Sure enough, it works and Sophrosyne refuses to raise them from that point on.]]

----
The Acting-Guildmaster of the Arcanists' Guild. Despite being a Sea Wolf, she devotes her time to research and intellectual pursuits rather than fighting.
* FriendToAllChildren: It's noted in ''Encyclopedia Eorzea'' that Thubyrgeim is a true teacher, and tutors children in their letters when off duty.

----
* BigBad: For the Arcanist quest line, and K'lyhia.
* EvilRedhead: Full head of red hair, and on Lominsa's most wanted list.
* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Aside from the standard crimes associated with pirates (Looting, attacking innocents, shipping of contraband and other forbidden items by the Lominsan Customs), it's very heavily implied he was also involved with the slave trade business. This was considered so bad that Limsa Lominsa, a nation of pirates, exiled him.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Poisonheart. A perfect description for a pirate and slaver.

[[spoiler:If you've completed the Scholar quest chain when you return to the Wanderer's Palace, you'll learn from the adventurer couple that petitions you to save the tonberries that Surito has been helping his tonberry brethren after the death of the Tonberry King released them from their rancor. And if you watch carefully after beating the first boss in the dungeon, he makes a guest appearance.]]
----

* NiceHat: Wears a Scholar's cap, [[spoiler:the first sign at his true identity]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:He spent a lot of it in some kind of stasis, but as the ''Encyclopedia Eorzea'' states, he's something on the order of ''sixteen hundred years old'', making him one of the oldest friendly characters in the entire game. Which means he must've been rather old even before the Green Death struck Nym.]]
* TragicMonster: [[spoiler:He fell ill and was changed while trying to help people, was sealed away with the rest of the sick, and the almost drowned and left to stew in that rancor for 1500 years.]]

* NoIndoorVoice: Almost all of Halga Tolga's speech is in the excited bubbles meant for shouting.
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:His is one of the few ages not explicitly stated in the ''Encyclopedia'', but logic dictates he's got to be around the same age as Surito.]]
* SandInMyEyes: Blames his Tonberry eyes for leaking something, before admitting he's not kidding anyone with his TearsOfJoy.
* SoProudOfYou: He shows pride in his new trainees for having bested Bitoso, though quickly reminds them not to slack off in their training.
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:Like all tonberries. He seems to have taken it much more in stride than his fellows, however.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: He's the one responsible for the tonberry plague via using unsuspecting travelers to unleash the plague, [[spoiler: and in the present he works by proxy to reignite the plague, though makes no physical appearance until the end of the Heavensward Scholar Questline.]]
* PlagueMaster: Bitoso is the source of the Tonberry plague.

* TheMedic: She's a conjurer, and assists in battle by healing.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Of the minor variation. She mentions coming to Eorzea after hearing from her sister's adventures in Eorzea during the Summoner questline. In 2.55 Y'shtola apologizes to her during her HeroicSacrifice. Theories and images of the two have already existed as they are both White haired Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te Conjurers and of the same Miqo'te tribe (Jaguar).]] In Heavensward during the main story, [[spoiler:it's confirmed the two are half-sisters sharing the same father. This is confirmed when rescuing Y'shtola from the lifestream requires a relative so the elementals know who to look for]].
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She has a brief but important cameo in the ''Heavensward'' main scenario quest, [[spoiler:participating in a ritual to draw her half-sister Y’shtola out of the Lifestream and back into the physical world]].

Known as the Dark Summoner, his goal seems to be obtaining as many soul crystals as possible to increase his power.
----
* BigBad: Of the Summoner quest line.
* DarkIsEvil: He wears black clothes and has the name Nightflicker. [[spoiler: And his Belias-egi looks like a darker version of Ifrit-egi, and he's working under the Ascians, a good guy he is not.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: His quest for power is [[spoiler:collecting Summoner soul gems and delivering them to the Ascians]].
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Tristan was able to defeat Ifrit once, that speaks leagues to his skill as someone without the Echo.
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:His brother was Tempered by Ifrit, which forced Tristan to kill his own brother and served as his motivation to destroy all primals and to gain as much power to be able to do so.]]
* GoodColorsEvilColors: Tristan wears a black version of the Summoner's Artifact armor.
* {{Irony}}: His hatred of primals for tempering his brother led him to work with Ascians (IE:the ones causing primals to be summoned) and trying to kill the Warrior of Light (IE:famed primal slayer). Y'mhitra even notes that if Tristan's hatred hadn't made him so blind, he and the Warrior of Light could have been allies.
* MaliciousSlander[=/=]WoundedGazelleGambit: Hires a mercenary to kill the player by claiming that he/she has been tempered.
* MercyKill: [[spoiler:To his own tempered brother]]. Though how much "mercy" was in the act is up for debate.

He returns in ''Stormblood'', having assembled a unit of rookie Summoners that he wishes the player to train.
----
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Dancing Wolf was Tristan’s commanding officer before the latter’s descent into villainy, and he views stopping him as his responsibility.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: His unit took part in an operation to defeat Ifrit. They succeeded, but suffered massive casualties—many soldiers were killed and many of the survivors were tempered.
* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:After learning that the Ascian of the Twelfth Chalice corrupted Tristan and reanimated Tristan’s brother as an undead thrall, Dancing Wolf vows to defeat him and avenge his subordinates.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: He failed to realize just how badly Tristan was affected by being forced to kill his own tempered brother, and holds himself responsible for Tristan’s subsequent descent into villainy. By extension, he also views the operation that lead to Tristan’s brother being tempered in the first place as this.
* SwordAndSorcerer: He has this dynamic when fighting alongside the player, being the Sword to the player’s Sorcerer.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler:He is angered by the Ascian of the Twelfth Chalice reanimating Tristan’s brother as an undead pawn, and vows to make him pay.]]

[[folder:Crispin, Denise, and Jajasamu]]
[floatboxright:
'''Race:''' Midlander Hyur (Crispin, Denise), Dunesfolk Lalafell (Jajasamu)\\
'''Discipline:''' Summoner]
A trio of rookie Summoners under Dancing Wolf’s command, eager to test their abilities against the player as part of Principia’s second test.
----
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: All three of them can summon Ifrit-Egi, indicating that they were able to defeat the Primal in combat. Jajasamu can also summon Titan-Egi, indicating that he beat Titan as well. By the end of ''Tales of the Storm'', Crispin and Denise have defeated Ifrit ''five times''.
* MilitaryMage: They’re a unit of Summoners within the Immortal Flames, and at least one of them—Jajasamu—holds the rank of Lieutenant.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Jajasamu, as a lalafell, is the shortest of the three. He’s also the most powerful, as he’s the only one to have beaten Titan in addition to Ifrit. Accordingly, he holds a higher rank than Crispin and Denise.
** In ''Tales of the Storm'' it's revealed that Jajasamu was a member of the Company of Heroes, which is how he fought Titan.
* {{Stripperific}}: Their Summoner uniforms cover the arms and everything below the waist, but leave their chests mostly bare.

[[folder:The Order of the Twelfth Chalice]]
[floatboxright:
'''Race''': Ascian\\
'''Discipline''': Summoner, Gladiator, Conjurer, Thaumaturge]
An order of lesser Ascians who serve directly under Lahabrea and the overall villains of the Summoner storyline, being the ones who taught Tristan how to summon the corrupted Egi. Most interaction with the order is a single Ascian implied to be their leader, though more members are eventually shown.
----
* BlackMage: As can be expected of an Ascian at this point, he can cover the ground in void pitch and call meteors that will explode if they land in close proximity to each other.
* ColonyDrop: As mentioned above, their leader is able to call down meteors during his boss fight.
* TheDragon: They're directly in service to Lahabrea and only loyal to him, making their leader this.
* GreaterScopeVillain: To Tristan, though for the ''Heavensward'' summoner storyline he steps up to bat as the active BigBad.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: The one you most interact with is slain at the end of the 60 summoner quest, it's implied that, either because he's not as powerful or as a trade-off for his necromancy, he's unable to abandon his body so he dies with it. This is also the first Ascian that has been killed by a method ofter than the Blade of Light.]]
* {{Necromancer}}: [[spoiler: He's capable of reviving dead tempered as loyal thralls, and can use the fact that they were tempered as LoopholeAbuse to grant them Egis, his master plan is to build an entire army of Summoner corpses like this.]]
* SummonMagic: The leader can summon Egis of his own accord, and owing to his incredible aether reserve as an Ascian, can manifest ''all three'' at once instead of being limited to one at a time.
* TarotMotifs: of the Minor Arcana subtheme, the final battle with him has him aided by Ascians of the Twelfth Sword, Staff and Pentacle.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Principia]]
A talking book created by the ancient Allagans to act as both a teacher and an instruction manual for future generations of summoners. Having been awakened by the increasing frequency of primal summonings, Prin is eager to impart its knowledge unto a worthy student.
----
* AnimateInanimateObject: It’s a hopping, talking book. With [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily sharp teeth]] coming out of its pages.
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:After successfully imparting its knowledge to the Warrior of Light, Prin returns to its slumber to wait for a new age in which its knowledge might be needed.]]
* {{Familiar}}: Principia was imbued with its intelligence by the Allagan master summoner Sari, and acted as his familiar.
* InSeriesNickname: Prin. This is a rare instance where the character themselves suggests the nickname: Principia recognizes that its name is a bit of a mouthful, and offers Y'mhitra a choice between Prin and Pria. She chooses the former.
* MeaningfulName: Principia is the plural form of the Latin word principium, which means “foundation”—quite appropriate for a textbook on summoning techniques.
* RuleOfThree: It subjects potential students to three trials, and will only share its knowledge of Allagan summoning techniques if the student passes all of them.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: [[spoiler:Prin’s third test is meant to assess how prospective summoners will act in a life-or-death situation, and determine whether they’re the type of person who would use a summoner’s power responsibly or abuse it for personal gain.]]
* SpellBook: A sentient magical book containing a wealth of information on ancient Allagan summoning techniques.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Master Sari]]
[floatboxright:
'''Race:''' Midlander Hyur\\
'''Discipline:''' Summoner]
A master Summoner from ancient Allag. He created Principia to ensure that the knowledge of summoning techniques could be passed down to future generations.
Despite having lived thousands of years ago, he—or someone who looks like him—suddenly appears during the player’s third test…
----
* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler:The Summoning Node is no longer operating as intended. Instead of seeking out potential Summoners to train, it now lures them to their deaths.]]
* TheArchmage: Master Sari was recognized as the greatest Summoner of his time.
* TheAssimilator: [[spoiler:The Summoning Node can sense that the Warrior of Light has more “potential” than Master Sari did, so it plans to kill them and create an Egi in their likeness to replace the Sari-Egi.]]
* BigBad: Of the Summoner storyline for levels 61-70.
* CynicismCatalyst: He was originally an idealistic man, but the deaths of his students at the hands of the people they were trying to protect left him bitter and cynical. [[spoiler:This led him to create the Summoning Node late in his life, and then kill himself to ensure its activation.]] Dancing Wolf puts it best:
--> '''Dancing Wolf:''' Prin here is the embodiment of the hopeful ideals of Sari’s younger self. [[spoiler:The murderous machine]] of his latter years is the product of frustration and anger and grief.
* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: His reason for creating Prin. Since Summoners were being persecuted in his lifetime and new Summoners can only be trained during rare periods of increased Primal activity, Sari compiled his knowledge into an instruction manual so that it would not be lost to future practitioners. [[spoiler:Later in his life, he created the Summoning Node for the same purpose.]]
* FlunkyBoss: [[spoiler:The Summoning Node is almost completely defenseless, and relies on the Egis and monsters that it summons for protection. It also can’t be harmed until all of its flunkies have been destroyed.]]
* {{Foil}}: [[spoiler:The Summoning Node is this to Principia. Both are intelligent magical constructs. Both were created by the real Master Sari to pass his knowledge on to future generations, one using purely magical methods, the other using technological ones. Prin represents Master Sari’s idealism and wants to ensure that its knowledge is used for the greater good, while the Summoning Node represents his later cynicism and only seeks out students to further its own ends.]]
* LightIsNotGood: He has white hair, dresses in all-white Channeler gear, and does not have good intentions for the Warrior of Light.
* MagicFromTechnology: Late in his life, Master Sari began experimenting with computers as a new summoning medium in place of traditional grimoires. [[spoiler:The Summoning Node, an artificially-intelligent robot with the ability to summon Egis by performing complex mathematical computations, is the ultimate fruit of his research.]]
* MesACrowd: [[spoiler:The Summoning Node conjures multiple copies of its Sari avatar during its boss fight.]]
* MythologyGag: His name is a reference to Madain-Sari, the village of Summoners from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX''.
* PosthumousCharacter: The real Sari has been dead for millennia. Dancing Wolf’s Summoner squad speculate that the Sari encountered by the Warrior of Light might be a clone of the original. [[spoiler:It’s much more complicated than that.]]
* PsychoticSmirk: He ''never'' drops that smirk off his face, even in battle.
* RoboticReveal: [[spoiler:“Sari” is actually the Summoning Node, an “evocation matrix” with an artificial intelligence based on the real Sari’s personality. The Sari you’ve been chasing around is an Egi avatar created in the real Sari’s likeness.]]
* SerialEscalation: Tristan could summon the powerful Belias-Egi, and the Ascian of the Twelfth Chalice could summon all three of the regular Egis at once. How does Master Sari top them both? [[spoiler:By summoning ''dozens'' of '''Sephirot-Egis''' at once during Prin's third test.]]
* SinisterGeometry: [[spoiler:The Summoning Node’s true form is a sphere.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Beating up the Summoning Node causes it to summon more Sari-egis and stronger monsters in a desperate attempt to kill you and its speech becomes more distorted and focused on wanting the Warrior of Light dead. When it's nearly destroyed, it summons Sari-egis non stop, but they are incomplete and can only attack you with their books.]]

