Basic Info
Lizzo is of Garlean stock, but has lived within Eorzea for more than half his life. The son of a Garlean minor lord, Lizzo's family fled the empire when he was eight when it was discovered his mother was from Eorzea. Continuing the studies common of the upper class aboard his father's ship, the Dracon, Lizzo also learned the way of the sea and how to be a profitable pirate. After the betrayal that left his family shattered and questions upon lies and circumstance, Lizzo hid himself safely in the few shadows that existed in the sun-drenched streets of Limsa Lominsa.
Now, years and several conspirators later, Lizzo has allowed his family to attempt to regain their place in the sun. He, however, still lurks in the recesses of taverns, back alleys and pirate dens searching for answers. In the meantime he has accepted work from many different callings, both legitimate and some not as much.

Family
Father (Deceased) - Lord Remus Trange: The descendant of a minor Garlean noble family, Remus Trange was known for being a warm, jovial man who almost always had a smile on his face. A gallant man who loved his wife and children above all, those in his employ greatly enjoyed working for the man as his nature gave them a considerable amount of freedom. After his wife Meredith was discovered to have come from Eorzea, Remus gathered his family and those most loyal to him and fled Garlemald. Leaving his ancestral home of Castle Dracon, Remus had a large sailing vessel built and waiting for him when he reached the coast. Before departing for the pirate-infested waters around Limsa Lominsa, Remus hired an old friend, Crowe Bloebloud, to be first mate and help get his family to safety. Years later, Remus had become a well-known pirate captain who captured many ships sparing any aboard who did not resist. This relative peaceful approach from a pirate brought him respect from other, more light-hearted pirates, who came in droves to join him, as well as the begrudging local authorities. When an enemy ship, be it rival pirate or hostile merchants and traders Remus became a different man. His usual calm demeanor evaporated and the ice that came into his eyes brought fear to the staunchest of opponents. A master swordsman, Remus could fight five men without breaking a sweat, and up to twelve men when pushed to his limits. Unbeknownst to Remus a coup was being developed among several rival pirate groups. While the war between the Garlean Empire and the peoples of Eorzea was being fought, miles out to sea another climatic battle was being waged that saw the deaths of Remus and most of his men. Those who survived were later forced into servitude on enemy vessels or were brutally executed. In his last moments Remus fought side by side with Lizzo, swords clashing and ice bolts flying. It would not do for him to die with his son though, and Remus ordered Crowe to get Lizzo and the rest of his family to safety. Lizzo's final glimpse of his father was of a man protecting his family by holding off more than twelve men and falling only after killing half of them and being run through by four blades.

Friends
Sigmund Forrester: An orpan Hyun Midlander, he worked as a deckhand on the Dracon and became Lizzo's first friend in Eorzea. A quick wit mixed with a surprising control of anger, he was always an 'ask questions while you swing your sword' kind of guy. Growing up on the deck of a pirate ship, Sigmund decided to continue his career under the command of Lizzo's brother Natalan, serving in The Maelstrom. Still a close friend to Lizzo, he acts as a link between the two brothers. Though dedicated to Natalan and his superiors, Sigmund has often taken leave to fight on land to hone his mastery of the sword - and of course, have drinks with Lizzo and the many beautiful women of Limsa Lominsa.
Zali'ah Qin: A young Keeper of the Moon, she is one of several Miqo'te siblings who moved to the city three years ago. The youngest of her kin, 'Zall', as she is known by the few people she converses with, spends most of her time frequenting city benches and the corners of inns, her nose in a book. Her high intelligence is often not visible due to her clumsiness, a rarity for her race. Her intense interest in her tomes has lessened of late, mainly due to a young mage who has been been taking up many of her evenings with talk and laughter.
Crowe Bloebloud: Born a Sea Wolf, Crowe has the sea in his veins. His natural born attitude to the waters around Limsa Lominsa made him an ideal candidate to be first mate aboard the Dracon. Crowe served under Lizzo's father Remus he was its captain. Generally quiet and even-tempered, Crowe knew who to lean on and who to avoid among the other pirates roving the waters of Lima Lominsa. During his tenure on the Dracon, Crowe taught the young Lizzo how to read nautical maps and was the driving force behind the young noble learning how to fight with his fists and clawed gauntlets.
