Description
Though most Midlander Domans have darker hair, Argent's own comes to a good red color that has him stand out from his twin brother, Chishou. Several scars adorn his face from past battles he has been a part of with more underneath his armor should he be seen without it. His over all build on his body shows that he is quite strong with his toned muscles, yet keeps a slim build for his athletics. In recent times however, due to stress of being on the run for so long from Garlean Infiltrators under the command of Den van Vakar, Legatus of the unlisted "Shadowed Hand" Legion, his hair has grayed in some areas which prompted him to dye it to a silver-like color without the shine.
Personality
Argent tends to be laid back and openly friendly to those that would like to share a drink or tale with him. However when it comes to the defense of his friends and family, he takes on the cold, calculated soldier that the Garlean Empire molded him to be, but instead of being heartless, he keeps himself in check. However, this can be taken a step too far at times, which resulted in him taking a near-fatal injury to the chest from a Gunblade's round at point-blank range.
Recently
Now married to the love of his life, Lady Magdelena Delacroix, he has taken it upon himself to live up to the example of not only a loving husband and soon to be father, but also as a Master of Arms to House Delacroix when his wife's mother finally passes.
Combat
Naturally gifted with wielding a lance, Argent received additional training by a Dragoon of Ishgard that was a close friend of his before their death. This however did not affect his status to help in the defense of the city-state when they asked for his aid. His training does not stop at just the lance though. Additionally, he is well versed in using swords and shield, especially axes. In recent times, he discovered he could also tap into the flow of Aether and has contemplated taking on a more 'magical' line of training on the side that he learned from his friend, Mayu.
During his time on the run, he was also trained in the ways of a Dark Knight when he picked up a discarded Soul Stone in the snows of Coerthas. An old enemy, turned friend and mentor found him and brought him in to help him control this new power he could tap into, and while he could still fight as he would before, he must always be mindful of the darkness within, lest he be lost and must be put down. Though due to various injuries he received during his time with Hallr's Vanguard, he's favored using long ranged weapons and his lance once more
