Well after scrapping my first idea I was playing around with the idea of making a Garlean after seeing a thread complaining that there really aren't as many willing to try roleplaying as a Garlean. I've always fancied the idea of creating a potential villain and recently got all the glamour pieces from Odin-san so I thought about putting it to good use with a story to tell.Â

Description/Comments:Â
Early LifeÂ
Unlike some who were born of normal heritage, she was a byproduct of a unison between a Garlean soldier and a spoil of war from Doma. She hasn't the foggiest of memories of her own parents, father could potentially be dead somewhere from an unknown campaign and as for her own mother she always believed she died either through child birth or through a torrent of emotional stress and break down.Â

Unlike most who had a peaceful upbringing, everyday was a challenge against the odds as the young orphan grew up in the slums knowing nothing but sharpening the means of surviving as well as an object that could be used to inflict pain. She spent much of her childhood surviving in the lawless slums of Gol where you either lived another day or became staple diet of local flocks of crows. Stealing, stabbing, lying, all of these became second nature to her just as one would find the act of breathing air a second nature to them and as she grew, she couldn't wait to leave behind the slums even if the alternative was to put her life at risk, for generous sums of coin of course.
As one among many who sought to make fortune by serving the Imperial Army, Sion served in many campaigns and lived to tell tales unlike her peers who fertilized the battlefields with their corpses now probably long forgotten. As with many young Garleans who truly believed in the philosophy of Justice lies with the Mighty, she served as a vanguard in many campaigns until her name was well known throughout the Imperial Army as the Butcher of the IIth Legion. Known for her cruel and brutally effective leadership accompanied by seasoned combat ability, she was the ideal killing machine that awed the hearts of frontline Centurions while striking dreadful fear against those that were unfortunate to encounter her.

With all the makings of an accomplished warrior, thrice she had objected against promotion in her military career, serving at the frontlines by choice to sate her insatiable hunger for bloodshed and martial prowess. Among many ridiculous rumors circulating her identity it's said that she may have received an official summons from the late Emperor of Garlemald, his Majesty Solus zos Galvus, to serve the legion as an Imperial Legatus only to turn down the offer as it would get in her way of pursuing a martial path.Â
At the pinnacle of her military career, Sion was a renown prodigy at warfare despite never having to formally study strategy, yet the vanguards she led had never lost a battle because of her unique unorthodox savage tactics. An aggressive commander and tactician who likes to use guerilla warfare and psychological warfare. Her most unique and seemingly lethal trait was her uncanny ability to infiltrate an enemy's headquarters and kill their general as well as any commanding officers. Her boldness and bravado in combination with her unique tactics were a devastating combination, adding to her great aptitude in every regard.Â
As Garlemald came to be established and no worthy campaigns remained giving her the exhilaration of a hard fought battle, Sion resigned from the military only to be drawn back into battle against the very Empire she once served. During her time of unemployment she was approached by the noble house of Argus who sought to usurp the throne with the aid of other prominent leaders who grew dissatisfied with the Emperor's rule. Promised with a civil war that will surpass any previous campaigns she had partook in, Sion readily agreed to take lead in the civil war only to be crushed at the siege of Galgaster Trade City. While the rebel fleets battled against the XIVth Legion in the skies, Sion herself infiltrated deep into the enemy flagship Agrius in an unorthodox attempt to cut down the commanding officer, Gaius van Baelsar.Â
Gaius who anticipated Sion's plans instead, met his would be assailant by predicting the most probably point of infiltration and planned an ambush at the airdocks of Agrius. Despite the overwhelming defeat, Sion drew her blade against Gaius and exchanged blows only to learn her enemy was not only an accomplished strategist but a very capable warrior who surpassed her in every expectations. The battle ended as Gaius dealt a mortal blow severing Sion's sword arm while puncturing through her breastplate with his arm cannon which flew her off the docks into the ensuing airship dogfights below the flagship. Since then she was presumed dead as no man could have survived the fall from such height.Â
Present Life
Though the circumstances revolving around her narrow escape from death remains unclear, with the devil's own luck Sion survived that battle and her body was retrieved by those who also survived the onslaught of the XIVth Legion. One of her greatest benefactors was a key member of the Imperial Senate of Garlemald. Tenjin Iyl Stormrage, a former ninjutsu instructor and retired Minister of Military Affairs in Doma and now a member of the Senate who tried his best to change Garlemald from the inside than to openly resist it's armies. He was a calm and collected individual who saw great potential in taking her in as a disciple even if the person in question was openly defiant about it at first. Since then she has went through numerous cybernetic implants that replaced much of her ruptured organs as well as replacing her right arm built with Magitek technology. Sion has since then served Tenjin with new found loyalty by joining the Senate as it's consul and sword.

To her Tenjin was a teacher, her master, and a father she never had. Through much of the time she spent with him, she grew out of her savage personality of a warmongering warrior, quietly dissolving away the bloodthirsty persona of her young military career and with age she became an accomplished Imperial Judge of the Garlean Senate, adopting the name Wolph het Glacius. Fearing she might still be pursued by those that recognized her as a traitor of the Empire, when she adopted the new name she made it a habit to always conceal her identity behind thick sheets of plate armor and posing as a man. Thus became the man shrouded in layers of mystery, an Imperial Judge who went by the name Wolph het Glacius.
It was the overall decision of the Senate that disapproved the current Emperor's interests in world domination yet they were powerless against the overwhelming support of the new Emperor and his interest in pushing the war efforts against the respective rulers of Eorzea. Even those that once supported the war efforts during the rule of his grace Emperor Solus Zos Galvus refused to support the war efforts after the 2 previous campaigns that costing them greatly. The Senate surmised that another great war will only result in a senseless bloodshed defeating the very purpose of their late Emperor's will which was to create a world without the Primal threat. Though some still cling onto the old ideas of subjugation as the best answer for all, the majority of the Senate began to see that in order to survive they must learn to co-operate with the other nations.
At present she had been dispatched to Ishgard on a discreet diplomatic exchange between the Garlean Imperial Senate and the Sacred Tribunal of Halonic Inquisitory in an attempt to prevent an all out war, a task seemingly impossible if naught but a fool's errand due to the political powers involved in both kingdoms. She can be easily be spotted within the halls of the Vault or the Saint Reymanaud Cathedral donning her intimidating armor befitting of an Imperial Judge of the Garlemald Senate despite the gaze of immense hatred she generates from those that come across her.
