Biography

Tolivar was found, as an infant, huddled up in a hempen blanket beside the main road leading toward Quarrymill by a traveling merchant caravan. The merchants briefly took the kit into their care before they met with a rogue mercenary group in the city of Gridania. The band leader, a grand tall muscle-bound Roegadyn named Helthion Arctyrius whose skin a very deep grey complexion, solid black short-cut hair, and eyes almost glowing like the sun's light, spied the Miqo'te infant in the arms of an Elezen. Helthion inquired the nature of the kit but any known whereabouts of either the father or mother were unknown about. Deciding that the child's fate would be better gained under Helthion's guidance he offered to take the infant as his own child. Tolivar grew into a lively and wild child, being the sibling to Helthion's less than tactful sired son Galris. Galris resembled every physical feature to his Roegadyn father but lacked any sensibility and diligence. Tolivar came of age to lift and hold a short sword by his fifth year while his Roegadyn brother was going onto his tenth namesday as a young seasoned fighter. As Tolivar progressed into a stronger Miqo'te his natural born Seeker instincts conflicted to seek an influential role over the mercenary band. He often disputed into arguments and physical fights with his Roegadyn father to stake claim as the leading model. Helthion's strength alone was enough to disarm and restrain the rebellious Miqo'te adolescent. The mercenary band leader's patience was as unfathomable as his keen wit and knowledge. Helthion pushed Tolivar's strengths, weaknesses, and the Seeker's dominating qualities to their limits until Tolivar ultimately learned the hard-earned lessons and had come to respect his Roegadyn father anew, also learning the value of Helthion's teachings.

History/Timeline/Biography Cont.

