Dei MolMerc
for Hire

Durendaire born and raised. A determined elezen from Ishgard

  PERSONALITY    Dei Mol is sharp, composed, and unmistakably proud — a man who knows his worth and makes no effort to hide it. He carries himself with quiet confidence and a calculating edge, preferring actions to words. Beneath that cool exterior, however, lies a vindictive streak; he does not easily forget a slight or a betrayal. Still, his sense of honor keeps him measured — his grudges are not reckless, but deliberate. Though distant at first glance, his respect is hard-earned and his loyalty, once given, unwavering. With the rare few he allows close, Dei reveals a surprisingly charming and genuine side dry humor, subtle warmth, and a quiet protectiveness that few ever get to see.

  APPEARANCE   Standing at an imposing 7 fulms and 1 ilm, his presence commands attention long before he speaks. His silver-grey hair frames sharp, aristocratic features and an olive-yellow gaze that seems to measure everything it falls upon. A faint scar traces the edge of his jaw, a mark of experience earned through countless travels. Beneath the tailored armor and fine detailing lies a frame honed by years of battle. Muscle shaped by the demanding discipline of a gunbreaker’s craft, every motion carrying the quiet power of one well-versed in both strength and precision.

  Biography   Born and raised amid the cold spires of Ishgard, Deimont Durendaire was a highborn child marked by quiet reserve and expectation. It was his closest friend, Aurvault, who drew him out of his shell, and together they formed a rebellious bond that defied noble convention. Whether mingling with those in the Brume or challenging the rigid order of Ishgardian life, they followed their own path.Both joined the Temple Knights, training side by side to become dragoons. Deimont served faithfully among their ranks, defending his nation with pride and skill. Yet war is a cruel teacher, and the day he lost Aurvault shattered something within him. He abandoned the lance soon after, turning his back on knighthood to live among the commonfolk he once swore to protect. As a machinist and wanderer, he sought purpose beyond titles and bloodlines.One crime, quietly buried by his family, forced him to flee Ishgard altogether. Exiled and disowned, he took to life as a mercenary, leaving the Durendaire name behind. His travels carried him across the star, where a fateful encounter in the Azim Steppe changed his course once again. Taken in by the Mol tribe, he found a new name, Dei Mol, and for a time, peace.A vision from the gods eventually called him home. Returning to Ishgard, Dei sought redemption and reconciliation. Now working with a company in Coerthas and reunited with his kin, he has reclaimed both his honor and his name. Along the way, he found love and is now proudly bonded, having finally found something, and someone, worth staying for.
