He spent most of his early years fighting for the Holy See during the Dragonsong War, where he gained a fierce reputation for himself as a ruthless killer, often going above and beyond expectations. During this time, he was credited with claiming the head of Amoraskr, an infamous named Dragon responsible for the destruction of many expeditions. Whatever rumours still remain from those times claim that Allont and his team were honed to an elite level, using suicidal tactics that would lead them to claim two more named kills, but these are not logged in the records of the Holy See. Known to be bloodthirsty to the point of sheer stupidity, he was looked down upon by most of his peers for being too stupid in combat, despite being a whirlwind of terror in the firmament and a bloodthirsty maniac at the end of a spear. Gaining a severe notoriety both for being a liability as well as a maniac, his success in combat granted him a squad. Headed by Allont, this squad soon became synonymous with the same suicidal tactics used by him and was known for its above average mortality rate. After sustaining near fatal injuries on what should have been a routine operation, Allont was evaluated as being a danger to his own soldiers. Despite this, the Holy See was not willing to get rid of one of their trained soldiers. And so, Allont was retired to the rear to help train the future generations of Dragoons. His methods were considered both extreme and ineffective, but with time his techniques began to mellow out. Despite the success of his unit, he was considered a highly unpopular figure amongst his peers and to those who served alongside him during the war. Since then he has served faithfully under the new Republic of Ishgard. Despite his notoriety during the war, he now has years of training under his belt and is qualified to instruct new members in the ways of the Knights-Dragoon. However, he now mostly handles scouting missions or surveying work for the Order, like many veterans of the war. ❝ Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Sea Green Auburn Light Lithe Noble Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Phlegmatic, amiable. Right-handed One major facial scar. Multiple points of scar tissue upon body. None Casual Hair & Eyes With a crown of auburn locks that fall down to shoulder length, Allont has kept a slightly long, yet tidy hairstyle since the war ended. In previous times, his hair would often grow out during expeditions. Peacetime has granted many comforts that were once denied. In this case, Allont is able to choose his own hairstyles, and now has the time to enjoy taking care of himself. His locks might one day carry the slight smell of sweet green gardenia, and on another they might smell of delicate lilacs. Allont has often been caught on missions poking around for new scents to mix into salves and bottles. Although nowadays he takes good care of himself, it is not a leisure he has always been able to afford. Physique & Markings Allont is on the somewhat tall side, much to his chagrin. Yet despite his branching height, he maintains a lithe figure not unlike a dancer. His legs carry toned muscles that are highly developed compared to other areas of his body. Whether this is due to his past or simply genetic makeup, he often covers them up often as a habit. His core strength and arms are nothing to brag about, but are kept taut by the regular exercise he calls surveying and gardening. He relies on his dexterity to guide his way around whatever fight might find him, instead of brute strength. In the past, he was renowned for keeping a near-Olympian figure as befitted his position. Since then, he has come a long way in maintaining a healthy and realistic body. Hygiene & Attire Traditional Elezen style is not lost on Allont, and since becoming an instructor he has had a myriad of opportunities to exercise his right to choose. Long boots and cut jackets are a casual for him, but he is more often seen in a dirty brown apron and waders due to his hobbies. Add a pair of thick gardeners gloves, and the man could easily be mistaken for an unassuming Gridanian gardener, despite being in Coerthas. When abroad, the illusion is often dispelled by his thick Ishgardian accent, and often his silver jewellery. He often has a long Ishgardian lance perched against a nearby fence, or on the back of his Chocobo, Audacieux. Cleanliness is paramount for both him and his companion, and streams and ponds are not off limits. A deep knowledge of wild plants allows him to forage for clean ingredients for his potions and health salves. Some wild poisons, too. Personality Psychological Profile For someone who has spent a lifetime embroiled in war, Allont is surprisingly down to earth. His simple nature is ruled by one single rule that he holds paramount. Liberty for all, and individuality to spice up the rest. Despite being indoctrinated by the Holy See at an early age, he has come a long way since those times and does not hold the opinions of the previous generation. As long as he isn't being threatened, or the life of someone else isn't being threatened, he seems to keep to himself. His phlegmatic character means that he is often quiet and unassuming, but is open to talking when curious enough. He rarely corrects the mistakes of others when off-duty, but often is filled with the desire to help out with problems. During the Dragonsong War, his cold and calculating personality was a defining feature of his personality, and a major cause for concern from those around him. Those who served with him often refuse to talk about him, and any questions about their time during the war are often met with snorts of derision. His philosophies have changed greatly since those times, as well as his outlook on life. In most things he is the polar opposite of what he once was. Whether this is an attempt to separate himself from the past or simply a natural change, who knows? Voice Allont is characterised mostly by his noble lilt, which betrays his pedigree and origins. He rarely rises to anger. Often characterised by his roller coaster-like intonation, every word can sound like a question or an explanation, and every sentence is a confusing ride of rises and falls. His Ishgardian accent is so thick it would be impossible for him to pretend to be anything else. Despite this, his lexicon is quite grounded and easy to understand, much like his unassuming lifestyle.
