My Pugilist Midlander, Clive Stark, is a Ala Mhigan, but he is not part of the resistance. Since I decided that his age would be around mid/late twenties, I realized he would have been six years old or so when Ala Mhigo fell, so he likely is part of that generation of kids that got the Garlean brainwash.
As far as he is concerned, he considers Garleans to be following the right cause. He doesn't believe in the Twelve, and despises beastmen and Primals greatly, just as his Garlean officers taught him.
He was part of the Garlean army during 1.0, but since Bahamut struck, he awoke alone in the desert, with a tattoo on his forehead and no remembrance of how he got there. All his attempts to join the Empire again by visiting the several outposts in Eorzea ended up with the soldiers chasing him away and threatening to kill him should he approach again.
And since then he has been living among the refugees of Ala Mhigo, though never sharing their feelings of revenge.^^

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
