The Duke Vicarious while the Archduke is absent during the ''Chains of Promathia'' story line and the leader of The Armathrwn Society. Like Kam'lanaut, she is a Zilart. Unlike Kam'lanaut, her plans are benevelont, as she is trying to stop the resurection of the death got Promathis. To do so she spent some time in Tavnazia as Cardinal Mildaurion.

* BadassPreacher: As Cardinal Mildaurion
* BigGood: Probably the biggest example in the ''Chains of Promathia'' story
* {{Foil}}: Of Kam'lanaut. Both are Zilart who have leadership positions with Jeuno, and both are trying to finish plans that have started 10,000 years ago. The difference being that Eshan'tarl's fights for Vana'diel, where Kam'lanaunt is actively trying to destroy it

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Her Alter Ego is named Mildaurion and can easily be gained before starting the ''Chains of Promathia'' storyline

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: She leads an armada of airships against Bahamuts army of dragons while the main party is dealing with Promathia

* ThePlan: A good chunk of ''Chains of Promathia'' is spent trying to figure out what her plans where her plan was to lure Promathia out in his god form and kill him then.

* AntiVillain - His jealousy leads him to commit some incredibly stupid and questionable acts, but for the most part he does what he can to stop Promathia's resurrection, [[spoiler:until Promathia brainwashes him at the end]]
* DrivenByEnvy: His jealousy of Selh'teus drives a huge amount of his actions during the story

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite his actions in ''Chains if Promathia'', he is actually quite reasonable in ''Wings of the Goddess,'' particularly in the scholar storyline where he [[spoiler:acknowledges Erlene's innocence in the string of murders he was investigating]]
* TheStarscream: He ends up trying to [[spoiler:kill Eshan'Tarl]].
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: Promathia uses Nag'molada to free himself]]

* WeirdnessCensor: No one seems to notice that he still has the body of a child, despite being close to thirty.
