Family History
Before, his life was divided. Betwixt the upper hills of Coerthas and the Limsan valleys that reared him far from Ishgardian lineage. His mother, an un-notable class from a working family. The name of Zadiel carried little weight if not for the birds that they reared.
And his father of Durant, a far higher standing family most assuredly above their station. If not for the interest in the stock of their birds the union would never have been forged.
The house had earned a self made badge of nobility pulled from the gutters just two generations passed and into prosperity through merchant means. Most calling it a shallow bloodline - a nobility of capitalists and common hucksters. This had earned not much in the way of peoples hearts and was only contingent for deep coffers and the quick wit of an opportunist not shy to take a gamble.
The legacy of which lay upon eldest son, Thibault Durant. The chance to expand business and trade to the south would only be realized with the stock of good birds in which to carry trade, yet couldn't have been established with more notable breeders. And so the second eldest, Jacques Durant was set to marry the daughter of the homely ranch owner, Zacheray Zadiel, to Auriele Zadiel in return that the sales and renown of the family would be buffered should he be able to expand his investment through use of their fowl.
Years passed of marriage, but circumstances fated Auriele to be a widower and the Zadiel family was stricken from the record of Durant, cast aside to the outer reaches of Coerthas for reasons unknown. Auriele, was forced to relocate to Limsan soil with but a few workmen and close family willing to accompany her. Thankfully Limsan trade routes improved upon the renown of their birds and the means in which to dispatch them, their name became stronger than ever on merits entirely of their own. And steadily the years returned the sales and relations with Ishgard - Auriele, however did not return to pastures of Coerthas in official capacity.
Zithen, most assume adopted by Auriele knew no life but one of politics and conflict. His mother's Ishgardian legacy called about tales of grandeur in which the boy aspired to since before he could scarce form memory. And try as he might to form bonds with his uncle and likewise Ishgard he was fated to be scorned for reasons beyond his kinship and the closest he got within the city walls was to the old ranch pastures to visit his grandfather whom had remained on family soil. That was until the curiosity of his cousin, bore fruit to branch the gap left in the wake of Jacques Durant's passing. Whom happened to stow away on shipment to their Coerthan Ranch during such a visit forcing Thibault to recognize Zithen's existence as Auriele's son...
The years that followed ensured Zithen's stay in the north were for far longer a duration. Idolizing the tales of his late father whom fought in the war against the wurm. Shared and provided by a far younger though insightful cousin, Neraveth Durant. Constant escapes to the country from his cousin formed a bond between the pair that few could break even with the low born name of Zadiel.
Zithen, upon coming of age sought time and time again to fight in the war under the Durant name, in honor of his late father - slowly did he toil within the city of Ishgard, barred and discouraged by the Durant household whom still refused him the right to take up arms for their house and be sworn in. Constantly scorned and berated, Zithen would never see acceptance from the like of his kin and much less the household of his late father. And as the fruitless years stagnated, Zithen finally subdued, seeking glory in the south, through Ul'dah and within the Immortal Flames...
Current Situation
Zithen's wounds from Cartaneau were so severe it changed his life completely, severe enough that he was reported dead. And his name is stricken from record... His time spent in low profile jobs a means to keep himself unnoticed.
It was only later that he adapted, to the name of "Tailero Tilero" - Although few are sure why.

Combat
For a Lalafell Zithen's ruthless efficiency with buckler and sword were of proportions rarely seen, to the point it was said he hardly carried himself as a fel' at all. A keen strategist Zithen used his smaller yet robust stature to offset the balance of his enemies, often rending the hamstring tendons behind the knee, the achilles tendon or the Tibia tendon (The shin). Though short in stature Zithen was not lightweight, purposefully training his dense muscular form to withstand harsh punishment and the ability to don even heavier armor. His lower center of gravity rarely saw issue with bowling over hyur-sized advisories.
And if all else failed, Zithen was no stranger to hurling his buckler with great accuracy...
So oft was his stature taken for granted that victory was almost assured through his more brazen opponents. Those that respected and discarded racial prejudice were often able to fight him evenly.
Tendencies
Likes
Solace - a man to himself Zithen rarely sought audience with other people.
Discipline - Anything but a loose cannon, he approved of order and organization often shunning those of a chaotic and unkempt nature.
Food - No really it was about the only thing he did that wasn't reserved, favoring anything well cooked he was a decent cook himself and was seldom able to pass up the opportunity of a good meal. The only thing that could really lower his guard in social company.
Dislikes
Disorder, fickle and contradictory personalities, shallowness, lack of respect, lack of discipline and manners. And above all lack of professionalism.
And just about everything....
Hobbies/Talents
Rumor has it Zithen was a versed in culinary arts, practicing only to further upon his mothers home cooking. Beyond cold exterior he was quite the artisan of coerthan pastries.

