Elidibus is one of the main antagonists in Final Fantasy XIV. He is one of the last surviving Unsundered Ascians, alongside Lahabrea, and Emet-Selch, and youngest of the Convocation of Fourteen. Once known as Thetis, he offered himself as a sacrifice to become the core of their "deity" Zodiark, to hold back the calamity befalling their world. When his people were divided into two factions over the ethical practice of sacrificing the lesser lifeforms of their world to restore those they sacrificed, Elidibus separated himself from the primal in an attempt to mediate an agreement on the proper course to pursue.
Elidibus in the modern era focuses on balance and seems to oversee the actions of his Sundered colleagues while establishing the legend of the Warrior of Light. However, due to his nature as a Primal, his memory rapidly degrades overtime and, by the events of 5.3, he has lost much of his own past with only his core memories remaining.
He is voiced by Akira Ishida, who well-known as Gaara in Naruto, Athrun Zala in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Ryuunosuke Uryuu in Fate/Zero, Kaworu Nagisa in Neon Genesis Evangelion and Zeref Dragneel in Fairy Tail.
Personality[]
Elidibus is polite and diplomatic, attempting to meet Minfilia Warde and the Warrior of Light on peaceful terms. This seems to be at odds with the other Ascians, who are cold at best toward the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Elidibus deviates from the methods of his black-robed brethren, and is not close or loyal to them, and states to Emperor Varis that he would not act against him should Varis use the Garlean Empire against the Ascians. Elidibus is nonetheless a dangerous and cunning foe to the Warrior of Light and the Scions. Even when his plans do not go accordingly, Elidibus is foresighted and intelligent enough to gain an advantage. According to Emet-Selch, while Elidibus may be a "worrier" and an "insufferable bore", he is no fool and the choices he makes are rarely wrong. Elidibus is subtle in the pursuit of his goals, being a master of manipulation and in using half-truths to convince others the righteousness of the Ascians' cause. He possesses the typical Ascian overconfidence when appearing to have the advantage, as after gaining the body of Zenos, he mistakenly believes he can easily defeat the Warrior of Light. Likewise, Elidibus fails to foresee Zenos's return or stop him from reclaiming his body, forcing the Emissary into fleeing.
