History Characters / FinalFantasyXIVDisciplesOfWar

* BigBad: Of the Marauder storyline.

Curious Gorge's older brother. Once also a Warrior, Broken Mountain was the main target of the 30-50 Warrior quests, as Curious Gorge and the Warrior of Light sought to stop him after he succumbed to his Inner Beast. While they were successful, he suffered a career-ending injury at his brother's hands, forcing him to retire and instead pour over texts to better understand the Warrior and control the Inner Beast.

* TheUnfought: Is set up as the apparent BigBad of the ''A Realm Reborn'' Warrior quests, only to fall to his brother before the Warrior of Light gets a chance to fight him.

* BigBad: Of the Stormblood Warrior questline. He's first mentioned in the Level 68 quest, then appearing in the Level 70 quest.

* BigBad: Of the Heavensward Monk storyline.

* ArcVillain: Of the Stormblood Monk arc.

* BigBad: The acting head of the Alacran.

* WildCard: It's nigh impossible to tell in which side Karasu is with the exception of his own, especially due to his trickery and his theatrics. No better example of this is found than in [[spoiler:the final battle against Hanzo, where the previous [[TheDragon dragon]] to the BigBad of the original Ninja Quest becomes your main ally!]]

* BigBad: Of the Heavensward Dark Knight storyline.

* BigBad: He makes himself the villain through his dogged attempts to discredit or destroy Skysteel due to what he perceives as an affront to Ishgardian culture. [[spoiler:In fact, he'd been sabotaging the manufactory before he was even formally introduced, being the one who tried to pay Rostnsthal to abandon them, and sending saboteurs one after another.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He is so buried in the politicking of the Ishgardian nobility, he cannot understand why anyone would have empathy and integrity. [[spoiler: When he is injured during Veri Selen's assault, he is surprised Stephanivien orders his machinists to protect Tedalgrinche, and didn't use the opportunity to off him (which not only would have ousted a political rival, but in turn would have dropped the charges levied against Stephanivian, as Tedalgrinche was the one making them). Then afterwards, when he offers Stephanivien any favour he wants, Stephanivien merely requests to be left alone and let the manufactury continue its work in peace. While Tedalgrinche agrees to honor this wish, he cannot believe Stephanivien doesn't demand money or any other material benefit.]]

* BigBad: Of the ''Stormblood'' Machinist arc.

* BigBad: Of the 60-70 gunbreaker quest line. Though he doesn't appear until the Level 68 quest.

* BigBad: Of the Reaper Job Questline, due to wanting to eat the Warrior's soul, and being Drusilla's archnemesis.

A young Elezen looking for a diary related to the Autumn War, which happens to be in Gyr Abania. He enlists the help of the [=WoL=], Sanson and Guydelot to retrieve it.

* AwfulTruth: [[spoiler:The diary the group is looking for contains compromising information regarding the Autumn War that could sour the relations between Gridania and Ala Mhigo.]]
* BadLiar: His request - he has knowledge of damning information when it comes to the relationship between Gridania and Ala Mhigo, but will only reveal it if they bring him along - is sketchy as hell, and it doesn't help at all that he keeps being a bother to the quest. [[spoiler:Is it any wonder then that the group suspects him immediately, or that he turns out to be the BigBad?]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:He is the villain of the 60-70 Bard questline.]]

* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:The reason for his actions. The Mhigans poisoned his ancestor, a famous Gridanian general, during the Autumn War. He wants to reveal the truth to sour the relationship between Gridania and Ala Mhigo.]]

* {{Catchphrase}}: He likes calling people "simpletons", especially Widargelt.

* ApologizesALot: Myste always feels responsible for whatever hardship he comes across to the point that "forgive me" is his {{Catchphrase}}.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Forgive me." He says it quite a bit after every questline comes to an end, and [[ApologizesALot even a few times during those quests]]. But it's a hint as to who -- or rather, ''what'' -- he really is.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Such evil cannot be suffered!" is a phrase he'll commonly say before deiciding to rid the world of some sort of evildoer. The Warrior can even use it themself in one quest.