[floatboxright:
'''Race''': Padjal\\
'''Discipline''': White Mage]
->''"Some burdens are too heavy to bear even for those so favored to abide."''
A calm and intelligent Padjal who leads the Conjurers' Guild.
-----
* AChildShallLeadThem: Or at least someone who appears to be a child.
* TheAtoner: Of a sort. [[spoiler:He is harsh with Sylphie and opposes her style of healing because Sylphie's mother used the same techniques, and said techiniques cost her her life. E-Sumi feels ''intensely'' guilty over not intervening in the case of Sylphie's mother sooner (and thus feels responsible for Sylphie being an orphan) and is absolutely determined to make sure history does not repeat itself.]]
* GreyEyes: Of the wise and mysterious variant.
* MagicStaff: His conjury radical.
* OlderThanTheyLook: As one of the Padjal, naturally he's much older than the boy he appears to be. As the ''[[AllThereInTheManual Encyclopedia Eorzea]]'' tells us, he is in fact over ''two hundred years old''.
* PutOnABus: Was originally introduced as the top ranking Seedseer back in ''Legacy''. However, with the end of the original story line and the introduction of the Seventh Umbral Era, he essentially became a background character, and nearly vanishes once Kan-E-Senna is introduced.
** TheBusCameBack:
*** Becomes guildmaster of the Conjurers' Guild in ''A Realm Reborn''.
*** Also returns in the "Kindred Spirits" Dark Knight quest. [[spoiler:He is the one who figures out that Rielle has dragon's blood within her, making her spiritual presence far older than her body.]]
*** Comes back for the second half of the White Mage quests in ''Stormblood'' to keep an eye on Sylphie, who is assisting the Warrior of Light in looking out for a child in the East End.
* LimitBreak: [[spoiler: The final White Mage quest in ''Stormblood'' has him cast Pulse of Life, the same level 3 limit break that a healer player can use, to revive Sylphie while also fully recovering Gatty the player's HP.]]
* MistakenAge: Sidurgu mistakes E-Sumi-Yan for a boy, but the Conjurer corrects the "young man" that he is several times his age.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Generally, although Sylphie has a tendency to push his buttons. [[spoiler: Her mere attempt at ''being'' a Conjurer pushes his "guilt" button, for one. In ''Stormblood'', he is willing to let Gatty stay with her mother as long as she learns to control her magic, even though Gatty is a Padjal who belongs in Gridania.]]
* TheStoic: He is almost always unflappable, which comes with the territory of [[SeenItAll being a couple hundred years old]]. The only thing that manages to budge him is Sylphie's behavior [[spoiler:and, specifically, his worry that her unrestrained healing will kill her, much as it did her mother, whom E-Sumi still feels guilty over.]]
* {{Transhuman}}: Like the Senna siblings, he is a [[HornedHumanoid Padjal]]. He also happens to be the eldest Padjali, not to mention the oldest living person in Gridania, by ''far'', being at least ''two hundred forty'' years old.
* WhiteAndGreyMorality: He certainly wants to help people, but his dedication to the Elementals of the Twelvewood's also means occasionally his hands are tied, and he can't provide much help should someone commit an action that brings about "Greenwrath" upon them.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: In the level 70 White Mage quest, he gives one to [[spoiler: Gatty]] to rouse them out of their despair when they believed that they [[spoiler: killed their mother (it was never her fault) and getting Sylphie killed in the battle against a voidsent]]. They bounce back after hearing his words of encouragement.
-->'''E-Sumi-Yan''': The candle of life burns down for us all. You cannot blame yourself...[[spoiler: Gatty!]] Remember what your mother wanted for you!\\
'''[[spoiler:Gatty]]''': What Mama wanted...?\\

A young Hyur girl who has a talent for healing, yet refuses to practice the concepts of conjuring the elements.
-----
* AnAesop: Serves to remind novice players that their duties as Conjurer/White Mage extend beyond simply healing; throwing out damaging abilities and dodging can be just as important as Cure and Raise.
* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:After losing her healing abilities after trying to cast Raise.]]
* CastFromHitPoints: The inadvertent source of her healing abilities, due to her refusal to embrace nature.
* CoolBigSis: Has this sort of relationship with Gatty, who looks up to her for teaching her how to control her powers.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Raise is treated as this to her, to the point where E-Sumi-Yan threatens to expel her from the guild if she tries to use it. [[spoiler:This is because she's using her ''own'' life force to cast it, and doing it too much will kill her the way it killed her mother.]]
* GenerationXerox: A subversion. Just like her mother, Sylphie refuses to learn how to conjure the elements of nature. After she tries to cast ''Raise'' and [[spoiler:her healing power runs dry as a result]], she reluctantly learns how to conjure like she's supposed to, and finds it ''wonderful'', which leads to her questioning why her mother refused it. [[spoiler:She finds her mother's old journal which explains that she refused to conjure nature because she could hear the angry voices of nature and believed that tapping into it made the Earth angry. Sylphie then refuses to conjure at all, and tries to protest against the use of it, until she witnesses conjurors and elementals fighting side by side to quell a threat, and learns that humans can work in harmony with nature to the benefit of both.]]
* HearingVoices: [[spoiler:At the end of the Conjurer questline, she's revealed to be able to hear the voices of the Elementals and is now receiving training to become a Hearer]].
* HeroicBSOD[=/=][[HeroicRROD RROD]]: [[spoiler:After trying to cast Raise, she loses her ability to heal and is severely weakened, even wondering if she is now going to die.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She is less than kind to her fellow guildmates, constantly blow off lessons, and isn't that respectful towards even E-Sumi-Yan. But she truly wishes to help people with her healing abilities, and her behaviour mostly comes from feeling like the guild is just keeping her from doing just that.
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:Due to shunning the lessons of conjury in favor of solely focusing on healing.]]
* TheBusCameBack: Is entirely absent from ''Heavensward'' but makes a return in ''Stormblood'' to assist the Warrior of Light.
* TookALevelInBadass: Her return in ''Stormblood'' has her using white magic skillfully between healing and offensive spells compared to her first appearance in ''A Realm Reborn'' where she only healed and didn't use attack magic until she confronted her fears. She can heal the player's HP in huge amounts. [[spoiler: When E-Sumi-Yan revives her with Pulse of Life, it's revealed that she has far more HP than E-Sumi himself!]]

Two Padjal siblings who help the player become a White Mage. They are two Seedseers from Gridania, and the younger siblings of Kan-E-Senna. Raya-O is older than her brother A-Ruhn, and the one who gives out the actual quests.
-----
* BlindingBangs: A-Ruhn-Senna's red hair completely hides his eyes.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: A-Ruhn as the foolish and Raya-O as the responsible. Kan-E is more responsible than them both, however, because even Raya-O tends to bicker sometimes.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Comes with being White Mages. They're also close with the Moogles of the Twelveswood.
* {{Jerkass}}: A-Ruhn, at first, to the player. He warms up later.
* MagicStaff: As a focus for their magic.
* NatureHero: They're Seedseers who can divine the will of the elementals, like their sister.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Not as extreme as some fellow Padjal, but Raya-O just hit twenty-one as ''ARR'' starts, and A-Ruhn is 18. They're both, needless to say, a bit short compared to normal Hyur of their age.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler: Raya-O is this towards Alaqa after her plans are thwarted. Raya-O reminds Alaqa that she must pay for her crimes against the Twelveswood, but she can become a better person and will be given the support she needs. Speaking to Raya-O after the scene has her revealing that Alaqa is slowly opening up to her.]]
* SiblingTeam: They're both powerful White Mages and often aid the player in battle and purifying the Twelveswood.
* WhiteMage: Both of them, like their elder sister.
* WalkingTheEarth: [[spoiler: A-Ruhn at the end of the level 60 White Mage quest realizes that he cannot help the forest by just staying there and he must wander the world like A-Towa had done if he truly wishes to help everyone. Raya-O stays in the Twelveswood to continue her duties.]]

In doing so, he/she stumbles across a White Mage [[UpgradeArtifact Soul Crystal]]. Raya-O decides this makes you the heir to A-Towa-Cant's legacy, though A-Ruhn disagrees.
A-Towa-Cant, in life, traveled Eorzea aiding those who needed it. He eventually met his end at the hands of Kobolds after entering their territory.
-----
* TheCavalry: [[spoiler: Just when things are bleak and the PlayerCharacter and the Sennas are about to be overwhelmed by wildlife affected by the anger of the forest itself as they attempt to perform a necessary ritual to calm the Twelveshroud's Elementals, he comes back from the afterlife to provide some much needed support.]]
* NamedWeapon: Thyrus, his Conjury implement. Conjury tools apparently need to be made of wood, but Thyrus is unique in that it's made of ''petrified'' wood.
* OlderThanTheyLook: An example up there with E-Sumi; even before his death, the man was pushing ''two hundred'', and still looked pretty youthful, although his hair had gone silvery (which may be a mark of an older padjal).
* PosthumousCharacter: Is only known by what you learn of his life while learning the ways of the White Mage. [[spoiler:His spirit appears during the calming ritual to aid you in fending off the enraged wildlife, after which [[ButNowIMustGo he apparently departs for the afterlife]]]].
* WalkingTheEarth: Likely the first among all Padjal, A-Towa did not stay in the Shroud, but traveled the land offering help wherever he could. The ''Heavensward'' continuation explains part of that mission was fighting back the Taint.

