"There was never day you could kill me one day, boy. But, not yet. Not yet." Rovin the Deceiver

Juste Fantome is a Ishgardian noble hailing from House Fantome, a clan of heretic hunters that reside in the darkness and shadow to undermine Dravanian plots against the Holy See. When Juste's father, Rovin, suddenly massacred Ishgardian patriots and fled with the family sword, Aunzeriuth, into southern Eorzea, Juste swore to bring back his father to save his family from disgrace.

Combat Art

Fighting Style

"You always look like you want to kill me Juste. Now would be a good reason to."

" I assure you, tis not my intent..." ~Artorias Mason and Juste Fantome

  • Blade: Juste has been taught to wield a sword ever since he was a boy. It was mandatory for children of the Fantome blood to be proficient with at least one sword art until the weapon becomes as natural as part of the body. Juste is well practiced in short-sword, long-sword, and heavy two-handed greatswords, the latter being vital to wield the Fantome's family sword, Aunzeriuth, the blade carried down from generation to generation. Until his father Rovin hands the sword over, Juste is familiar with his long sword, Segura, named after the ancestor of his bloodline.
  • Black Magic: Juste's Aether Eye allows the young elezen to cast spells at a quick rate and would last much longer before finding himself in need of aether. In addition, the Eye amplifies his magic, causing them to be much more devastating and destructive then would seem possible at his age. Alongside other martial arts, it was magic that came most natural to him, and he would say that such magics are his favorite method of fighting. This was one of the first signs that Juste would prove to take Rovin's place as head of the family and take upon the Aunzeriuth sword.
  • Archery: Before the plains of Coerthas became conquered by ice and snow, Juste would found solace from his noble duties in hunting and tracking in the wild. During which, he taught himself to use a bow and arrow. While he takes some pride in being proficient at aimed shots at large targets, Juste is not among the first pick for a combat archer.

Aliases/Nicknames

Relationships

Family/Clan

  • Father: Rovin Fantome, Missing in Action
  • Mother: Vianne Lansquenet
  • Older Brother: D'Andre Fantome
  • Best Friend: Toby-Luc Galivier
  • Love Interest: Avaline Vivala Lumiere

