Kevix Mercier(♥ ✖ ) - Adopted Father
Kevix took Vado into his household when Vado was twelve years old. His wife had passed and his own son, Reve, had no interest in manufactoring and saw a protégé in Vado. Kevix taught Vado not only the ways of manufactoring but also business, spending time in Ishgard with the nobility there as they came to accept machines as a way of life. The two grew close together and one of Kevix’s final deeds was to name Vado as his successor and heir, much to the chagrin of Reve. Vado later learned that Kevix had connections to the Sons of Saint Coinach and they were responsible for much of the Allagan technology and research that Kevix possessed.
Reve Mercier(♠ ✔ ) - Adopted Brother
Reve has never liked Vado from the moment his father brought him home. Having been cut out of the deed to his father’s company simply because he lacked an interest in his father’s hobby, he now spends his time in Ishgard claiming a noble title and managing the day to day running of Mercier’s Manufactory. He will often refer to Vado by the names ‘Trash’ or ‘Filth.’
Asher(♥ ♥ ) - First Love
Vado’s first love and introduction to the mercenary world. He helped Vado retrieve many of his Allagan artifacts. Asher and Vado broke up when Vado insisted on building a Magitek prosthetic for a man that Asher hated at the time. Vado still has romantic feelings for Asher and occasionally wonders what happened to him. He never did find out his last name.
Atalan Cross(✖) - Miqo’te Prince
Atalan was a Miqo’te Paladin who called himself a prince. The Keeper had gathered a bad of ‘knights’ who were really nothing more than sellswords in expensive armor. Atalan had no ties or claims to any real royalty, yet he pursued Vado and his heart relentlessly. When the obsession turned violent, Vado’s mercenary friends retaliated with one of them sacrificing their lives to kill Atalan and his followers in an explosion. Atalan is believed to be dead.
Valdin Loire and Sterrhaerz( V:✖ S:●) - Mercenary Explorers
Valdin and Sterrhaerz worked for Asher in a small mercenary company that Vado joined briefly. They all travelled together across two Allagan artifact sites and helped Vado recover Allagan artifacts for him to use in his engeering. Valdin was an explosives specialist while Sterrhaerz provided the brawn for their operations. Valdin sacrificed himself to kill one of Vado’s pursuers, Atalan Cross while Vado and Sterrhaerz went separate ways after an encounter in Limsa Lominsa where Sterrhaerz tried to force himself on Vado.
Dr. Eline Sialeeds(♦✔) - Thavnairian Geneticist
Vado first met Dr. Eline Sialeeds during an expedition in Azys Lla. She was fleeing from the Garleans at the time and later explained that her husband was a geneticist that had chosen to defect from the Empire after falling in love with her. Her husband was murdered and Eline felt a responsibility to carry on his work, believing it could be used for good. She worked with Vado, his research and his equipment to start up the Genetic Research division of Mercier’s. Now an independently functioning facility she heads up the production of cells and organs that serve as the base for many of the prosthetics that Vado creates to help others recover from serious injuries.
Vado met Marcus through the mutual connection of a Miqo’te Vado was dating at the time. When Vado and the other Miqo’te ran into problems Marcus intervened to calm the situation down and it was during this time that Vado and Marcus shared their business objectives and parted ways agreeing to discuss working together further at a later time. That later time came and Vado was offered a permanent position under the employ of Marcus and his wife, Dovienya. Since that time Vado has been promoted within the Court. Marcus has slowly opened up to Vado and their relationship is developing slowly.
Vado’s first impression of Dovienya was coloured by another individual being lead to believe that Dovienya was somehow an inherently ‘bad’ person. Vado suspected her for a long time of being a vampire, which became something of a joke for him. After being employed by her and her husband, Marcus, he strove to earn her approval as a loyal and trustworthy companion. As he completed work for the Court he came to see her as someone that was loyal and would do anything for those under her care, a view he still holds today. Their relationship is one of professionalism.
Vado met Talic in the Quicksand. Talic was looking for work and after a few more meetings, Vado introduced Talic to the Court who offered him employment. Initially Vado had thought that Talic would serve to protect him from bullets however as they spent time together their feelings grew and Talic revealed his feelings to Vado. The two quickly decided to be in a relationship and all seemed to be going well until the pressures of work seemed to pile up on Vado and they seemed to fight more often than not.
Ahzra’li worked with Vado after the attack on the Court at Naga’s wedding. Vado completed more work for Ahzra’li and the two began to spend more time together outside of work, getting to know one another and sharing each other’s problems. Over time Vado began to develop feelings for Ahzra’li, despite Ahzra’li being in a relationship. Ones that he could never act on. Vado cares deeply for them both however and has resolved himself to being there for either of them, willing to give his life for them, if need be.
