Blackblood Knight
Armond Aguillarde
Armond is an Ishgardian Knight who has spent most of his years serving his home and Halone as a Dragoon of the Holy See - as the conflict would drag on, his optimisms about the war left him, the experiences of losing friends and comrades to combat turned the man into a quiet, reserved soldier.Armond would become severely injured during the Final Steps of Faith, helping hold the line against the Horde he would be flung from the maw of a dragon only to wake up to the news the war had ended - as the truths about the Holy See would come to light, Armond would use his injury as an excuse to retire from the Order of the Knight's Dragoon, leaving Ishgard shortly thereafter.As he wandered the lands of Hydaelyn the Ishgardian had found the resolve to accept his trade, that of war - though his pride would not allow him to work as a mercenary and due to his experience he often would get into arguments with adventurers of which he worked alongside - so he resolved to leave the world a better place than how he entered it, opening a shelter to those in need of a bed, food and even training, should they desire it.Armond now oversees the day-to-day operations of a House Of Commons under a name agreed upon by him and his closest friends, Avenir, and seeks to shelter and teach those who desire it.
