Short Bio
R’phael is a former Garlean soldier who purportedly defected shortly following the events at Carteneau. He now resides in Eorzea. While R’phael might consider himself a patriot, his allegiance, however, is not to the emperor. R’phael supports the people of Garlemald, and may be counted among the ranks of a rebel faction that is slowly rising within the Empire. Among certain Rogues with which R’phael associates, it is known that he was an Imperial spy. To others, he can be forthcoming about the fact that he is an expatriated Garlean. He admits to this truth as a means to “hide in plain sight.” If he is to maintain the trust of his new associates, it is better that they know the truth of his origins. Were he to keep this hidden, and the truth be revealed later, such trust may be harder to repair, at beat. At worst, it would mean his life meeting the pointy end of a stabber. In some respects, R’phael is an idealist. He hopes for a day when there will be peace between Garlemald and its neighbors.

Notable Skills and Expertise
- Marksmanship
- Martial Arts
- Reconnaissance and Surveillance
- Assassination
Notable Deficiencies
- Aetheric Instability - So far, this seems to be a problem that affects teleportation and ninjutsu. R'phael is prone to random "misfires." In the case of teleportation, he may arrive at an aetheryte other than his intended destination. For example, he may aim for Ul'dah, but end up in Mor Dohna. In the case of his ninjutsu, certain actions may fail to correctly execute.
link title==Additional Backstory UNDERGOING MAJOR REVISION == Parents R’phael’s father was formally trained as an architect and archeologist. Traveled around the world, to study ancient architecture. Aristides is quick witted with a bard-like charisma. Although rather than song, he is an orator. He inspires with stories.
Mother was initially very cautious of Aristides when they first met.
Aristides comes to the tribe, looking for a guide to some ancient ruins, or even for help navigating around beast tribes. Maybe he needs provisions. They turn him away because he is a suspecious outsider. Mother is sent to follow him, to make sure he leaves without causing trouble.
After a while, Aristides notices his shadow, and says, “You can come out. I can’t imagine it’s comfortable, schlepping through bramble.”
Their love is not the result of something dramatic. Rather, something more simple—talking.
He continues with his research: drawing, sketching, digging around for artifacts. She sometimes asks him what this or that is. He indulges her questions with answers. He tells her stories about ancient people. Of the Nymians. Of the Allagans.