By the time of the present day, the man had passed on, but Eschiva took up his task of tending A-Towa-Cant's grave. When the taint spreads again, she goes with the Warrior of Light to find the source.
-----
* BladeOnAStick: She's a Lancer, it comes with the territory.
* BrutalHonesty: She doesn't hold back in telling the Seedseers that people don't look up to them as much because of their hesitation to leave the Twelveswood, as the padjal are the ones who should be protecting the people of Twelveswood but they've been relying on the Warrior of Light and her.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Once the matter of the corruption is resolved, Eschiva announces she will be escorting A-Ruhn-Senna on a pilgrimage across the realm, like her grandfather once did for A-Towa-Cant.
* WhatTheHellHero: She calls out the Seedseers on their insistence of remaining in the Twelveswood when they are needed elsewhere. These words cause Raya-O-Senna and A-Ruhn-Senna to reconsider their stances and agree to leave the forest to help out. [[spoiler: This also causes A-Ruhn to follow in A-Towa's footsteps by wandering around Eorzea to help people in need and purge whatever corruption that threatens the Twelveswood.

She's also [[{{Foil}} the opposite]] of Raya-O-Senna and A-Ruhn-Senna; while the siblings' duty is to purify all sources of corruption so the forest isn't in any pain, Alaqa tries to spread the corruption to cause pain and suffering to everyone. [[spoiler: She does all this because she and her people were persecuted relentlessly, leaving her all alone.]]
* {{Dracolich}}: [[spoiler:the "spoils" of her research, a powerful undead dragon under her thrall.]]

* HornedHumanoid: An Au Ra with black curved horns.

-----
* AngstNuke: [[spoiler: In the level 70 White Mage quest, she's already torn up over the death of her mother and blames herself for it. When a voidsent kills Sylphie during the fight, Gatty blames herself for that as well, which causes her to let out a scream that inflicts massive damage to the player and E-Sumi-Yan while pushing them back several yalms.]]
* DishingOutDirt: [[spoiler: Once she gets over her despair in the final quest, she begins to fight back against the voidsent with her Stone spell.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: In the ''[[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/tales_from_the_storm/sidestory_01/#sidestory_01 Tales from the Storm]], Gatty makes a minor appearance way before she's properly introduced in the White Mage quests in the game. She is found by M'naago, who takes her back to her mother.
* TheHermit: Lives alone in a forest with her mother and avoids people. Her interactions with Sylphie has her open up a bit.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: She's already a nervous wreck over her mother's health, but she's pushed over the edge when a voidsent taunts her by blaming her for her mother's death. This causes her to scream out in anguish, which has her aether spiking through the roof and thus making her a tasty meal for the voidsent that taunted her. Gatty is completely unresponsive (she only screams again when the voidsent kills Sylphie during the battle since she blames herself for her death as well) while the player fights the voidsent off. It takes some encouragement from E-Sumi-Yan to drag her out of her despair and giving her the courage to fight.]]
* HornedHumanoid: [[spoiler: She's a Padjal, which isn't revealed until she loses her hat.]]
* HealingHands: [[spoiler: In the final quest, she'll start casting powerful Cure spells on you if needed.]]
* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler: A powerful voidsent taunts her over her mother's death and says it's her fault because she dragged her sick mother around everywhere they went. When Sylphie is defeated by the voidsent in battle, Gatty goes into an even deeper despair as she blames herself for letting Sylphie get killed (E-Sumi-Yan manages to revive her thankfully). It takes Sylphie, E-Sumi-Yan, and the Warrior of Light to convince her that she is not at fault for what happened to her mother.]]
* MagicIsAMonsterMagnet: Her aether, and by extension, her magic, attracts powerful voidsent because her powerful emotions (fear, sadness, etc) magnifies her powers and that makes her a huge magnet to the voidsent seeking to feast on her aether.
* NiceHat: She wears a very large beret type hat. [[spoiler: This is to cover her horns and hide the fact that she's a Padjal.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:While this isn't the case yet, this is ultimately Gatty's fate due to being a Padjal, and it likely isn't long before she stops physically aging if she hasn't already.]]

After [[spoiler:Cocobusi's possession]], the brothers work to overcome their cowardliness that resulted from their lessons in order to [[spoiler:rescue him.]]
** As told in one of the Tales from the Calamity, despite their generally cowardly nature the 5 Lolobuki brothers were the only thaumaturges that answered Nanamo's call to help stop rioting in Ul'Dah immediately after the Calamity. Their bravery there was what led Cocobuki to be named Guildmaster of the guild, especially since it came to light that the previous guildmaster was corrupt and cowardly, willing to incinerate scared citizens trying to enter the guild during said riots.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Dresses in very dark clothing but is a good person.
* EyepatchOfPower: Of the bandage kind.
* InTheHood: Like his brothers.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: In the immediate aftermath of Bahamut's destruction, rioting broke out in the streets. Nanamo, who was praying to Nald'Thal in the Thaumaturge's guild requests aid from the guild to help calm the rioters down. Of all the members of the guild, only Cocobuki and his brothers stepped up to help. Using their magic, they were able to grab the attention of all the rioters so Nanamo could speak to all of them. For their help, they were put in charge of the Thaumaturge's Guild. [[AllThereInTheManual None of this is actually stated in game, but in a supplementary story.]]
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Inverted. He is the only one wearing a black hood while his brothers each wear a red hood.

An infamous Lalafell Black Mage who had been imprisoned for over 100 years for a terrible crime he committed. Managed to escape with extreme ease, and claimed that the Gates to the Void were about to break open and unleash darkness upon the realm. He, and his assistant Lalai, recruit the Player Character skilled in the ways of the Thaumaturge to assist them in preventing this from happening by teaching them to control the power of the void.
----
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: Killed three of his friends and fellow studiers of Black Magic in a moment of greed for more power for himself. Immediately regretted it once he saw the results of it. He willingly let himself be held in Ul'dah's most notorious prison for 100 years, even though he could easily escape at a moment's notice, only using his power to recruit the descendants of his friends, an apprentice, and another Thaumaturge (the player) to correct his wrong doings when the time was right.]]
* DeathGlare: Pulls an extremely effective one on a member of the Thaumaturges' Guild for constantly interrupting his dire warnings about oncoming doom and trying to stop him. They effectively stand still and shut up for the rest of the conversation.
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler: His final goal, after recruiting a group capable of banishing the demon created by the sacrifice of his three friends from his own actions.]]
* DemonicPossession: Does this to Lalai.
* GameFace: When exercising his power, Ququruka's face will be covered with shadow and his visible eye glows yellow, giving him the classic Black Mage face.
* MouthOfSauron: He is said to commune with Nald'thal, the god of Death and Commerce, who is also the Thaumaturges' patron deity. He chooses the Player Character to become a Black Mage because Nald'thal predicted it. [[spoiler:His actual reasons for doing what he does are a bit more personal.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: It's revealed in the level 50 Black Mage quest, that 100 years ago, he, and the ancestors of the three beastmen who help you, were first studying the arts of the Black Mage, seeking to learn what power it had. Unfortunately, while performing a rite to help them gain the power, in a moment of selfish desire for even greater power, he changed one of the invocation lines to another. He got power, but his three friends were sacrificed and turned into a giant demon. He used his new found power to seal the demon into a statue, and concocted a different story of his crime, when turning himself in, willingly letting himself be imprisoned.]]

* ZeroApprovalGambit: [[spoiler: Used false documents and used magic to implant false thoughts into the Thaumaturgist guild for a different crime that he hadn't commit, to cover up the crime he did commit. Used this strategy again at the end of the Black Mage quests to convince the Player, his apprentice, and the decedents of his friends that he was really just using them to gather more power, so that they would have no qualms fighting him, and the demon created by his actions.]]

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Despite having no visible feminine traits, she has been referred to with female pronouns and mentioned female members of her lineage before ending with her.

A Hearer from the Conjurers Guild in Gridania. The Seedseer Council has sent him to find a man who is wielding black magic, the forbidden art of destruction, and bring him to justice for using it. He is very much concerned about the situation being worse than first thought when he realizes there are two black mages. The player, who is wielding the powers of forbidden magic and the man he's seeking to bring to justice, for wildly attacking others with the magic without provocation.
----
* BrainySpecs: A Conjurer and always wearing glasses.
* BullyingADragon: Throughout the first half of the questline, he has no qualms against being a bigoted JerkAss to you even though you know the highly destructive and forbidden art of Black Magic, which, theoretically, could make you one of the most powerful mortals in all of Eorzea lore-wise. And let's not even get into the Player Character's backstory from the 2.0-2.5 Main Scenario storylines...
* {{Hypocrite}}: He's quick to condemn the Player and Lalai for their knowledge of Black Magic, using the War of the Magi as an example of the destruction it can cause, though Lalai notes immediately after he leaves that the war didn't get catastrophic enough to cause an Umbral era until White Magic became involved too, something Zhai'a doesn't seem to acknowledge.

[[folder:Shatotto]]
[floatboxright:
'''Race''': Lalafell\\
'''Discipline''': Black Mage]
The mother of black magic. Shatotto was a thaumaturge from the nation of Mhach prior to the time of the War of the Magi. Among her legendary exploits include the creation of the Stardust Rod from a fragment of a comet that she blasted away from the planet with her magic, and the development of the Gem of Shatotto; the selfsame Soul Crystal the Warrior of Light now uses to safely command the power of black magic without destroying themself. Shatotto herself died long ago but, unknown to all, she hid a copy of her mind and memory away, waiting for a competent black mage to discover the secret and release her memory, allowing her to take someone as a vessel and command another as a weapon, to avert a coming catastrophe. She chooses Lalai and the Warrior of Light, respectively.
----
* BloodKnight: Shatotto relishes in the destructive power of black magic and her first and preferred answer to any problem is to destroy it utterly.
* BrainUploading: Of a magical variety. Shatotto placed a copy of her mind into an ancient bowl, which would one day be uncovered by our heroes. The copy of Shatotto's memory acknowledges that she isn't literally Shatotto herself, but is close enough that there is little practical difference.
* ColonyDrop: It was said that Shatotto called down a meteor to strike the planet ''just because she could'', using its fragments to forge the Stardust Rod. In actuality, Shatotto ''prevented'' a far worse impact by using her magic to blow a meteor off course so that only a few of its pieces struck Hydaelyn.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Shatotto hates the large hats mages have taken to wearing in the present day and is very vocal about it. She always takes off Lalai's hat when serving as the dominant personality.
* InsufferableGenius: She ''invented'' black magic as we know it and is every bit as arrogant and condescending as her namesake Shantotto.
* MythologyGag: She is one letter away from having the exact same name as [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Shantotto]], another diminutive-but-horrifically-powerful black mage, and the person who served as the inspiration for her character. There are a few notable differences, though. While Shatotto created the discipline of black magic, Shantotto is "merely" the most powerful practitioner alive. Also, Shatotto does not share Shantotto's penchant for rhyme.
--> "Oh dear, you really aren't very smart. Very well, I shall begin from the very - er, beginning. Dear me, did I almost rhyme? Who ''does'' that, anyway?"
* NamedWeapon: Fights with the Stardust Rod. Fitting since she invented it in the first place.
* RedBaron: According to Zhai'a, one of Shatotto's more charming titles was "Death's Handmaiden".
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: When Shatotto is in control of Lalai, Lalai's green eyes turn gold.

