Basic Info

Birth Name: Tancred Smithson

Nicknames/Aliases: Tancred Direhammer, The Dire Hammer, Tancred the Terrible

Place of Birth: Ala Mhigo

Place of Residence: Currently resides in Limsa Lominsa

Height: 6'6

Weight:

Hair Color: Dark Brown

Eye Color: Gray

Occupation: Blacksmith's apprentice (former), Soldier (former), Adventurer

Skills: Tancred is known for his ability to wield a large, blunt weapon known as the Dire Hammer. The Dire Hammer had magical properties, such as making a loud thunderclap when striking foes, generating a force of wind when striking so that it could hit enemies a few feet out of reach, and causing tremors when it hit the ground. At the end of the Garlean war, the Dire Hammer was shattered. Since then Tancred has had to wield various other weapons, such as axes and spears. He is proficient with axe, spear, sword, mace, bow, and his own fists. He is much smarter and more agile than he looks.

Flaws: Tancred is large, making him an easy target for many. He does not trust magic, or know how to use it. He wears minimal armor, leaving him exposed.

History

Early Life

Tancred was twelve years old when the Garleans came to Ala Mhigo. While the occupation was relatively simple for the Garleans, the chaos caused by their propaganda, and the soldiers who quelled any dissenters caused many casualties. Tancred lost both of his parents, but managed to escape with a group of a few hundred refugees.
