Present

While still a thief, Arseni has built up a fortune and has no need for petty crime anymore. He steals only that which piques his interest, and loves to make a show of it. Every article written about him is an ego boost, even if they scarcely know his name or face. He keeps his underworld contacts as small as possible, working only with those who do jobs he cannot—forgeries, appraisals, information, and the like.

His day-to-day is mundane for a wanted criminal, spending his time relaxing and enjoying the amenities of upper-class city life. He often wanders from place to place, moving onto the next city anytime he grows bored. There are a few hobbies in his repertoire, namely sewing. He joined the guild in Ul'dah to improve his skills but is helpless when it comes to stitching together clothes. However, his ability to weave fabric is much better, a skill learned during his wood-warder days. A garment pulled together with ugly stitches was functional, but fabric poorly weaved let out precious heat in the cold of the Skatay Range.

He loves city life, but his upbringing has set a firm fear of the wilderness into him. As much as he indulges in any manner of fancy things, he fears losing them. Triannually he'll venture into the wild with nothing but the clothes on his back, to keep his survival skills sharp. These outings always leave him irritable for the week after, and he often locks himself inside his room to wait for the mood to pass.
