Aldo

Aldo (アルド, Arudo?) is a non-player character in Final Fantasy XI, a recurring figure in Rise of the Zilart and Chains of Promathia missions, and arguably the main character in the Final Fantasy XI: A Crystalline Prophecy - Ode of Life Bestowing missions.

Twenty years prior to the game, Aldo came to Tavnazia alongside his older sister Emeline. However, by nightfall, Tavnazia was overrun by Orcs with the defenders outmatched and outnumbered. Aldo was among citizens of the town to flee the battleground, also ending up one of the few survivors while his sister appeared to have died getting him to safety. Sometime after, Aldo gained Verena as an adopted sister.

As head of the Tenshodo in Jeuno, Aldo appears frequently in storylines as he is suspicious of the Archduke of Jeuno, especially after Verena disappears. He appears in Chains of Promathia to aid Prishe after she is stranded far from Tavnazia by a Battle Airship. Though he and Prishe have no prior association, Prishe demands his help in the name of his dead father—whose help in returning her home she had originally hoped to secure.
