco was conversing with an Elezen woman, Augustine just walked up and complimented her legs. Thinking that Augustine was a poor lovestruck man in need of courting advice, Draco befriended him and tried to help him get with the Elezen, Tassine. However, their relationship didn't work in the end. Draco and Augustine don't see each other as frequently, but they do converse now and again.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Tassine Gouvieux]]''' - An elegant and beautiful Elezen. She is a woman of high standing, and one that easily earned the admiration and respect of Draco. While his meeting with her wasn't exactly at a noble gathering, it was enjoyable. He doesn't get to see her as often as he wishes, but he tries to keep in contact and offer assistance when he can.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Liliana Nazareth]]''' - A kind and lovely Sharlayan woman that Draco met on pure chance. He had been there when [[Paradyme Capellago]] pulled her from the void. He had tried to remove her corruption, but had failed. A long time later, and he was present to help her give birth to her daughter, Dawn, along with Sophia Grave and her brother, with a Doman girl there as well. He hadn't seen her again for some time until he encountered her in Coerthas, after her breakup with Paradyme. He comforted her as best he could, going out to visit her when he could since he could sympathize with her plight. At the moment, he stays in her home in Coerthas, helping watch out for her children and to make sure she's safe. He also uses her home as a forward base in Coerthas, for his investigation into his family's past. Once he had earned the name 'Judge' he left her home in Coerthas, so he wouldn't be in her way any longer. He watches over her and her children in secret, although he finds himself leaving her be in the wake of her wedding with Paradyme.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zaku Paku]]''' - At the moment Draco and Zaku, also known as Zaku Degenwulf, are not on good terms. Neither trusts the others, and Draco doesn't believe their relationship can be mended anymore. When Draco first joined Aeon, Zaku was the first to welcome and greet him. When the Lalafel became a Highlander, he changed. In Draco's opinion, it was for the worse. Zaku's temper and berserk tendencies matched Draco's, when he was under the influence of Oblivion. It worries him. Because of Zaku's quick rise to violence, Draco watches him with caution. He's prepared to fight if he has to.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Lacey Orwell]]''' - Lacey and Draco didn't exactly hang out all that much, but he would consider her a friend. He met her after the 'death' of Varus, as she was one of his agents. She tried to get close to Zaku, for information from the Flames. Draco was suspicious of her at first, but didn't approve of either her methods or Zaku's once he caught on. When she denounced her ties to Varus, she joined Aeon, where Draco tried to help her settle. The Ex-Garlean Agent then tried to mend Draco's relationship with Zaku, but it didn't end well. Lacey worked with and assisted Draco a few times before departing from Aeon.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Hotaru Gin]]''' - Gin met Draco under odd circumstances. She had met him through Sebastian Grave, Sophia's brother, in Ul'dah. They met with Liliana and her at-the-time boyfriend Paradyme, and just happened to be there when the Sharlayan went into labor. Gin helped deliver the baby, and Draco was forced to watch...it was terrible. After that, Draco encountered Gin multiple times, and did what he could to find her when she was captured by a Garlean agent. He wasn't the one to rescue her, but he acted as her confidante before and after the rescue. They both shared secrets, and grew closer. Draco considers her a close friend, despite some of their differing opinions, and would aid her where he could.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Lanza Razaul]]''' - Not much can be said for the relationship between Lanza and Draco, aside from the fact that both parties do not like each other in the slightest. Lanza seems intent on fighting Draco to the death. Draco was originally out for Lanza's blood, after he thought the lancer had murdered Liliana. However, after learning that it was on Liliana's request, and after [[C'eleni Meztli]] pleaded for Lanza's life, Draco decided to call off his mission of vengeance. Lanza, however, is adamant that the two will fight. Draco killed Lanza in self defense some time back.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Rukira Michaelis]]''' - Rukira was one of Draco's enemies originally, the right hand woman to Varus Rosenthal. After the first Varus crisis ended, Draco came into an uneasy understanding with the blonde woman. She didn't cause much trouble, and the two talked calmly once and again, a strange respect between the two warriors. However, when she resurfaced again, once more doing the bidding of Varus and working along Zaius to attack X'Septha, Draco had to fight her. After the battle, he recieved a strange note asking him to meet her somewhere. He didn't know who had sent the note originally, but when he went to the location, he discovered Rukira wanted one last fight. A duel to the death. Draco obliged and slew her after a battle. She thanked him with her dying breath, and he buried her in his old home.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Reima Awen]]''' - Draco had recovered the young Hyuran woman when her brand had awoken, and she as discovered on the link. He explained to her the situation and took her to Cliffperch, before returning to Ishgard. He hadn't thought much of her at the time, so he put her out of his mind. When he returned Cliffperch, he met her once again and she quickly offered him a pillar to lean on with his burdens. Over talks and spending time together, Draco quickly discovered he was becoming infatuated. After Sophia and he split up, he was almost too welcoming of the attention, but didn't press after it immediately. He decided to spend more time with Reima, teaching her swordplay and fencing, as well as playing music for her and offering his ear for her worries as she did for him. When he felt the time was right, he confessed his feelings to her and the two began courting.

::* "Dart can be a bit of a fool at times, and can do things that annoy the hells out of you, but he's always had a good heart, and he's one of those types you know you can count on." - [[Jethas Zykyri]]

::* "Ser Nobis is always so serious and staunch, it's almost as if smiling would kill him." - [[C'eleni Meztli]]

::* "Ser Draco is an exemplar of what a true knight is, and I forever will strive to catch up to him, but I am fairly sure that will never happen.

