Vidir Rehw-gilda

 Biography  Vidir was born in Golmore jungle and for a number of years had a typical male Viera upbringing. He was given over to be trained by the other males when he was discovered to be such and took well to the Wood-warder training that took the life of many of his friends. One thing he did not take to however was the reality of a Wood-warder's life: solitude. Isolation.Vidir didn't like the idea of living however many centuries he had alone save for what time he spend seeding a new generation in the villages, so he left. One day he just walked out of the Golmore jungle and into the heart of Dalmasca, towards Rabanastre. There he started his new life under the eye of Garlean occupation.For a time Vidir's life went as well as one could hope for during the occupation. He made his living as a hunter and caravan guard, applying his skills from training to be a Wood-warder well. Vidir found his fortunes change when his close friend Murad passed suddenly and Vidir was entrusted with the guardianship of Murad's child: a young boy named Souhail.Saddled with the responsibility of a young child and with few prospects to provide for them both Vidir turned to the only option he thought he had. Conscription. Vidir joined the IVth Legion where his skills saw him assigned to a reconnaissance focused unit. He served for a decade with distinction in every threater of operation the IVth was involved in.Vidir earned Garlean citizenship and eventually the rank of decurion. His commanding officer gave him the name Virgil pyr Nisus. A name he once took pride in. However, things changed over the years. Vidir, or Virgil's absence made Souhail resentful and angry of his adoptive father and the Empire he served. Anger took to action as Souhail embraced revolution partaking in the infamous Barheim Incident.The retaliations that followed lead to Vidir personally witnessing the events which gave name to the Witch of Dalmasca. However more personally harrowing for Vidir he would witness the execution of Souhail. Captured by his unit Vidir's commanding officer a pureblooded Garlean known as Cassius quo Acutius ordered him to execute Souhail. An order Vidir refused.Vidir was dishonorable discharged and sentenced to serve hard labor at a Garlean work in the far north, but not before he witnessed Souhail's execution at Cassius' hand. Vidir abandoned his city name that day. After a few years in the labor camp Vidir escaped, making his way south and devoting himself to resistance against Garlean oppression.Vidir's path took him across the whole of Othard and Ilsabard. When the IVth Legion collapsed Vidir sought justice against Cassius, however like many former officers of the IVth stained with war crimes Cassius disappeared. The years since Vidir has drifted seemingly aimlessly making his way as a mercenary and bodyguard.Vidir last spent time in Radz-at-Han and has since moved away from Thavnair to Eorzea proper, and more specifically Ul'dah. All the while he plys himself as a mercenary and adventurer, Vidir keeps communication with the Rumta-Zaraam. To this day he still hunts Cassius. For the war crimes he had committed, and the retribution Vidir thirsts for.