[floatboxright:

'''Epithet''': Leveva Heavensreader, Lady Leveva\\
'''Discipline''': Astrologian]
An Astrologian sent from Sharlayan to teach their brand of astrology to the Isgardians, in her grandfather's stead.
----
* {{Astrologer}}: She's the teacher of Sharlayan's school of Astrology in Ishgard.
* {{Blackmail}}: [[spoiler:Does this twice, the first on Forlemont using his missive, evidence that he put out a hit on her and her entourage the Warrior of Light included, to get him to stop meddling in their affairs. The second time is on Sevestre, forcing him to [[FakingTheDead pretend that she was killed]] or else reveal his ties to her father's murder]].
* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: When Jannequinard reacts with shock to the first suggestion of blackmail, Lady Leveva states that they're merely letting [[spoiler:Forlemont keep his life]] in exchange for a little assistence in furthering their just and noble cause. No more, no less.
* DamselInDistress: She is captured more than once by the bandits you first encounter in the storyline.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:Takes on her father's name after having her death faked.]]
* DeathFakedForYou: [[spoiler: She blackmails Sevestre into lying that she has been killed so that Sharlayan will not go after her anymore.]]
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Unlike [[RobeAndWizardHat her grandfather]], she doesn't wear her robe's pointed hat.
* ImportantHaircut: [[spoiler:Gives herself one at the end of the quest line.]]
* InformationWantsToBeFree: Thinks fate demands the knowledge of astromancy be spread beyond Sharlayan's borders. [[spoiler:Her father had similar goals]].
* GenerationXerox: [[spoiler:Jannequinard mentions that she reminds him a lot like her father. And she has similar goals of teaching Sharlayan Astrology outside her homeland. Eventually she takes on his name.]]
* NonIndicativeName: Her name is rather Lalafellin, though she is a Midlander Hyur.
* PaperThinDisguise: [[spoiler:The members of Ishgard's Astrologians are quick to do some LampshadeHanging about Leveva's "disguise" after the Level 60 quest. Simply cutting one's hair and declaring herself "Lord Rufin" does not change the fact that she still has bright purple/pink hair, and that they know her well enough that they keep instinctively calling her Leveva. Not to mention her attire and voice still makes it obvious its her.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Leveva doesn't mince words with Jannequinard over his lack of progression in astrology over the twenty years since he had started.
* StarPower: As befits the job, she sends the Warrior of Light to gaze upon certain constellations, to open the gates and synchronize their aether with the constellations.
* TellMeAboutMyFather: Asks this of Janne when she learns he was her father's friend.
* WalkingTheEarth: [[spoiler:After faking her death, "Lord Rufin" travels through Ishgard and Dravania using astrology to heal the wounded and spread its good name]].

Leveva's pupil, and the only Ishgardian student of Sharlayan astrology.
----
* BreakTheHaughty: Once Leveva arrives and the player character gets involved, he gets mercilessly taunted for being bad at Astrology and his slow growth despite the length of time he had to learn. This combined with the Warrior of Light appearing and suddenly blowing through in days what he's been stuck on for years forces him to re-examine his life.
* CharacterDevelopment: Starts off as a SmallNameBigEgo, gets destroyed for it, then realizes that while he can't help by being as good as Astrologian as the PC, there is one thing he's ''very'' good at, politics. [[spoiler: Thanks to this, he ultimately gets the Noble court to walk right into Leveva's hands and help Sharlayan Astrology spread despite them trying to pull a ReassignedToAntarctica on them, this, combined with his actual growth as an Astrologist, finally gets Leveva to acknowledge him as worthy of the mantle.]]
* NiceGuy: He does have a bit of an ego, but he only wants to make certain that the wonders of astrology spread to help others, like his OnlyFriend Rufin wanted. He's just blocked at every turn because he ultimately has no power to change things until the others get involved.
* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: Up until he meets the Warrior of Light, Jannequinard hadn't furthered his studies in Sharlayan astrology for twenty years, rather he would spend his days chasing women and being seen as a harmless nuisance by Ishgardian astrologers.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Initially, he seems to be under the impression that just knowing Sharlayan astrology makes him some great person, though when Leveva arrives she quickly demolishes him by pointing out that he had done nothing to advance Astrology's cause and, despite having decades, hadn't opened a single gate to advance his learning.
* TheUnfavorite: [[spoiler: Judging from Forlemort's comments as well as what Jannequinard himself says at the end of the 3rd Level 50 quest, his family doesn't hold him in high regard compared to his older brother.]]
* WellDoneSonGuy: The "Shalayan Ascending" quest reveals that [[spoiler: his initial reason for studying astromancy was to impress his father, [[TheUnfavorite who only cared about his older brother]]. Jannequinard stopped caring when he realized that he will never see him as anything but a loser.]]

----
* DeusExMachina: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by her during the Level 40 quests, when not only does the info she have leave out the fact of a second Astrologian (The player) also being part of Leveva's party in Limsa Lominsa, but the fact that members of both the Rogues' and Marauders' Guilds [[note]]V'kebbe the Stray, though passing her self off as a fisher and Broenbhar Rocksplitter, respectively[[/note]] as well as Commodore Reyner of Limsa Lominsa's Navy and the Yellow Jackets all provide TheCavalry to rescue Leveva, Quimperain, and the Player Character.

* TheHeavy: Her attempts at kidnapping [[spoiler:and later murdering]] Leveva drive the plot of the questline. [[spoiler: Her employer is not even known until after she is killed]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When you first face her in the starting Astrologian quest, if you observe her you'll notice she's a very rare enemy [[BadassBookworm arcanist.]] [[spoiler: Arcanima is a very mentally demanding form of magic, hence why most NPC arcanists outside the Arcanist questline are originally from Sharlayan.]]
* MasterOfDisguise: She has impersonated a pirate captain and a Temple Knight, both times convincingly enough to enable her to kidnap Leveva. She also has other warriors masquerade as Knights, Serpent Reavers, and Leveva herself to aid her.

[[spoiler:He is unwilling to see Astrology as anything more than a way to track the dragons' movements, and the only reason he even helped his nephew and Leveva hold an audience with the Vault is because he knows that the clergy will see Sharlayan's methods as too heretical.

* CorruptPolitician: [[spoiler:Had Leveva's father killed for spreading Sharlayan knowledge, used that to keep it within boundaries and destroyed any evidence he could find tying him to the murder. Additionally, it's mentioned that the group he leads have blackmailed and schemed their way to the point where their members make up the greater part of the Sharyalan senate, effectively making him the leader of the entire society.]]
* FantasticRacism: He deems ''any'' non-Sharlayan as a savage to not be granted the time of day and treats them learning of Sharlayan knowledge as a crime against nature, [[spoiler: That's why he had Leveva's father killed, and attempts to do the same to her once she becomes an issue.]]

* InstantExpert: Compared to Jannequinard and the Warrior of Light, Kyokuho takes to astromancy remarkably quick and opens four of the six heavens in the time it takes the player to go from level 60 to 63, or one moon[=/=]month according to optional dialogue from Jannequinard.
* MagicWand: Kyokuho wears a one-handed wand on his hip to channel his geomancy which, in gameplay, functions like conjury.

She takes this very much in stride thinking it a chance to actually build up her own foundation in magic. Seeing as she'd been struggling with white magic anyway and red magic requires a fair balance of the two it will likely work out of her.]]
* GirlInABox:[[spoiler: The Adventurer finds her trapped in a crate]].
* GrewASpine: Overcomes her fears to help the Adventurer and X'rhun. [[spoiler: And again when she resists Lilith's attempts to steal her body at the end of the level 70 quest.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Arya's memory is largely clouded upon meeting her. X'rhun deduces that the cabal that kidnapped her had exposed her to an incense known to addle the mind in preparation for making her one of their puppets.
* TookALevelInBadass :She starts off as a Black Mage that can't even cast a spell and resorts to bonking enemies with her staff instead. Because she's not used to battle, she stays behind X'rhun and the Warrior of Light to rely on their power instead. [[spoiler: She eventually conjures a Fire spell with great force, saving X'rhun and the Warrior of Light from Lambard. Instead of being left behind, she chooses to become a Red Mage. She also volunteers to serve as a decoy to protect a Cabal target.]]
* ThePowerOfFriendship: [[spoiler: In the level 70 quest after Lilith is defeated, Lilith's essence within Ayra's mind is still present and is enticing her to give in to her fate at being Lilith's slave. Right when she's about to surrender herself, she remembers the Warrior of Light and X'rhun and vows to keep living in order to make new memories with them. She then banishes Lilith in a blinding light and wakes up.]]
* SheCleansUpNicely: Arya was already a beautiful young woman when she first met the Warrior of Light but during the level 60 red mage quest [[spoiler: she sheds her trainee Red Mage gear in favor of buying herself some slicker threads appropriate to the job.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Arya is afraid of ghosts and other supernatural things. She's quaking in her sandals the entire time she's on the Isle of Umbra.

'''Discipline: '''Red Mage]
Leader of the Cabal hired to assassinate anyone assisting the Ala Mhigan Resistance.
----
* AssassinationAttempt: [[spoiler: He was planning to kill Jessie from the Garlond Ironworks since he knew that her company was rebelling against TheEmpire and was aiding the Ala Mhigan resistance. If Jessie was killed, her ideas to create technology to resist the empire would die with her as well as the rebellion.]]
* BigBad: As leader of the Cabal, he serves as the BigBad of the level 50-60 Red Mage questline.
* EmptyShell: Those in the cabal whom Lambard has branded with his magic become mindless puppets that only exist as an extension of his will.
* EvilFormerFriend:[[spoiler: Was formerly a Crimson Duelist and one of X'ruhn's allies.]]
* EvilTastesGood: Upon meeting the Warrior of Light, Lambard describes them as "delectible" [[spoiler:and would delight in consuming them]].
* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler: Takes a few cues from Alucard from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSympthonyOfTheNight''. Not only he is pretty much a vampire, but his Soulsteal attack is a direct nod to Alucard's Soulsteal; both absorb HP from their victims.]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare:[[spoiler: Use to be a Crimson Duelist but betrayed his comrades and became basically an aether/life draining vampire-esque... being]].
* NotUsingTheZWord: [[spoiler:Lambard’s powers and his explanations thereof make it perfectly clear that he’s some kind of vampire, but neither he nor anyone else actually identifies him as such.]]
* OurVampiresAreDifferent:[[spoiler: He only needs to 'leave a scratch' in order to drain people of their physical energy. He also creates minions out of people he's forced amnesia upon and drained the life out of.]]
* PlayingWithFire: He makes use of various fire spells while fighting the player. Dark Fire III creates a series of fiery explosions that track the player, and Bleeding Flame summons a cluster of Voidfire spheres that explode after a significant delay, engulfing the entire battlefield.
* PowerDyesYourHair: [[spoiler:When he starts using the full breadth of his wicked powers, his hair changes from blonde to striking crimson.]]
* ProfessionalKiller: He and his Cabal are professional assassins hired by the Empire to disrupt the Eorzean Alliance’s activities by assassinating key individuals. [[spoiler:The level 58 and level 60 quests involve thwarting his attempt to assassinate Jessie.]]

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: The level 60-70 quests make it clear that Lambard was just a pawn in Lilith's much bigger game and was blissfully ignorant of that fact.]]
* VampiricDraining: [[spoiler:If he so much as nicks you with his rapier, he can violently drain the aether from your body. This actually becomes a gameplay mechanic: if the player is not at full health when Lambard finishes casting Soulsteal, the player will take a fair amount of damage and Lambard will regain hit points equal to the damage inflicted.]]