::* "I wish not to speak of him, yet let it be known that there is much more to him than meets the eye. Remain on guard in his presence for it is often our 'heroes' who fall the furthest."- [[Graeham Ridgefield]]

==History/Timeline==

TBA

==Affiliations==

Draco was a knight to an Elezen house before the Calamity. Afterwards, he wandered Eorzea as a Mercenary Knight, in league with the Mercenary Guilds. From there, he joined the Phoenix Collective, a Free Company led by the twins Dirosei and Azreyal. He never quite fit in, so he still worked by himself when he could. He decided to leave one day, and returned to find the company gone. His old friend Jethas had started his own with another former member, the Order of the Ravenstar. Draco decided to stay with him for the time being, joining up to protect his friends once more. When he lost control of the Darkness within him, Draco fled and broke ties with the Ravenstar. When he returned, he reunited with Sophia and began voluntarily guarding her and her free company. He works to protect the Branded of Aeon, unknowingly sharing more with them than he realized.

==OOC Information==

-Draco is no longer on good terms with the Garlean Empire, and is employed in fighting against them again.
-Draco openly uses his Darkness now that Oblivion has been defeated, employing his abilities to help protect people.

<center>[[File:Draco50.png|center|300px|]]</center>
<center>''"“The knight is a man of blood and iron, a man familiar with the sight of smashed faces and the ragged stumps of lopped-off limbs; he is also a demure, almost a maidenlike, guest in hall, a gentle, modest, unobtrusive man. He is not a compromise or happy mean between ferocity and meekness; he is fierce to the nth and meek to the nth.” - C.S. Lewis''</center>

===General===

Draco is a Knight of Eorzea. He holds his duty and honor above most other things, making him a humble and self-sacrificing man. He has fought long and hard for most of his life, watching things he cared about come and go. He desires nothing more than to protect the people he's known for so long. His blade is Blackened with the burdens of Eorzea, and with it he strikes down her foes.

===Name===
:'''Given Name:''' Draco Nobis
:'''Nicknames and Aliases:''' To some he is still known as 'Dartanon', his brother's name. To some civilians, and warriors who have seen him but do not know his name, he is referred to as 'The Judge'. His official title in Ishgard is Arbiter.

===Appearance===

Draco is a Duskwight, with light blue skin and slicked back black hair. Stress and age have grayed him slightly, as well as adding a few wrinkles to his stern face, but his youthfulness still shows. Despite his constant jesting about old age, he hardly looks it. He stands at roughly 6'5", and has a build that could only belong to a Knight. His figure is chiseled and muscular, while maintaining a somewhat slender Elezen build. He used to wear an armor of reinforced steel, but was given a set of modified Garlean Magitek armor recently, and wore it until his capture in Ishgard. After winning his title and freedom back in Trial by Combat, he commissioned a set of Titanium Knight's armor. Finding the armor to be too cumbersome, he switched to a simple tunic over chainmail, with minimal plating on his shoulders and limbs.

===Speech===

Draco speaks in a baritone, his accent being noticeable. He speaks with the refinement and tone of one who was raised in a noble house, as he was. While he carries himself like a Knight, his voice dictates his humility, and even at times his odd sense of humor. His voice often sounds contemplative or serious, when he's around strangers, speaking in short sentences, or lecturing full out. While he doesn't INTEND to be overbearing, he more than often times sticks his own foot in his mouth by debating silly things.

===Behavior===

Draco is chivalrous and polite, and to a certain few he can be quite dashing and charming, however he always prides himself on being proper at all times. Irritating him isn't an easy feat, although argumentative and people who overly enjoy 'fun' tend to grind his nerves. Draco is also cool and calm. His demeanor is gentle and intelligent, making him capable of soothing words, or sharp rebukes. His age brings with him a certain wisdom to life and logic, even if his social skills are lacking in most departments. His chief goal is to protect the ones he cares about. He will even go so far as to sustain injury for a companion, although his tactical mind usually finds a way to get them both out relatively unscathed. Whether it be with his wit or his blade, dueling Draco is always a learning experience.

Draco thinks everyone is capable of good. Even some Garleans. He does what he can to prove it to them. Chief example would be is complicated trials and relationship with Sophia Grave. His stubborn outlook on life often times makes him hard to dissuade or easy to trick. Taking advantage of his optimism is the easiest way to lower his defenses. His social skills are also lacking, when it comes to areas outside of civilized gatherings.

:'''Motivations:''' Helping those in need. He is a knight first and foremost, putting his own desires aside to protect the ones he cares about. There is one person that makes him want to be selfish, though.

:'''Disposition:''' Calm, charming, polite, and usually friendly. He is capable of stern tone, however, and can become short with people who annoy him.

:'''Outlook:''' "Everyone is worth protecting. Even my enemies."

===Positive Personality Traits===

Tactical, confident, intelligent, Polite, eloquent, cultured, protective, sympathetic, and usually keeps calm and collected. Willing to die or sustain injury for those he considers worthy of it.

===Negative Personality Traits===

Stubborn, easily tricked into believing someone is good, can succumb to darkness, has poor social skills in easy going company.

