Sigue Valtier (Seeg Valt-ee-air) is a player character in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, presently on the Balmung server. A Duskwight Elezen of Ishgardian citizenship. He was a knight in service of House Durendaire, and is presently known as a traveling blacksmith. He was alive during The Calamity in 1572, five years prior to the events of the game, but was not involved in The Battle of Carteneau.

Appearance 

Tall even by Elezen standards, Sigue may appear an imposing figure at first glance, superbly conditioned muscles lining his frame beneath heavy armor. However, he still maintains the lithe body structure typical of his kind. His skin bears a slight earthen tan, and is lined with several scars, with a prominent scar reaching from the bridge of his nose and along his left cheek. Upon his right cheek lies an intricate golden mark, resembling a tattoo, which passes through his eye and continues past his brow. His left eye is a metallic silver in color, but peculiarly enough, his right eye resembles the same warm golden tone as the marking on his face. His hair takes on deep navy hues and is often worn with little regard for its style.

Sigue is most often seen wearing heavy, worn suits of armor crafted specifically to maximize protection and mobility. However, he is occasionally seen in casual attire consisting of light, loosely fitted clothing.

Personality 

Sigue is an often taciturn and introverted individual. As such, he generally speaks shortly; saying little more than what is necessary. Neither boastfully arrogant nor falsely modest, his experiences have made him well aware of what he is capable and incapable of at a given time and circumstance. During his travels outside of Ishgard, Sigue has become more able to assert and express himself with little reservation. His strong self-confidence and determination has a tendency to both motivate and concern those around him.

Having led a life deeply involved in war, Sigue feels that the innate dark intentions of others prevent the world from coming together in harmony. Because of this, he sees beauty where others cannot: in the most ordinary of trifles, in the subtle grace woven throughout a lifetime, in the unexpected kindness of a passerby. He's an understanding and good-natured person, but he is also capable of making hard-but-necessary decisions that might lead others to dislike him.

Skills 

• He is highly skilled in close-range combat. He wields heavy weaponry as if they are simply extensions of himself, and is also very proficient in martial arts.
• Considered blessed by his patron guardian, Sigue has the unusual ability to temporarily accelerate his physical and mental speed. This ability surpasses the capabilities of the body, and excessive use can lead to quick fatigue or self-inflicted injury.
• While not particularly talented in the magical arts, he has taught himself a limited amount of restorative magic for the sake of practicality.
• His combat skill has given him an exceptionally keen sense for the arts of blacksmithing and armorsmithing, and he has taken these professions up as his own.
• He is familiar with various metals and alloys. This knowledge proves beneficial to him when mining for materials for his work.
• While he is a decent cook, he often prefers to try the local cuisine of the lands he passes through.