!!!Blue Mage
[[folder:Martyn]]
[floatboxright: '''Race:''' Midlander Hyur\\
'''Discipline: ''' Arcanist, Blue Mage]
An odd man returning from the New World who shows up in La Noscea one day, peddling the soul crystals for a type of casting he calls "Blue Magic". He comes under scrutiny of Limsa Lominsa's Yellowjackets when several irate customers of his turn up to report him for selling them worthless rocks.
----
* AllPowerfulBystander: He's practically a master of Blue Magic and is willing to demonstrate how they work, but when it comes to actually teaching people how and where to acquire said Blue Magic, he rather let people figure it out on their own. The "training" sessions that he sends the Warrior of Light on are nothing more than having them use their newly acquired spell on someone.
* AllThereInTheManual: In-universe. Martyn wrote a book detailing the Blue Magic that can be learned from various locales, though it's a bit lacking: His book doesn't explain what the spells ''are'', doesn't list the creatures that possess said magic, and despite giving locations, the book only gives one per spell, even if multiple locations exist (such as Plaincracker being labeled with Copperbell Mines (Hard), even though enemies in several low-level areas of the world can also use it)
* BlatantLies: After some loansharks force Martyn to give everything he has including all of his clothes save his underwear to them, he tells the Warrior of Light at least he still has his dignity. This is followed by an extended shot of him walking back to Ul'Dah still in nothing but his underwear.
* EngineeredHeroics: His assistants are a pair of Mamool Ja who pretend to menace the crowds he pitches to, so he can demonstrate Blue Magic to them.
* HonestJohnsDealership: Gaudy outfit? Check. Selling something to the masses that has dubious uses and at a high price? Check. Due to the Yellowjackets receiving complaints from citizens about being ripped off and Martyn not bothering to explain the risks of learning Blue Magic, the Warrior of Light is tasked with trying out the new job themselves to make sure that it actually works. In the end, Martyn is banned from selling his soul crystals in La Noscea. The soulstones he is selling ''do'' work, but Martyn did not really bother to properly explain how they actually work to his customers.
* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler: He feels partially responsible for introducing a sickness to the New World that is slowly killing the population. Overall, said sickness came from Eorzeans that traveled to the New World and while it's no more harmful than a common cold to Eorzeans, it's completely deadly to the people of the New World since they never had it.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Everything he does, he does for money. He refuses to perform Blue Magic to entertain a crowd until it's noted that he'll be paid for doing so. Likewise, he refuses to mentor the Warrior of Light on Blue Magic until money becomes involved. And even once he ''does'' start mentoring, he uses their training to make a quick buck. [[spoiler: Around the level 30 job quest, it's revealed that he's been hung up on money due to needing expensive medicine to help the sick in the New World.]]
* StageNames: He's given the stage name "The Great Azuro" because "The Great Martyn" doesn't sound nearly as interesting.

* ButtMonkey: Any time a character needs to show off a Blue Magic spell, these two usually end up being the training dummies. When the Warrior of Light trains for the Carnivale, they accidentally miss their intended target with Glower and ends up hitting one of them by accident.
* LoopholeAbuse: Royse is able to get them into Ul'dah despite the city's ban on beastmen, because the law in question doesn't say anything about Mamool Ja specifically.
* MythologyGag: Their association with Blue Magic is likely a reference to how Mamool Ja were the only beastmen capable of using it in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI''.

Martyn’s old research partner from the Arcanist guild who studied blue magic in the new world with him. Convinced that there was little practical application for the studies he quickly abandoned the practice to make a fortune.
* BrilliantButLazy: In regards to Blue Magic. He’s an even greater Blue Mage than Martyn, but never really practiced the art since he views it as outdated and little more than a cute diversion. Despite this, he proves to be a very formidable boss in the Masked Carnival.
* CapitalismIsBad: [[spoiler:He agrees to fund Martyn’s cure for the new world so that he could exploit the dying natives to gain access to the massive ceruleum reserves under their sacred grounds.]]
* GracefulLoser: Despite his behavior beforehand, upon losing his challenge in the Masked Carnivale, he will gracefully honor the terms and congratulate the Warrior of Light on their talents.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:His defeat in the Grand Carnivale helps him remember that he is a businessman and not a monster, agreeing to honor his agreement and find more humane ways to earn his profits.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:Ostensibly, Whastrach wants to help the Eorzean Alliance in developing and fueling better weapons technology to resist the Garlean invasion with (and turn a tidy profit for himself in the process, of course). The bad part is, he's copying the Garleans' MO almost line-by-line: forcibly seizing the Whalaqee peoples' land and resources, denouncing their religion and traditions as "primitive superstition", and even planning to "[[MadeASlave recruit]]" them for his ventures, with the justification that he's "improving their society".]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: When you first meet him, he seems like a stuck up man who only cares about the profits he can make. When he finds out that Martyn has injured himself from overwork in the Grand Carnivale trying to make money to help the Whalaqee people, he says Martyn should have come to him since he also studied under the Whalaqee. He makes a deal with Martyn to use his funds to help make medicine for the Whalaqee, which surprises but cheers up Martyn. [[spoiler:And then Whastrach uses said medicine to try to blackmail the Whalaqee for the resources in their land. You do eventually knock some sense into Whastrach causing him to realize that he had been acting like a monster.]]
* MythologyGag: His stage name and flamboyant costume for the Masked Carnivale [[spoiler: reference a boss from Final Fantasy V, Azulmagia, a demonic wizard with access to most of the game’s Blue Magic spells.]]
* OlderIsBetter: Averted. Whastrach Is a very staunch believer that the old ways are nothing more than distractions and superstitious which get in the way of progress.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: His worldviews seems to revolve around getting ahead and making a profit. When the studies of Blue Magic appeared to be a dead end, he immediately abandoned it. [[spoiler: His reasons for helping Martyn to treat the dying people of the New World was primarily to hold the cure hostage in exchange for ceruleum.]]
* StageName: After he agrees to take part in the Masked Carnivale, [[spoiler: The Evil Warlock, Azulmagia. He’s less than thrilled with being billed as the villain but has fun with it nonetheless.]]

A talking book created by the ancient Allagans to act as both a teacher and an instruction manual for future generations of summoners. Having been awakened by the increasing frequency of primal summonings, Prin is eager to impart its knowledge unto a worthy student.
----
* AnimateInanimateObject: It’s a hopping, talking book. With [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily sharp teeth]] coming out of its pages.
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:After successfully imparting its knowledge to the Warrior of Light, Prin returns to its slumber to wait for a new age in which its knowledge might be needed.]]
* {{Familiar}}: Principia was imbued with its intelligence by the Allagan master summoner Sari, and acted as his familiar.
* InSeriesNickname: Prin. This is a rare instance where the character themselves suggests the nickname: Principia recognizes that its name is a bit of a mouthful, and offers Y'mhitra a choice between Prin and Pria. She chooses the former.
* MeaningfulName: Principia is the plural form of the Latin word principium, which means “foundation”—quite appropriate for a textbook on summoning techniques.
* RuleOfThree: It subjects potential students to three trials, and will only share its knowledge of Allagan summoning techniques if the student passes all of them.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: [[spoiler:Prin’s third test is meant to assess how prospective summoners will act in a life-or-death situation, and determine whether they’re the type of person who would use a summoner’s power responsibly or abuse it for personal gain.]]
* SpellBook: A sentient magical book containing a wealth of information on ancient Allagan summoning techniques.

[[folder:Master Sari]]
[floatboxright:
'''Race:''' Midlander Hyur\\
'''Discipline:''' Summoner]
A master Summoner from ancient Allag. He created Principia to ensure that the knowledge of summoning techniques could be passed down to future generations.
Despite having lived thousands of years ago, he—or someone who looks like him—suddenly appears during the player’s third test…
----
* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler:The Summoning Node is no longer operating as intended. Instead of seeking out potential Summoners to train, it now lures them to their deaths.]]
* TheArchmage: Master Sari was recognized as the greatest Summoner of his time.
* TheAssimilator: [[spoiler:The Summoning Node can sense that the Warrior of Light has more “potential” than Master Sari did, so it plans to kill them and create an Egi in their likeness to replace the Sari-Egi.]]
* BigBad: Of the Summoner storyline for levels 61-70.
* CynicismCatalyst: He was originally an idealistic man, but the deaths of his students at the hands of the people they were trying to protect left him bitter and cynical. [[spoiler:This led him to create the Summoning Node late in his life, and then kill himself to ensure its activation.]] Dancing Wolf puts it best:
--> '''Dancing Wolf:''' Prin here is the embodiment of the hopeful ideals of Sari’s younger self. [[spoiler:The murderous machine]] of his latter years is the product of frustration and anger and grief.
* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: His reason for creating Prin. Since Summoners were being persecuted in his lifetime and new Summoners can only be trained during rare periods of increased Primal activity, Sari compiled his knowledge into an instruction manual so that it would not be lost to future practitioners. [[spoiler:Later in his life, he created the Summoning Node for the same purpose.]]
* FlunkyBoss: [[spoiler:The Summoning Node is almost completely defenseless, and relies on the Egis and monsters that it summons for protection. It also can’t be harmed until all of its flunkies have been destroyed.]]
* {{Foil}}: [[spoiler:The Summoning Node is this to Principia. Both are intelligent magical constructs. Both were created by the real Master Sari to pass his knowledge on to future generations, one using purely magical methods, the other using technological ones. Prin represents Master Sari’s idealism and wants to ensure that its knowledge is used for the greater good, while the Summoning Node represents his later cynicism and only seeks out students to further its own ends.]]
* LightIsNotGood: He has white hair, dresses in all-white Channeler gear, and does not have good intentions for the Warrior of Light.
* MagicFromTechnology: Late in his life, Master Sari began experimenting with computers as a new summoning medium in place of traditional grimoires. [[spoiler:The Summoning Node, an artificially-intelligent robot with the ability to summon Egis by performing complex mathematical computations, is the ultimate fruit of his research.]]
* MesACrowd: [[spoiler:The Summoning Node conjures multiple copies of its Sari avatar during its boss fight.]]
* MythologyGag: His name is a reference to Madain-Sari, the village of Summoners from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX''.
* PosthumousCharacter: The real Sari has been dead for millennia. Dancing Wolf’s Summoner squad speculate that the Sari encountered by the Warrior of Light might be a clone of the original. [[spoiler:It’s much more complicated than that.]]
* PsychoticSmirk: He ''never'' drops that smirk off his face, even in battle.
* RoboticReveal: [[spoiler:“Sari” is actually the Summoning Node, an “evocation matrix” with an artificial intelligence based on the real Sari’s personality. The Sari you’ve been chasing around is an Egi avatar created in the real Sari’s likeness.]]
* SerialEscalation: Tristan could summon the powerful Belias-Egi, and the Ascian of the Twelfth Chalice could summon all three of the regular Egis at once. How does Master Sari top them both? [[spoiler:By summoning ''dozens'' of '''Sephirot-Egis''' at once during Prin's third test.]]
* SinisterGeometry: [[spoiler:The Summoning Node’s true form is a sphere.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Beating up the Summoning Node causes it to summon more Sari-egis and stronger monsters in a desperate attempt to kill you and its speech becomes more distorted and focused on wanting the Warrior of Light dead. When it's nearly destroyed, it summons Sari-egis non stop, but they are incomplete and can only attack you with their books.]]

[floatboxright:
'''Race''': Padjal\\
'''Discipline''': White Mage]
->''"Some burdens are too heavy to bear even for those so favored to abide."''
A calm and intelligent Padjal who leads the Conjurers' Guild.
-----
* AChildShallLeadThem: Or at least someone who appears to be a child.
* TheAtoner: Of a sort. [[spoiler:He is harsh with Sylphie and opposes her style of healing because Sylphie's mother used the same techniques, and said techiniques cost her her life. E-Sumi feels ''intensely'' guilty over not intervening in the case of Sylphie's mother sooner (and thus feels responsible for Sylphie being an orphan) and is absolutely determined to make sure history does not repeat itself.]]
* GreyEyes: Of the wise and mysterious variant.
* MagicStaff: His conjury radical.
* OlderThanTheyLook: As one of the Padjal, naturally he's much older than the boy he appears to be. As the ''[[AllThereInTheManual Encyclopedia Eorzea]]'' tells us, he is in fact over ''two hundred years old''.
* PutOnABus: Was originally introduced as the top ranking Seedseer back in ''Legacy''. However, with the end of the original story line and the introduction of the Seventh Umbral Era, he essentially became a background character, and nearly vanishes once Kan-E-Senna is introduced.
** TheBusCameBack:
*** Becomes guildmaster of the Conjurers' Guild in ''A Realm Reborn''.
*** Also returns in the "Kindred Spirits" Dark Knight quest. [[spoiler:He is the one who figures out that Rielle has dragon's blood within her, making her spiritual presence far older than her body.]]
*** Comes back for the second half of the White Mage quests in ''Stormblood'' to keep an eye on Sylphie, who is assisting the Warrior of Light in looking out for a child in the East End.
* LimitBreak: [[spoiler: The final White Mage quest in ''Stormblood'' has him cast Pulse of Life, the same level 3 limit break that a healer player can use, to revive Sylphie while also fully recovering Gatty the player's HP.]]
* MistakenAge: Sidurgu mistakes E-Sumi-Yan for a boy, but the Conjurer corrects the "young man" that he is several times his age.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Generally, although Sylphie has a tendency to push his buttons. [[spoiler: Her mere attempt at ''being'' a Conjurer pushes his "guilt" button, for one. In ''Stormblood'', he is willing to let Gatty stay with her mother as long as she learns to control her magic, even though Gatty is a Padjal who belongs in Gridania.]]
* TheStoic: He is almost always unflappable, which comes with the territory of [[SeenItAll being a couple hundred years old]]. The only thing that manages to budge him is Sylphie's behavior [[spoiler:and, specifically, his worry that her unrestrained healing will kill her, much as it did her mother, whom E-Sumi still feels guilty over.]]
* {{Transhuman}}: Like the Senna siblings, he is a [[HornedHumanoid Padjal]]. He also happens to be the eldest Padjali, not to mention the oldest living person in Gridania, by ''far'', being at least ''two hundred forty'' years old.
* WhiteAndGreyMorality: He certainly wants to help people, but his dedication to the Elementals of the Twelvewood's also means occasionally his hands are tied, and he can't provide much help should someone commit an action that brings about "Greenwrath" upon them.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: In the level 70 White Mage quest, he gives one to [[spoiler: Gatty]] to rouse them out of their despair when they believed that they [[spoiler: killed their mother (it was never her fault) and getting Sylphie killed in the battle against a voidsent]]. They bounce back after hearing his words of encouragement.
-->'''E-Sumi-Yan''': The candle of life burns down for us all. You cannot blame yourself...[[spoiler: Gatty!]] Remember what your mother wanted for you!\\
'''[[spoiler:Gatty]]''': What Mama wanted...?\\

