Aronaux is a twenty-four year old wildwood Ishgardian of the minor noble houses Farendaire and Embrelle.  Despite having spent many years of his youth in Ul'dah after his mother, Lady Celinae, received the ire of and threats of assassination froma rival house, the Vairemonts, Farendaire is an avid nationalist of the Holy See.  His interactions with southerners, especially in recent years, have caused him to privately reconsider his political and religious convictions.  Aronaux, while not considering himself a full-blown heretic, has learned to keep his thoughts unheard while with polite Ishgardian company.  An expert archer and protégé of his uncle, Shalinor Embrelle, Aronaux Farendaire has seen great success on the battlefield against the Dravanian Horde and considers himself as important and equal as a dragoon.
