Foulques

Foulques is a non-playable character from Final Fantasy XIV. A rogue lancer, he appears as an antagonist in the Lancer class quests.

Appearance
Foulques is a duskwight Elezen with dark grey skin and white hair.

Story
Foulques appears throughout the Lancer quests with a chip on his shoulder towards the guild. He argues that the lancers are "cowards" and that true courage can only be obtained in the heat of battle, in contrast to Ywain's insistence that it lies in composure and resolve. He frequently complicates the Guildmaster's training sessions for the Adventurer, often by making matters more difficult than intended, such as moving the stone of courage into the voidsent-infested Spirithold.

In spite of his bravado, he shows his true weakness when confronted by the Lord of the Brambl Patch, a giant boar used to test lancer's resolve. While the Adventurer remained steadfast in thew face of danger, Foulques was knocked down and left cowering.

In the final Lancer quest, Foulques had attacked a group of novice lancers in the Central Shroud, unleashing a pack of lindwurms. Tracking him to Alder Springs, the Adventurer confronts the deranged lancer, who reveals the truth behind his grudge: he had taken the fall for the theft of guild coffers, in which his accomplices betrayed him out despite agreeing to confess to the crime. Maddened with rage, the two engage in a fierce duel, which culminates in Foulques falling into a chasm.
