Biography

Born on the Azim Steppe, Skorpio’s parents were originally from the Kha tribe. Their everyday lives involved trading and dealing with outsiders, most commonly non Auri peoples but also Auri peoples on occasion. With the threat of a Garlean attack on their land at any moment, Skorpio’s family wanted to seek refuge in a land commonly mentioned in the stories of various travelers: Eorzea. Skorpio's parents voiced their concern to the tribe's elder, and were met with backlash. Despite the backlash, Skorpio's parents continued on with their plan as intended. After arranging a deal with a foreign merchant, the young toddler his family were stowed away on a trading ship and set sail for Eorzea.
However, pirates were a common occurrence in Eorzea’s waters, and they preyed primarily on trading ships, as they were usually the most defenseless. The ship was raided for loot, and the crew was unable to defend themselves, leaving the ship's stowaways vulnerable. Skorpio’s parents made an attempt to fight back but were unable to defend themselves from the intruders. Instead of killing the 3 of them on sight, the pirates' captain offered a compromise: In exchange for Skorpio, him and his parents would live. Refuse to give him up, and all 3 would be slaughtered. With no other choice, Skorpio was separated from his family; taken as a hostage with no guarantees he would ever see them again.
The fate of his parents unknown, a young Skorpio was whisked away to Eorzea, specifically Limsa Lominsa. He was sold off to the highest bidder and taken to Ishgard, and served as nothing more than free child labor. He worked hours upon hours during both the day and night, forced to endure the elements and beaten senseless if he completed a task wrong. He was traded around multiple times before the final exchange of children was interrupted by law enforcement in Ishgard. The exchange of children may have come to an end, but the scars and torment left on Skorpio’s mind would stay with him for the rest of his life.
After the exchange was interrupted by law enforcement, Skorpio was sent off to an orphanage. Hatred and racism against Au Ra in Ishgard was still very common, due to the past misconception that Au Ra were associated with dragons. Skorpio’s selective muteness and frequent outbursts of rage didn’t help make him a prime adoption candidate. The orphanage was running out of options as far as what to consider doing with him. Eventually, a male Elezen named Xavier stepped up to the plate and adopted him, fully aware of the challenges that Skorpio would bring him. This Elezen turned out to be a retired adventurer, and had previously mastered the path of the Dark Knight, alongside many other professions. Skorpio followed the path of the Dark Knight as his adoptive father did many, many years before. After time, Xavier became one of the only people Skorpio was willing to verbally communicate with. With the help of his adoptive father, Skorpio combated his inner demons and was now on the path to a brighter future. He left the house at 21 years old and took up multiple jobs tanking as an adventurer before assisting in ending the Dragonsong war as a Dragoon.
During the events of Stormblood, a 30 year old Skorpio was reminded of the burning questions that lingered in his mind all of these years. Where did he come from? What happened to his family? While he couldn’t answer both questions, he did eventually receive closure about his ancestry. His trip to the Azim Steppe was a trip that he would never forget. Upon asking the tribe about his parents’ whereabouts, the tribe could not provide him an answer. The tribe’s elder told him stories about his family and their accomplishments, the day of Skorpio’s birth and his toddler years before his parents decision to “give him a better life.” While part of him received closure, the other part was forever curious to know the fate of his parents. The tribe's elder asked for him to remain with his tribe, and even offered up a leadership position, the one his parents held so long ago. Skorpio refused the offer. As much as he wanted to live on and honor the work his parents, there were people that needed him elsewhere. He knew he could not stay.
Now 44 years old, Skorpio continues to be a freelance adventurer, while also determined to discover what exactly happened to his family. He continues to visit his native tribe on occasion and now spends most of his time tending to his house and taking care of his family.
