Deity Nald'thal, the Trader Nationality Ul'dah Birthplace Thanalan Occupation Immortal Flames Bloodsworn Alignment Lawful Neutral | ESTJ OverviewPersonalityCareerRelationshipsRumorsGalleryMusicOOCCredit Error creating thumbnail: File missing Second Flame Commander Kale Aideron is an Immortal Flames Bloodsworn and Eorzean Alliance commander. He is the commanding officer of the 4th Combined Brigade, a mixed regiment of career soldiers and proven irregulars. Kale is a well-known war hero within military circles and an unyielding patriot, utterly dedicated to Thanalan and willing to sacrifice almost anything for it. Kale is a fierce and accomplished battlefield commander, although his skills as an administrator of a regiment is only just satisfactory. ♦ Appearance: Perhaps unimaginatively, Kale cuts the presence and physique of a veteran combatant. With a chiseled bone structure, a low brow and narrow pair of eyes gives Kale an almost intense resting expression. He is meticulous about his appearance in the belief of maintaining proper military bearing, always shaven, and hair kept short. Every half-moon or so, Kale shaves in a new pattern associated with the Highlander clans of Ul'dah into his hair. A single scar is set across his left cheek, a couple of ilms or so in length. ♦ Clothing: It is somewhat impossible to find Kale not equipped in his iconic suit of armour; even his Grand Company overcoat tends to collect dust. When off-duty, he tends to wear Ul'dahn or otherwise unassuming attire in line with his social status as a wealthy commoner. "Loyalty to the realm asks naught else to believe in." Proud and upstanding, Kale is a hardened soldier who values forthrightness, diligence, and tradition. Though happy to joke around when appropriate, Kale is veritably no-nonsense in situations he perceives to require a suitable sense of gravitas. With high standards of himself, others, and society, Kale seeks to espouse the best of Ul'dahn military discipline, unwavering in fulfilling the duties of his station. His belligerence towards those he sees as hostile to the Sultanate's way of life is rooted in nothing more than powerful convictions and a stubborn loyalty to his worldview. Nonetheless, his professional attitude means that he will almost always put aside his personal biases when either lives or laws are in danger. Likes Warfare Discipline and hard work The countryside Strong women (and submissive men) Dislikes Adventurers Upstart foreigners Haughtiness Flippancy Trivia A very average player of the oud, an Ul'dahn variant of a lute.

Spoiler Warning: Anything written under Current Service should be considered spoilers for the Main Story Quest of FFXIV from A Realm Reborn onwards. Background Kale is said to have been descended from a long line of Highlander mercenaries who have served Ul'dah since the War of the Sisters around 1180. Kale's mother was the legendary Mactildis Quartzwall, who famously murdered her mercenary captain at sixteen summers of age when he made some untoward advances. Taking the mantle of the next commander, she single-handedly led her company to become one of Ul'dah's foremost in the space of just ten years. Upon having her son in 1543, she retired from the business and adopted the surname Aideron. Mactildis faded into obscurity while raising her son as a miner and sole parent. Kale's military career is believed to have started in 1557 as an apprentice swordsman in an Ul'dahn mercenary company. This mercenary company fought in the Sultanate's wars, defending the routes of commerce for the Ul'dahn trade empire. In 1561, Kale joined the Eorzean Alliance standing military upon its formation as an infantryman. He fought in numerous battles against the Garlean Empire until 1563 when the Alliance army disbanded. Kale immediately returned to his old mercenary company. A year later, Kale fought in the first invasion of the Amalj'aa into southern Thanalan, and spent the next eight years waging war against the lizardmen. In 1572, Kale joined the Immortal Flames on Foundation Day. Kale's first major operation with the Grand Company was the assault on Castrum Novum, with the Battles of Carteneau and Raubahn's Push later that year. Current Service Since the Calamity, Kale spent the next five years rising up the ranks of the Immortal Flames. He was placed in charge of his own unit called the Yataghans for Operation Archon, leading them into Castrum Meridanium during the Immortal Flames feint. In the calm period following, Kale eventually caught the attention of the Bloodsworn for his efforts in putting down the Ul'dahn refugee revolt and later apprehending the traitorous Ivy. Inducted as a Flame elite, Kale was placed in charge of a new regiment. Select accomplishments within the Eorzean Alliance follow...

Former Partner ≈ Unsure ✝ Deceased Non-Player Characters Astreane Surlaint - Mother - ⚯ ✝ Error creating thumbnail: File missing Alleria remembers her mother fondly, having spent more time with her in her younger years. She always had fun trying to help her mom with various activities throughout the days, such as baking cookies and venturing to Gridania to hand them to various adventurers and citizens of the City-State. Though her father was in no way mean or cruel, she got a bit more of her heart and personality from her mother. Stéphanie Jacquet - Aunt - ⚯ ● Error creating thumbnail: File missing The aunt that took Alleria in after the terrible incident that befell both of her parents, Stéphanie is the sister of Varigeant and married to an Ishgardian nobleman with no children of her own; Alleria is extremely grateful towards her aunt for taking her in like a daughter. The woman could sometimes come off as cold or strict in their time together, despite this, Alleria knows she always means well as the woman has a good heart and only wished to see Alleria grow up properly. It took Alleria quite a while to adjust to the way things were in Ishgard, as they were seemingly opposite to the way her Shroud life was. Stéphanie had a big part in making the transition easier for her by spending all the time she could with Alleria helping her cope with the loss of her parents in her earlier years. Although the two fell upon slight verbal disagreements when Alleria decided to leave in pursuit of becoming a heroic knight like her father, in the end, Stéphanie gave permission for her niece to go with blessing.

She enjoyed the years they did spend together; whether walking under the trees canopy through the Shroud together or both spending time at home with her mother, she was always happy to spend any moment she could with him.

Carina De'bayle - ⚖ ● Alleria has a good deal of respect for Lady De’bayle, a slight amount of that respect is fear based on how the three brothers seem to all shudder in fear at any mention of combatting her.

She does not know much else of her otherwise, but is looking forward to getting to know everyone in the House better.

Guillemont De'bayle - ⚖ ● Though he is her official teacher she has not had much interaction with Ser Guillemont as she would like outside of training sessions.

Joikan Leisthelm - ● Alleria considers Joikan to be somewhat interesting.

Karima Hawayek - ♦ ● Alleria has a rather good opinion of the Flame corporal, finding the Midlanders company to be pleasant. Quite fond of her in the fact that she seems quite similar to her own self, being around the same age and working hard to improve and move forward, Alleria considers the woman to be a friend. Though she has lost to Karima once before Alleria has no intent to be bested by her again. Leodaire Trevanchet - ● Alleria has respect for Leo's skill with an axe, even after suffering what she viewed as a travesty of a spar in terms of her own fighting capabilities.

She did enjoy the time they went out for tea and Shira seems very polite and honest.
