'''Evien mal Sheol''' is a Miqo'te from the imperial-conquered city-state of Lindblum, but has "betrayed" his countrymen (not that he sees it that way) to happily work as a mal-ranked researcher for Garlemald.

==History==
 
==History==
Evien was born in Lindblum, a conquered imperial province in Ilsabard. A natural-born genius in the ways of manipulating aether (especially regarding the soul), so much that in his youth he was accepted into the Magitek Academy in the imperial capital. After graduation he was assigned to the IXth Imperial Legion's science division and quickly climbed the ranks to mal. He was happy to do so, as the army's funding and resources gave him more opportunities than he could ever achieve on his own. Raised in Garlean culture, when he met his love Celhi they chose to be a simple couple instead of the usual Miqo'te tribal lifestyle.

Originally X'Evien Tia and hailing from Sharlayan, when he was younger had attended the Studium and graduated as an Archon. X'Evien quickly became a renowned expert in aetherology and the manipulation of souls. When he met a young woman named Celhi Sheol, he moved with her the the Shroud and changed his name, loving her enough to embrace the Keeper of the Moon culture. Their daughter Invia was born shortly after in the South Shroud.
  
Despite not being native Garleans Evien's rank afforded his family a nice life in Lindblum, though his wife Celhi died of illness when their daughter Invia was still young. Evien was often seen as a traitor to the Lindblum cause, but he does not see it that way; after all, has not the level of technology and understanding of aether rocketed since Lindblum was conquered? He is only helping them prosper!

Celhi died when Invia was young, and Evien fell into his work as a coping mechanism, and perhaps a desperate home to try and revive her. It wasn't long before his aetherology research on the soul seemed to have become all he cared about. Eventually it came to a head five years ago, when lamenting the lack of research resources that Gridania could provide to him and Sharlayan's refusal to let him back in after leaving them, Evien turned to a third option: the Garlean Empire. This caused a terrible argument and falling-out between father and daughter, but all Evien seemed to care for was the opportunity to further his research. In the dead of night he crossed Baelsar's Wall to betray Eorzea for the Empire, and from his already existing reputation and skill, he quickly saw himself rise through the ranks to mal. Invia stayed behind in Eorzea and became an adventurer to fulfill her childhood dream of being a hero.
  
Evien's daughter Invia would eventually leave Lindblum to "become a hero", something Evien dismissed. Even though he truly does love her, they had a rather large fight and falling out over the matter because they fundamentally disagreed about Garlemald. Evien continued to research in Valnain until he was assigned a more dangerous task: aiding the fight against the Bozjan Resistance.

After Emperor Varis's death, the Empire fell into civil war and all of Ilsabard was caught up in the chaos. Lindblum was the sight of a three-way battle between two imperial legions and a group of resistance fighters, of which Invia herself was a part of. In the middle of the fighting she had an emotional confrontation with her father at his lab in Castrum Caligo. During their confrontation battling across the city caused ceruleum tanks to detonate and bring down the castrum, and despite everything that had happened, Invia shielded her father from the explosions and raining debris. Though on the verge of death, Invia knew she had saved someone she loved...only for him to do shortly the same.

Evien mal Sheol is a Miqo'te originally from Sharlayan who betrayed Eorzea to join the Garlean Empire.

History

Originally X'Evien Tia and hailing from Sharlayan, when he was younger had attended the Studium and graduated as an Archon. X'Evien quickly became a renowned expert in aetherology and the manipulation of souls. When he met a young woman named Celhi Sheol, he moved with her the the Shroud and changed his name, loving her enough to embrace the Keeper of the Moon culture. Their daughter Invia was born shortly after in the South Shroud.

Celhi died when Invia was young, and Evien fell into his work as a coping mechanism, and perhaps a desperate home to try and revive her. It wasn't long before his aetherology research on the soul seemed to have become all he cared about. Eventually it came to a head five years ago, when lamenting the lack of research resources that Gridania could provide to him and Sharlayan's refusal to let him back in after leaving them, Evien turned to a third option: the Garlean Empire. This caused a terrible argument and falling-out between father and daughter, but all Evien seemed to care for was the opportunity to further his research. In the dead of night he crossed Baelsar's Wall to betray Eorzea for the Empire, and from his already existing reputation and skill, he quickly saw himself rise through the ranks to mal. Invia stayed behind in Eorzea and became an adventurer to fulfill her childhood dream of being a hero.
