Short Bio

A former imperial shinobi who purportedly defected shortly following the events at Carteneau, R’phael now operates as a spy in Eorzea. While R’phael could consider himself a patriot, his allegiance, however, is not to the emperor. R’phael supports the people of Garlemald, and may be counted among the ranks of an insurgent faction that is slowing rising within the Empire.

Among the Rogues with which R’phael associates, it is no secret that he is a former Garlean solider. In fact, he can be rather forthcoming about his past allegiance. He admits to this detail as a form of proactive damage control, as well as a means to “hide in plain sight.” If he is to maintain the trust of his new associates, it is better that they know the truth of his origins. Were he to keep this hidden, and the truth be revealed later, such trust may be harder to repair.

In some respects, R’phael is an idealist. He hopes for a day when there will be peace between Garlemald and its neighbors.

Additional Backstory

R'phael Miltiades is the illegitimate son of a Garlean soldier and Doman ninja. He spent his younger years with his mother, where he was raised in the way of the shinobi. Upon adolescence, he left the Village to follow his father. R'phael soon after enlisted in the Garlean military, and was trained as a machinist.

After the events at Carteneau, R'phael ended up in Limsa as a sellsword. His particular fighting style was noticed by the Rogues, and he ended up joining them.
