Hildibrand Manderville



Hildibrand is a minor non-playable character in Final Fantasy XIV. He is a male Highlander comic-relief character involved in quests related to player Inn rooms. He is often seen with his Miqo'te sidekick, Nashu Mhakaracca.

Appearance and Personality
Hildibrand sports a black and white coatee with a rose on his lapel, as well as a monacle. He likes to show off his muscular Highlander build with a flexing animation that is accompanied by cliche cartoon noises.

Hildibrand is a slapstick stooge. In some cases he will offer his services when the case has already been solved. When investigating an open case, he shows a complete lack of competence, such as making his presence known when trying to shadow a suspect.

Creation and Development
Hildibrand was created for the quests required to unlock private Inn rooms, which were released March 8th, 2012 as part of patch 1.21. Due to positive fan reception, he has become a recurring character for Inn-related quests.
