+History+

Secretly born in Ishgard and raised outside of Coerthas by his father, Juteaux de Rousseau, Caeruleus lived most of his childhood in chocobo stables and the cots of knights willing to share. It was only when he was in his early 20's and after the Dragonsong war did he get fully recognized by the minor house for his excellent fencing skills and musical influence, much like his mother who was a xaela, rumored to come from a distant land. Not much is known about Caeruleus, given that the man seldom speaks to his peers. But his scars tell the tales of the harsh training he put himself through in order to please his overbearing father.However, Juteaux de Rousseau would mysteriously go missing for the rest of the years to come, leaving it to Igrix, Caeruleus' half brother, to take over the family's name and business in metalworks.
No longer under his fathers constant rule, the young xaela leaves Ishgard to travel and find the true purpose outside of his wealthy life.

Hidden Child

Beneath the snowy hills of Coerthas there was once a child adorned with horns and a tail covered in scales. Perhaps he was seen wandering around chocobo stables or maybe he was hiding away in a poorly made igloo. How peculiar that child was...

Wandering Unicorn

If you look closely, you may spot a unicorn following close behind wherever Caeruleus goes. Those from Ishgard will know that the young xaela would help keep the unicorns kept in the church well fed. Maybe this one slipped away when no one was looking?

Aether Sensitive?

Those who are sensitive to aether may notice a slight chill wrap around Caeruleus. Though he rarely uses magic, that icy stare is enough to make a grown man shiver.

Caught Staring...

Caeruleus has a habit of staring at others when he shouldn't. This might be seen as rude or judgmental to some, but rest assured that he is most likely admiring the frilly, shiny bits on your outfit! You might even get a few compliments if you're lucky!
