Character

Lord Knight and reigning prince of the Royal House of Nodion. He became the heir to the throne when his eldest brother and eldest sister committed regicide on his parents as well many generals and strategists of their army. Working hard to restore his kingdom's strength and gain the respect of other nations, he changed the "barbaric culture" of the Nodion people, putting policies in place that such actions were beneath them and they set an example to the world that they were no longer a warmongering tribe of hardy men and women but civilized men and women who are capable of engaging in trade and commerce.

Hezul had to put down many rebellions as angry men and women who clung to the old ways of their people felt he was dishonoring the true Nodion way. Hezul explained that at one time their methods would have worked but with how the world changes, you can either adapt and change with it or become a powerless relic of the past and be left behind and forgotten.

During his reign, Hezul did follow the Royal customs of having a polygamous marriage though not as many as previous rulers. All three wives were controversial to the hardy Nodion people as neither of them shared a drop of Nodion blood and were outsiders. Hezul did not care as he loved his wives regardless of how they were viewed.

Near the end of his life, Hezul remained mostly bed ridden. His first wife, Xaiya (nee Ravensong) would light a pyre for Hezul, and the nation would honor their ruler's life and eventually mourn with his passing.

When the pyre burned out, Hezul fell into what felt like an endless sleep. When he awakened, Hezul found himself in Limsa. Not only that, but he had become quite youthful again. He did not know how he got there or where even there was but he decided to let fate carry him forward. And it would not be alone, for when passing through New Gridania, he would unite with Xaiya and never part ways with her again.
