Reginald was born on the 13th Sun of the 3rd Astral Moon, year 1547 of the 6th Astral Era, around noontime in an island southeast of Gridania along Rothlyt Sound.
3. Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
Reginald was born to Florence Noble – an engineer who specialized in alchemy equipments – and Edgar Gravellow – a cart driver who transports materials between the three remaining city-states. Both are Gridanians. His mother is straightforward, kind, and generous. His father is also kind and generous but is hot tempered, has a terrible sense of humor, and a habitual complainer. His mother is older than his father by several years.
4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
Reginald has a twin brother named Nic. They look nothing alike and have opposing personalities. They dropped out of contact after the war claimed their mother’s life, both blaming the other for her passing.
5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
Reginald is currently staying in Limsa Lominsa where the Arcanist’s guild is located. He does not have a house of his own yet and is merely taking advantage of the free lodging for members of the adventurer’s guild. He lives with his retainer Ohki.

His eye color and hair color are both black. He has terrible fashion sense, opting for function over form. His retainer L'sandra often picks his clothes to avoid embarrassment.
8. To which social class do you belong?
Reginald belongs to the middle class of society. He earns enough to support himself with a little extra for savings.
