Personality

Nako is a very confident mage, the nature of his work, and the length of time that he has been doing it has cemented that within him. He knows he is not the strongest, but what he lacks in strength, he makes up with a large pool of mana, as well as the technical know how as to how to get the best results for the least strain.

His confidence can sometimes lead him to be at odds with others of similar personalities, though he tries to be understanding, he will often butt heads with them. Very protective of those he has taken responsibility over, this is due to an incident in the past with his sister, where he was forced to take her life.

Skills and Abilities

A wide practical and applicable knowledge of many styles of magic, including but not limited to:

  • Thaumaturgy
  • Conjury
  • Arcany
  • Blood Magic
  • Magitek
  • Curses

Beyond magic, his tutor had taught him a lesson that stuck with him for most of his life:

A strong weapon needs a good arm to hold it, as a mage your mind is your weapon, and your body is that arm.  - Jeryn Stern

Due to this he takes it upon himself to train in more mundane methods of fighting, as well as to be able to have a fallback should his magic fail him.

Unrelated to his magic is his inate ability as a Skinwalker, that rare skill that drew the attention of the Special Division to him. He rarely uses it unless he is on mission for them, as it has a tendency to freak people out.

History

Nako'li was born to a large family group of Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te in Northern Thanalan. It is there his ancestors had settled, deciding not to stay within the Black Shroud, but staying close. He lived a life as any would imagine, being brought up within a hunting society. at age 5 he was given a bow, and short spear to practice with, however, it is about this time that he and his twin sister started to display their aetheric potential. On a hunt one day, he was ambused by a pack of Peiste. His brother, Nako'a, hearing his cry leapt to his aid, holding off the peiste for while, so that Nako'li could escape to safety. As He turned to join him however, he was struck from behind by a peiste caught in the throes of death. Though his family absolved him of any guilt, he could not forgive himself.

Nako'li had always shown signs that he would aetheric potential. his mismatched eyes and face markings the colour of magic. As the strongest of the pair, at age 10 he was sent to study at the Thaumaturges Guild. Once there, a member of the Special Division heard rumors of a Miqo'te with the ability to take on the form of any he had met before. Believing that this sort of ability fell within the purview of the Division, he recruited Nako'li there and then, thus was his relationship with his longtime mentor, friend and ally, Jeryn Stern.

Jeryn was one of the Two. The two members of the Special Division that were sanctioned to study the forbidden methods of magic, thus to keep Ul'dah still with the ability to fully understand and combat those that would employ them. With the death of his own master, he had been on the look out for a student, when he came accross Nako'li. The young Miqo'te lapped up all he could, over the course of ten years, being sent to learn the styles of Conjury and Arcany, as well as developing his own methods of augmenting his aether with crystals, including a brew that could safely increase the aetheric pool that one may safely draw on using thaumaturgy.

Ten years passed, and he had proved himself upon numerous occasions, hunting down rogue mages and either binding their Aether, or removing them as a threat. Through this he became somewhat hard and distat, feeling that more could be done to educate people so that they didn't turn to the forbidden arts. Then the order came that would wreck him. There were rumors of a rogue mage in Northern Thanalan, one that matched the description of his sister. Hoping to resolve the issue without bloodshed, he tracked down the mage, following the aetheric signature with the help of his companion Carbuncle. There he discovered that it was indeed his sister and tried to reason with her, to bring her in without her death. However, in a Aether fueld rage, she turned on him,causing him to reach out with his aether, his weave escaped him however, and dashed her into a rock, breaking her skull, and killing her.

After this act, he placed himself in a  voluntary exile, only returning to his family rarely, and to perform his duty as a male of his species. The faces of those that he had killed started to haunt his dreams,and he started to drink to quiet them, though they never truly went away. 

during the time of the Garlean invasion of Eorzea and the battle of Cartinaeu, Nako'li was ordered to Garlemald, to learn all he could abut Magitek, utilising his blood magic and skinwalking abilities, he took on the role of a lower engineer, and set about his research. His study would alternate from book studies in the great library, to killing a target, and absorbing their memories. After Dalamuds fall however, he was recalled back to Eorzea.
