Character Quote

"Who cares about fate?! Worry about the "now" not the future." —Raeventiel Beaudonet

Character

Name Etimology

His given name "Raeventiel" is a play on the feminine name "Raevyn" which means "Raven". Oddly enough origins of Raeventiel’s name don’t just stop there. While I initially desired a name to be just as dark and mysterious as my character, I soon learned that his name Raeventiel sounds suspiciously like the Norwegian phrase “Reven till” which is loosely translated: “As a fox” or “Of a Fox”.

Nicknames

Raeventiel dons a few nicknames that hail from his heydays as a bounty hunter. His professional bounty hunting alias was the "Mad Hound". Eventually his companions saw him less like a "hound" and more like an dainty "swan" instead. While the nickname "Mad Swan" has a bit of a ring to it, Raeventiel honestly despise that nickname is quick to correct those who call him that either with words or force.

History

General Background

Raeventiel is the second son of a lesser noble house in Ishgard. In his youth, he was raised by his grand-uncle Gideloix Beaudonet along with his twin brother Morrigan after the death of his mother and father. Life in Ishgard was a difficult one but also a happy one. Raeventiel lived a rather sheltered life before finally venturing out of Ishgard when he reached the age of manhood. He attended Saint Reymanaud Academy for a time alongside his brother but expressed to his grand-sire that he would rather explore the world than deal with the arrogance of the clergy. Morrigan eventually followed suit to leave the academy for the Temple Knights while Raeventiel joined the ranks of many adventurers who had their eyes set on gold and riches.

For a time Raeventiel lingered in Gridania studying the flora and fauna there before eventually packing his bags for Ul'dah.

Life in Ul'dah

As one can suspect, Raeventiel is an adventurous young man with a passion for learning. His journeys to the other city-states exposed him to a life free from the Dravanian conflict and free from the threat of the clergy. He was able to find himself out there in the world and came to realize that not all that glitters is gold. His life in Ul'dah started off rather rocky considering that the Brass Blades took an unsavory interest in the Ishgardian nobleman. Eventually, Raeventiel managed free himself of the Blades's constant harassment by joining the Arrzaneth Ossuary. Raeventiel always possessed a laden talent for magic and rose up quickly in their ranks to become one of their high magisters. The Brass Blades didn't dare harass the Elezen after that in fear that he would make good on his promise to "roast them alive."

Nevertheless, Raeventiel's adventures in Ul'dah weren't all so harrowing and some where even quite thrilling. Raeventiel quickly begun to learn that the people of Ul'dah are quite "passionate" behind closed doors and made money on the side as a "gentlemen of hire" for wealthy clients interested in spending a night or two with an Ishgardian lover. While this was nothing more than a side gig on his part, Raeventiel realized that he quite enjoyed the arduous act of lovemaking a little bit more than he enjoyed adventuring. Raeventiel kept a memoir of his sexual encounters and tried to keep record of every man or woman he met during his time in Ul'dah. He assures himself it was just for the sake of record-keeping but it's something a little more devious than that.
