Nabriales

Nabriales is a character from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. He is one of the Ascians introduced during the epilogue of 2.0's story arc.

Appearance and Personality
Like other Ascians, Nabriales is wearing a black leather hooded coat with purple markings and adornments. His few on-screen appearances have shown him wearing no mask with the hood down, and while is face is obscured in shadow, his form is that of a Midlander Hyur male with light-brown or blonde hair.

Story
Nabriales is seen during the epilogue as the player completes the quest "The Ultimate Weapon." He along with many other Ascians join Lahabrea in a dark, poorly lit environment that obscures their faces in shadow. They comment how Bahamut has been stirring again after the fall of the Ultima Weapon, and that the other Elder Primals will soon follow as the Reckoning comes.

Nabriales is seen again at the conclusion of Patch 2.1's story arc, where he questions Elidibus's intentions for approaching Minfilia and the Adventurer. He states he does not share Elidibus interest in how they've grown powerful in the gift.

Nabriales is seen once again in Patch 2.5. He confronts the adventurer and Moenbryda in Northern Thanalan, sensing that the adventurer is no longer blessed with Hydaelyn's Blessing, and therefore no longer a threat to the Ascians. He decides to go to The Rising Stone to retrieve Louisoix's Staff in order to be Zodiark's Right Hand. He takes the staff, along with Minfilia to the Chrysalis (Final Fantasy XIV), but not before wounding Moenbryda. After rescuing Minfilia from the clutches from the Ascian, Nabriales reappears and explains that he cannot be slain. The adventurer and Minfillia seal the Ascian, then uses Louisoix's staff to permenantly seal him within, with the cost of Moenbryda's life.

Etymology
"Nabriales" refers to the light scion "Nabriales, the Majestic " referred to in the profile of Cúchulainn from Final Fantasy XII.