A young Hyur girl who has a talent for healing, yet refuses to practice the concepts of conjuring the elements.
-----
* AnAesop: Serves to remind novice players that their duties as Conjurer/White Mage extend beyond simply healing; throwing out damaging abilities and dodging can be just as important as Cure and Raise.
* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:After losing her healing abilities after trying to cast Raise.]]
* CastFromHitPoints: The inadvertent source of her healing abilities, due to her refusal to embrace nature.
* CoolBigSis: Has this sort of relationship with Gatty, who looks up to her for teaching her how to control her powers.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Raise is treated as this to her, to the point where E-Sumi-Yan threatens to expel her from the guild if she tries to use it. [[spoiler:This is because she's using her ''own'' life force to cast it, and doing it too much will kill her the way it killed her mother.]]
* GenerationXerox: A subversion. Just like her mother, Sylphie refuses to learn how to conjure the elements of nature. After she tries to cast ''Raise'' and [[spoiler:her healing power runs dry as a result]], she reluctantly learns how to conjure like she's supposed to, and finds it ''wonderful'', which leads to her questioning why her mother refused it. [[spoiler:She finds her mother's old journal which explains that she refused to conjure nature because she could hear the angry voices of nature and believed that tapping into it made the Earth angry. Sylphie then refuses to conjure at all, and tries to protest against the use of it, until she witnesses conjurors and elementals fighting side by side to quell a threat, and learns that humans can work in harmony with nature to the benefit of both.]]
* HearingVoices: [[spoiler:At the end of the Conjurer questline, she's revealed to be able to hear the voices of the Elementals and is now receiving training to become a Hearer]].
* HeroicBSOD[=/=][[HeroicRROD RROD]]: [[spoiler:After trying to cast Raise, she loses her ability to heal and is severely weakened, even wondering if she is now going to die.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She is less than kind to her fellow guildmates, constantly blow off lessons, and isn't that respectful towards even E-Sumi-Yan. But she truly wishes to help people with her healing abilities, and her behaviour mostly comes from feeling like the guild is just keeping her from doing just that.
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:Due to shunning the lessons of conjury in favor of solely focusing on healing.]]
* TheBusCameBack: Is entirely absent from ''Heavensward'' but makes a return in ''Stormblood'' to assist the Warrior of Light.
* TookALevelInBadass: Her return in ''Stormblood'' has her using white magic skillfully between healing and offensive spells compared to her first appearance in ''A Realm Reborn'' where she only healed and didn't use attack magic until she confronted her fears. She can heal the player's HP in huge amounts. [[spoiler: When E-Sumi-Yan revives her with Pulse of Life, it's revealed that she has far more HP than E-Sumi himself!]]

Two Padjal siblings who help the player become a White Mage. They are two Seedseers from Gridania, and the younger siblings of Kan-E-Senna. Raya-O is older than her brother A-Ruhn, and the one who gives out the actual quests.
-----
* BlindingBangs: A-Ruhn-Senna's red hair completely hides his eyes.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: A-Ruhn as the foolish and Raya-O as the responsible. Kan-E is more responsible than them both, however, because even Raya-O tends to bicker sometimes.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Comes with being White Mages. They're also close with the Moogles of the Twelveswood.
* {{Jerkass}}: A-Ruhn, at first, to the player. He warms up later.
* MagicStaff: As a focus for their magic.
* NatureHero: They're Seedseers who can divine the will of the elementals, like their sister.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Not as extreme as some fellow Padjal, but Raya-O just hit twenty-one as ''ARR'' starts, and A-Ruhn is 18. They're both, needless to say, a bit short compared to normal Hyur of their age.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler: Raya-O is this towards Alaqa after her plans are thwarted. Raya-O reminds Alaqa that she must pay for her crimes against the Twelveswood, but she can become a better person and will be given the support she needs. Speaking to Raya-O after the scene has her revealing that Alaqa is slowly opening up to her.]]
* SiblingTeam: They're both powerful White Mages and often aid the player in battle and purifying the Twelveswood.
* WhiteMage: Both of them, like their elder sister.
* WalkingTheEarth: [[spoiler: A-Ruhn at the end of the level 60 White Mage quest realizes that he cannot help the forest by just staying there and he must wander the world like A-Towa had done if he truly wishes to help everyone. Raya-O stays in the Twelveswood to continue her duties.]]

In doing so, he/she stumbles across a White Mage [[UpgradeArtifact Soul Crystal]]. Raya-O decides this makes you the heir to A-Towa-Cant's legacy, though A-Ruhn disagrees.
A-Towa-Cant, in life, traveled Eorzea aiding those who needed it. He eventually met his end at the hands of Kobolds after entering their territory.
-----
* TheCavalry: [[spoiler: Just when things are bleak and the PlayerCharacter and the Sennas are about to be overwhelmed by wildlife affected by the anger of the forest itself as they attempt to perform a necessary ritual to calm the Twelveshroud's Elementals, he comes back from the afterlife to provide some much needed support.]]
* NamedWeapon: Thyrus, his Conjury implement. Conjury tools apparently need to be made of wood, but Thyrus is unique in that it's made of ''petrified'' wood.
* OlderThanTheyLook: An example up there with E-Sumi; even before his death, the man was pushing ''two hundred'', and still looked pretty youthful, although his hair had gone silvery (which may be a mark of an older padjal).
* PosthumousCharacter: Is only known by what you learn of his life while learning the ways of the White Mage. [[spoiler:His spirit appears during the calming ritual to aid you in fending off the enraged wildlife, after which [[ButNowIMustGo he apparently departs for the afterlife]]]].
* WalkingTheEarth: Likely the first among all Padjal, A-Towa did not stay in the Shroud, but traveled the land offering help wherever he could. The ''Heavensward'' continuation explains part of that mission was fighting back the Taint.

By the time of the present day, the man had passed on, but Eschiva took up his task of tending A-Towa-Cant's grave. When the taint spreads again, she goes with the Warrior of Light to find the source.
-----
* BladeOnAStick: She's a Lancer, it comes with the territory.
* BrutalHonesty: She doesn't hold back in telling the Seedseers that people don't look up to them as much because of their hesitation to leave the Twelveswood, as the padjal are the ones who should be protecting the people of Twelveswood but they've been relying on the Warrior of Light and her.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Once the matter of the corruption is resolved, Eschiva announces she will be escorting A-Ruhn-Senna on a pilgrimage across the realm, like her grandfather once did for A-Towa-Cant.
* WhatTheHellHero: She calls out the Seedseers on their insistence of remaining in the Twelveswood when they are needed elsewhere. These words cause Raya-O-Senna and A-Ruhn-Senna to reconsider their stances and agree to leave the forest to help out. [[spoiler: This also causes A-Ruhn to follow in A-Towa's footsteps by wandering around Eorzea to help people in need and purge whatever corruption that threatens the Twelveswood.

She's also [[{{Foil}} the opposite]] of Raya-O-Senna and A-Ruhn-Senna; while the siblings' duty is to purify all sources of corruption so the forest isn't in any pain, Alaqa tries to spread the corruption to cause pain and suffering to everyone. [[spoiler: She does all this because she and her people were persecuted relentlessly, leaving her all alone.]]
* {{Dracolich}}: [[spoiler:the "spoils" of her research, a powerful undead dragon under her thrall.]]

* HornedHumanoid: An Au Ra with black curved horns.
* NonActionBigBad: When you encounter her for the final time, she sics a zombie dragon and skeletons on you and she doesn't do any actual fighting herself.
* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler: She spreads the taint to get revenge on the people who made her life and the life of her clan miserable.]]
* TheAtoner: After being defeated, she is put into jail for her crimes. She slowly starts to come around and begins to atone for her actions thanks to Raya-O-Senna visiting her and talking to her so that she doesn't feel alone.

When a voidsent kills Sylphie during the fight, Gatty blames herself for that as well, which causes her to let out a scream that inflicts massive damage to the player and E-Sumi-Yan while pushing them back several yalms.]]
* DishingOutDirt: [[spoiler: Once she gets over her despair in the final quest, she begins to fight back against the voidsent with her Stone spell.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: In the ''[[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/tales_from_the_storm/sidestory_01/#sidestory_01 Tales from the Storm]], Gatty makes a minor appearance way before she's properly introduced in the White Mage quests in the game. She is found by M'naago, who takes her back to her mother.
* TheHermit: Lives alone in a forest with her mother and avoids people. Her interactions with Sylphie has her open up a bit.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: She's already a nervous wreck over her mother's health, but she's pushed over the edge when a voidsent taunts her by blaming her for her mother's death. This causes her to scream out in anguish, which has her aether spiking through the roof and thus making her a tasty meal for the voidsent that taunted her. Gatty is completely unresponsive (she only screams again when the voidsent kills Sylphie during the battle since she blames herself for her death as well) while the player fights the voidsent off. It takes some encouragement from E-Sumi-Yan to drag her out of her despair and giving her the courage to fight.]]
* HornedHumanoid: [[spoiler: She's a Padjal, which isn't revealed until she loses her hat.]]
* HealingHands: [[spoiler: In the final quest, she'll start casting powerful Cure spells on you if needed.]]
* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler: A powerful voidsent taunts her over her mother's death and says it's her fault because she dragged her sick mother around everywhere they went. When Sylphie is defeated by the voidsent in battle, Gatty goes into an even deeper despair as she blames herself for letting Sylphie get killed (E-Sumi-Yan manages to revive her thankfully). It takes Sylphie, E-Sumi-Yan, and the Warrior of Light to convince her that she is not at fault for what happened to her mother.]]
* MagicIsAMonsterMagnet: Her aether, and by extension, her magic, attracts powerful voidsent because her powerful emotions (fear, sadness, etc) magnifies her powers and that makes her a huge magnet to the voidsent seeking to feast on her aether.
* NiceHat: She wears a very large beret type hat. [[spoiler: This is to cover her horns and hide the fact that she's a Padjal.]]

The final White Mage quest has her succumbing to her illness and it's implied that the voidsent was the one who inflicted the illness in order to feed on Sanche's aether after her death and get Gatty to lose control of herself so that her aether can be eaten as well.]]

