Character

Appearance

Were it not for his scales and horns, Zalitai might be mistaken for an elezen or hyur at a distance. His flesh-toned skin and fair features leave him looking comparatively less alien than some others of his tribe, a trait which he used to his advantage in his early dealings with Eorzeans. His lithe frame is the result of years spent roaming the borders of his tribe's islet, a warrior-mage wielding both the martial and magical in battle against encroaching enemy tribes. Although he claims to have abandoned the former, his musculature implies a continued regimen.

Zalitai most often favors robes and light clothing. Although he occasionally experiments with modern Eorzean fashions, he most often favors tattered leathers and furs reminiscent of his heritage. More recently however he has begun to cultivate a particular image in homage to the mysterious mage to whom he owes much of his present-day talents: black robes with red or purple embroideries embellished with precious metals and jewels, razor-tipped claws at his forefingers, and an ever-present mask concealing much of his demeanor.

Personality

Despite coming from one of the more 'civilized' tribes, Zalitai's life in the steppes would still be considered hard by most Eorzeans. With limited resources, a violent and demanding faith, and the constant threat of invasion from enemy tribes, Zalitai developed a focused and callous demeanor that demands much up front, with little offered in return. The result of this, combined with ongoing struggles with Eorzean etiquette, leads Zalitai to often seem detached, offensive, or emotionally stunted. Friendship is an alien concept to him and there is a purpose to everything and everyone.

Although he has been improving his ability to appear warm and sociable for the sake of expanding his influence in the realm, the display is typically insincere. At best his tendencies create an air of superiority or mysteriousness which only creates further distance between him and his associates, although he does appear capable of more genuine affections when he isn't trying.

A firm believer in free thought, the ways in which Eorzea fears and limits its immense history of magical and technological marvels is the source of incredible strife for Zalitai. He struggles to understand how the realm's leaders would not only reject such things, but outright forbid or even attempt to destroy them. Seeking to not only preserve, but actively expand upon the wealth of Eorzea's 'forbidden' knowledge, Zalitai has thrust open the doors of his Black Vault to all who would taste of its forbidden fruit...but at what cost to them, only he could say.

Relationships

Friends

Leith'ir Eilam

Zalitai's first true companion in Eorzea, Leith was left behind to settle the affairs of the estate that would come to be known as The Black Vault. While the details of their torrid affair are known only to them, Leith ultimately bequeathed the estate to Zalitai and decided to remain by his side, abandoning his plans to reunite with his former company in Sharlayan. The two have been inseparable ever since.

Tyo'li Tayuun

Tyo holds a place of prominence in Zalitai's social circle. The first to be admitted into the newly-appointed Eldritch Collective, Tyo represents Zalitai's aspirations and hopes for the future. Never one to admit such things however, Zalitai picks on the man to keep him at an arm's reach. The fact that Tyo doesn't seem entirely trustworthy also helps to ensure that Zalitai doesn't grow too comfortable.
