"His posture is the stuff of legends, and his hair the stuff of fairy tales. He leaves young girls blushing in his wake, and grown men sighing. Not an overly tall man, and somewhat slender in build, but he carries himself with the strength and dignity of a coeurl patriarch. His muscles, toned by decades of training in the ways of the knight, are long and supple. His fair skin, soft and firm, is tinted ever so slightly by exposure to the sun. His lips are vibrant and red. His eyes, bluer than the clearest sapphire, would be the crown jewels of anyone's collection."

Poised and dignified like a courel matriarch, Aldeus leaves young girls blushing in his wake, and grown men rolling their eyes.  Every detail from his manicured nails to the polish of his armor speaks of a man who read one too many fairy tales as a boy.  Daily baths with rose petal soap further the narrative.  Not particularly tall, nor well built, Aldeus nevertheless strives to the standard set by knights of legend.  Rigorous training has rendered him lithe and athletic like a trained dancer, lending a graceful elegance to his stride.
 
   
 
   
===Basic Info===
 
 
Aldeus is the young and kind hearted leader of Eorzea's legendary Knights of the Twelve.  Though tragedy forced the mantle of High Templar upon him at an early age, he has accepted the responsibility with the courage and wisdom of a much older man.  He is a defender of the weak, a healer of the sick, and a shepherd to the lost.

In the final hours of Ala Mhigo's siege, a young Aldeus was discovered at the side of his slain mother by Sir Baras Lightsong, a knight if the twelve. Determined to fulfill his knightly duty, Baras took the boy with him as he fled the aftermath of the battle. Once clear of the city, Baras discovered a locket that identified the boy as Aldeus Fenix, a member of a prominent Garlean family. How he came to be in Ala Mhigo during the siege was unknown, but unable to enter Garlemald and find the child's proper home, Baras took Aldeus with him and initiated his training as a Knight of the Twelve.   
+
No one quite knows how the four-year-old son of a Garlean aristocrat came to be in a war zone, but that was precisely where he was when Sir Baras found him, clinging to a woman's corpse, during the Empire's conquest of Ala Mhigo. Without hesitation, Sir Baras brought the boy to safety, figuring him to be an Ala Mhigan.  By the time his mistake was realized, there was no going back.  Aldeus became his charge, to be raised in Ul'Dah, amongst the Knights of the Twelve.
 
 
For fifteen years Aldeus trained diligently to hone his body and mind to a razor's edge, and at nineteen, he became the youngest ever initiated as a fully fledged knight. The timing of his ceremony wasn't entirely based on virtue however. With the Garleans preparing their next thrust into Eorzea, the order needed every able body it could muster to take to the field in defense of the lands yet unconquered by the empire.
 
  
At Carteneau, the Knights of the Twelve led the charge for the Eorzean Alliance, and Aldeus was gravely wounded before the battle reached full swing. He was evacuated to a Gridanian hospital, and thus escaped the massacre of his order. He spent a year recovering from his wounds without a single visitor. When he finally returned to the Hall of the Twelve in Ul'Dah, he found his greatest fear realized. He was all that remained.

Aldeus thrived under the Knights' care.  An enthusiastic learner and dedicated pupil, he rose through the squires' ranks despite his inability to manipulate aether.  By the time the Empire resumed its march on Eorzea, Aldeus was a front line fighter, shoulder to shoulder with his comrades at Carteneau; until a grievous wound saw him taken from the field. That wound saved him from the slaughter wrought by Bahamut's fire, but the rest of the Knights were not so fortunate.   
  
For four years he cared for the Hall as best he could, hoping that others would return. When the coffers were finally near depletion, he sent out a desperate plea asking the people of Eorzea to join him in preserving the Knights. Then, late one evening, when all hope seemed lost, a lone Elezen named Isielin answered the call. She would be the first of many.

Distraught over the loss of his surrogate family, Aldeus poured himself into his training. He fought for the Holy See until the end of the Dragonsong War, and now travels the world, helping all those he comes across.

Physical Description

"That Aldeus sure is one handsome lady." ~ Ul'Dah Citizen

Poised and dignified like a courel matriarch, Aldeus leaves young girls blushing in his wake, and grown men rolling their eyes. Every detail from his manicured nails to the polish of his armor speaks of a man who read one too many fairy tales as a boy. Daily baths with rose petal soap further the narrative. Not particularly tall, nor well built, Aldeus nevertheless strives to the standard set by knights of legend. Rigorous training has rendered him lithe and athletic like a trained dancer, lending a graceful elegance to his stride.

History

No one quite knows how the four-year-old son of a Garlean aristocrat came to be in a war zone, but that was precisely where he was when Sir Baras found him, clinging to a woman's corpse, during the Empire's conquest of Ala Mhigo. Without hesitation, Sir Baras brought the boy to safety, figuring him to be an Ala Mhigan. By the time his mistake was realized, there was no going back. Aldeus became his charge, to be raised in Ul'Dah, amongst the Knights of the Twelve.

Aldeus thrived under the Knights' care. An enthusiastic learner and dedicated pupil, he rose through the squires' ranks despite his inability to manipulate aether. By the time the Empire resumed its march on Eorzea, Aldeus was a front line fighter, shoulder to shoulder with his comrades at Carteneau; until a grievous wound saw him taken from the field. That wound saved him from the slaughter wrought by Bahamut's fire, but the rest of the Knights were not so fortunate.

Distraught over the loss of his surrogate family, Aldeus poured himself into his training. He fought for the Holy See until the end of the Dragonsong War, and now travels the world, helping all those he comes across.

Personality

Rarely seen without a wide, inviting smile, Aldeus greets everyone like an old friend. Though the Knights of the Twelve are gone, he upholds their code of honor and chivalry, showing respect to even the lowliest beggar and never turning down someone in need.
