"For the last time, that ain't my dagger he's carrying around in his bosom. If it was, he'd be dead. What kind of amateur sticks his pigs, anyway? You're supposed to slit their throats."
- Osric, nineteen cycles of age, caught standing over a wounded Yellowjacket.

Chief Flame Sergeant Osric Melkire is a Lominsan native who found his way to Ul'dah shortly after the Calamity. Driven from his home at the age of twenty, he stowed away on a ferry to Vesper Bay and was immediately arrested upon arrival. His plea for asylum was granted in exchange for lifetime enlistment with the Immortal Flames. Osric views Ul'dah as his home, has pledged himself to the Jewel of the Desert, and now serves with The Red Wings.

Rumors

Common Rumors

  • "What, Melkire? Kid with the funny accent? Ain't he Lominsan?" - Wymond, Independent Businessman
  • "Don't know what you're on about. Haven't seen the blighter in moons." - Rand, Brass Blade
  • "Rumors are rumors. I'm not one to substitute them for truth, and the truth is that the Sergeant is a good man." -- Haruko Kokojo, Flame Corporal


Uncommon Rumors

  • "Word is, he was the one responsible for poisoning Ul'dah's water supplies, and they let him walk." - Quicksand Patron
  • "Aye, he swings by for a drink or two every now and again, him in that big old trenchcoat of his. No, I don't like serving him, that's why I have hired help." - Momodi


Rare Rumors

  • "Man's a criminal. Petty thief, and a murderer to boot. Tried to run from Merlwyb, got as far as Vesper. So there he is, 'bout to have his brains painted all over the dock, right, when Raubahn himself shows up. Now Merlwyb, she grants Melkire one last request, as per the Lominsan custom, and Melkire, he challenges the General to single combat. Says if he wins, Raubahn's honor-bound to save his life. And the Bull, he accepted, and Melkire, he won. So Raubahn holds up his end, see, beats the Admiral's hundred-man crew senseless and kicks Merlwyb herself back into the sea. Aye, that's how it happened, and don't let anyone tell you different." - Trachtoum the Tidus Slayer


Player Rumors

  • "It is an unpleasant notion, knowing that you owe another. Yet for Melkire...? No, I do not mind. Decent men weigh naught on my conscience. And he is, as I said, a decent man. I am rarely wrong." - Delial Grimsong
  • "Fooled, played, shamed, graced. And throughout all of it, he's been naught but dedicated. What about now? Well..." - Kahn'a Od'hilkas
  • "He and I are more alike than I thought. He would not cut." - Roen Deneith
  • "I'd kill the Sultana herself if Osric ordered it; I owe him that much for all the times he's saved my sorry ass. He's one of the best things that ever happened to Ul'dah or me and I'll break anyone who says different, even though he does have an obsession with attacking from behind and dirt sandwiches. Those hurt by the way. " - Askier Mergrey
  • "This man is a thief! He's stolen everything from me and will not give it back! Not that I really want any of it back, it's his to keep because I know he'll take very good care of what he's got. I'm keeping close tabs on my bottle of 'Pineapple Juice' though... That's mine! " - Kanaria Galanodel
  • "'Have a little more faith in me,' he said. So I did. Because that's what friends do, even if you think they did something horrifically stupid. But where did that end up? Getting punched by him and him later laughing at it. And I caught a glimpse of him drawing his axe to Kahn'a. I know he was controlled, but that doesn't suppress feelings of betrayal. And right now, I feel horrifically betrayed by him." - Sizha'to Chalahko
  • "His jaw cries out to be connected to my fist. Also he's good at his job I guess." - Natalie Mcbeef
  • "Master Adin gave him the gift of suffering, Master Rema gave him the gift of kindness. The slave shall give him the gift of servitude." - Jin'li Epinoch
  • "Reminded me vhat once cared for. Put me to good use, do not regret service." - Alexei Volkov
  • "Hrmpf... the man speaks as if I am still some initiate or rank amateur. I am not so green as when we first met. Perhaps it is time we clear the air, in person." - Coatleque Crofte
  • "The Sergeant's intentions are in the right place. We can't find many of those nowadays." - Xydane Vale
  • "He was so unassuming when I first met him, but I don't know what we'd do now without him. He seems to know everything, and anything he doesn't know, he knows how to find out." - Aya Foxheart
  • "He seems te be honest an' trustworthy enough, rare traits in a place such as Ul'dah, though, I get th' feelin' he won' be puttin' another knife te my throat any time soon." - Gharen Wolfsong
  • "Osric? I owe him my life. See, we were in some trouble in Northern Thanalan, and a woman almost died. I thought with my heart and leapt to save her.I did, but I almost got myself killed as well. He in turned jumped to save me after sending a message back to deal with bigger trouble in Ul'dah, and most likely ended up saving both of us. I see him as a friend, though I don't know if he thinks of me as one, and I honestly want to be a little more like him. Thinking with my head instead of my heart." - Zachary Evans
  • "He and I are of a kind, though I think he'd be loathe to admit it. I don't like him and I know he doesn't like me. Yet, in a perverse sort of way, I can trust him." - C'kayah Tia
  • "Osric hasn't come by much lately, and I've heard some really ominous things. Yes, I am worried. For Osric, and for us." - Aya Foxheart
  • "An excellent customer! Rarely have I seen someone display such a fine appreciation for the dubious. I can only hope he finds his plot devices of value." - Verad Bellveil
  • "You got a problem with my brother? Take it up with Mister Scoopers.. I'll clean up what's left. Gah! I'm ruttin' hungry!" - Leilani Belle
  • "I pray for the day he can finally retire and stop getting into danger." - Aldyet Lannis
  • "Seems alright. Man owes me a debt, which jus' means I like him more'n most." - Cenric Amaril
  • "After recent events, I wanted to hate him, but I cannot. I cannot be a hypocrite and say I would not go to extremes for the ones I love most. His sin is already done, so I say, let him redeem himself now." Kiht Jakkya
  • "He brought what looked like an army after one crazy miqo'te. Wish I had connections like that." - Franz Renatus
  • "There is- is no other person who I- I would rather call my brother." - D'lyhhia Lhuil
  • "Osric has a reputation, and more than once my decision to bring him aboard has been questioned by both fellow and senior officers. I do not question it though, on the contrary, he reminds me of an operative I once knew called the Ghost. I see in Osric the potential that will one day show itself." - Erik Mynhier
  • "Nothing more than a dog in need of a collar." - Atrium Crow
  • "I hear that his success may have gone to his head. Made him bold, too bold perhaps, forgetting the heart of what it is he set out to do. Honestly, these days I know him more as a voice, than a person. Ever on the lookout for others. I still trust him to do what is right." - Aya Foxheart
