↣ FIRST IMPRESSION: Standing at 5 fulms 11 ilms and weighing approximately 190 ponzes his avarage build makes him appear youthful yet somehow serious. His dark brown hair with black mixed in adds onto that effect; usually kept casual or uncombed it complements his facial features. These features, specifically his chin and jawline, hold a trimmed, scruffled beard. Darker in comparrison of his skin which is more suntanned colored. His white eyes, which are more ice colored, hold a unsettling gaze of steeled calmness.
↣ SCARS: Numerous pale scars; deep, faded, and in-between decorate his body. Across his left eye a scar adorn his face and his right cheek carries a smaller one. Upon his left shoulder towards his chest he bares a rough,large, faded bitemark scar. A Tribal Tattoo upon his left shoulder going over the left side of his chest covering the bitemark scar.
↣ CLOTHING: Ayduin's attire ranges from full coverage traveling gear, to simple city garments, or a mixture of both. Its a rare sight for him to be seen without his red scarf, something he holds dear to him, along with some type of gloves. Hidden underneath his clothing hangs a chromite necklace, with a blue fluorite worked in behind a snowflake shaped clasp.
With those he is not familiar with, cautious might be the first impulse used to describe this man; He seems to not make it a secret that he’s on his guard, perched to take action at the first sign of a threat. Yet, there is a calmness in the depths of his eyes that belie that. Reserved almost to the point of aloofness, he proceeds with caution among others, keeping mostly to himself unless directly addressed or confronted.
Among friends or comrades, however, he tends to have a more relaxed attitude, though will be serious when the time calls for it. He’s very concerned about his comrades and is truly loyal towards those he calls his friends, but tends to trash talk every now and then.
With those he trusts most, there is a genuine sort respect to him and an unfiltered honesty. Showing this in the form of a friendly rivalry. There are no secret among those he trusts, though some of his past he may be reluctant to speak of due to their emotional significance.

Childhood
Ayduin's mother was adapt in thaumathurgy. For this reason she lived a solitary live with her husband and child in a cabin on the southern borders of coerthas. Away from other people. The young Hyur was quite obstinate and reckless when he was younger. For this reason his mother decided to keep him busy, at the age of 8 his mother made him study the art of thaumathurgy under her watchful eye and teachings, however Ayduin had no compatibility for any the elements safe for the Ice aspected element, which in turn he seemed to be a prodigy of the ice element. After multiple attempts of having Ayduin manage to master any of the other elements were quickly inturned by failure. His mother did not know why Ayduin had no affinity for any of the elements, safe for ice, upon which she decided to teach him on his strong point, being ice aspected aether.
pre-calamity
As Ayduin got older he grew more wanting to learn more of his own kin. Knowing that this might hurt his mother on an emotional level he choose to guise his intentions explaining he wished to explore the surrounding lands. Where he discovers a conclave of duskwights and their thriving community near Gelmorra. The conclave grew a liking to Ayduin, however this joy was shortlived as the calamity came to pass. Seeing the calamity happening from a far during a hunt with members of duskwight conclave, he started fearing for his mother’s safety. Begging the members of the hunting party to help him ascertain the well-being of his mother. He returned home only the cabin he once called sanctuary was in ruins. Suffering from a recent collapse Ayduin with tenacity and great fear in his heart started furiously hauling out the rubble. His companions opted to do the same seeing the pain and suffering in Ayduin’s eyes. After a few bells the party managed to break through the entrance using their bare hands and any other resources that were at hand. Finally they were able to break through only to find the ravaged and broken body of Ayduin’s mother.
Post calamity
When his father came back from hunting, along with his little brother and found out his wife had died in an accident, he attempted to relieve his pain with the company of a bottle. Not being able to cope with the loss of his wife he became a drunkard. Ayduin noticing the hopelessness and later on the violence, this combined with the memories tied to the area, Ayduin opted to leave Eorzea, to start a new and more hopeful future for him and his younger brother. Having arranged passage across the ocean he and his brother managed to reach an eastern town called ‘kugane’. Out of fear of endangering his little brother and himself in kugane he choose to hid his ability to use Ice aspected aether, with this he needed to find a new way to protect himself and his brother. Having wandered around the town, begging many a master to teach him in the local art of the samurai, he eventually found a master who saw potential in him and even his little brother.
Knife in the Dark
Ayduin made good progress in his training, though quickly forsake the true ways of the samurai as he secretly attempted to combine his affinity for the ice aspected aether with the techniques he’d learn under his master, effectively manifesting his own implementations on his own fighting techniques. His master found out about this, and realizing the possibilities behind this, the master became jealous, quickly realizing that the student would outstrip the master. In an attempt to keep honor in his name, this master betrayed Ayduin by giving him up to the garleans, under the guise of saying that Ayduin had plans to start a rebellion within Doma. As a respond to this ‘threat’ the garleans opted to take Ayduin’s little brother as a way to prevent Ayduin to cause a rebellion. Using his little brother as leverage. Later Ayduin found out that the garleans had moved his brother back to Eorzea as an attempt to keep him far away from the midlander hyur.
A New Hope
Having returned to Eorzea in persuit of his little brother, the midlander hyur looked far and wide for the slightest clue he could find. On ocassion he'd get a hint, but nearly all of them were false information. Still having not found his little brother he continued the search, eventually ending up on the doorsteps of the free company named 'A New Hope'. After being asked if he wanted to join the company for work, he figured it might be a good idea if only to heavy a steady income as he was searching all over eorzea. He took a liking to the people and even stranger... within this company another elezen came to him telling him he was his half brother. Thinking it was a sick joke Ayduin got angry, that is till he was presented all the evidence. He may not have found his little brother yet, but he has found a half brother... Someone who would want to find his little brother aswell?

A brutal fight located on the nophica wells bridge made the Hyur realize that this challenger wasn't just any challenger, the person was skilled, relentless and most of all bloodthirsty. It was clear she had a goal. Ayduin managed to defeat her and with the challengers last words was presented a talisman and an explanation. The Hyur recognized the engraving from a pirates folk tale. doing some research he figured out what it does, however he can't find how. But why does Ayduin feel uneasy about it all.
