Trygve Azuldune
Owner of "The Second Story" Lounge
Ex-Spymaster of Valnain
Though his exact age is never shared with anyone, Trygve appears to have been born in the last 13th century of the Sixth Astral Era. This would make him close to two centuries in age. Being a Viera, the age hardly shows on his visage, though light streaks appear to be in his dark colored hair. Trygve Azuldune is not his village name, and appears to have been selected after he came to civilisation.Coming from the Golmore Jungle of Othard, Trygve was originally one of the more magically inclined jacks to stalk the forest and jungle, gaining a reputation in his territory as an Elementalist and practitioner of magic, illusion, and stealthiness. It is not clear why he left the Golmore behind and ventured to the eastern sands of Dalmasca (The Estersand), though it is clear that quite quickly he joined the Valendia Knights of Peace (VKP). With the VKP being the authority in the region, operating from Valnain (A port city in eastern Dalmasca), Trygve appeared to rise through their ranks and into the role of an Agent for Valnain by the early 1400's of the 6th Astral Era.
Eventually attaining the rank of Spymaster by the late 1400's, he set upon his role very actively. A unique approach to his tenure as Spymaster of the VKP was that Trygve was actually fairly public, often networking his agents tasks with those of friendly nations. In his words "Dalmasca is the power of our region, if we are ever vulnerable it will be to a great foreign power".
His prophecy came unfortunately true, the Garlean Empire rising their airships above the Skatay Range to assail Dalmasca in 1547 of the 6th Astral Era. Rather than fleeing the nation, Trygve was caught up within the siege of Nalbina Fortress for six months, disappearing after Dalmasca finally faltered to the siege.
Originally thought to be dead, Trygve had been held in confinement for thirty long years in Garlemald. A fortunate chance to escape presented itself when a knight, Mila Raine, was interred after his previous cellmate passed away. By working together with Mila, they were both able to escape the prison and Garlemald, return to the remains of his nation, and liberate a safehouse worth of supplies and funds to begin new lives.Together they agreed to found the Second Story Lounge, in reference to their chance at living two lives from the ashes of the old. Though it seems peaceful enough of an existence, there is rumor that it is a front for a new agency founded upon Trygve's experience and Mila's martial knowhow.
Personality/About:Trygve operates as proprietor of The Second Story Lounge, a place that seems to open intermittently with a relaxed feel in reflection of his own personality. Despite a hermetic and tribal background, Trygve appears to take to interacting with gentry thoroughly well, and could be described as a refined gentleman in both dress and speech.Behind the subtle smiles, handshakes, and friendly winks, belies the Spymaster and Agent. An experienced and highly capable man who rose from wild green boughs of boundless nature to operating with subterfuge in political and military environments. Trygve could be described as sharp, a smooth operator, and casually friendly. You might not be able to tell whose side he is truly on until fire hits gunpowder.For a Viera involved in dangerous work, his age is exceptional, and he is able to comment about the world with a near encyclopedic knowledge of history, events, and changing of the times. Trygve traveled the continents when Garlemald did not yet exist, when Ala Mhigo still warred with Gridania, when Doma was still yet free. His perspective on the world can be very different from other adventurers of the 7th Astral Era.

To those who truly get to know Trygve well, a man involved with two centuries of mysteries has a few of his own. A great revelation is possible, an incredible conspiracy with grand answers to Trygve's being and past. This is not handed over easily, and is posed as carefully placed inconsistencies or detectable lies to individuals who interact with Trygve regularly.I welcome other roleplayers to try and discover and discern this great secret about Trygve, though it truly would take a lot of time and thought to unearth.
Hooks:
+Dalmascan: People from Dalmasca would interest Trygve and be able to enter discussion with him about its history, recent situation, and current state. Especially if they are from the Estersand, such as Valnain or Lea Monde.
+Agent: Those who are of a stealthy background may find wisdom from Trygve, or perhaps even a job if they are free operators. Trygve is often pleased to make friendly connections with others in his line of work, in contrast to how others might hide the situation. To what end he is doing this is unknown.
+Viera: Though he is two centuries from the home of the Rava, he is still a Viera and open with speaking to others of his culture and people. He gets along just as well with Veena, who he regularly interacted with due to proximity to the Skatay range.
+Magically Inclined: Trygve has retained his skills as an Elementalist all through his life, even when coming to civilization. Despite his refined dress and speech, he is often interested in others who practice magic, especially of a natural or austere background.
