Louisoix Leveilleur

Louisoix is a prominent Non-player character in Final Fantasy XIV. He is the leader of the Circle of Knowing, a group involved in the Seventh Umbral Era storyline. He is most notable as the NPC involved in all quests related to Primals.

Appearance and Personality
Louisoix is an elderly Elezen wearing an acton, armored leggings, and a horned staff. He bears the Circle of Knowing tattoo on his forehead, rather than his neck. He has white hair with a beard and a receding hairline, and closely resembles the Revs of Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift in skin tone.

Louisoix, like the rest of the Circle, is well-spoken and informed. He is the typical wise old wizard, offering guidance and encouraging adventurers to overcome the daunting threat of the Primals.

Story
Louisoix arrived in Gridania in response to the first appearance of a Primal, Ifrit. Since then he has used his skills and connections to help adventurers gather the items needed to enter the lairs of the Primals.

Clips of an FMV-rendered Louisoix appear in the new trailer for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. He is standing alone atop a mountain, his staff glowing as he defies Dalamud's rain of destruction. The narrator of the trailer mention that "...the bravest among us were spared, sent beyond the reach of time, where we remained...", at which point one clip of Louisoix is shortly followed by a clip of an adventurer vanishing from the battlefield. This suggests Louisoix will deliver the adventurers forward in time beyond Dalamud's fall, which explains why the landscape will be different.