Vado first met Livia during a social gathering with the Court. He drunkenly decided to try to remove her helmet simply because he didn’t like the way it looked. Livia knocked him unconscious for his efforts. Since then, Livia has probably been responsible the death of Vado more than anybody else he knows. Yet he finds a certain sincerity when speaking with her, abrupt as she can be at times. Livia reminds him of his older sisters, the little he can remember of them anyway.
Vado has worked alongside Shadow on a few missions now but still knows every little about the man, despite being present for his wedding. He does know he is a trusted ally to the Court and he respects him as any of the other leaders.
Tempest approached Vado to help him with a confidential task early on. Vado sought clarification regarding the task from her husband and failed to obtain it. Since then, Vado is not sure how to approach Tempest however he does find he biting wit and sarcasm extremely entertaining, even when it is aimed at him.
Vado first met Nylora when she approached Talic at the Quicksand from her deceased parents naming him her ward. As they spent more time together Nylora’s true past came to the surface and Vado wanted to help her. He offered her the services that his medical teams could provide at the time and he gained some information to help her. Together with the aid of the Court and it’s members, they tried to help Nylora but each passing day seemed to make no difference. With the piling up of Vado’s workload he could no longer manage assisting Nylora alone. Asking Talic to take over, he then went back to focusing on his work. Even though Nylora tries still, their relationship is strained.
Vado first met Xiang after waking from unconsciousness. Xiang helped Vado to find his Allagan devices, which he thought he’d lost. He enjoyed Xiang’s company initially and still does somewhat as the two would talk about their commonality in homosexuality however recently, after it took him some time to draw information out around an incident that resulted in his death, he is not sure of his relationship with her anymore.
Vado has completed several jobs with Charlant. He enjoys his witty banter and flowery way of speaking, even if he finds it inefficient and unnecessary. He is wary of the power that Charlant wields and does not understand it whatsoever, which makes him uneasy, yet Charlant has shown himself to be a friend of the Court’s so far and this has been enough for him to trust him to have his back in a fight.
Vado first met Serick when he was ejected from the Court’s premises after he was prematurely invited to attend a meeting at which he was not welcome. Serick was sent outside to guard Vado. Now that Vado works for the Court he has run into Serick a couple of times but their interaction has been minimal. He has fought with Serick and trusts him.
Vado has only recently begun working with E’shiji. They are still getting to know one another, however Vado appreciates E’shiji’s enthusiasm in regards to his work and admires his combat ability.
Vado and Charce’s relationship has been under almost continual strain since Charce first joined and Vado criticized his fieldwork. Their relationship has never really mended from there and just as it appeared as though it might, Charce revealed that he was spying on Vado. It was also later revealed that Charce had negotiated a deal with an enemy of the Court and this had catastrophic consequences for all members of the Court. Vado was present when Charce was taken by Imperials and even considered shooting him at the time. However as long as he remains a member of the Court he has no choice but to work with him. Vado does not trust Charce at all.
Vado has spent very little time with Cemi but completed a few jobs with her. She supposedly has a minigun somewhere that she uses as a weapon. Her healing ability is also questionable after her healing caused Talic to vomit.
Vado has only met Shona twice. The first time he rambled and Vado found it hard to keep up with his illogical way of speaking and mannerisms. Shona, an acquaintance of Charce’s, also took the opportunity to repeatedly remind him that Charce hated him, which Vado was unappreciative of. The second time Shona seemed a lot more like he was in control of his faculties if not still blunt to the point of rude. Between his erratic behaviour and mannerisms, Vado does not trust this little Au Ra.
Hylda performed a ritual on Nylora, at Vado’s request, to help heal her from injuries she had sustained prior to joining the Court. Initially, Vado was angry because he believed the ritual did not work and in fact, harmed Nylora further. It was later that he came to realise that the ritual had indeed worked and helped to heal Nylora. Vado has not seen Hylda since the ritual to be able to thank her.
Vado met Daiyu when the Mistress first suggested that the two work together on establishing a security system for the mansion they had just recently relocated to. Vado was quick to develop a respect for Daiyu’s professionalism, admiring her logic and judgement and her willingness to collaborate. Vado has also fought alongside Daiyu in the field and seen the punishment she can withstand. He would trust Daiyu to have his back in any situation.
