REGULA VAN HYDRUS

The eldest son of the influential Hydrus family, Regula is a pure-blooded Garlean who has been fast friends with Varis zos Galvus since both were but boys playing in the imperial palace. He is known to be a man of honor, and his support for Varis in the war of succession never once wavered, no matter how bleak matters became. Regula also aided in his friend's candidacy by attacking the encampments of rival Factions

By all reports, Varis trusts Regula implicitly. That the Emperor gave him command of the Gration and asked him to find the mythical floating isle of Azys Lla bespeaks as much. THe legatus of the 6th, in turn, is a staunch beliver in the necessity of exterminating the eikons.

Regula has two great loves over his 44 summers -- music, and ancient Garlean techniques of the sword. Few more ardently support the art, and fewer still are more practiced.

GAIUS VAN BAELSAR

Legatus of the 14th Legion, Gaius is a pure-blooded Garlean possessed of a natural flair for wartime command, perhaps equaled only by his sensibilities as a governing administrator. Known as the Black Wolf, his many accomplishments include the conquest and political assimilation of the five enemy cities. In subjugating Ala Mhigo, he employed subterfuge to stoke the fires of civil unrest, a masterstroke which led to the nation's capture without the need for a protracted seige. Though he remained in Ala Mhigo as the imperial viceroy, he began to move against Eorzea again shortly following the Calamity. With a display of might from his Ultma Weapon, Gaius came near to cowing the Eorzean city-states into submission... until, that is, he met the Warrior of Light in battle. Gaius fought as would become a hero of the Empire, valiantly wielding Terminus Est, a most difficult and deadly battle technique. In the end, however, he died a soldier's death within the walls of Castrum Meridianum ere he could see his 57th summer.