Friends

  • Kelvena Agapor:A young conjurer from Gridania and Ikus's daughter. Kelvena hasn't seen her father since she was eleven, and searches for word of him now that she is strong enough to travel. She has a warm heart, yet can be naive when it comes to protecting her friends. She wishes to be strong enough to protect everyone and re-establish the Lost Rogues. Juste was able to restore her aether capacity when she cast too much from it after trying to save Artorias Mason from a fatal wound. Currently, she is dating the bard, Markus Gladeswind.
  • Garrett Slater: A quiet, stoic, and strong Paladin of Ul'dah. His father went off to fight in Mor Dhona, leaving Garrett and his mother alone. After his father died in the war, Garrett now finds a piece of himself missing. He works as a freelance blacksmith and has contracts in all three great cities. He is quite wary of Juste, especially after finding out that the man hails from the Garlean Empire, yet understood when the man gave his life to protect them. He held on to Juste's grimoire, where the young elezen sealed his ability to cast magic, but returned it when Juste believed he had been rid of Malphret. The grimoire restored all of Juste's memories and Garrett and Juste became close allies; the elezen holding great trust in him. Juste would later return the favor when the hyur would begin to lose himself to The Black, a curse bestowed by the interaction with black magics. He did everything he could to halt the Black from taking the man over, ultimately sacrificing a majority of his aether to keep Garrett pure. In the end, Garrett was able to fight back the Black, but suddenly vanished. Juste knows the man is alive yet cannot stop and worry over his whereabouts.
  • Artorias Mason: An all-knowing Dragoon with seemingly limitless power and Imperial technology to boot. He had everything, yet lost it all to Gaius von Baelsar, and now seeks vengeance. Denies the existence of the Twelve in his misfortune. Artorias has a tendency to boast his amazing abilities and often talks down to others. It's not clear if he means to or not. He trains for his inevitable confrontation with Gaius... and to the death of the both of them. Juste considers the man a good friend, and Artorias would agree.
  • Markus Gladeswind: A bard who has fallen head over heels in love with Kelvena Agapor. While Juste and Markus did not know each other long, Markus understood how much Juste meant to Kelvena as a friend, and before Juste went to surrender himself to the Empire, the miqo'te gifted Juste with a good luck feather, in hopes that it would lead him back to them. The miqo'te is also quite the cook. WIth his sudden disappearance after going off to assist the Maelstrom, Juste would take steps to locate the miqo'te before tragedy befalls him.
  • Augustine Frost: A sellsword who has fallen in love with Garrett Slater. While that man can be seen to be rather rude and unsympathetic, he does think fondly of those closest to him, whenever it deems convenient. Juste saved the man's life from two garlean soldiers when they ambushed the man and his comrades.
  • Leilani Leilai: A young lalafel bard who lives with her family in Gridania. She was one of Juste's last targets after he sought the shard bearers, yet he could not bring himself to kill her. The girl is innocent to the ways of the world and Juste would attempt to shield her from most of it. She likes writing songs about her friends, carrying around a small notebook to aide in her lyrical construction. She made Juste promise to teach her archery.
  • Cedric Riordan: An enigmatic Ishgardian Dragoon who has appeared twice, seemingly out of nowhere, to save Juste from instances of peril. On the second count, Juste pledged undying loyalty to Cedric as the fulfillment of a life-debt. The Dragoon uncovered a plot against his own life that may tie all the way back to the Holy See of Ishgard, and Juste will attempt to prevent Cedric's doom by any means necessary. The two have bonded fast and the elezen would soon learn to lower his guard around the hyur. For the first time since Garrett Slater, here is another man who wishes no harm unto Juste and one who the elezen can place full trust with no cost to taint their friendship. While Juste at first found he was bound by oath to protect him, he now feels a sense of comradery with the man.
  • Rhagana Doomslayer A roegadyn with some sort of past concerning the primals. Not much is known about the kind Lady Rhagana or her summoned Egi, yet she is currently pregnant with Markus and Kelvena's child.
  • Surilian Blu: A seemingly timid and shy miqo'te who acts as Lady Kelvena's maid. She is always very quick to apologize for interruptions made by her, and believes that she is unworthy as a person and disposable; lacking any real future. She hides great anger in her soul, yet seems to have taken an unknown interest in Juste. This interest has slowly grown to a subtle romance, of which Juste knows. The elezen would fight feelings for her as well, attempting to tell her what he really feels. In an instance where he heard of her capture, he rushed to action to save her. When Juste finally found Suri barely alive in the fields outside Limsa, he pulled forth painful magic to heal her and carried the girl to Gridania where healers could watch over her. She would vanish shortly afterwards before Juste could tell her the truth of the feelings he bore. When he saw her again, she made it clear that he must live his own life, apart from hers. She would go to meet her death and Juste's heart broke a second time. The elezen would dash his feelings aside, wanting to never be hurt by love again. It was a feeling that brought only pain, and his heart could not bear any more.


Notable Souls

  • Ikus Agapor: The leader of a mercenary group called the Lost Rogues. Juste joined the battle of Carteneau alongside this band of mercenaries in exchange for granting him passage to the plains themselves.


Enemies

  • Edis Krad Malphret: Also known as Malphret The Mad, the Garlean scientist grew obsessed with crafting the perfect weapon to ensure the defeat of the Eorzean Alliance at Carteneau. He has been experimenting on organics for the better half of twenty years before his success with a few subjects. He is wicked and insane, a deadly combination, and has a nasty habit of surviving to plot his newest schemes every time he seems to die. He's attempted to kill the shard bearer Caen Jabari on more than three occasions, with the third resulting in his permanent death, thus ending SECT 7 once and for all.
  • Uko Tredecim: aka, Phantom Seven, A hunter from SECT 7. He has no regrets, and no emotion. He kills for nothing. In fact, he lusts for it. Since Juste's escape from SECT 7, Uko will take over, going after the Shard-Bearers. However Juste will see that Uko meets death soon. The bloody-haired elezen's recent targets were the young miq'ote Caen Jabari and his older cousin Tiergan Vashir. However before Uko could slay Tiergan with an underhanded attack, Juste would tap into the connection of his Aether Eye, stunning the killer long enough for Tiergan to finish him once and for all.
  • Kaosu Sotark: aka, Phantom Twelve, A hunter from SECT 7. Kaosu broke free from his mental restraints while Malphret had the remaining Phantoms hunt down the shard-bearers. When Juste snapped out of his trance as well, Kaosu would secretly aide Juste in keeping his sanity. He was later killed by Uko after attempting to flee SECT 7.