* ExposedToTheElements: Due to his mental discipline, Musosai remains perfectly comfortably in his kimono even in the heat of Thanalan or the freezing climes of Ishgard. This is especially noticeable given how his feet are bare thanks to his wooden sandals, meaning that he'd suffer frostbitten toes if he were any less tough than he is.

* BoxedCrook: Messalla leads the Alaudae, a collection of Garlean prisoners who serve the empire in exchange for reduced sentences. They fight like men possessed, both for the promise of freedom and to avoid the wrath of Messalla.

* AchillesInHisTent: PlayedWith. [[spoiler:When he fights alongside the player character, he is unable to attack to the point where he leaves [=him/her=] to fend for [=him/her=]self. In the final mission, he still isn't able to attack but seeing the possibility of losing another companion is what drives him to use his bow once again]].

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Initially writes off the player character as a "glorified sellsword." [[spoiler:His opinion changes when he fights him/her.]]

Captain of the Sekiseigumi of Kugane, Kongo is a man who's temper has been tested by Ugetsu's rebellion and the loss of a number of his comrades in arms of the Sekiseigumi, either to a blade or to spies and traitors in the ranks. As such, he views the Warrior of Light with suspicion upon his/her arrival to Kugane at Makoto's behest.

* BullyingADragon: Decides that his best course of action is not only to fight the most renowned primal and voidsent slayer in the universe, but that he needs to piss him/her off as much as he can beforehand by kidnapping a friend and mentor of his/hers.

** The first thing he thinks of upon seeing the Warrior of Light's bountiful aether is how much he wants to devour it. The ''sensible'' course of action would have been to wonder just ''how'' powerful the owner of that aether could be, and just what they would do with it given sufficient incentive. And at the point in the story where Orcus can be first encountered, the Warrior of Light has killed ''far'' more dangerous and imposing things than a single voidsent, no matter how strong said voidsent might be. Keep in mind, by this point the Warrior of Light had long since fought off many of the highest-ranking voidsent around such as the Cloud of Darkness, Scathach (Queen of the Voidsent) and a Scathach-empowered Diabolos Hollow, ''much'' earlier in their career.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: ''And how!'' [[Fanchise/MetalGear Revolver Ocelot]] would be proud.

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: The essential reason as to why the adventurer opposes him. Contrasting the rest of the revolutions present in the expansion who rebel in order to obtain independence and have figures capable of establishing porder once that goal has been accomplished, Ugetsu's first and only plan is to resurrect the Age of Blood and hope that the ones that come out on top will be better than the present corrupt rulers, the problem with this logic is that ''the Age of Blood established the dynasties that put those rulers in place''. While Makoto's solution is far from perfect and is significantly slower, Ugetsu's methods will only ensure that someday, somehow another corrupt ruler would take take the reigns.

A master ninja and descendant of Hanzo the First, a legendary Hingan figure and creator of many ninjutsu. He is after the two scrolls that hold the secrets to a powerful ninjutsu technique.

* BigBad: Of the ''Stormblood'' ninja questline.

* HermitGuru: An elderly retired ninja who spends his days meditating on a secluded island.

'''Race:''' Midlander Hyur\\

Captain of the Truehounds and the one currently holding the stolen treasures.

* BigBad: Her gang was the one that stole the Yatsurugi treasures, making her this to Yuki's leg of the questline.

* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:She inflicts this on Redway after he decides to hightail it out of there.]]

* AffectionHatingKid: [[spoiler:Beats a hasty retreat when Vedrfolnir and Faunehm begin to get affectionate. Apparently even dragons can get repulsed by their parents being sappy and cuddly.]]

* BigBad: Of the Ninja story quest. [[spoiler:At least at first.]]

[[folder:Gekkai the Blind]]

Oboro, Tsubame, and Karasu's master who was killed during the rebellion in Doma. [[spoiler:It turns out that he betrayed Doma and joined with the Garlean Army.]]
