Personality/Behaviour
Taryn has generally been observed as a reserved, quiet individual who keeps his thoughts to himself. Though he has been seen frequenting taverns and other establishments he appears to prefer his own company or that of a few close friends over rowdy gatherings of strangers.
The midlander has a cautious, watchful nature; though whether this is something he has always demonstrated or something learned during his time in Ul'dah is uncertain. It is most likely a combination of both. He tends to pay close attention to small details, a habit developed in recent years; much of which he has spent working as a security escort for trading caravans and individuals.
Taryn appears to be an almost obsessive collector of books and scrolls, mostly pertaining to the areas of alchemy and Magi-tek development, suggesting a fascination with such subjects.
Background
Though Taryn was born in the city of Gridania he and his family relocated to Ul'dah when he was roughly nine years old. As a youth he learned how to wield and fight with a polearm, initially learning from his father and in later years from a number of different teachers in his employers service. Four years prior to the advent of the Calamity he began working for an Ul'dahn merfchant, serving in the capacity of both guard and later enforcer - a choice that our investigations suggest to have been influenced by the existence of significant gambling debts racked up by his father.
He is believed to have spent approximately four years in this manner, only leaving the city to return to Gridania after the advent of the Calamity. As soon as travel became possible he and his surviving family members appear to have returned to the area of the Black Shroud where he appears to have played some role in helping his sister found her own business in the city which she uses to support both herself and their mother.
Four years ago he arrived in the port city of Limsa Lominsa and appears to have remained there ever since working as a security guard for a small Magi-tek Research and Development company which was later absorbed by the growing XI:7.
