A migrant by trade, Flynt doesn't have much purpose nor set goals, he simply seeks the thrill of being an adventurer. Though he likes to make a name for himself in and around Thanalan, his magnum opus being able to successfully infiltrate and seize a Reaper-Class Magitek armor from Canstrum Centri, donned in an Imperial Shadow disguise. He may be a showboater in the end, but it doesn't mean he isn't any short of a formidable combatant.
