"An arrogant and callous prince with a calculating mind and a devestating aptitude for both machines and magic."
-Description
Eald'narche is a villain and character representing Final Fantasy XI.
In the original title he was the elder of two brothers of an ancient line of Zilart royalty, he desired to open the gates to Nirvana and enter paradise himself-though dooming Vana'diel in the process. His eye turned to crystal in his first attempt and was cast into a deep slumber when the Zilart fell.
Although they work well together he in reality has little regard for even his younger brother, viewing him as a stepping stone on his way to paradise.
In his initial form he wears a dark blue and black robes with yellow linings and crossing brown patterns on the sleeves. His left eye is covered by an eye-patch, concealing his crystal eye.
In his first alternate form the Oracle Robes dresses him in the like named armor set from Final Fantasy XI dressing him in a leather and blue cloth robe with detached sleeves.
In his second alternate form the Igqira Weskit dresses him in the like named set from Final Fantasy XI, dresses Eald'narche far more exotically with elaborate tattoos and leather clothing decorated with multiple feathers and leather baubles.
His Manikin is bronze and called the Precursor of Antiquity
