Askeladd, real name “Lucius Artorius Castus”, was a Welsh-Danish Warlord who commanded a mercenary band of bloodthirsty Vikings by which the main protagonist, Thorfinn, followed for over a decade. He's a descendant of the legendary Roman King, by which he was named after, through his mother’s side. Askeladd was named after the Great King by his mother who idolized King Artorius and always claimed he would come save them from slavery. His nickname of “Askeladd'' is loosely based on the Norwegian story of “The Ashen Lad”, as he was constantly covered in ash thanks to the various jobs he did as a child slave.
Character Name: Self-explanatory Canon: Final Fantasy XIV Crucial Past Events: His father shooting him, the Calamity… basically anything involving Bahamut is fair game for Askeladd to know. Same with the evens of the Alexander raids and the Omega raids.
I’m open to other things too, of course, but those are definitely the major ones. Why must he be the side content guy. Notable Past Locations: The Magitek Academy and the Ironworks. Specifically the Rhalgr’s Reach location, since that seems to be where he’s settled. Notable People: Nero, his father, Gaius, and the Ironworks trio of Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie. There's also the Warrior of Light, of course, but since we don't have one, that's going to need to be kept vague.
