Basic Info

A young Miqo'te recently returned to Eorzea after six years spent away. Where, he won't come right out and say. Aerack puts on a broad smile and seems to be a cheerful young man with a good sense of humor. But those who meet his dark left eye can't help but shiver a little.

History

Both of his parents were lost when Aerack was still fairly young. His father lost his life to bandits shortly before the birth of his younger sister when he was three, and their mother followed four years later due to illness. This left the care of his younger sister solely on Aerack's young shoulders.

Left homeless after the death of their mother, Aerack was forced to turn to alternate means to see to it that Rhiawen was fed and clothed. He took odd jobs when he could, working to earn enough coin to keep the two of them fed. Most times, however, it came down to outright thievery or digging through refuse piles. Pride was all well and good, but it wouldn't keep his sister warm and fed. Needless to say, the pair did a fair amount of moving around during Aerack's youth.

Shortly after his seventeenth birthday, Aerack and Rhiawen ran into a Garlean patrol. Taken by surprise, Rhiawen was wounded when one of the soldiers stabbed her in the right leg with his halberd. Snatching her up, Aerack ran as fast as his legs could carry the pair of them, hoping to lose their pursuers in the trees. Sadly, the Garleans were able to track the pair of them down, and the siblings soon found themselves surrounded. Deeming the odds of victory to be near impossible, Aerack made his decision. Promising his sister that she would be just fine, he charged the officer in charge, taking a sword just beneath his ribs on the left side. Using their surprise against them, he used the opportunity to teleport his sister to safety.

When next he woke, Aerack found himself inside a cell. Apparently the power he'd called on to transport Rhiawen away had been enough to pique the curiosity of the Garlean officer. Desiring to know the means by which he'd accomplished the feat, they kept him prisoner, trying to torture the information out of him. His response was to become completely silent, as much to frustrate his captors as to keep his concentration. After three years, Aerack finally deemed himself ready and enacted his escape, murdering his guard and vanishing from the gaol where they'd kept him without a trace.

The past three years have likewise seen him once more rebuilding his strength before setting out with one goal in mind: finding his sister to make sure that she's safe.
