Captain Falvard is known to possess the Echo, marking him as a Warrior of Light. His Echo first manifested at the Battle of Carteneau Flats, when he was exposed to the hyperabundant aether brought forth by Bahamut's appearance. His Echo manifests as powerful telepathy, allowing him to understand all spoken language, as well as read the thoughts and memories of those he encounters.Captain Falvard is known to possess an active Darkside, a part of himself that he wrestles with often. When under heavy stress or facing a superior enemy, his Darkside will ascend to zenith status, empowering his abilities at the cost of empathy and kindness. Only once the danger has passed is he able to force his Darkside back to nadir status and regain his sense of self.Weaknesses
Captain Falvard suffers from acute dyslexia. He makes use of a pair of Allagan spectacles that help him make sense of written text. Without the aid of these spectacles, his reading comprehension drops to that of an eight year old child.Habits and Vices
Captain Falvard is a well-known hedonist. Like most Roegadyn, everything he does, he does to its fullest (and loudest). He is a heavy cigar smoker, often consuming more than ten cigars in a day. The 58-ring Cieldaeles Santo Royo is his smoke of choice. He is also very fond of double-oaked Coerthan whiskey, and always keeps a flask on him at all times. He is a known philanderer, often enjoying the company of young ladies of various Spoken races.
