History

Final Fantasy XIV (version 1.0)

Colbernoux in version 1.0.

Once the adventurer joined the Goldsmiths' Guild, Colbernoux taught them the tradition of jeweler to design and name pieces of jewelry with the name of the most beautiful and influential ladies in Ul'dah's illustrious history. Colbernoux was satisfied with the brooch that the adventurer made inspired by Z'ssapa and, Colbernoux said he would deliver the brooch to her as soon as they were reunited.

Colbernoux traveled to Gridania in search of a unique flower to make a new brooch known as "F'lhaminn's Flower" and asked the adventurer for help in collecting the described items. Once it was done, Colbernoux asked the adventurer to deliver the F'lhaminn's Flower he had repaired to F'lhaminn herself in his stead. Upon giving the requested brooch to F'lhaminn, she was dominated by the memories of Colbernoux and his older brother, Niellefresne. Through echo it was revealed that Colbernoux created the F'lhaminn's Flower using a pattern originally designed by his late brother, Niellefresne. He sought to bring the brooch to the world as his brother intended, but had brown to regret doing so, having lost its true significance in the doing.

Later, Colbernoux acquired what the adventurer found at Erralig's Burial Chamber within Arrzaneth Ossuary. Colbernoux showed the magically preserved corpse of his older brother, Niellefresne, and a revelation that the Heartstrike blade was capable of restoring life to the dead and for this reason it had been so well kept over the years. Ten years ago Niellefresne ran away with the Heartstrike and brought it to the Erralig's Burial Chamber, where he was attacked and murdered. The sleeping powers in Heartstrike formulated to pulse and since then Niellefresne's body had never deteriorated. Colbernoux's only wish was to send a soul from his brother to the kingdom of Thal, where he could find peace. However, he did not know how.

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward

Colbernoux was Serendipity's master. The music box he created and dedicated to the Songstress of Ul'dah was considered his masterpiece and one of the greatest achievements of goldsmithing. These days, Colbernoux wandered the realm, devoting his efforts to the creation of musical devices. At Serendipity's request, he returned to the goldsmiths' guild to assist with a music box that was commissioned. Serendipity introduced Colbernoux to the Warrior of Light, to whom Colbernoux agreed to share his wisdom regarding music boxes. Colbernoux said that the material─hardsilver─from which Warrior of Light intended to fashion the teeth of music box was the same that he used to create his greatest masterpiece so many years ago.

Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood

Colbernoux says farewell to his brother.

With the help of Severian Lyctor, the Warrior of Light destroyed the remaining enchantments on Heartstrike, allowing Nielle's soul to depart, and giving F'lhaminn and her friends the chance to say their farewells. Although Colbernoux does not interfere, he witnesses the scene from afar and finally says farewell to his brother.
