Character
Dawson is unmistakably Gridanian; his obsession with the forest and what it has to offer has colored his entire perspective on life. Above all, Dawson treasures nature and wisdom, and he strives to learn as much as he can from the land and the experiences of his tribemates. When he met Rhesh'ir, Y'lyfriel, Tahla'li, and X'linwh in the Shroud and decided to leave the forest for the first time, it was clear that Dawson's life would change dramatically. As he travels, he still thinks of home and longs to wander the forest again, but he is starting to see the joys of the world outside of the Shroud.
Appearance
Dawson prefers simple robes and adornments; nothing flashy. He likes to traverse the wood barefoot so he can feel the earth beneath his feet, but sometimes he’ll put on sandals if the need is great. He is pretty unkempt from years of carefree outdoor living, but he has found that this matters little to most forest residents.
Behaviour
Dawson has experienced a great deal of love and loss in his life, and those events have granted him a sort of wisdom that defies his age. He is reflective, honest, and tries to see the deeper meaning in most things. However, his narrow view of the world up until now can sometimes seem alien and off-putting, depending on the subject. He is incredibly unsure of himself when placed in new and unmeasured situations.
Combat
Dawson has a good understanding of the aether around him and doesn’t hesitate to use his powers of healing and nature when the need arises.

- ■ "I’ve seen him wandering around. Nothing to worry about, other than the fact that he talks to himself a little too much." - Wood Wailer
- ■ "He’s been living here forever. I used to see him a lot more right after the Calamity--he worked himself to the brink of death." - Hyrstmill Local
- ■ "I heard he got in some serious trouble once. Not sure what he’d do wrong, though; he’s usually such a gentle fellow." - Innkeeper in Gridania
- ■ "I helped him bury each of his parents, the poor thing." - Hyrstmill resident
- ■ "I haven't held a conversation with a hyur that actually made me think twice. Dawson is... Well, I didn't know such a gentle voice could deliver harsh words. I'll keep him around." - Rhesh’ir Zhwan
- ■ "Is he odd, or is he the epitome of the Gridanian? The conjurer? I don't understand an onze of it, only that, now, we both know what it is to leave one's home. He is a kind man, but I feel I'll never fully know him." - Y’lyfriel Sikah
- ■ " I find him strange, but that's not always a bad thing. You'd confuse him for a sage if he hadn't reminded you of his connection to the elements, physically or verbally. But I also think he's naive at times. Some of his beliefs just do not work in the world. At least, I don't think they do. Still, I'd rather prefer him to be as he is; true to himself." - Onuma Ahntifi
- ■ "Dawson always ran from me. Now I hardly ever see him, let alone smell him. It's a bit hard. Maybe if I make honey tea and put it in a box, I can trap him. Er...maybe not. He kinda scares me." - Surilian Blu
- ■ "That staff. When I get my hands on that stick. I'm going to shred it into slivers of wood. Then make him lay on it. See how that pompous windbag likes it. Then again he seems interesting to talk to. Perhaps I should attempt to...NAHHH" - Liana Blu
History/Timeline
Dawson discovered the rest of his "tribe" when he witnessed Tahla'li hunting near the southern cave. After several visits, Dawson grew close to his new group of friends, and they spent their days hunting, fishing, and telling stories around the fire.
Several weeks passed; eventually, it was decided that they should travel south to Thanalan so that Lin could return to Ul'dah. After much hesitation, Dawson decided to leave his homeland and join them on their journey. On their way south, they encountered Lin's tribe, who had become tempered followers of Ifrit. The party was forced to encounter the primal, but a dormant Echo inside of them shielded them from Ifrit's influence. They were able to defeat him, but at great cost. It took some time for them to recover, but eventually, they found their way to the Great Merchant City.
They spent many weeks in Ul'dah. Dawson helped Tahla'li to find the Thaumaturge Guild and begin his studies. He also rescued his chocobo Sylvain from a particularly cruel trader. Quickly after arriving in the Walled City, it was discovered that Rhesh'ir was considered a deserter by the Immortal Flames. He was made to stand trial for his crimes, but the tireless work of Erimmont, Lyfriel, and others gave him a strong case and his punishment was severely reduced. In celebration, Dawson and some of his dearest companions decided to leave the desert to explore and enjoy La Noscea.
