—Crista'an Vold Bunansa
Crista'an Vold Bunansa, real name Hans Nathair Bunansa Santelmont, is a player character in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. He is a pirate Mediator who travels all over Eorzea with his Free Company. Crista'an, due to his business with many unsavory folks, has become the go to source for information regarding the recent mysterious events in Eorzea. When his livelihood goes awry, Crista'an finds himself a part of a conflict between political forces that could lead to war.
Appearance and Personality
"It's all in the wind once you've realized that this realm is helmed by people no smarter than you."
—Crista'an Vold Bunansa
Crista'an is 70.2 ilm tall and has short slickened dirty-blonde hair and sideburns. He sports mostly fine material but doesn't like to dress too imposing. He wears accessories like earrings and rings.
Crista'an is a quick witted, dashing man with a sharp tongue and an even cynically expressive brow. Crista'an comes across as Self-centered and pragmatic but his trust in the core members of his crew is never put to doubt. Despite his Egotistic remarks and cunning display of apathy, Crista'an has proven time again that he is a man of solid principles and that his kind-heartedness is masked by his selfish demeanor.
Crista'an's speaks in a Queen's British accent often ending a lot of his sentences with "--and all that." Crista'an speaks in a high-tone and fancy manner much in the likeness of his Elezen father. Though his accent is reminiscent of his father, Crista'an talks through street wisdom which is reminiscent of his mother. Opinionated and strong-willed, Crista'an is very influential and has a charming cruelty to him that people receive as either extremely bold and confident or excessively arrogant and smug.
History
Early Life
1549 Born under the 25th Sun of the 6th Umbral Moon in Southern Thanalan, Crista'an, as Hans Nathair Santelmont is the only son of Father Lars Nathair Santelmont, a Twelvewood Missionary, and Maria'an Bunansa, a Hyur Small-time Trader. In 1567, ten years before a Realm Reborn begins, The Santelmont family fell apart. Maria'an, along with her son, moved out of the Forgotten Springs in search of a better life without her husband.
After many moons across the desert they reached Ul'dah but were sore to find that what little bite of prosperity they had hoped was on the dine of the syndicate. Ul'dah's seemingly merry streets fetched them little coin. Mother and son found themselves working for the Eastern Aldenard Trading Company (EATC) and at last they've stumbled upon meek stability in the Silver Bazaar.
East Aldenald Trading Company
Nathair's falling out with his father, combined with the corruption brought upon by the syndicate, made Nathair very disdainful of authority from which he dreamed of becoming free from the poverty that plague him and his mother. In 1571, six years before a Realm Reborn, Nathair took on the name "Crista'an" and went into hiding with his mother only to be seen three years later in the seas of La Noscea.
Crista'an has made a nifty living off of trading with Pirates, Lominsans who still embrace the Pirate way, going from port to port becoming the mediator between pirate transactions and keeping it all tucked away from the Maelstrom's eyes. Crista'an became so adept in this business that it took no time before he had eyes on almost all Pirate transactions in and out of Limsa Lominsa.
A Realm Reborn
"I was born a Pirate without a sea. And I didn't know it yet until I actually saw that beautiful expanse of water." -Crista'an
In 1577, Crista'an along with his crew was conducting business as usual until rumor was going around that there have been transactions that reeked of Garlean threat. Crista'an held no loyalty towards any of the Realm's great companies but a Garlean invasion could throw his whole operation as well as the pirate economy into chaos.