Friends/Enemies
♡ Romantic Interest ♥ Sexual Desire ❀ Familial Love ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ● Poor Standing ☠ Deceased ❧ Work ♒ Wary ✘ Feared
Zithen made far fewer friends than Enemies in his lifetime. Those he did hold on to were close as family, most came and went in passing - but over all he held people in little regard.
❀Neraveth Durant - Cousin
Neraveth was possibly the only person Zithen entirely trusted outside of his mother. Their friendship was a bond stronger than most brothers even in the short time they spent together. After the war Zithen was declared deceased and cut off all communication with his previous family apart from his mother whom was aware of his lifestyle. Neraveth - whom stumbled onto the truth through letters to Auriele, sought to find his cousin in Eorzea and spent most of his years trying to find a 'cure' for his ailment.
●Aanzo Dinzo - Would-be-Bro-fell
Aanzo was one of few members that visited the halls of the Kindred Estate that Zithen was able to tolerate, though that said a lot considering Aanzo was also the brunt of most unfortunate jokes surrounding him at the time. He quickly became involved with the company of Trident through regular members but Aanzo was at the first and foremost of his dealings with them - and the first person he sought out upon leaving E.R.A - seeking a place in which Tailero would thrive, knowing the older Lalafell would act as a stand in mentor after he was gone. For no much more of a reason than 'he trusted him to do the right thing'. Maybe it was the wrong call, maybe it wasn't.
●❧ Kindred:
Zithen's time spent serving the kindred was tenuous at best, though he formed bonds quickly with the head of their command he took it upon himself to act as a stand in security whenever he could. The unorganized methods of management however and disagreements with the misuse of their on-site facilities in rather inappropriate fashion saw him leaving with a friend, whom offered him a chance to start over...
●♒❧ E.R.A:
Perhaps even shorter was his time spent in E.R.A - a company founded for the aid of eorzean refugees at the time. He had great kinship with Bexy Amalaryssia whom unlike others had shown him compassion and displayed some acts of great clarity within the chaos that was her life. His relations with the majority of E.R.A went well until the many disagreements took its toll, torn between loyalty to his friends and the need for stability saw him leaving the company after an outburst. His mother had become prisoner to a Garlean encampment - whom he personally failed to rescue. Auriele died staging an uprising against their garlean captors whilst en-route to the capitol. Her actions saw the rest of the captives free, though she gave her life. The instability that had taken toll on Zithen's body and tale of his mothers death lead to his eventual demise.
●❧TRIDENT:
After the events of E.R.A Zithen sought out Aanzo Dinzo and his company - though at the time acting as an amalgamation of two persona's, both himself and Tailero Tilero. In his confused and bewildered state he took solace amongst a hall of cutthroats and thieves, but accepted a bond that would prove deeper than words. It was within the company of these brethren that he allowed himself to finally pass. Leaving Tailero Tilero in their company.

OOC Fact (Things you may want to know)
Zithen Zadiel was born an Ishgardian to his mother Auriele.
His real father is Thibault Durant, Jacques Durant died in the war against dragons. The adultery committed was covered up by the Sons father/ Zithen's paternal grandfather whom had the marriage certificates buried and forced Auriele to leave Coerthan soil.
Neraveth and Zithen are half brothers.
The adultery committed by his mother is the reason Zithen struggled to commit to the war effort. The Durant's elder generation did all they could to remain disassociated with him and to halt his advance within ishgardian society. Though forced recognition of his lineage as a Zadiel allowed him entry into the city.
Zithen, the Elezen -did- die during the events of Cartaneau during the calamity. The events lead to his aether/Soul being mistakingly bound with an injured Limsan scout - Tailero Tilero, who's natural aether and memory was repressed until events that saw the seal torn and Zithen's gradual decline...
Zithen was void-touched from the time of his initial passing. Whatever clawed him back wasn't friendly.
Zithen is dead, he had repressed his emotions to keep the delicate balance of his aether secure. Which during a hightened outburst ushered the latent personality/memories of Tailero to the surface - whom for a fraction of a time existed as one person with fused memories/personalities.
Eventually Zithens Soul disappeared completely.
Footnotes
The character was retired entirely in favor of falling in-line with common roleplay standards as much of the RP during 1.0/ beginning of 2.0 had developed him to be an unbelievable and I wanted to RP a regular Lalafell.
