 ==='''Physical Description'''===
-Rook Devileye can be very much seen as an imposing figure as he stands tall even for a Highlander. Fair skinned and toned build, Rook uses all his given talents to aid his journey across Eorzea often working as sellsword, privateer, or just typical freelance adventurer. Rook generally keeps his hair shaggy and unkempt as he cares little for his own appearance other than the garb he wears or the weapon that he is brandishing. Can be found wearing large coats, dusters, and even heavy armored sets as he know to use a variety of weapons though namely a firearm and an axe. In terms of physical appearance Rook can be said to be more of a dirty scoundrel than a proper gentleman as he tends to dress with flair of a pirate or bard. Has some facial hair, mostly upon his chin but the more striking aspect of his appearance is the eyepatch that covers his left eye, which pulled aside reveals iris of dark gold. The eye is the source of the Devileye name which is not his surname, though he has never revealed it. His other eye being a darker shade of green but seen with both it can be quite unsettling. It is unknown if the eye is dead which is why he bares an eyepatch or if he covers it as a means to hide it.

Fair skinned and toned build, Rook uses all his given talents to aid his journey across Eorzea often working as sellsword, privateer, or just typical freelance adventurer. Rook is of eastern decedent, possibly originating from Hingashi or Doma. In terms of physical appearance Rook can be said to be more of a dirty scoundrel than a proper gentleman as he tends to dress with some flair. Possess graying hair that is often done in traditional far eastern style; although the most striking feature is that of his heterochromia. One eye a dark shade of green and the other gold. His gold eye is the source of the Devileye name which is obviously not his true surname, which is something he has never revealed. Rook can always be found armed, either with a katana or a firearm and occasionally an axe.

 ==='''Voice'''===
-Rook has a very deep and raspy voice that matches his physical nature. Fond of sarcasm and dry humor, which is often deeply coated in bitterness. Rook often always has something to say, either being an honest advice or just a snarky comment to make. Even in combat Rook has been known to make remarks aimed at his foes typically with taunts and other mockery. Yet Rook typically remains silent or distant, but when he has something to say he'll let his voice be heard and often times will then be unable to shut up.

 ==='''Demeanor & Nature'''===
-Rook is a complex man, which one could easily describe him as a mercenary with a conscience. Being a fairly cynical towards the world and those who dwell in it, often believing that many are just motivated by self interest and seeking self preservation. Despite his negative view of the world itself, Rook has no problem speaking his mind or dealing with people; yet, often times prefers not to. He is honest with most travelers and fairly open, often time to time he will even embellish here and there for certain stories. However, stories that concern his origin and past often varies as Rook been known to conjure up a variety of back stories; he's the son of the Navigator making him a demi-god, another he claims to be the he is a bastard son of some noble house of Ishgard, and yet another claim that he is the emperor of the Garlean Empire and he is merely on an extended vacation. Rook has no problem with risking his own life to defend and aid others. He does not do so for honor, glory, or fame. Often times will do so for the sake of doing something as well as his nagging conscience. Though for the most part its often because Rook lives for the thrill of battle and a good fight, though coin is always nice to have.

Rook has no problem with risking his own life to defend and aid others. He does not do so for honor, glory, or fame. Those that have know parts of his past believe he seeks redemption for his past crimes serving or that he has a death wish and seeks to throw his life away. He may not even know why he fights, it's all he has ever known.
-Rook's greatest strength is that of his resolve as he is utterly fearless in the face of threats that can strike fear into the most iron willed adventurers. For Rook it is merely another challenge. His stubbornness also adds to his strength, allowing him to stay in the fight longer than he possible should which can be seen as both strength and weakness as he does not like to run from a fight even if it means death. This often times suggest a death wish or little value of his own well being. Rook's shortsightedness and living in the moment is perhaps his greatest weakness as it often forces him to make bad judgement calls, while others should give up the chase, he'll continue which may lead to disastrous results. His vices get the better of him almost every time, his bad investment, and poor decision making had forced him to constantly abandon his dreams and ambitions, forcing him to create smaller and shorter goals, which trap him living the life of a mercenary and nothing more. Repair bills, easy women, cheap drinks, and countless other matters keep him on his feet seeking contracts. Often times Rook refused to take responsibility over his actions and will often time blames fate or luck over his own choices.

-Not much is really known about Rook Devileye. Many who have attempted to uncover his origins and history often discover conflicting stories, many of which are purely fabricated and outright outlandish though perhaps some truths lurk within these tall tales. What is known is that he has spent a great deal of time out at sea as a privateer under Limsa command and has acquired a large sum of debt accumulating across all regions. Those who have cross his path have often spoken of his tendency to seek out a fight, whether it be out of self worth or simply battle lust is unknown, and also speak of his habit of helping other without much thought nor concern for his own well being. Rook Devileye has worked for numerous groups but has rarely stayed within their ranks for very long, excluding the Maelstrom. Known for his brutality on the battlefield, Rook is not one to be taken lightly even if he may appear apathetic as he does possess a sharp wit and sharper tongue to go with his wild temperament.

	Monstrous is a word that could be used to describe Rook due to his imposing stature, standing nearly eight feet in height Rook easily towers over any adventurer including other Roegadyns. After his massive size one would turn to his coloration. His unusual dark green skinned which clashes with the typical paler Seawolves, Rook claims that its probably because he is not from Eorzea or it may just be possible that he has some Hellguard in his blood. His dark auburn hair is often seen unkempt though its partial due to him constantly wearing a hat or helm. Often times Rook covers his head with his trusty silver tricorne, that easily links him to Limsa Lominsa, almost being customary attire. Rook is rarely seen without his beloved hat which points to it being more sentimental than for style. Resting over his left eye is that of a highly detailed and highly crafted eye patch, leaving behind a lone dark yellow eye that Rook claims is gold. His golden eye has a large number of scars surrounding it while the eye itself is unharmed. Though beneath his eye patch is a cloudy white eye which is believed to either blind, dead, or otherworldly. The white eye itself is free of any scarring or markings. The last major physical trait that many comment on is the scars found upon his face, five total. He claims that each scar on his body tells a story; however, those upon his face are ones he remarks only speak of a sad tale that none wishes to hear. Though Rook is not always seen dressed for combat from time to time can be found wearing a finer attire giving him the appearance of a man with wealth. Rook often mentions that every man needs to wear a bit of flair and style now and again to escape their true barbaric nature.

 Finding the truth of Rook's life is a difficult task for he has a habit of changing it up depending on his company. However most versions known Rook is that of a drifter who immigrated to Eorzea for unknown reasons. Yet, after arriving to Limsa Lominsa Rook would quickly find himself caught up in the affairs plaguing the western city-state. Upon arrive to the city-state, Rook had signed a length contract dedicating his services almost exclusively selling himself towards Maelstrom in which he has worn red in support both of the Grand Company and city-state serving mostly as a privateer hunting pirates and other enemies of the state. It is unknown if Rook truly believes in Limsa and its Grand Company or merely working to earn a paycheck.
-What is known about Rook is that he is a mercenary who has a preference for dangerous and often near suicidal jobs, many of which most adventurers and sellswords have turn down. When asked about this, Rook has often made remarks that he simply enjoys a challenge and loves to fight, that fighting itself is the only thing he ever know how to do well in life and that it makes him feel alive. According to rumors Rook at one time had a family as well as owned his own ship which traded supplies along the Strait of Merlthor; unfortunately, his family was killed and was driven into a dark spiral. It is also known that after the Calamity he disappeared, only to return five years after returning by ship to Limsa Lominsa once more. Though returning as somewhat changed man.