By his 18th namesday Tolivar had become a fit fighter able to hold against his own father's strength, for a minimal amount of time of course. Undergoing the many exercises that were expected as a mercenary Tolivar was paired with his older half-brother Galris and sent out on survival training with the Roegadyn to a secluded landscape. Galris taught Tolivar the necessary skills to survive in the wild and more lessons on how to fight, however, Galris' was harsher pushing and relentless toward the Miqo'te until Tolivar collapsed from muscle exhaustion. Galris took the opportune, while Tolivar remained in a weakened state, to physically seduce the Miqo'te. This event stirred an uncanny fear of Roegadyn within Tolivar that he left the mercenary group becoming a vagabond. Tolivar joined with the Limsa Lominsa Maelstrom Grand Company for his own income and accepting mercenary work. Tolivar often returned to the port city to take up jobs and make exchanges for needed supplies in the local markets. He spied a peculiar Miqo'te whose dark eyes instantly sparked Tolivar's desire, however, the Seeker was reluctant to approach the other Miqo'te upon the first sighting. It was in Tolivar's best interest to frequent the Limsa Lominsa marketplace in hopes to find the Miqo'te whenever he could and out of desperate looking he accidently bumped into the Keeper. The Keeper inquired about Tolivar 'spying' which Tolivar bashfully explained his fascination with the Keeper's eyes. Tolivar came to know the Miqo'te Keeper and grew closer to Vil until inevitably into a romantic and physical relationship. Tolivar admired, desired, and loved Vil to no end and wanted to stay with the older Miqo'te. Tolivar's admiration grew upon meeting with Vil's children, the Seeker desiring to be part of the family. Vil proposed marriage, however, Tolivar was very hesitant about the idea that he returned to his father's camp inquiring advice from Helthion. Giving information that Tolivar was in a relationship with another male set the Roegadyn into a rage to the point of rendering Tolivar into unconsciousness. Tolivar returned, badly bruised, to Vil confessing that he still loved the Keeper but wasn't ready for a sealed relationship. Vil's children were loving and warming toward Tolivar that he secretly wanted to know what the love of a father was like and shyly approached Vil on the subject. Vil, overwhelmed with happiness, gave options that he and Tolivar could have a child together through a surrogate mother. Tolivar, still anxious on the idea of having his own child, finally accepted and thus through a female Miqo'te his son Ashkarian was born. Tolivar's overjoy was beyond any comprehension as he first held the infant in his arms knowing, at long last, true love as a father. Tolivar continued his line of work as a mercenary for hire and taking the time to spare with the children growing to love them evermore but often returned to his Roegadyn father seeking advice and guidance. Helthion remained very opposed toward Tolivar's relationship with another man and demanded that Tolivar stop the relationship altogether. Helthion continued hounding on Tolivar until the Seeker, with a heavy heart, packed his belongings with his son and left Vil and his adoring children. Tolivar fought the tears that beckoned in his eyes and clung his son tightly into his arms as he thought of how much he was leaving behind; the love and warmth of the Keeper. Tolivar returned to his father's mercenary group, falling into a depressed state. Tolivar often left his son Ash in the care of the mercenaries as he continued to venture out seeking work for his own gil. Coming into the Gridanian Botanist's guild he found a Miqo'te that was excelled in the gathering trades. The Miqo'te Keeper's name was Rhaq'ir Molkoh. Tolivar grew intrigued by Rhaq'ir's kind and generous demeanor that he grew closer as he came to know the Keeper more and more until they were both in a physically-romantic relationship. Tolivar thoroughly enjoyed taking charge, as a Seeker would, of their physically-romantic relationship. Tolivar returned to Gridania seeking employment for another mercenary job when he spied a Miqo'te and a Roegadyn standing together in the city square. The Miqo'te's attention was solely fixated on Tolivar's direction that Tolivar was hesitant to approach because of the sight of the Roegadyn. Fascinated with the mysterious Miqo'te's playful manner that Tolivar started playfully chasing the Miqo'te around the Roegadyn, paying no regard to the silent Roegadyn. The Keeper introduced himself as Morgan and the Roegadyn was named Kazuhiro Williams. Morgan extended an invite to Tolivar to come for a house-warming party. Tolivar gladly accepted and was able to get to know both Morgan and Kazuhiro, however, still wary of the Roegadyn. The Miqo'te Seeker and Kazuhiro were able to get to know each other one-on-one gradually allowing Tolivar to overcome his fear of the Roegadyn race, eventually their friendship evolving into a physical relationship. An internal conflict developed within the Miqo'te Seeker, having being in an intimate relationship with Rhaq'ir and being in a physical relationship with the Roegadyn, that Tolivar thought it best to introduce both his love interest and his Roegadyn partner to meet each other telling the two of them the truth. He had been relieved that the Keeper and Kazuhiro were able to accept each other. The trio's friendship blossomed into a physically-romantic relationship. Tolivar loved both Rhaq'ir and Kazuhiro but choosing one over the other as a life partner came to a difficult decision. Tolivar proposed marriage to Rhaq'ir seeking the Keeper's hand in marriage. Kazuhiro, sad but gladly accepted, wed the two Miqo'te in a private ceremony under the red glowing light of the fauna in Costa Del Sol. Both Tolivar and his husband agreed to have an open marriage granting them to have no qualms remaining in a lasting relationship with the Roegadyn. Rhaq'ir often seemed troubled but had not directly confronted Tolivar about it until Tolivar pressed on the issue. The Keeper had heard recent rumors that his birth mother was alive. Tolivar pulled information resources from other groups of mercenaries, that were in good graces with Helthion's leadership, to find Rhaq'ir's mother's location. Tolivar and Rhaq'ir set out together to search for the Keeper's birth mother, however, finding a notorious powerful monster blocking their path. Both Miqo'tes banded together with a group of strong warriors to swiftly claim victory over the vicious creature. Rhaq'ir and Tolivar found the body of a Keeper Miqo'te paladin badly wounded and near to death lying in the murky waters. Her body had been severely clawed which Tolivar presumed that she was attacked by the notorious beast.
