Etymology
Bodiford
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest Hyur names of Eorzea. It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in baterie, which is a term for beaten copper or brassware. The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word bateor, meaning one who beats, a term which has been applied to a beater of cloth or fuller. The surname may also be a short form of the word orbatour, which means a beater of gold. Variations of the surname include: Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth, and many more.
History
The Bodiford ancestors came to Eorzea during the first great Hyur migratory wave in the Sixth Astral Era. Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of Ul'dah due to it's abundant mineral resources. Seeing the vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and jewelry company. Many generations of Bodifords have all been members of the Goldsmith's Guild including Adam's father, Henry Thomas the 3rd.
Personality
Adam was always a care-free spirit, never wanting for anything. Most that know him wouldn't go so far as to call him "spoiled", but it's fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work. As such, his parents wisely decided to cut him off from the family fortune so that he could learn to make his own way. Obviously, Adam was not to thrilled about this and holds a bit of a grudge against his parents.
Career Goals
One of Adam's favorite pastimes as a youth was spectating at the many Ul'dahn fighting arenas. So naturally, he has always aspired to become a great gladiator.