==Combat==

Draco is a knight, therefore he is trained in a several martial practices. He knows how to use a Polearm, Sword and shield combo, or two-handed sword effectively and efficiently. Due to training post-Calamity, he is proficient in hand ti hand combat, light blades such as daggers, and firearms as well. Draco prefers his longsword over anything, and is more likely to start with it. The agility and maneuverability of the sword suit his purposes better, for quickly defeating a foe. His hand to hand combat is improving through practice, but compared to a full fledged monk or pugilist, he is rather lacking. His physical strength easily exceeds that of a regular Elezen, while allowing him to keep most of the same agility. Heavy armor often times slows him down however. He prefers to fight without a shield, so he has to compensate by dodging or forgoing offense to avoid injury. His offense is quick, intent on destroying or disarming his opponent, before they can slip past his guard.

===Primary Weaponry===
:* [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Mailbreaker A Mailbreaker longsword] forged by a friend of [[Sophia Grave]]'s, and modified for Draco's two handed style.

:* "Oblivion," a great sword named after the corruption Draco used to hold, and a constant reminder of what he could have become. He rarely draws Oblivion from it's scabbard, and will instead fight with it sheathed. The blade is black.

:* "The Black Blade," A longsword stained by the ashes of his guilt, the blade is black like Oblivion's, and was recently replaced by the Mailbreaker. He keeps it on hand for ceremonial purposes.

:* "Yami," A Katana forged by [[Yuki Kurenai]]. Draco isn't really trained to use Katanas, so it's a backup weapon at the moment.

:* The Darkness. Draco draws his dark power from a type of aether corruption. Despite original speculations, it is not tied to the void. Instead, it appears elemental in nature, feeding on negative energy or powerful violent energies. He manipulates it with his desire to protect, at any cost. It grants him several abilities.

===Darkness===

Draco's Dark Aether allow him to do certain things as a Dark Knight. His current list of powers is as such.

*:'''Dark Fire/Firaga''': A darker and corrupt version of Fire. It's burn isn't as bad as it's impact, however, as it generates more of a small explosion than any actual flames. Draco can change the intensity to certain levels, but usually goes all out to eliminate the target.

*:'''Dark Blizzard/Blizzaga''': A corrupted version of Blizzard. Draco usually uses it on the ground, to cause jagged spikes of dark ice to rise up and pierce his targets. He can also use it to freeze an enemy. While generally more dangerous than a blizzard attack, and spreading over a larger area, the spell cannot be directed especially well. Where the spikes point is often times random. This makes Draco use it more as a barrier than anything else.

*:'''Dark Thunder''': Generally the weakest of Draco's attacks. It carries the same properties of a regular Thunder spell, with amplified juice from the corruption. Dart will rarely use it.

*:'''Dark Shield''': A corrupted version of Protect/Reflect. It forms a shield in front of, or around, Draco to protect him from oncoming attacks. It's rather strong, and can take a lot of punishment. However, it cannot be spread to others and he cannot move while it is up. The only way it can give benefit to others, is if they're standing very close to Draco as he casts it.

*:'''Gravity''': A magic spell that releases an orb of Aether that increases the gravity of the area it consumes. It generally is used to force people to submit, as it only causes discomfort from the added weight.

*:'''Eruption''': A Dark Fire based attack. It comes in two varieties. Draco can launch small spheres of Dark Fire in an arc in front of him, then rapidly detonate them to cause damage over a wide area. They're easy to see coming, and easy to dodge if the person is capable. They can also be reflected back at Draco, if the person is capable of doing so. The second method is focusing the corrupted Aether into his arm or hand and getting close to his target. It carries the force of one of the explosive Firagas, and condenses in his hand before exploding outward in a cone. The downside being, it will damage Draco as well.

*:'''Nightmare''': A dark version of sleep. When cast, it sends out a massive wave of 'Sleep', sending the target(s) into a state of haunting slumber. It brings forth their fears as they sleep, weakening them and making them harder to wake. The downside being, the wave has to make contact with the target, and can be countered with magic. Casting a standard sleep spell on the target, then waking them can negate it as well. If the person has no current fears, it can't enact nightmares.

*:'''Dark Corridor''': Much like a hole to the void, Draco can open gateways to other locations. It requires him to have some sort of connection with the location however, such as having been there or being able to see it physically. Leaving behind traces of his corruption, or having someone that he can connect to makes it easier. Doing this used to be very taxing on Draco, but he's now able to do it freely in short bursts. However, if he abuses it and opens Corridors frequently, it will more often than not make him unable to move after the casting. If there's no connection to link a Corridor to, Draco can force them open and drop himself, or someone else through. It will expend most of his Aether to do so, and is ill advised.

*:'''Aetherial Armor''': Draco concentrates almost all of his aether to the outside of his body, forming armor that amplifies his strength and durability. He's powerful while using it, but also more volatile, sacrificing focus and reasoning for rage and strength. The armor can only be sustained for a limited amount of time, and once dropped, will disperse all the aether used to create it. This leaves Draco in a vulnerable state, as he's left with barely enough aether to remain conscious. This move, if used at all, will only be used as a last resort. To a smaller degree, he can use a small amount of Aether to create a mask over his face, which he does almost every day. Unlike the armor, it only provides some protection to his face and doesn't amplify anything aside from sight.

