He has, and will, kill for them.While his morality is flexible under the right circumstances, there are certain lines he will never cross. There are some fates worse than death.

  BIOGRAPHY.   Arken was born into a struggling noble family embroiled in cutthroat Ishgardian politics. A child of a muddled bloodline with dubious origins, a great deal of pressure was placed on him to be a worthy heir. He was destined to become a formidable warrior, a leader of men in wartime, and a shrewd head of family. Unfortunately all these expectations were too much for him to bear.Rebelling against his father's impossible expectations, he struck out on his own at 16. With nothing more than the martial skill drilled into him from birth, he turned to mercenary work to support himself. He drifted from one company to another, struggling to find a group of like-minded mercenaries he could rely upon.Making friends and allies along the way, he eventually pulled together a group trusted, hard workers from numerous companies, pulling them into a new entity they dubbed The Wayward. It was a company lead by a triumvirate--3 leaders, each with equal say in matters of business and management. Arken was on head of the triumvirate, being the founder of the whole enterprise.

A man by the name of Viktor Vasnetsov was another co-founder of The Wayward. The two often butted heads, as was the intention of the tri-leadership role, to make sure all members of the company felt they had representation. Viktor's role was to argue for... more extreme contracts and measures.This balancing act lasted for years, to the benefit of all. Or so everyone thought. During what should have been a simple cargo hauling mission for The Wayward, the group was nearly wiped out to the last man when they were ambushed. Arken and a handful of other survivors deduced Viktor's betrayal of the group and confronted him. Even outnumbered Viktor stood victorious, and nearly cut out Arken's eye during the battle.With most of Arken's friends dead or now sworn enemies who sided with Viktor, Arken was once again alone, and forced to return to taking whatever mercenary work he could to survive.

Master-At-Arms. An aspiring dragoon from childhood, a spear was thrust in his hands the moment he was old enough to carry the weight. Then came the sword, the bow, and so on and so forth. There isn't a weapon he hasn't mastered--including his own body.Reluctant Leader. He was trained to be a soldier, which meant not just following orders, but issuing them. Although he never aspired to become a leader of men, time and time again he was thrust into the role--if only for the rare quality of having an abundance of common sense. If not him, then someone worse.Aether Insensitive. Throughout his whole life Arken enjoyed the full use of aetherial magic, although was never particularly adept at it. But a recent global phenomenon damaged his ability to control his own aether. He has taken to wielding gunbreaker's arms to mitigate this disadvantage in combat as he seeks a more permanent solution.
