History Characters / FinalFantasyXIVDisciplesOfMagic

* {{Expy}}: He's basically one of Franchise/TheThreeMusketeers in ''Final Fantasy'' form. A GentlemanAdventurer of the LovableRogue variety, in a storyline with very clear good guys and very clear bad guys, with a sword-wielding hero and a nefarious bad guy.

* BigBad: Of the Summoner quest line.

* BigBad: Of the ''Heavensward'' Summoner quests.

* AllPowerfulBystander: He's as master blue mage [[spoiler:and a master of several other schools of magic tool.]] While he is willing to demonstrate how blue magic works, he'd rather let people figure out the rest 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.

* AllPowerfulBystander: He's practically a master of Blue Magic[[spoiler:, and several other schools as well,]] 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.

A lesser Ascian who serves directly under Lahabrea and the overall villain of the Summoner storyline, being the one who taught Tristan how to summon the corrupted Egi.

* 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, he is able to call down meteors during his boss fight.
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: In the first battle with him, the Ascian first summons an Ifrit-Egi then a Titan-Egi, both reasonably tough. After they fail, he starts summoning all three Egis simultaneously, but they are each far weaker and die in a few hits.
* TheDragon: He is a direct subordinate of Lahabrea, loyal only to him.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Not the Twelfth Chalice himself, but his Staff and Sword underlings appear at the end of Haukke Manor, taking measure of the Warrior of Light's strength to report back to Lahabrea.
* EsotericMotifs: He is joined by Ascians of the Twelfth Staff, Sword and Pentacle when you battle him in the level 60 quest.
* GreaterScopeVillain: To Tristan for the ''A Realm Reborn'' Summoner storyline, and their presence at the end of Haukke Manor implies the group may have been this to Lady Amandine as well.. He steps up to bat as the active BigBad in ''Heavensward'''s.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:The Ascian of the Twelfth Chalice is slain at the end of the level 60 quest. Y'mhitra speculates that the black-masked lesser Ascians don't have the same mastery of body-snatching as their red-masked superiors and cannot possess living beings; whatever the reason, when you defeat him he's unable to abandon his body so he dies with it.]]
* {{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: He 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.

* {{Bishonen}}: As a male viera, Loifa is very pretty despite looking a little unwell.

* 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.

* StageNames: He's given the stage name "The Great Azuro" because "The Great Martyn" doesn't sound nearly as interesting.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite his tendencies as a clown, a showman, and a ButtMonkey in general, he is still a very capable fighter thanks to his mastery of Blue Magic. He is shown taking down Behemoths in the Carnivale and after their duel, Zirnberk comments that had he not upgraded his own armor beforehand, Martyn would have likely won the duel, much to his own shock as up to this point he viewed both Martyn and Blue Mages in general as nothing more than circus performers.

* AscendedExtra: Originally a historical character briefly mentioned in the Zodiac Relic side quests.

* 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]].

* 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.]]

* MaliciousSlander: 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.
* PlayingWithFire: He attacks the player with the Ifrit Egi, [[spoiler:and later the much stronger Belias Egi]].
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:As he dies at the end of the level 50 Summoner quest, he summons his Ifrit Egi for one final suicide attack.]]
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:He is being aided by [[ManipulativeBastard an Ascian]]. Think about that for a second.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:His motivation is to gain enough power to wipe out the primals.]]

* BattleInterruptingShout: [[spoiler: A-Ruhn does this in ''Endwalker'' when Jullus and the 1st Legion suicidally attack Livia and the Ilsabard Contingent, who seem to be preparing to oblige them. The shout is accompanied by a blast of [[BlowYouAway wind magic]] that forcibly separates the two, followed by him admonishing both sides as one would a child.]]

* BladeOnAStick: She's a Lancer, it comes with the territory.

* SuperheroSpeciation: Although the Senna siblings are all white mages, Raya-O surpasses her siblings at her ability to wield purging and cleansing white magic while having reduced ability to hear the elementals. A-Ruhn's ability to hear the elementals is the most sensitive of the three to the point of struggling to make conversation with people. Kan-E's abilities are ecliped by her younger siblings in their specialties, but she also has a keen gift of prophecy and has proficiency with white magic and the social skills and maturity to lead the Seedseer Council.

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: Cutscenes display him as being able to use the abilities of Primals somehow, including ones he could've never possibly fought such as Sophia. In a strange subversion of this trope, this doesn't prevent him from being a ButtMonkey despite his feats all occurring in cutscenes.

* HumanityEnsues: [[spoiler:It took one whole expansion for it to happen, but Surito Carito's research finally bears fruit when the experiemntal cure was attempted on her. The possibility of it going wrong was high, but she is successfully turned back to her lalafell self.]]

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Aside from the standard crimes associated with pirates (looting, attacking innocents, shipping of contraband and other forbidden items by the Lominsan Customs), he was also involved in an undergr1ound slave trade. This was considered so bad that Limsa Lominsa, a nation of pirates, exiled him.

* 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.