==History==
===Family===

Draco was born to Tavus Nobis, and Jennete Nobis. An Duskwight and Wildwood pair that originated in Ishgard. Tavus had befriended an Elezen noble, after marrying Jenette but before Draco and his older brother were born, and they both decided to leave the strict land of Ishgard. The Elezen Lord and Tavus had a secret, however, that Draco to this day is trying to determine. They gathered volunteers in Gridania, and settled in a remote area. They created a small Fiefdom, naming their own Knights and nobility. It took effort, but they were eventually recognized as a noble house, and left well enough alone. When Dartanon and Draco were born, their father already had their life planned out for them. Dartanon, being the eldest, was trained from an early age to be a Knight. Lessons in etiquette, swordplay, tactics, and culture were pumped into his brain, much to Draco's displeasure. The younger brother took it upon himself to try and help Dartanon have fun, taking him out to have 'adventures', which mainly just involved getting in trouble. However, Tavus quickly straightened it out by increasing the intensity of Dart's Knight training, and beginning training for the reluctant Draco. There was only one path laid out for the boys, in the eyes of their father. The path of a soldier.

Years passed, and Draco and his brother grew apart as Dart became a somewhat cold and harsh warrior. He paid little mind to anything other than his honor and legacy, looking down on anyone that wasn't himself or his father. Unfortunately, this included his younger brother. Over the years, Draco attempted to run away on more than one occasion. However, on his last attempt, his mother stopped him and gave him a small story book. It told stories of Knights of legend. Draco latched onto these stories and aspired to be like those Knights. He took to his training and soon surpassed Dartanon, much to his father and brother's dismay. At the age of twenty and eighteen, Dartanon andd Draco were finally knighted, taking upon themselves their swords and it's oaths. The ceremony felt pointless though. All it meant to Draco was, he was one step closer to his goal. He wasn't doing this for his father. The years continued and the tension between the two brothers was growing. Something had happened to Draco, spurring a Darkness to fester in his soul. He and Dartanon ended up getting into fights, resulting in minor injuries and scars to both of them. Seeing this, their mother decided it'd be best for the two to stay as far apart as possible.

When the Garleans invaded, Draco, Dartanon, and the knights of their home were sent out with Gridanian forces to combat them. It was a long campaign for the Elezen brothers, causing more stress between them. Draco valued the lives of his men more than victory, while Dartanon viewed the soldiers as fodder to throw at the enemy until one side collapsed, like tools to cast into battle. This all culminated to one final moment the two brothers shared. Dartanon had discovered a Garlean artillery unit that was threatening to collapse a flank. He ordered Draco to take his men and join Dartanon on a charge to crush it head on. Draco, however, wanted to flank around the guns and take them out. It would take a little longer, but it'd minimize casualties for their men. Dartanon argued and demanded it be done his way before going off to lead the charge. Draco, angered by his brother's stubbornness, decided to do his own plan. He led his soldiers around, abandoning Dartanon as the older brother charged the Garlean forces. When Draco returned from destroying the artillery unit, he came across the corpses of his brother's unit. Horrified, Draco went to see if he could find his brother, Dartanon. Laying in the dirt, barely clinging to life, was the older Knight. Draco ran to him and tried to get him back to camp, but it was too late. With his dying breath, Dartanon cursed Draco's name and blamed him for the death that had just happened. While part of Draco knew he would have shared Dartanon's fate had he joined him on this charge, the guilt was overriding his logic. Torn apart by grief, the darkness festered more and latched onto his now broken soul. Draco had to do something though. The men wouldn't answer to him, at least not all of them. They needed Dartanon. Steeling his resolve, he came to one conclusion. As penance and punishment, Draco would die on this field. He took his brother's armor and helmet, donning them and returning to camp to lead his men under the guise of his brother. He was no longer Draco. Now HE was Dartanon.

When Dalamud fell, Draco's Knight order was in shambles, only a handful having survived. He led these survivors back, as well as the wrapped body of his brother, to his home only to find it too was in ruins and its inhabitants dead. Sorrow seemed permanently latched to Draco's life. With no family, and no home, he disbanded his knights to set out into Eorzea. He'd do what he could to help rebuild this once great nation, as penance for his sins. If one Nobis was left standing, he wanted it to be the hero 'Dartanon'. He'd just have to live as someone he wasn't.

==Recent Events==

===Black Blade Arc===

When everything in Eorzea was mostly restored, Draco slowed down in his adventures. He had just turned 38, and wasn't exactly full of his youthful energy. He met several groups, and helped them out as they needed it, but mostly kept to himself. Only a few people, he kept in constant contact with. Val Nunh, Faye Covington, Jethas Zykyri, and oddly enough Sophia Grave. His meeting with the Garlean wasn't the most...productive. It resulted in him being stabbed, but he got a good look at the kind of person she was. He was intrigued, finding someone so much like himself. He was determined to 'save' her from her Garlean ways, but eventually found himself falling for her. Unfortunately, fate had a funny way of working out. When the company Draco was in, at the time, disbanded, he started wandering once more. He figured it'd be better for everyone. When he eventually did return...His friends showed him just how much they missed him, with affectionate slaps, punches, and calling him 'stupid for thinking that way'. It was a good day.

Draco retired from the wandering Knight business, for a time. He figured he might as well try to stay in contact with these people, since they were so determined to keep him around. He was growing closer to Jethas and Sophia, one which he viewed as a brother, and the other which he was falling harder for. Just when things started looking up, Fate decided to intervene again when the Darkness began to stir in him, developing it's own self. It became an everlasting presence in him, trying to rob control from the Knight. Draco figured he was strong enough to overcome it. He started medling in Black Magic, but found himself overwhelmed. When a strong burst of anger caused Draco to lose control, he had to flee once more. He was afraid he might hurt the ones he cared about. When Draco returned, he was surprised to find a repeat of his last welcome home. He had honestly thought he was forgotten. Draco decided to stay again, hopefully for good this time, relying on his friends to help him if he lost his way again.

