Captain Silversage

I'm the black stain of your perfect life,
and I'm the darkness that you need to hide...
It covers you....It spills over you.

You track the doubts of my soul, until you found it. The darkened room locked away, I let you in. You looked inside then you turned away. My makeshift savior, you left me right here in my chains, but still I whisper, still I call you....

History

Aldex Memont was born into the noble house of Memont, one of the oldest merchant families in Ishgard. Raised in the heart of the city, Aldex learned the ways of trade and diplomacy from his father while his sister, Elira, excelled in the more formal and legitimate aspects of business. The Memont family had long been involved in the exchange of goods, both legal and illicit, establishing a reputation for excellence in the Ishgardian market.However, Aldex’s ambitions went far beyond the boundaries of simple commerce. He grew disillusioned with the rigid, conservative nature of Ishgard’s high society and its reliance on outdated practices. Over time, he carved out a shadowy empire beneath the polished surface of the family’s legitimate trade, taking control of the underbelly of Ishgard’s marketplace. Smuggling, black-market deals, and underground connections became Aldex’s domain, with his influence reaching into the furthest corners of Eorzea. His ruthlessness in securing power was unmatched, and his refusal to show mercy to those who crossed him earned him a fearsome reputation among both allies and enemies alike.But Aldex was not content to remain on the ground, bound by the limitations of traditional trade. His obsession with magitek—particularly its potential for revolutionizing both warfare and commerce—led him to delve deep into the secrets of ancient technologies. This obsession culminated in the loss of his right arm during an experimental magitek endeavor, a tragedy that was only turned into an opportunity. In its place, Aldex now bears a formidable magitek arm, a complex fusion of technology and magic that grants him enhanced strength, precision, and the ability to control advanced devices.By day, Aldex runs the darker side of the Memont business, orchestrating covert operations and smuggling goods across borders. By night, he is known by another name—Puck Silversage, the charismatic and daring captain of the skyship Star Chaser. As a freelance sky pirate, Puck Silversage has made a name for himself as both a ruthless opportunist and a charming, silver-tongued rogue. His adventures across the skies of Eorzea are legendary, as he raids merchant fleets, steals valuable magitek technology, and engages in thrilling aerial battles, all while maintaining the impeccable appearance of a dashing, somewhat roguish playboy.Despite his carefree demeanor and charm with women, Aldex is always calculating and strategic, using his sky-pirate persona as a means to extend his influence and expand his power. His charisma makes him a natural leader, able to command loyalty from his crew and manipulate allies and enemies alike. His ships are outfitted with the latest magitek innovations, and his leadership aboard the Star Chaser is as commanding as his rule over the black market.Though Aldex and his sister Elira appear to work together in public, their relationship is a complicated one. While Elira is the respectable face of the Memont name, maintaining the family’s reputation in legitimate trade and business, Aldex operates in the shadows. The two siblings share an unspoken bond, though their differing methods have often led to tension between them. Elira is aware of Aldex’s less savory activities, but she chooses to turn a blind eye—her desire to maintain the family's standing in Ishgard’s noble society outweighing her moral reservations.As the years pass, Aldex’s power continues to grow, and he has begun to seek out ever more dangerous alliances and potent magitek relics, all in the pursuit of ultimate control—of both the skies and the shadowed markets below. But with enemies growing bolder and more unpredictable, the Memont family’s delicate balance between the legitimate and the illicit is at risk. Aldex’s next move could be his most dangerous yet, and not even his charismatic smile or playboy charm may be enough to save him from the consequences of his unyielding ambition.

It’s my descent, to know your pain. It’s watching all I believed fade away... Of traitors and fools...Of beggars and thieves...Which mask will you choose? What is underneath...
