Though Doma fell in the end, the samurai has since laboured tirelessly to see her rebuilt. Renowned as a peerless warrior this loyal retainer dreams of a day when the shadow of Garlemald no longer darkens his homeland.
Yugiri
A shinobi in service to the Far eastern land of Doma, Yugiri took part in the nation’s failed rebellion against the Garlean Empire.When all was lost, her liege bade her take to the sea, along with many of Doma’s people, and seek sanctuary in the western lands of Eorzea. Her calm, collected demeanour belies a burning desire to face the imperials in battle once more, and redeem the failures of her past.
Garlean Imperial Army XIIth Legion Legatus Zenos yae Galvus
Leader of the XIIth Legion and crown prince of the Garlean Empire, Zenos is possessed of but a single passion: to stand on the front lines, blade in hand, and dance with death. He regards friend and foe alike with contempt, and tales of his brutality against both have spread far and wide.
