Cris Ganale is a male midlander hyur hailing from the city-state of Ul'dah. Formerly a non-commissioned officer of the Immortal Flames, he fought as a phalanx trooper at the Battle of Carteneau and survived the ensuing Calamity. Afterwards, he was discharged from service and changed his primary combat arms field from sword and shield to the axe, taking up work as a mercenary for hire and professional bodyguard.

Biography

Early Life

Born to a middle-class family in the city-state of Ul'dah, the desert jewel was all that Cris knew in his early life. Though not so well-off as to never want for anything, the financial status of his family meant that he never went hungry or lacked well-fitting clothing to protect him from the elements. This is not to say he was not unaware of the class warfare rampant in the city, as he was shunned by the richer kids and the poorer alike. Because of this, he developed an introverted personality very early on, preferring to keep to himself and thereby avoiding the shame of being ostracized by others.

Of his large immediate family, the vast majority had or were presently serving in the military, instilling in him a strong sense of patriotism and the values of honor, integrity, and dignity. Because of this, he settled on a career in the military from a young age, and spent most of his youth preparing for that by studying military tactics and history, weapons and armor use, and preparing himself physically for military service. He discovered a favor of swords and focused on the development of that particular combat arm, but kept his training in the other fields balanced for the sake of not handicapping himself.

Aside from his continuous drive to prepare himself for the military, little else of note occurred during his teen years.

Military Service

At the age of eighteen, he enlisted into the Immortal Flames and was assigned to the 5th Phalanx Corps, a unit specializing in the use of heavy shields and spears to serve as a mobile blocking force against enemy infantry units. He displayed high skill with the combined use of shield and spear, as well as an impressive talent for tactics and improvisation. Though the majority of the Flames' military activity at the time consisted of ensuring the territorial integrity of Ul'dah and the occasional skirmish with the Amalj'aa, Cris distinguished himself well and earned several promotions over the course of the next five years.
