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 presently travels Eorzea as a metalworker and adventurer of sorts. 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 appears as 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. His left eye is a metallic silver in color, but 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 suits of armor crafted specifically to maximize protection and mobility. An intricate silver crown fit for royalty rests upon his head. It is embedded with a single lapis lazuli, and seems especially well taken care of. In hotter climates, however, he may dress in lighter attire consisting of loosely fitted, slightly more revealing clothing.

Personality 

Sigue is an often taciturn and introverted individual. He is a man of few words, and may occasionally express some reservation, but his travels and associations across Eorzea have made him more able to assert himself in conversation. Neither boastfully arrogant nor falsely modest, Sigue is an individual who knows his limits and capabilities.

He has witnessed the ugliness of humankind numerous times, and his experiences have taught him much. No longer moved by the swells of perceived drama, he tends to favor the simple facets of life. He values the kindness of a passerby, and finds beauty in even the most simple of trifles. He's an understanding and good-natured person, but he is also capable of making hard-but-necessary decisions.

Skills 

• Highly skilled in both armed and unarmed close-range combat. Can wield heavy weaponry with ease.
• Also wields non-weaponry, mining tools in particular, with just as much ease.
• An experienced metalworker and engineer. Usually takes on freelance work during his travels.
• A skilled miner, often referred to as having a sixth sense for locating high-quality materials.
• Has exceptional hearing and quick reflexes.
• Good at raising and interacting with animals, especially chocobos.
• Has some skill in culinary arts and brewing.
• Knows a very limited amount of restoration magic.

History 

Sigue is the heir and sole survivor of House Valtier; a noble house dedicated to the raising of chocobos, which fell to Dravanian assault when he was a child. His adolescent years were spent in the care of House Durendaire. Possessing a natural talent for combat, it was simply a matter of course that he take to the battlefield, serving as a knight and quickly climbing the ranks due to his social standing and skill. He was an active participiant in the holy wars against the sentient dragons threatening the prosperity of Ishgard, and has saved as many lives as those he has slain.

His life very well may have continued that way if not for the events five years ago. It is unknown as to why he has taken leave from active duty, but it is rumoured that it was not on the best of terms. In more recent times, he is found traveling Eorzea as an exceptionally skilled metalworker and miner. During the same time periods, he has appeared on various battlefields--specifically where combat is at its fiercest--taking on jobs that many adventurers wouldn't dare consider.