** As told in one of the Tales from the Calamity, despite their generally cowardly nature the 5 Lolobuki brothers were the only thaumaturges that answered Nanamo's call to help stop rioting in Ul'Dah immediately after the Calamity.

Of all the members of the guild, only Cocobuki and his brothers stepped up to help. Using their magic, they were able to grab the attention of all the rioters so Nanamo could speak to all of them.

'''Discipline''': Black Mage]
An infamous Lalafell Black Mage who had been imprisoned for over 100 years for a terrible crime he committed. Managed to escape with extreme ease, and claimed that the Gates to the Void were about to break open and unleash darkness upon the realm. He, and his assistant Lalai, recruit the Player Character skilled in the ways of the Thaumaturge to assist them in preventing this from happening by teaching them to control the power of the void.
----
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: Killed three of his friends and fellow studiers of Black Magic in a moment of greed for more power for himself. Immediately regretted it once he saw the results of it. He willingly let himself be held in Ul'dah's most notorious prison for 100 years, even though he could easily escape at a moment's notice, only using his power to recruit the descendants of his friends, an apprentice, and another Thaumaturge (the player) to correct his wrong doings when the time was right.]]
* DeathGlare: Pulls an extremely effective one on a member of the Thaumaturges' Guild for constantly interrupting his dire warnings about oncoming doom and trying to stop him. They effectively stand still and shut up for the rest of the conversation.
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler: His final goal, after recruiting a group capable of banishing the demon created by the sacrifice of his three friends from his own actions.]]
* DemonicPossession: Does this to Lalai.
* GameFace: When exercising his power, Ququruka's face will be covered with shadow and his visible eye glows yellow, giving him the classic Black Mage face.
* MouthOfSauron: He is said to commune with Nald'thal, the god of Death and Commerce, who is also the Thaumaturges' patron deity. He chooses the Player Character to become a Black Mage because Nald'thal predicted it. [[spoiler:His actual reasons for doing what he does are a bit more personal.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: It's revealed in the level 50 Black Mage quest, that 100 years ago, he, and the ancestors of the three beastmen who help you, were first studying the arts of the Black Mage, seeking to learn what power it had. Unfortunately, while performing a rite to help them gain the power, in a moment of selfish desire for even greater power, he changed one of the invocation lines to another. He got power, but his three friends were sacrificed and turned into a giant demon. He used his new found power to seal the demon into a statue, and concocted a different story of his crime, when turning himself in, willingly letting himself be imprisoned.]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: How he goes out in the end, apologizing to everyone for his deceptions and using them to help him fix his mistake, willingly letting himself fade into aether.]]
* [[TakeUpMySword Take Up My Coat]]: [[spoiler: Requests the player take his Wizard's Coat artifact armor, for helping him atone for his sins, and becoming a Black Mage not corrupted by their thirst for power]]
* ZeroApprovalGambit: [[spoiler: Used false documents and used magic to implant false thoughts into the Thaumaturgist guild for a different crime that he hadn't commit, to cover up the crime he did commit. Used this strategy again at the end of the Black Mage quests to convince the Player, his apprentice, and the decedents of his friends that he was really just using them to gather more power, so that they would have no qualms fighting him, and the demon created by his actions.]]

A Hearer from the Conjurers Guild in Gridania. The Seedseer Council has sent him to find a man who is wielding black magic, the forbidden art of destruction, and bring him to justice for using it. He is very much concerned about the situation being worse than first thought when he realizes there are two black mages. The player, who is wielding the powers of forbidden magic and the man he's seeking to bring to justice, for wildly attacking others with the magic without provocation.
----
* BrainySpecs: A Conjurer and always wearing glasses.
* BullyingADragon: Throughout the first half of the questline, he has no qualms against being a bigoted JerkAss to you even though you know the highly destructive and forbidden art of Black Magic, which, theoretically, could make you one of the most powerful mortals in all of Eorzea lore-wise. And let's not even get into the Player Character's backstory from the 2.0-2.5 Main Scenario storylines...
* {{Hypocrite}}: He's quick to condemn the Player and Lalai for their knowledge of Black Magic, using the War of the Magi as an example of the destruction it can cause, though Lalai notes immediately after he leaves that the war didn't get catastrophic enough to cause an Umbral era until White Magic became involved too, something Zhai'a doesn't seem to acknowledge.

[[folder:Shatotto]]
[floatboxright:
'''Race''': Lalafell\\
'''Discipline''': Black Mage]
The mother of black magic. Shatotto was a thaumaturge from the nation of Mhach prior to the time of the War of the Magi. Among her legendary exploits include the creation of the Stardust Rod from a fragment of a comet that she blasted away from the planet with her magic, and the development of the Gem of Shatotto; the selfsame Soul Crystal the Warrior of Light now uses to safely command the power of black magic without destroying themself. Shatotto herself died long ago but, unknown to all, she hid a copy of her mind and memory away, waiting for a competent black mage to discover the secret and release her memory, allowing her to take someone as a vessel and command another as a weapon, to avert a coming catastrophe. She chooses Lalai and the Warrior of Light, respectively.
----
* BloodKnight: Shatotto relishes in the destructive power of black magic and her first and preferred answer to any problem is to destroy it utterly.
* BrainUploading: Of a magical variety. Shatotto placed a copy of her mind into an ancient bowl, which would one day be uncovered by our heroes. The copy of Shatotto's memory acknowledges that she isn't literally Shatotto herself, but is close enough that there is little practical difference.
* ColonyDrop: It was said that Shatotto called down a meteor to strike the planet ''just because she could'', using its fragments to forge the Stardust Rod. In actuality, Shatotto ''prevented'' a far worse impact by using her magic to blow a meteor off course so that only a few of its pieces struck Hydaelyn.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Shatotto hates the large hats mages have taken to wearing in the present day and is very vocal about it. She always takes off Lalai's hat when serving as the dominant personality.
* InsufferableGenius: She ''invented'' black magic as we know it and is every bit as arrogant and condescending as her namesake Shantotto.
* MythologyGag: She is one letter away from having the exact same name as [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Shantotto]], another diminutive-but-horrifically-powerful black mage, and the person who served as the inspiration for her character. There are a few notable differences, though. While Shatotto created the discipline of black magic, Shantotto is "merely" the most powerful practitioner alive. Also, Shatotto does not share Shantotto's penchant for rhyme.
--> "Oh dear, you really aren't very smart. Very well, I shall begin from the very - er, beginning. Dear me, did I almost rhyme? Who ''does'' that, anyway?"
* NamedWeapon: Fights with the Stardust Rod. Fitting since she invented it in the first place.
* RedBaron: According to Zhai'a, one of Shatotto's more charming titles was "Death's Handmaiden".
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: When Shatotto is in control of Lalai, Lalai's green eyes turn gold.

[floatboxright:
'''Race''': Midlander Hyur\\
'''Epithet''': Leveva Heavensreader, Lady Leveva\\
'''Discipline''': Astrologian]
An Astrologian sent from Sharlayan to teach their brand of astrology to the Isgardians, in her grandfather's stead.
----
* {{Astrologer}}: She's the teacher of Sharlayan's school of Astrology in Ishgard.
* {{Blackmail}}: [[spoiler:Does this twice, the first on Forlemont using his missive, evidence that he put out a hit on her and her entourage the Warrior of Light included, to get him to stop meddling in their affairs. The second time is on Sevestre, forcing him to [[FakingTheDead pretend that she was killed]] or else reveal his ties to her father's murder]].
* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: When Jannequinard reacts with shock to the first suggestion of blackmail, Lady Leveva states that they're merely letting [[spoiler:Forlemont keep his life]] in exchange for a little assistence in furthering their just and noble cause. No more, no less.
* DamselInDistress: She is captured more than once by the bandits you first encounter in the storyline.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:Takes on her father's name after having her death faked.]]
* DeathFakedForYou: [[spoiler: She blackmails Sevestre into lying that she has been killed so that Sharlayan will not go after her anymore.]]
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Unlike [[RobeAndWizardHat her grandfather]], she doesn't wear her robe's pointed hat.
* ImportantHaircut: [[spoiler:Gives herself one at the end of the quest line.]]
* InformationWantsToBeFree: Thinks fate demands the knowledge of astromancy be spread beyond Sharlayan's borders. [[spoiler:Her father had similar goals]].
* GenerationXerox: [[spoiler:Jannequinard mentions that she reminds him a lot like her father. And she has similar goals of teaching Sharlayan Astrology outside her homeland. Eventually she takes on his name.]]
* NonIndicativeName: Her name is rather Lalafellin, though she is a Midlander Hyur.
* PaperThinDisguise: [[spoiler:The members of Ishgard's Astrologians are quick to do some LampshadeHanging about Leveva's "disguise" after the Level 60 quest. Simply cutting one's hair and declaring herself "Lord Rufin" does not change the fact that she still has bright purple/pink hair, and that they know her well enough that they keep instinctively calling her Leveva. Not to mention her attire and voice still makes it obvious its her.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Leveva doesn't mince words with Jannequinard over his lack of progression in astrology over the twenty years since he had started.
* StarPower: As befits the job, she sends the Warrior of Light to gaze upon certain constellations, to open the gates and synchronize their aether with the constellations.
* TellMeAboutMyFather: Asks this of Janne when she learns he was her father's friend.
* WalkingTheEarth: [[spoiler:After faking her death, "Lord Rufin" travels through Ishgard and Dravania using astrology to heal the wounded and spread its good name]].

'''Discipline''': Astrologian]
Leveva's pupil, and the only Ishgardian student of Sharlayan astrology.
----
* BreakTheHaughty: Once Leveva arrives and the player character gets involved, he gets mercilessly taunted for being bad at Astrology and his slow growth despite the length of time he had to learn. This combined with the Warrior of Light appearing and suddenly blowing through in days what he's been stuck on for years forces him to re-examine his life.
* CharacterDevelopment: Starts off as a SmallNameBigEgo, gets destroyed for it, then realizes that while he can't help by being as good as Astrologian as the PC, there is one thing he's ''very'' good at, politics. [[spoiler: Thanks to this, he ultimately gets the Noble court to walk right into Leveva's hands and help Sharlayan Astrology spread despite them trying to pull a ReassignedToAntarctica on them, this, combined with his actual growth as an Astrologist, finally gets Leveva to acknowledge him as worthy of the mantle.]]
* NiceGuy: He does have a bit of an ego, but he only wants to make certain that the wonders of astrology spread to help others, like his OnlyFriend Rufin wanted. He's just blocked at every turn because he ultimately has no power to change things until the others get involved.
* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: Up until he meets the Warrior of Light, Jannequinard hadn't furthered his studies in Sharlayan astrology for twenty years, rather he would spend his days chasing women and being seen as a harmless nuisance by Ishgardian astrologers.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Initially, he seems to be under the impression that just knowing Sharlayan astrology makes him some great person, though when Leveva arrives she quickly demolishes him by pointing out that he had done nothing to advance Astrology's cause and, despite having decades, hadn't opened a single gate to advance his learning.
* TheUnfavorite: [[spoiler: Judging from Forlemort's comments as well as what Jannequinard himself says at the end of the 3rd Level 50 quest, his family doesn't hold him in high regard compared to his older brother.]]
* WellDoneSonGuy: The "Shalayan Ascending" quest reveals that [[spoiler: his initial reason for studying astromancy was to impress his father, [[TheUnfavorite who only cared about his older brother]]. Jannequinard stopped caring when he realized that he will never see him as anything but a loser.]]