Vado was impressed with Cierra’s discipline from the moment he first watched her use her bow on a practice dummy. She is controlled and level headed, admirable given her tribal heritage, something else which drew Vado to her. Cierra is also able to commune with the stars through a deity that she prays to and has used this ability to locate a rare artifact, something that Vado hopes to help her retrieve. Vado has also requested that Cierra teach him to fight unarmed and the two have spent some time together. A friendship may be blooming if Vado can let himself see the girl behind all of her talents.
Vado has spent almost no time getting to know Cilia despite having been on several missions with her. He doesn’t even know what her abilities are. He trusts her insofar as she works for the Court. As long as she stays on that side of the fence, she is an ally in his eyes.
Kahn’a has been a friend to Vado for a long time. Although their contact is extremely sporadic due mostly to Kahn’a’s Keeper lifestyle, the few times they have talked Vado has been appreciative of Kahn’a’s support, advice and aid.
Vado met ‘Kataya’ very early in his time in Ul’dah. Her sweet nature cause Vado to open up to her a little and want to take care of her. However it quickly became apparent that her sweet nature was due in part to the tribe that she lived with as well as her upbringing. Now, he pities her but still indulges her whimsical nature more often than not and if she were ever ill or harmed, he would likely help her.
The man known to Vado only as Ozgur first introduced himself to Vado only as Ozgur. Vado was drawn to his wild looks and Ozgur helped Vado to deal with the inner hatred and rage he felt towards his father. During an intense moment of passion, Ozgur bit into Vado’s neck, near killing him however Ozgur recovered his senses in time to heal Vado, although Vado still wears the scars today.
Vado was dating Rhyan for a short time and he invited him to attend Naga’s wedding with him. Rhyan spent most of their time talking about his long lost love and even though Vado was trying to be patient with him, it grew tiresome. After Vado had met Talic and the two decided to marry, Vado thought it was right to tell Rhyan. Rhyan laughed at Vado when he told him. Vado left with a fairly negative impression of Rhyan after that.
Vado met Rinh’li in Ul’dah. When Rinh’li learned that Vado could create Magitek prosthetics, he approached Vado to make him a new eye which had been damaged during a fight. Vado was fond of Rinh’li and offered to complete the task as a gift. Rinh’li was overjoyed to receive the new eye and he and Vado parted ways amicably.
Vado met A’lehsi during an even that he, Marcus and Ahzra’li were attending. It was upon meeting him that he found out that A’lehsi was the current partner of a former Miqo’te that Vado used to date. Vado prepared for the worst with this encounter but A’lehsi was truly lovely to Vado. Later A’lehsi approached Vado and Talic to discuss the idea of having dinner all together to try to resolve any issues between the four, namely Vado and the other Miqo’te. Vado was dubious that it would work but agreed. That dinner never came and Vado has not seen A’lehsi since.
Vado used to work with Pyotyr and even though the two had relatively little to do with each other, Vado always remembered him as being kind, warm and approachable. After Vado had left the Court and sustained two bullet wounds, with no doctors on hand at the Court, Vado contacted Pyotyr and made his way back to the Shroud where Pyotyr treated him. The two are close friends and would always be there for one another if need be. They still say hello on occasion when they do see each other.
Vado met Mhridi’a recently in Pearl Lane in Ul’dah. Vado commissioned some artwork from Mhridi’a which quickly turned into something more. It seems now that Vado is going to play host for a short time to Mhridi’a and his friend, Jakkh’a if they ever meet again.
Vado’s first encounter with Sephirah entailed him attempting to claim Vado’s soul for the Void to make him a thrall. Vado was then tasked with the capture of Sephirah. While he failed to hunt him down, Sephirah did find Vado. Taking advantage of Sephirah’s failed magic spell, Vado captured and disarmed Sephirah, separating him from his scythe with the help of Charlant. During his short time in Vado’s capture, he and Sephirah had an opportunity to chat and it was here that Vado began to see Sephirah as less of an enemy and more like a lost boy who needed to be saved. How that’s going to happen yet, Vado’s not exactly sure.
Vado very recently met Y’sebe in Ul’dah. Vado was quite taken with the escort’s wit and sense of humour and as the two chatted it became clear that being an escort wasn’t Y’sebe’s only skill and it was revealed that he was an information broker, of sorts. Y’sebe was extremely intelligent and savvy with his business, if not slightly careless and Vado appreciated all of it. He is currently quite taken with this individual.
Vado met Alden whilst travelling through Kugane. As the two talked it became apparent to Vado that many of Alden’s claims seemed ludicrous to the point where it frightened him. Vado and Alden have parted ways and Vado is not sure how he’d react if they were to meet again.