Things with Sophia began developing quicker, once Draco returned. Confessing his feelings, with some awkward help from Val Nunh, was very difficult, but eventually he managed to do it. He was happy to find them returned, and endeavored to make the most of things, despite their differences in allegiance. It wasn't long before Draco found himself somewhat alone in Eorzea, though. Val and Faye were warry of him, now that he was with Sophia, and Jethas had his own issues to solve. After some convincing, Draco agreed to become Sophia's partner and help her with her Garlean tasks. He refuses to swear loyalty the Garleans, but he will do whatever it takes to protect Sophia. Even if things have been rough, for them, he is stubborn and determined. A few incidents with the Darkness rising up seems to be setting the course...It will have to be dealt with soon.

===Branded Arc===

Draco spent most of his time with Sophia after his return. From her, he learned about the Branded residents of Cliffperch. While his initial reception was met with caution and distrust, he remained as the volunteer guard outside the gate to the house. He had no shard, and thus wasn't allowed INTO the house, but he met several of the Aeon Branded through his partner. For several days, Draco observed and protected the people of Cliffperch, almost jumping on the chance to be active again. Sitting in a bar was no place for a Knight, for the rest of his life. While there were a few bumps in his stay, including an altercation between Draco and the young woman Zuri Bacchus over the Elezen's partner, and a temporary loss of control with the Darkness, Draco felt happy and alive. He had people to protect once more, that he felt needed it.

Draco found himself increasingly intrigued by the shards that allowed the Branded to communicate. He tried to gather information on it, but his skills in passive interrogation were...lacking. Deciding to give up for a little, Draco made a trip back through Thanalan towads Ul'dah proper. His Darkness was suppressed by a tonic Sophia had made, so he took advantage of the time to get some training in. As he ventured, he came across a man being attacked by bandits. Draco tried his best to save the man, but unfortunately the traveler's wounds were too great, and Draco was no healer. The man died shortly after the bandit were dispatched. Unbeknownst to Draco, the dead traveler was branded, and his shard had jumped to the nearest host. With a shard now in his body, Draco returned to Cliffperch, blissfully unaware.

The Darkness, in its weakened state, noticed the link first and hid it from Draco, making sure the knight couldn't use it clearly yet. It used the link to examine several people. When Draco assisted Varus in collecting shards and a demonic power, the Darkness was forcefully stirred awake, beginning to slowly gain power again. This activated Draco's rune, and allowed him to hear the link, although the Darkness made it difficult. Through the activation of his shard, Draco was allowed into Cliffperch. Surprisingly, Zuri was the one to help him with it, and tell him what to do. Through their talks, they both realised that Draco's Ishgardian mother was Zuri's aunt. Draco was effectively in a light daze. Over a short time, he discovered a surviving family member, and gained a deeper connection to others. How this would effect him remains unknown.

===What Once Was Arc===

Draco revealed to the others his past and who he really was, giving up the name Dartanon and letting his brother finally rest in entirety. With the help of Zuri, Sophia, and Flickering Ember, Oblivion was defeated and Draco's soul was re-united. He was in full control of the Darkness in him, now. However, the task awoke memories in Draco that hinted to the source of his dark powers. Originally, he would have let it go, but he felt like the mystery of his darkness was still a burden on others. He decided to leave Cliffperch until he could solve the mystery of his family, the Lord they served, and his own corruption. He resides now in Coerthas, staying with a friend of his that had gone through something similar with void corruption. Together, they hunt for answers.

Draco acts now as a wandering Knight again, searching across Eorzea for answers. Wearing modified Garlean armor, given to him by Liliana, and a mask to hide his face, he seeks to use his powers to protect the people of Eorzea once more. He was planning on assisting Lacey Orwell with a mission she was putting together, but she had set off without him. He followed her in secret, to a location with Garlean supplies she was trying to secure. He intercepted a Garlean squad moving to reinforce the scientist and his men, when Lacey and her friends attacked. After a battle, he had to kill all the Garleans that he engaged, before leaving. He worries now that it may have a negative outcome, but he'd set on a path he couldn't come back from. He was beginning to understand that sometimes in battle...he couldn't spare his enemy.

After a few moons of searching, Draco's attentions were drawn back home to Cliffperch and Aeon. With the return of Varus, Draco dedicated himself to once more defending the Branded, putting his own quest for answers aside. Once Varus was defeated, Draco grew close to a young woman named Reima Awen and decided to stay at Cliffperch. He trains some of the Branded in martial combat, and safeguarding them. Entudenin and Garlean attacks on his companions force him to remain where he is, but growing fires in Ishgard threaten to draw Draco back North.

