vespasien ♱
what was once lost can always be found
ㅤintroduction :ㅤ the looks the elezen receives as he strolls through gridania are nothing short of poisonous. he seems well inoculated though, happy as you please, whistling a tune to himself as he makes for the markets. they might scorn him for his origins, for his pursuits, but his gil is as good as anyone else's and he's always willing to spend it.

it's not that vespasien would call himself proud of his heritage, but he is unfathomably and unstoppably curious and there are so few brave enough to venture into the depths of what once was. he does not suffer from such lack of character though and much of his time is spent exploring, mapping, charting. and if he happens to find something interesting, worthwhile, worth gil, well. that's all to his benefit then.

♱ biography
there's not much that could be said about the origins of vespasien castelleaux. while it can be said that the man does love to wax poetic about many subjects under the moon, he rarely seems inclined to disclose any truly personal information about himself. if one were to ask around, gridanians are at least passingly familiar with him. he turned up one day at the markets with goods to trade and that was that. suddenly, there was a new source of gossip and consternation about. seemingly to the ire of many, vespasien has never actually been caught breaking any laws, though many swear up and down he must be to make such gil, to find such treasures.what is known about vespasien castelleaux is that he's one unafraid of venturing into the depths of the gelmorra ruins and seemingly has no qualms about making such journeys on his own. many have seen him emerging from the depths seemingly none the worse for wear, always whistling some tune or another to himself. whatever he finds down there seems to suit him just fine, though certainly whatever treasures he finds to trade can't possibly come from the ruins. those have surely been picked clean.what can be said: vespasien castalleaux will occasionally offer a pretty coin for anyone willing to venture into ruins with him outside of the black shroud and those journeys always seem to turn tidy profit. and rarely has he gone off with a group that hasn't returned in full, perhaps injured and exhausted, but seemingly alive. if others have a hand in making these excursions happen, it's not known. for all the vespasien seems to talk and ramble, again, he's so very careful to keep the important details close to his chest.

♱ the truth
name : ㅤvespasien castelleaux.
died :ㅤ around 1540, sixth astral era.
species : ashkin.
origin :ㅤ the black shroud.
ah, the reason for the secrecy. the truth of the matter is that vespasien castelleaux died some years ago, a casuality in the crossfires of the autumn war that had overtaken the black shroud. his curious soul refused to return to the lifestream and as such, he still walks the lands. his body is maintained by ambient aether and other things he's not too keen to reveal to just anyone.at times and depending on the location, vespasien can seem a bit other. faded, cold, and giving off an unsettling air. that's just the truth of him creeping to the surface from under his personable facade and careful maintenance of his body.
was that too much for you?
