Lothaire Altimiro

Born of two Twin Adder officers and the youngest of 2 sons, Lothaire remains ever close to his family. When his vision mysteriously began to decay at age 22, Lothaire's older brother took it upon himself to teach him to adjust to the lifestyle of the blind, acting as a guardian and mentor up until his death in the Seventh Umbral Calamity. Since then, it has become Lothaire's turn to take on the role of caretaker - this time for the ailing Aurelie Altimiro, who has never been the same since the loss of her eldest son.

Often, Lothaire can be found in Gridania, the city where his father works currently as a city guard and officer of the Order of the Twin Adder. However, many inns across Eorzea have seen Lothaire come and go, often with an armful of books, instruments, and an assistant named Yuyuko in tow. He is able to see with the help of aetherically altered glasses. He tends to keep to himself, but he is not unapproachable, and the years of kindness shown to him by his older brother have taught him a lot about empathy and compassion. As of late, he is often seen with an Au Ra woman by his side, who serves as a loyal bodyguard and handmaiden. (Profile is still a WIP! Some sections will be incomplete!)

However, these opportunities are rare, as he usually prefers to pass up the chance for social interaction. He is an avid music lover, and harbors an especially enthusiastic appreciation of foreign languages.