==Relationships==
===Enemies===

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Sophia Grave]]''' - A young Ul'dahn woman with a rather charming appearance and mannerisms. While a woman of many secrets, and formerly an enemy of the Elezen Knight, Sophia grave found a way into his heart. While he is afraid to openly admit to her, he cares for her greatly. His urge to protect her is greater than most. Their first interactions together were...violent. She stabbed him, put simply. But once they fought with their wits, instead of their swords, they realized they were more like each other than they thought. Over time, Draco fell harder for Sophia and eventually confessed his affections. They became partners and lovers, working together for a common goal of peace against the Primals and war. In recent events, Draco's war on the Garleans that kidnapped and experimented on Eorzean civilians, drove a wedge between Draco and Sophia. After catching her in the act of breaking into a comrade's room, he spoke to her in Ul'dah, and they went their separate ways as unfortunate enemies. While Draco once more hardens his resolve to protect his people, he doubts he'd be able to bring himself to fully confront his once lover. Deep in his mind, he still cares for the Garlean, and wishes the outcome had been different.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zaius Rhal'seer]]''' - A Miqo'te pit fighter who has a vicious blood lust and murderous tendencies. Draco and Zaius used to be allied under the same banner, when Zaius was Branded, but when Zaius left to pursue his own agenda, Draco quickly saw that the other Miqo'te was a danger. His violent urges and eager acceptance of violence turns the Knight away from the pit fighter. Draco believes that if Zaius fights him, one of them will have to die. He attempted once to quickly end Zaius with a revolver shot to the head, but failed.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Jethas Zykyri]]''' - A Miqo'te that befriended Draco while he served in the Phoenix Collective. One of Draco's only real friends, Draco thinks of him almost like a brother. They bicker and tease each other, making him one of the few that Draco enjoys himself around and lets loose a little with. Jethas always seemed to look out for Draco, making sure he never stepped into something he couldn't handle...Even if Jethas had to scold or beat on Draco first.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Faye Covington]]''' - The Hyur Midlander woman, Faye Covington, didn't make the best first impression with Draco. He first met her and her mate when he intercepted a fight on a bridge outside Ul'dah. He received a wound for his troubles, and made two new...friends of sorts. Over time, Draco began to respect Faye. She carried herself with grace, at least from what he had seen, and her care and affection for her mate inspired him. He soon found himself visiting them more frequently, and even saved their lives from a Garlean ambush in the forest. He considers Faye another one of his true friends.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Val Nunh]]''' - Val Nunh and Draco had a rough start. They met by fighting, Draco receiving an injury. Neither warrior saw eye to eye after that, constantly being wary around the other, whether it was Val's thuggish attitude, or Draco's open distaste for it. Eventually, as it happened with Faye Covington, Draco soon began to respect the Miqo'te bodyguard. Val showed the utmost loyalty, and flat out love for Faye. Draco soon saw that the Miqo'te wasn't nearly as bad and untrustworthy as he had thought. He even attempted to help him become more 'Knightly' and chivalrous for Faye...but that didn't quite work. While Val's mannerism's changed slightly, he still carried that manner of speech that drove Draco up the wall.

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Augustine Frost]]''' - Augustine was a Mercenary that met Draco in one of the most...bizarre ways. While Draco was conversing with an Elezen woman, Augustine just walked up and complimented her legs. Thinking that Augustine was a poor lovestruck man in need of courting advice, Draco befriended him and tried to help him get with the Elezen, Tassine. However, their relationship didn't work in the end. Draco and Augustine don't see each other as frequently, but they do converse now and again.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Tassine Gouvieux]]''' - An elegant and beautiful Elezen. She is a woman of high standing, and one that easily earned the admiration and respect of Draco. While his meeting with her wasn't exactly at a noble gathering, it was enjoyable. He doesn't get to see her as often as he wishes, but he tries to keep in contact and offer assistance when he can.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Liliana Nazareth]]''' - A kind and lovely Sharlayan woman that Draco met on pure chance. He had been there when [[Paradyme Capellago]] pulled her from the void. He had tried to remove her corruption, but had failed. A long time later, and he was present to help her give birth to her daughter, Dawn, along with Sophia Grave and her brother, with a Doman girl there as well. He hadn't seen her again for some time until he encountered her in Coerthas, after her breakup with Paradyme. He comforted her as best he could, going out to visit her when he could since he could sympathize with her plight. At the moment, he stays in her home in Coerthas, helping watch out for her children and to make sure she's safe. He also uses her home as a forward base in Coerthas, for his investigation into his family's past. Once he had earned the name 'Judge' he left her home in Coerthas, so he wouldn't be in her way any longer. He watches over her and her children in secret, although he finds himself leaving her be in the wake of her wedding with Paradyme.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zaku Paku]]''' - At the moment Draco and Zaku, also known as Zaku Degenwulf, are not on good terms. Neither trusts the others, and Draco doesn't believe their relationship can be mended anymore. When Draco first joined Aeon, Zaku was the first to welcome and greet him. When the Lalafel became a Highlander, he changed. In Draco's opinion, it was for the worse. Zaku's temper and berserk tendencies matched Draco's, when he was under the influence of Oblivion. It worries him. Because of Zaku's quick rise to violence, Draco watches him with caution. He's prepared to fight if he has to.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Lacey Orwell]]''' - Lacey and Draco didn't exactly hang out all that much, but he would consider her a friend. He met her after the 'death' of Varus, as she was one of his agents. She tried to get close to Zaku, for information from the Flames. Draco was suspicious of her at first, but didn't approve of either her methods or Zaku's once he caught on. When she denounced her ties to Varus, she joined Aeon, where Draco tried to help her settle. The Ex-Garlean Agent then tried to mend Draco's relationship with Zaku, but it didn't end well. Lacey worked with and assisted Draco a few times before departing from Aeon.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Hotaru Gin]]''' - Gin met Draco under odd circumstances. She had met him through Sebastian Grave, Sophia's brother, in Ul'dah. They met with Liliana and her at-the-time boyfriend Paradyme, and just happened to be there when the Sharlayan went into labor. Gin helped deliver the baby, and Draco was forced to watch...it was terrible. After that, Draco encountered Gin multiple times, and did what he could to find her when she was captured by a Garlean agent. He wasn't the one to rescue her, but he acted as her confidante before and after the rescue. They both shared secrets, and grew closer. Draco considers her a close friend, despite some of their differing opinions, and would aid her where he could.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Lanza Razaul]]''' - Not much can be said for the relationship between Lanza and Draco, aside from the fact that both parties do not like each other in the slightest. Lanza seems intent on fighting Draco to the death. Draco was originally out for Lanza's blood, after he thought the lancer had murdered Liliana. However, after learning that it was on Liliana's request, and after [[C'eleni Meztli]] pleaded for Lanza's life, Draco decided to call off his mission of vengeance. Lanza, however, is adamant that the two will fight. Draco killed Lanza in self defense some time back.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Rukira Michaelis]]''' - Rukira was one of Draco's enemies originally, the right hand woman to Varus Rosenthal. After the first Varus crisis ended, Draco came into an uneasy understanding with the blonde woman. She didn't cause much trouble, and the two talked calmly once and again, a strange respect between the two warriors. However, when she resurfaced again, once more doing the bidding of Varus and working along Zaius to attack X'Septha, Draco had to fight her. After the battle, he recieved a strange note asking him to meet her somewhere. He didn't know who had sent the note originally, but when he went to the location, he discovered Rukira wanted one last fight. A duel to the death. Draco obliged and slew her after a battle. She thanked him with her dying breath, and he buried her in his old home.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Reima Awen]]''' - Draco had recovered the young Hyuran woman when her brand had awoken, and she as discovered on the link. He explained to her the situation and took her to Cliffperch, before returning to Ishgard. He hadn't thought much of her at the time, so he put her out of his mind. When he returned Cliffperch, he met her once again and she quickly offered him a pillar to lean on with his burdens. Over talks and spending time together, Draco quickly discovered he was becoming infatuated. After Sophia and he split up, he was almost too welcoming of the attention, but didn't press after it immediately. He decided to spend more time with Reima, teaching her swordplay and fencing, as well as playing music for her and offering his ear for her worries as she did for him. When he felt the time was right, he confessed his feelings to her and the two began courting.

