Judge Jredthys (16th Sun of the 5th Astral Moon) is a towering behemoth of an individual whose actually appearance is forever shrouded in a suit of ancient, rune-etched plate that seems to be bolted to his flesh. He travels Eorzea, serving the role of Judge - hearing cases and pronouncing Judgements under the apparent auspices of the leaders of the three cities. His black-and-white view on all things is rather polarizing, and his utter distaste of muddled or gray morality, thought, or lifestyle even more so. However, one can be assured that his verdicts will never be biased, and so he is still called upon time and time again to handle a variety of matters.
HE ALSO HAS A VERY IDENTIFIABLE MANNER OF SPEAKING.
Contents
Basic Info
Very little is publicly known about the mysterious, dark-armored Judge. His age, his actual appearance, where he came from, where he is going, all unknowns. What little information there is on him is derived solely from his looks and actions.
He is never seen without his armor in public, not even removing it to partake of food and drink - instead merely lifting the visor to take in his nourishment. Given his size and penchant for always remaining armored, he could easily be compared to the Dullahans - animated suits of armor that are rumored to be either a variety of ancient golem or lingering spirits unnaturally attached to their armaments. However, a careful eye would reveal that this armor is indeed bolted to something underneath, even if that something is unknown.
The Judge's actions are based almost completely on a black-and-white belief on what is "proper" that borders on zealous. Things are to be done a certain way, and people are to behave in a certain manner. While this clear-cut view on things makes him an excellent choice to oversee a court case, the fact that this belief bleeds so heavily into every other aspect of his life makes dealing with him a very unique experience. Past that, though, one might be able to hear a soul that has seen many things over the years and lost much in the process... possibly even some (or most) of his own sanity.
Those able to sense aether might see another side of Jredthys as well. While he makes no visible display of being able to use magic in any form, his aetheric aura is sizable. In fact, one might even say it should belong to something even bigger than his already substantial seven-fulm frame. The more astute might also be able to gauge that it's old, very very old. Almost suspiciously so.
His companions are few and far between. The only constant one is a brown-feathered chocobo by the name of Jury whose barding is almost as heavy as Judge's own. It has been with him for many years, and it's hard to say if it has been the same bird all that time, or if there have been a number of different Juries. No one has really bothered to ask.

Appearance & Personality
Quirks
- Very exacting and UNIQUE manner of speech. Often refers to things as "Recommended" or "Forbidden."
- Always sits up straight. Always. And sleeps flat on the bed, arms folded over his chest like a very disapproving corpse.
- His view of proper is... rather skewed. For example, it's the "proper" thing for a cutpurse to rob someone of their gil. However, it is also "proper" that they know they will be punished if they are caught.
- Will arbitrarily set rules in various situations. This can include simple conversation or even in the preparation of his food. Breaking of even these oddball rules will upset him, with the severity resulting in differing levels of Judge Card.
Strengths
- Years and years of combat knowledge and general wisdom, though the latter is often questionable.
- Physically strong and durable, almost inhumanly so.
- Never takes sides, and approaches all cases from a perfectly neutral position.
- Unshakable in his resolve and belief.
Weaknesses
- Predictable. Horribly, horribly predictable. His "proper" approach means that one can easily figure out his thought processes and how he will react to situations given enough study.
- Utter garbage at being reassuring or comforting. He might try to console someone if it seems the proper thing to do, but his monotone statements don't really help much.
- Socially incompetent, as one might expect of someone of his personality. If he were interesting in finding himself a mate, let alone making friends, he would certainly be hard-pressed to do so.
- A very angry drunk. While his tolerance is quite high, Judge getting plastered can result in a lot of shouting, violence, or likely both.
Biography
The "Early" Years
- THE FOLLOWING IS SPOILERS FOR JUDGE AS A CHARACTER. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
The "Proper" Way
- And so, when he appeared before the people again, he was as he is now. Draped from head to toe in armor, looking much like one of their own. To further cement the new start, he took on a new name. He would be known as Jredthys, Judge Jredthys. And, should he be called upon, he would pass Judgement on matters placed under his purview.
- What followed was years of wandering amongst the cities, seeking to correct wrongs and set people on the "correct" path through the laws set in place. When given permission, he would impose laws of his own - some seemingly inane and random, perhaps due to his aged mind - and provide judgements on all cases brought to him. While he never became overtly famous, word spread enough that there was a man in Black Armor who would hear any and all cases and provide an unbiased verdict.
- Over time, Jredthys managed to acquire official sanctions to handle such matters. Disputes settled between pirates gained him clout in Limsa, handling matters of coin and ownership bought him a place in Ul'dah, and serving as mediator between the denizens of the Twelveswood and the Gridanians on a few rare occasions planted seeds there. Many were made granting him such status for as long as he lived, expecting him to not live that long at all. He instead outlived many of those who gave the sanctions.
- He was not there are Carteneu, for he had not been asked to be there. However, it served as an impetus for him nonetheless. Eorzea had been broken, reshaped, by what had happened there. Now, more than ever, the world needed the Judge to help solve problems and put things back along the path of fate as spun by Nymeia. And so he continued his wanderings.
- Wanderings that brought him to Ul'dah, wherein he observed the Grindstone for the very first time. A proper, orderly way for people to fight with no one being killed in the process. It called out to something deep within that heavy armor, and... for once... Jredthys felt like he was somewhere he belonged. He would seek out the Arbiter of this event, and he would ask of him to allow the Judge to assist in this endeavor.
