:Aelfred awoke on the shores of La Noscea on the opposite edge of Eorza. A stroke of fate and an unknown cause left him waking up to find his hands more burly, his body sore. He looked to the sea foam and found his body had reverted back to a former, crippled condition. His mind was adrift and suffered a madness from a mix of drinking too much sea water and being starved of a proper meal. A Sahagin had found his mangled form on the beach and attempted looting what was thought to be a corpse, which was met with a gnarled Highlander crazed on seafoam. The encounter left Ael with one horribly scratched, unusable right eye, and a bounty of Sahagin meat from one asphyxiated beastman. He remained here for many suns until a sea-shell collector found him distraught and returned him to civilization. | :Aelfred awoke on the shores of La Noscea on the opposite edge of Eorza.

+ | :Aelfred reunited with Fyra and Simeon, a tall lithe Knight from the company of Crows, at the Aldenard Leveworks. With a near loss of his life, Aelfred took this second chance to make amends with all he had forsaken before his departure of Eorza. The soulstone remained disappeared and he was pleased to be rid of it. He identified with Dalain Ejinn and marveled at her plight to find a home in Ul'Dah for herself and her two twin sisters. They formed a powerful bond and would become a mated pair. Her ability to hold breath for great duration did well to recover his soulstone. Aelfred originally would never desire the source of his powers again, but Dalain had almost been taken from him as a sex slave and concubine for a Dotharl clan. This specific event forced Ael to commit his greatest sin of Genocide. Only a few women and children fled to the jungles, and he accepted that the darkness of his heart remained even without the soulstole. He desired power in any form after that, and once again posted atop a slippery slope of danger that led to his near demise. | ||

Eventually he accepted his shorter form once more with the same magicks, to shed his body of its original marring. He found enlightenment in accepting the soulstone's influence without fighting it with drink and substance abuse. He rid his conscience of guilt and saw past the paranoia that anyone close to him desired to use him. Dalain offered him a gentle heart to heal with, and unfortunately she had duty as a Matriarch to leave to far off lands and try to meet with others of her tribe who were rumored to still be surviving, and desired Ael not endanger his life to go with her. | ||
+ | :Aelfred found peace at last. He was a freed man of either nation. He had comrades he could look after again. The dark thoughts and paranoia had disappeared, and he had found a real and lasting love that was only lost by a duty he wouldn't dare impede upon. A master of his own fate, Aelfred continues to live by the skills he's acquired and finding satisfaction in making small differences in lives of many who would come to call him ally, or friend. | ||

P E R S O N A
- Ael is a larger than life character who's priorities in life revolve around the frequent use and abuse of alcohol and his imported cherry-scented cigars and finding excuse to hedonize throughout the day. He is a remarkably crude and honest individual who usually offends and impedes on the sensitivities of the masses. He elects not to observe many Eorzan themes of decency, such as not belching aloud after a meal, or not pounding on tables to demand more mead and eats. He is loud, bold, merry, and lax. Aelfred will speak his mind without remorse in any setting, regardless of backlash or consequence.
In spite of his crass and unrefined demeanor, few may find more characters as approachable as Aelfred. He is quick to welcome others to his "Hearth", whether it be a simple table or the precise place he has decided to plop his rear and drink his honey-wine. His standard greeting is either pointing out a quality of the individual to tease and initiate an apology on their behalf for any infinite number of transgressions he can think of, and then proceed to request their name, title, and manner of business. He is often very curious to hear individuals' tales and feats of strength. He despises shyness in all forms, and desires that those worthy of his company be boastful and straightforward. At face value, Aelfred can appear simple-minded and rather stubborn. However, his struggle of life at an early age following the Diaspora of his countrymen, and the experience of having lived in two nations has awarded him with a great deal of worldly knowledge and philosophy. His wisdom can be off-set often by his propensity to become drunk and engage in tom-foolery, and being triggered by specific topics that incite his great rage such as slavery or Elezen behaviors of propriety.
The Highlander may best be described of as a "Lazy Bear" or an enabler, as his past friends have affectionately named him. He is often inanimate and lax, and a warm figure to welcome most who approach with good or honest intentions. He can be quick to anger and maul or lash out what he judges as a threat to the physical well being of those close to him, or his beliefs. The Achilles's Heel to Aelfred's temperament is his unwavering demeanor that earns him as many enemies as it does allies. He simply could not be bothered if he insults and belittles those he considers "meek", "needy", or "petty". Aelfred lives for the moments where others may bask in his simple and honest life style, and that the courage he lends to his allies enables them to make better men and women of themselves.
A P P E A R A N C E
- Aelfred stands out as a short and stout member of his species. He is notably short for a Hyur, and especially a Highlander. His body is massive in proportion to most Midlanders of equal height; His chest numbers forty-six ilms around with massive pectoralis muscles often bulging past his form fitting robes. He carries a slight beer gut that tilts any belts he wears down. His deltoid and tricep muscle groups are tremendous from decade of work hauling ship cargo and smuggled goods. His thighs hold proud hamstring and quadriceps that bulge like a caveman, and most his body is covered in a fine fur akin to his head hair's color, which is strangely off-white suggesting he is greatly aged, despite his more youthful features.
- His right eye is completely milky white with a traumatic cataract paired with a grotesque scar that runs vertically from brow to lower cheek bone. His left eye, however, holds a blood-red iris. He inherited it from his father, and it could mistake others into believing he is an albino were it not for his sun-kissed flesh.

Dirty Fighting
Abyssal Aether
Eventually, the darkness of his heart took aetherical form that he initially rejected and staved off with excessive drug abuse. Only recently had he accepted the magic freely, and discovered the utility and potential of the awesome powers he could call upon. Emotion is synonymous with how he can summon his Aether. Lacking a Dark Knight mentor, Aelfred meditated long on how he could use his un-restrained Aether in offensive ways. His various trials in protecting his friends and his own life added further mastery of his ability. His most common uses of Abyssal magic include draining the remaining aether stores of an individual to empower his own, or drain the life essence, and even blood of his enemies to restore his own blood supply and energy. He can conjure forth raw chaotic energy to burn and pelt his foes and blind adversaries. The pinnacle of his power comes with embracing the darkness of his heart caused by years of suffering anguish at the hands of others. It heightens his senses like a shot of adrenaline and grants more immediate access to his various utility abilities. Dark Knights refer to it as Darkside.