::* "Saw him givin' chocolates to that blonde girl. Wonder what that was all about, eh? Two secretive people givin' things back n' forth. Probably spies."

=== Player Character Rumors (Add anything you'd like, true or untrue, just keep it IC!) ===

::* "I have heard of his legendary temper, but I have yet to see it. I am beginning to think it does not exist...I almost want to test those limits, somehow.~" -- [[Liliana_Nazareth|Liliana Nazareth]]

::* "Dart and Draco. Dart is Draco but Draco is not Dart. He changed his name and become 'Draco.' Meet both. Dart is not nice but I like Draco!" -- [[Flickering Ember]]

::* "He is a man not without his demons, but he is honourable nonetheless. He can be counted upon tae give good counsel, and tae do the moral thing in any situation. Thus he is a cherished comrade-in-arms." - [[Brynhilde Wulf]]

::* "Dart can be a bit of a fool at times, and can do things that annoy the hells out of you, but he's always had a good heart, and he's one of those types you know you can count on." - [[Jethas Zykyri]]

::* "Ser Nobis is always so serious and staunch, it's almost as if smiling would kill him." - [[C'eleni Meztli]]

::* "He says he will do whatever it takes to protect the innocent... Even shed blood and take lives. But I worry. What if something snaps inside him?" - [[C'eleni Meztli]]

::* "Ser Draco is an exemplar of what a true knight is, and I forever will strive to catch up to him, but I am fairly sure that will never happen. His adherence to upholding good and being merciful is as much of a positive quality as it is a hindrance, though I wouldn't mind seeing him fight without it for once." - [[Leon Greymoon]]

::* "I am honored to call such a man my teacher. My heart echoes with the lessons he has taught me. I hope to make him proud to have taken me under his wing." - [[Izanami Stormcaller]]

I hope to fight him again, perhaps even drop a cake on his head." - [[Orenji Kharn]]

::* "I wish not to speak of him, yet let it be known that there is much more to him than meets the eye. Remain on guard in his presence for it is often our 'heroes' who fall the furthest."-[[Graeham Ridgefield]]

==History/Timeline==

TBA

==Affiliations==

Draco was a knight to an Elezen house before the Calamity. Afterwards, he wandered Eorzea as a Mercenary Knight, in league with the Mercenary Guilds. From there, he joined the Phoenix Collective, a Free Company led by the twins Dirosei and Azreyal. He never quite fit in, so he still worked by himself when he could. He decided to leave one day, and returned to find the company gone. His old friend Jethas had started his own with another former member, the Order of the Ravenstar. Draco decided to stay with him for the time being, joining up to protect his friends once more. When he lost control of the Darkness within him, Draco fled and broke ties with the Ravenstar. When he returned, he reunited with Sophia and began voluntarily guarding her and her free company. He works to protect the Branded of Aeon, unknowingly sharing more with them than he realized.

==OOC Information==

-Draco is no longer on good terms with the Garlean Empire, and is employed in fighting against them again.
-Draco openly uses his Darkness now that Oblivion has been defeated, employing his abilities to help protect people.

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Alcohol, primarily due to the negative effects it has on many people.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be fairly diplomatic when required, sometimes acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

===Other===
::*
::*
::*

==Relationships==
===Family===

Graeham's lips are sealed when it comes to the subject of his family. He tends to become increasingly evasive if people try to pry into the matter. Those who earn his trust, however, may learn that he has Garlean blood within his veins.

