Character

General

Evariste is a 32 year old Ishgardian socialite who holds the title of lordship in House Baudhuin. Caustic in nature, Evariste is an individual of cold, detached personality, finding little joy in his current entrapped state as a noble. Evariste is a passionate white mage and an ardent pursuer of foreign cultural knowledge. Due to being a person with albinism, he's rather self conscious of his appearance.

Constantly overlooked by his family and peers, he finds solace in keeping a secretive disposition and withholds all thoughts and opinions to himself. Ever eloquent, regal and sophisticated, Evariste is the typical image of an Ishgardian noble. In the most recent years, he has divorced from his now-former wife.

Personality

Evariste is a man of caustic nature and cold, detached personality, due to a neglectful upbringing and pressure of his social standing. He’s self-conscious of his appearance and image, being aware of his stark contrast to the rest of his red-haired family members. Constantly overlooked by his family and peers, he finds solace in keeping a secretive disposition and withholds all thoughts and opinions to himself. However, he holds very ardent beliefs silently, such as supporting Ser Aymeric’s pursuit in joining the Eorzean Alliance and welcoming outsiders into the prohibitive nation. Ever eloquent, regal and sophisticated, Evariste is the typical image of an Ishgardian noble.

In effort to stir the stagnation of his noble upbringing, Evariste is also an individual of various hobbies and intellectual pursuits; from indulging himself in the study of foreign cultures to sketching fashionable designs for his family’s beauty product business. Educated as a white mage, he also provides succor to the wounded.

Nevertheless, Evariste is not exempt from being a flawed individual; he can be arrogant, judgemental, capricious and stubborn. His paranoia serves both as his greatest boon and gravest of bane, often bringing out the ruthless side of Evariste.

Background

Evariste was born as the third heir to House Baudhuin, a minor Ishgardian noble house. Shoehorned as the ‘middle child’ of the family, Evariste is constantly overlooked in the house, more favourable attention has been given to his older brothers and two younger siblings. Fortunately for the young noble, he finds comfort in the companionship of his youngest brother, Gideloix.

In contrast to Gideloix’s knightly demeanor, Evariste is the graceful image of an eloquent noble, refined by Ishgardian upper-class upbringing and education. Like his brother, Evariste has also led a relatively normal and luxurious life, free from suffering and tragedies of the world. It was only once when he had a misfortune encounter with a serial killer, which befouled his memories to the present day. Furthermore, the noble had experienced a turbulent marriage borne out of loveless coupling, which led to his recent divorce.

His father’s abandonment of the family left a bitter void in the house, particularly upsetting his youngest brother Gideloix. Yet Evariste remains as Gideloix’s supportive pillar, consoling him through times in the absence of their father.
