Eventually being stationed in Camp Dragonhead, Guillemont's exemplary service and earned him the attention of House Fortemps. Given an official title of Knighthood, Guillemont continued to serve at Camp Dragonhead and abroad until his aunt Christienna was accused of heresy. When the accusations were proven true at Witchdrop, the De'bayle family was put under heavy scrutiny. Shortly after, House Fortemps, - perhaps to save face and exclude a potential heretic from their midst, or perhaps to aid Guillemont in putting some distance between himself and the Inquisition - gave Guillemont an indefinite assignment in Thanalan. There he stayed until the Calamity, after which Guillemont went to Mor Dhona for a time. He worked as a professional soldier there - taking odd jobs protecting caravans, collecting debts and so on.

Guillemont is socially awkward, and will often struggle to hold a conversation with people he has just met. He has been described as somewhat rough around the edges due to his seven years working amongst mercenaries and lowborn soldiers, and until recently had abandoned much of his noble De'bayle etiquette. Having rejoined his family he has been making an effort to speak in a more refined manner - though constantly thinking about his wording and tone only worsens his awkwardness. Though he finds it embarrassing after the fact, he can be impatient and quick to anger at times. | Guillemont is socially awkward, and will often struggle to hold a conversation with people he has just met.

Overview
A Temple Knight, and Knight-Errant under House Fortemps.
Background
History
Guillemont joined the Temple Knights at an early age, like his father and older brother before him. He was assigned to the Heavy Cavalry division, and received his chocobo, Muffin. Naturally suited to the military life, he rose through the ranks relatively quickly. In time, he surpassed his brother Armont in rank. Through the Temple Knights he received training with a multitude of weapons, taking a particular liking to sword techniques. When he displayed the aptitude, he was also given training in the magical disciplines of Conjury and Thaumaturgy.
Eventually being stationed in Camp Dragonhead, Guillemont's exemplary service and earned him the attention of House Fortemps. Given an official title of Knighthood, Guillemont continued to serve at Camp Dragonhead and abroad until his aunt Christienna was accused of heresy. When the accusations were proven true at Witchdrop, the De'bayle family was put under heavy scrutiny. Shortly after, House Fortemps, - perhaps to save face and exclude a potential heretic from their midst, or perhaps to aid Guillemont in putting some distance between himself and the Inquisition - gave Guillemont an indefinite assignment in Thanalan. There he stayed until the Calamity, after which Guillemont went to Mor Dhona for a time. He worked as a professional soldier there - taking odd jobs protecting caravans, collecting debts and so on. Years would pass before he overheard word of his old Thaumaturgy teacher, Susuko Suko, being in Ul'Dah. He went in search of her, only to find out after moons of searching that she had died. He returned to Ishgard and reunited with his family shortly after.
One of his contacts in Mor Dhona hired him to dig up a relic in some ruins in the Sagolii desert. Thinking this the perfect opportunity to assist his friend Uyraies Sonnen financially, he hired her to come along and assist with the search. After finding the object, Guillemont found himself subjected to terrible nightmares. In his waking hours, he found that he knew bits of information he should not have. Information pertaining to ancient voidsent and a cult that worshiped them. When he returned to Mor Dhona, he could not find the man who contracted him to dig up the artifact. Nor could he remember any details about the man when he tried asking around. No one had seen him in Revenant's Toll since he left in search of his teacher moons before. He came to fear that the man had been another dream, or that he had been subjected to some sort of manipulation...
A chance encounter with a more experienced magician, Vevekera Lelekera; with whom he had a somewhat obscure connection, led to Guillemont confirming that the source of his plight was related to the void. Shortly thereafter, he found himself able to sleep through the nightmares despite their increasing vividness and realism. After recounting one such dream to his friend Phi, she informed him that one of the monstrosities he thought existed solely in the realm of his own imagination could be found in certain ruins within the Black Shroud. Curious, Guillemont enlisted the help of her and his brothers to hunt down some of the creatures. The hunt itself provided few answers to Guillemont's ever increasing number of questions - but it did trigger yet another change in his dreams...
Personality
Guillemont is socially awkward, and will often struggle to hold a conversation with people he has just met. He has been described as somewhat rough around the edges due to his seven years working amongst mercenaries and lowborn soldiers, and until recently had abandoned much of his noble De'bayle etiquette. Having rejoined his family he has been making an effort to speak in a more refined manner - though constantly thinking about his wording and tone only worsens his awkwardness. Though he finds it embarrassing after the fact, he can be impatient and quick to anger at times.
Guillemont tries to be helpful when he can, and even sometimes when he can't - largely because it makes him feel better about himself. Loyal to a fault, Guillemont would not hesitate to put himself between a blade and a friend. However, he also would not hesitate to put a blade in to a perceived foe. To him, there is a certain level of satisfaction that comes with inflicting pain on others. He knows this is not morally correct, and it is not a trait he displays openly - usually.
Appearance
Being more social in the last few moons than the last several turns, Guillemont has taken more care in his appearance and forsaken his stubble in favor of sideburns, which he feels is just the right balance between a clean, orderly appearance and a certain rugged masculinity. His hair is black, but not quite the charcoal black of his brothers. Despite his youth, he is already beginning to go grey - likely due to stress. His eyes are a dull blue. His facial features are quite angular and his cheeks appear somewhat gaunt, further emphasizing his already well defined cheekbones. There is a scar across his right cheek, and several more on his body - the most recent of which is across the right side of his ribs. On his forehead is the traditional De'bayle sigil tattoo.