===Friends===

===Enemies===

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."
::* "The man isn't shy when it comes to making use of that silver tongue of his. I'm sure it gets him into trouble from time to time though..."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "He has a good heart but he can be pretty naive. I fear many will take advantage of that."
::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."
::* "I've seen him wearing a full suit of armour! Does he fancy himself a knight now?"

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."
::* "Every few months he heads out to that graveyard near Wineport to place a bouquet of flowers atop one of the graves."
::* "He's Garlean! Well, his mother was - his father wasn't. I don't trust him one bit - tainted blood is tainted blood."
::* "There's a darker, more cynical side to him beneath all his charm. Be cautious."
::* "He's much better at using that blade of his than he'd let you believe. Don't be fooled - it's a trick to get you to underestimate him!"

===PC Rumors===
::* "An enigmatic man and former friend. I was never able to delve into his mysteries satisfactorily. He seems pleased not to be the center of attention and is skilled at remaining unnoticed. But do take notice, look under the surface, even if he insists that there is nothing hidden there. Maybe you will find it. I never have." - [[Lilia Lia]]
::* "I'm not the type to be swayed by idealists, but his spirit is contagious, especially since it's accompanied by intelligence many seem to lack. It's nice to see his heart and optimism haven't been spoiled by the fools he had to suffer for so long." -[[Sasha Rochester]]
::* "The hyur with the blond hair who used to live here at the Mizzenmast down the hall from me... I wonder where he went? His armor was so beautiful, and I could smell the fresh fish he would bring home all the way from my room." — [[M'isha Runja]]
::* ""Although he may harbour the blood of Garlemald within him, let it be known that there is no doubt as to Ser Ridgefield's intentions, nor as to his honour. His single-minded commitment to brokering peace between Eorzea and Garlemald is testament to this." - [[Keiten Hagane]]
::* ""A kind young knight, who took it upon himself to aid my tribe in fending off aggressors who wanted its territory, and who give miqo'te foods." - [[J'rakh Tia]]
::* ""Easygoin' fella. Smiles a lot, pleasant to do business wit'. Got a feelin' he's got gil pourin' outta his arse. Don't seem fake an' fluffed up like the other diplomatic types, though. I respect that." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]
::* "Good man that one, Graeham has the making of a knight, and is decent enough with the blade. I hope he never bites it, the realm needs good men like him, especially right now." -[[Leon Greymoon]]
::* "Oh him? He definitely stands out, in what way depends on who looks at him. I for one, see him as a naive man trying to fight against the unrelenting tide of the world, too bad it is my job to keep his head above the damned water." -[[Akari Kurokawa]]

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Alcohol, primarily due to the negative effects it has on many people.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be fairly diplomatic when required, sometimes acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

===Other===
::*
::*
::*

==Relationships==
===Family===

Graeham's lips are sealed when it comes to the subject of his family. He tends to become increasingly evasive if people try to pry into the matter. Those who earn his trust, however, may learn that he has Garlean blood within his veins.

===Friends===

- '''[[Keiten Hagane]]:''' Graeham stumbled across Keiten's path when the man arrived in La Noscea after fleeing Doma. The pair quickly bonded and taught each other the ways of their respective cultures. Graeham gave the au ra a tour of Vylbrand during which a spark ignited between them. They have since become lovers and have sought to make it official through a pact at the Sanctum of the Twelve.

===Enemies===

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."
::* "The man isn't shy when it comes to making use of that silver tongue of his. I'm sure it gets him into trouble from time to time though..."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "He has a good heart but he can be pretty naive. I fear many will take advantage of that."
::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."
::* "I've seen him wearing a full suit of armour! Does he fancy himself a knight now?"

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."

One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."
::* "The man isn't shy when it comes to making use of that silver tongue of his. I'm sure it gets him into trouble from time to time though..."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "He has a good heart but he can be pretty naive. I fear many will take advantage of that."
::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."
::* "I've seen him wearing a full suit of armour! Does he fancy himself a knight now?"

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."
::* "Every few months he heads out to that graveyard near Wineport to place a bouquet of flowers atop one of the graves."
::* "He's Garlean! Well, his mother was - his father wasn't. I don't trust him one bit - tainted blood is tainted blood."
::* "There's a darker, more cynical side to him beneath all his charm. Be cautious."
::* "He's much better at using that blade of his than he'd let you believe. Don't be fooled - it's a trick to get you to underestimate him!"

===PC Rumors===
::* "An enigmatic man and former friend. I was never able to delve into his mysteries satisfactorily. He seems pleased not to be the center of attention and is skilled at remaining unnoticed. But do take notice, look under the surface, even if he insists that there is nothing hidden there. Maybe you will find it. I never have." - [[Lilia Lia]]
::* "I'm not the type to be swayed by idealists, but his spirit is contagious, especially since it's accompanied by intelligence many seem to lack. It's nice to see his heart and optimism haven't been spoiled by the fools he had to suffer for so long." -[[Sasha Rochester]]
::* "The hyur with the blond hair who used to live here at the Mizzenmast down the hall from me... I wonder where he went? His armor was so beautiful, and I could smell the fresh fish he would bring home all the way from my room." — [[M'isha Runja]]
::* ""Although he may harbour the blood of Garlemald within him, let it be known that there is no doubt as to Ser Ridgefield's intentions, nor as to his honour. His single-minded commitment to brokering peace between Eorzea and Garlemald is testament to this." - [[Keiten Hagane]]

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them.
