History[]

Final Fantasy XIV (version 1.0)[]

Hyllfyr had been a rival of Bloefhis Bloefhiswyn, the penultimate captain of the League of Lost Bastards, and for many years, the two were locked in a struggle for the upper hand.^[1]

With the competition known as the Trident approaching, which would decide who would take the position of Admiral of Limsa Lominsa, Rostnsthal stole a Kraken's Arms register. Hyllfyr ordered his men to bring Rostnsthal to him, but the only one found was the adventurer who had just become Rostnsthal's first mate. Hyllfyr was irritated and shouted an order for his men to do what they wanted with the adventurer before leaving the place. Later, the adventurer had a rematch against Moenskaet and handed over the stolen Kraken register to the Bloody Executioners.^[2] Eventually, the chair of admiral passed to Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, the current leader of the League of Lost Bastards.

Since the establishment of the Maelstrom, Hyllfyr had openly refused to cooperate with Admiral Merlwyb when she outlawed piracy, going so far as to unite rebel crews to overthrow the Admiral. Due to the threats to the Admiral's life, an officer of the Maelstrom, Malin, planned to assassinate Hyllfyr, and to this end forged a secret meeting between Merlwyb and Hyllfyr aboard the Braveheart, a Barracuda ship. The plan did not go as expected, and a bloody battle took place on the galleys with Hyllfyr and Merlwyb being the only survivors of the massacre. Hyllfyr surrendered and accepted the government of the Admiral. This battle was masked as a shipwreck, and Hyllfyr signed Merlwyb's Galadion Accord.^[3]

The Executioners remained a powerful presence, having secured a privateering license from the Admiral to raid Garlean vessels. Hyllfyr himself had stepped aside due to his age, and rumors began to swirl that he was stricken by an ailment of the lungs. With his retreat, several pirates fought to succeed him.^[1]

His warship, the Astalicia, had served as a gathering place for brigands, cutthroats, and the purveyors of sundry other breeds of villainy. It was the place where the city-state's many pirate crews found new recruits to join their ranks.^[4] His vessel had not weighed anchor in some time. Nonetheless, such was his fearsome reputation that all Lominsan pirates kept watch for Hyllfyr's reappearance.^[1]
