Warren Castille: A Free Paladin who picked up the sword and shield to protect the woman he'd eventually marry. He got his start banging out dented shields in the Coliseum's back halls and practiced their swordplay in the off-hours. His priority was always protecting the girl of his dreams, and while he took up the title of Free Paladin when offered to him, he knew that Ul'dah would only ever come second at best.
He strives to be a good man, but Eorzea is a harsh place. He's had to do things he hasn't wanted to in the name of that protection, and he's come to terms with the fact that if it keeps people safe, he's willing to do what he thinks a situation calls for.
Recently, he's ended up running the Grindstone - a fighting tournament situated in Central Thanalan and the foremost rule is that no one kills one another. He considers the establishment a learning environment first and proving ground second. Nowhere else in Eorzea can you learn how to not die without actually risking your life.
...man, I always feel so corny when trying to sum up my character!