'''Discipline''': Arcanist]
A mysterious bandit leader seeking to kidnap Leveva. [[spoiler:She is actually another Sharlayan who arrived to take Leveva back home to face trial for illegally spreading knowledge of astromancy]].
----
* DeusExMachina: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by her during the Level 40 quests, when not only does the info she have leave out the fact of a second Astrologian (The player) also being part of Leveva's party in Limsa Lominsa, but the fact that members of both the Rogues' and Marauders' Guilds [[note]]V'kebbe the Stray, though passing her self off as a fisher and Broenbhar Rocksplitter, respectively[[/note]] as well as Commodore Reyner of Limsa Lominsa's Navy and the Yellow Jackets all provide TheCavalry to rescue Leveva, Quimperain, and the Player Character.

* TheHeavy: Her attempts at kidnapping [[spoiler:and later murdering]] Leveva drive the plot of the questline. [[spoiler: Her employer is not even known until after she is killed]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When you first face her in the starting Astrologian quest, if you observe her you'll notice she's a very rare enemy [[BadassBookworm arcanist.]] [[spoiler: Arcanima is a very mentally demanding form of magic, hence why most NPC arcanists outside the Arcanist questline are originally from Sharlayan.]]
* MasterOfDisguise: She has impersonated a pirate captain and a Temple Knight, both times convincingly enough to enable her to kidnap Leveva. She also has other warriors masquerade as Knights, Serpent Reavers, and Leveva herself to aid her.
* TattooedCrook: Celie has some distinctive face tattoos. She even [[LampshadeHanging mocks you and the others]] for failing to recognize her with such an obvious tell.

[[spoiler:He is unwilling to see Astrology as anything more than a way to track the dragons' movements, and the only reason he even helped his nephew and Leveva hold an audience with the Vault is because he knows that the clergy will see Sharlayan's methods as too heretical. He also signed a missive with Celie to assassinate Leveva. He notes that there are other people willing to stop Leveva and can do so without him]].

The one who sent Celie to kidnap Leveva. An influential politician of Sharlayan who prefers to keep all their knowledge away from "barbarians" and willing to kill to keep it that way.
----
* CorruptPolitician: [[spoiler:Had Leveva's father killed for spreading Sharlayan knowledge, used that to keep it within boundaries and destroyed any evidence he could find tying him to the murder. Additionally, it's mentioned that the group he leads have blackmailed and schemed their way to the point where their members make up the greater part of the Sharyalan senate, effectively making him the leader of the entire society.]]
* FantasticRacism: He deems ''any'' non-Sharlayan as a savage to not be granted the time of day and treats them learning of Sharlayan knowledge as a crime against nature, [[spoiler: That's why he had Leveva's father killed, and attempts to do the same to her once she becomes an issue.]]
* TheFundamentalist: [[spoiler:Leveva described him as a "conservative fundamentalist" and he deems those outside Sharlayan unworthy of such sacred knowledge.]].
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:For the questline, only seen in the last few missions after his employee Celie is killed]].
* IHaveYourWife: [[spoiler:Since Sharlayan was able to capture Leveva's grandfather, his life currently rests in Sevestre's hands. He uses this leverage to force Leveva to surrender to him]].

* ChickMagnet: Upon arriving at the Astrologicum, Kyokuho quickly steals the hearts of most of the women inside.
* FacialMarkings: Kyokuho wears red marks around his eyes.
* FamousAncestor: The great-grandson of Grandmaster Kazan, the geomancer who [[spoiler:created the barrier that protects Kugane and brings it prosperity]] and brought geomancy to the public eye.
* FatalFlaw: As pointed out by those around him, Kyokuho gets so worked up trying to work on a complicated solution to his problems that he fails to see the simple solution in front of him.
* InstantExpert: Compared to Jannequinard and the Warrior of Light, Kyokuho takes to astromancy remarkably quick and opens four of the six heavens in the time it takes the player to go from level 60 to 63, or one moon[=/=]month according to optional dialogue from Jannequinard.
* MagicWand: Kyokuho wears a one-handed wand on his hip to channel his geomancy which, in gameplay, functions like conjury.

* BigBrotherWorship: A more toned down version of the trope than normal but Arya takes to the Warrior of Light very, ''very'' quickly, a likely result of her amnesia. When she meets [[FaceOfAThug X'rhun]] for the first time shortly after her first reaction is to run and hide her savior. After [[spoiler: she decides to become a Red Mage she wants nothing more than to catch up to the Warrior of Light.]] It's very clear that she looks up to them immensely.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: Banishing Lilith back to the Void during the level 70 quest purges Arya of her voidsent blood and the proficiency at black magic that came with it. She takes this very much in stride thinking it a chance to actually build up her own foundation in magic. Seeing as she'd been struggling with white magic anyway and red magic requires a fair balance of the two it will likely work out of her.]]

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Arya's memory is largely clouded upon meeting her. X'rhun deduces that the cabal that kidnapped her had exposed her to an incense known to addle the mind in preparation for making her one of their puppets.
* TookALevelInBadass :She starts off as a Black Mage that can't even cast a spell and resorts to bonking enemies with her staff instead.

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: The level 60-70 quests make it clear that Lambard was just a pawn in Lilith's much bigger game and was blissfully ignorant of that fact.]]
* VampiricDraining: [[spoiler:If he so much as nicks you with his rapier, he can violently drain the aether from your body. This actually becomes a gameplay mechanic: if the player is not at full health when Lambard finishes casting Soulsteal, the player will take a fair amount of damage and Lambard will regain hit points equal to the damage inflicted.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: On at least two occasions he has used children to lure and kill their influential parents. And then killed them both.

* UniversalPoison: Her attacks can inflict this, hence the game literally yelling "STOCK SOME [[MagicAntidote ANTIDOTES]]" at you.
* TheManBehindTheMan: The Voidsent Behind the Man: [[spoiler:Lambard's power came from the fact that he was descended from the mage who summoned Lilith and drank her blood.]]

!!!Blue Mage
[[folder:Martyn]]
[floatboxright: '''Race:''' Midlander Hyur\\
'''Discipline: ''' Arcanist, Blue Mage]
An odd man returning from the New World who shows up in La Noscea one day, peddling the soul crystals for a type of casting he calls "Blue Magic". He comes under scrutiny of Limsa Lominsa's Yellowjackets when several irate customers of his turn up to report him for selling them worthless rocks.
----
* AllPowerfulBystander: He's practically a master of Blue Magic and is willing to demonstrate how they work, but when it comes to actually teaching people how and where to acquire said Blue Magic, he rather let people figure it out on their own. The "training" sessions that he sends the Warrior of Light on are nothing more than having them use their newly acquired spell on someone.
* AllThereInTheManual: In-universe. Martyn wrote a book detailing the Blue Magic that can be learned from various locales, though it's a bit lacking: His book doesn't explain what the spells ''are'', doesn't list the creatures that possess said magic, and despite giving locations, the book only gives one per spell, even if multiple locations exist (such as Plaincracker being labeled with Copperbell Mines (Hard), even though enemies in several low-level areas of the world can also use it)
* BlatantLies: After some loansharks force Martyn to give everything he has including all of his clothes save his underwear to them, he tells the Warrior of Light at least he still has his dignity. This is followed by an extended shot of him walking back to Ul'Dah still in nothing but his underwear.
* EngineeredHeroics: His assistants are a pair of Mamool Ja who pretend to menace the crowds he pitches to, so he can demonstrate Blue Magic to them.
* HonestJohnsDealership: Gaudy outfit? Check. Selling something to the masses that has dubious uses and at a high price? Check. Due to the Yellowjackets receiving complaints from citizens about being ripped off and Martyn not bothering to explain the risks of learning Blue Magic, the Warrior of Light is tasked with trying out the new job themselves to make sure that it actually works. In the end, Martyn is banned from selling his soul crystals in La Noscea. The soulstones he is selling ''do'' work, but Martyn did not really bother to properly explain how they actually work to his customers.
* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler: He feels partially responsible for introducing a sickness to the New World that is slowly killing the population. Overall, said sickness came from Eorzeans that traveled to the New World and while it's no more harmful than a common cold to Eorzeans, it's completely deadly to the people of the New World since they never had it.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Everything he does, he does for money. He refuses to perform Blue Magic to entertain a crowd until it's noted that he'll be paid for doing so. Likewise, he refuses to mentor the Warrior of Light on Blue Magic until money becomes involved. And even once he ''does'' start mentoring, he uses their training to make a quick buck. [[spoiler: Around the level 30 job quest, it's revealed that he's been hung up on money due to needing expensive medicine to help the sick in the New World.]]
* StageNames: He's given the stage name "The Great Azuro" because "The Great Martyn" doesn't sound nearly as interesting.

Martyn's partners in crime.
----
* ButtMonkey: Any time a character needs to show off a Blue Magic spell, these two usually end up being the training dummies. When the Warrior of Light trains for the Carnivale, they accidentally miss their intended target with Glower and ends up hitting one of them by accident.
* LoopholeAbuse: Royse is able to get them into Ul'dah despite the city's ban on beastmen, because the law in question doesn't say anything about Mamool Ja specifically.
* MythologyGag: Their association with Blue Magic is likely a reference to how Mamool Ja were the only beastmen capable of using it in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI''.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Both of them speak like this.

[[folder:Whastrach]]
[floatboxright: '''Race:''' Sea Wolf Roegadyn\\
'''Discipline: ''' Arcanist, Blue Mage]
Martyn’s old research partner from the Arcanist guild who studied blue magic in the new world with him. Convinced that there was little practical application for the studies he quickly abandoned the practice to make a fortune.
* BrilliantButLazy: In regards to Blue Magic. He’s an even greater Blue Mage than Martyn, but never really practiced the art since he views it as outdated and little more than a cute diversion. Despite this, he proves to be a very formidable boss in the Masked Carnival.
* CapitalismIsBad: [[spoiler:He agrees to fund Martyn’s cure for the new world so that he could exploit the dying natives to gain access to the massive ceruleum reserves under their sacred grounds.]]
* GracefulLoser: Despite his behavior beforehand, upon losing his challenge in the Masked Carnivale, he will gracefully honor the terms and congratulate the Warrior of Light on their talents.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:His defeat in the Grand Carnivale helps him remember that he is a businessman and not a monster, agreeing to honor his agreement and find more humane ways to earn his profits.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:Ostensibly, Whastrach wants to help the Eorzean Alliance in developing and fueling better weapons technology to resist the Garlean invasion with (and turn a tidy profit for himself in the process, of course). The bad part is, he's copying the Garleans' MO almost line-by-line: forcibly seizing the Whalaqee peoples' land and resources, denouncing their religion and traditions as "primitive superstition", and even planning to "[[MadeASlave recruit]]" them for his ventures, with the justification that he's "improving their society".]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: When you first meet him, he seems like a stuck up man who only cares about the profits he can make. When he finds out that Martyn has injured himself from overwork in the Grand Carnivale trying to make money to help the Whalaqee people, he says Martyn should have come to him since he also studied under the Whalaqee. He makes a deal with Martyn to use his funds to help make medicine for the Whalaqee, which surprises but cheers up Martyn. [[spoiler:And then Whastrach uses said medicine to try to blackmail the Whalaqee for the resources in their land. You do eventually knock some sense into Whastrach causing him to realize that he had been acting like a monster.]]
* MythologyGag: His stage name and flamboyant costume for the Masked Carnivale [[spoiler: reference a boss from Final Fantasy V, Azulmagia, a demonic wizard with access to most of the game’s Blue Magic spells.]]
* OlderIsBetter: Averted. Whastrach Is a very staunch believer that the old ways are nothing more than distractions and superstitious which get in the way of progress.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: His worldviews seems to revolve around getting ahead and making a profit. When the studies of Blue Magic appeared to be a dead end, he immediately abandoned it. [[spoiler: His reasons for helping Martyn to treat the dying people of the New World was primarily to hold the cure hostage in exchange for ceruleum.]]
* StageName: After he agrees to take part in the Masked Carnivale, [[spoiler: The Evil Warlock, Azulmagia. He’s less than thrilled with being billed as the villain but has fun with it nonetheless.]]
* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler: He exploits the dying people of the New World after they gave him a home and aided in his studies of their magic and culture.]]
