Kaqool Ja is a non-playable character in Final Fantasy XIV. He appears during the Physical Ranged DPS role quests in the Dawntrail expansion.
History[]
Kaqool Ja was approached by Chalteaufite, who told him that the cost of a ship back to Tural was enough to buy a mansion in Eorzea, and said that if the mercenary served him loyally, Chalteaufite would cover all the costs of his journey home. Without many options, Kaqool Ja accepted and began helping with the Chalteaufite's attacks on merchant caravans.[1]
As Chalteaufite's gang attacked a merchant and his escort, the Warrior of Light arrived to help the victims. Chalteaufite used the Steelhog Vessel's power on Kaqool Ja and ordered him to deal with the Warrior of Light. Just as Kaqool Ja drew his axe, Ceetol Ja arrived on the scene. Upon seeing a compatriot, Kaqool Ja refused to fight and put away his weapon. Ceetol Ja asked Chalteaufite to return the treasure he had stolen from her village, but Chalteaufite refused, saying that only he would know how to harness the Vessel's power. While Chalteaufite and his henchmen fled, Ceetol Ja took the wounded to Rhalgr's Reach.[2]
After a member of Chalteaufite's gang who had been captured was freed, he went to their lair and met up with Chalteaufite, who scolded the bandit for going straight to their lair with the possibility of being followed. While they were talking, Kaqool Ja discovered that Ceetol Ja and the Warrior of Light were listening in and confronted them. Chalteaufite used the power of the vessel on Kaqool Ja while he and the others escaped. After Chalteaufite disappeared from sight, Kaqool Ja put away his axe. Kaqool Ja asked Ceetol Ja to return to Tural as he didn't want to hurt a fellow Turali, and left the scene.[3]
Eventually the Warrior of Light and Ceetol Ja locate Kaqool Ja. Ceetol Ja presented him with a traditional incense burner of the same scent commonly used by her people, which would hopefully remind Kaqool Ja of his homeland. Kaqool Ja revealed that his main reason for helping Chalteaufite was to earn enough money for the ferry crossing back to Tural, which Chalteaufite had told him cost an exorbitant amount. When Ceetol Ja informed him that this was far from the truth, Kaqool Ja realized that he had been tricked into helping a criminal and decided to confront Chalteaufite himself.[1]
Chalteaufite made a speech to his subordinates saying that after looting the goods and spreading chaos in Ala Mhigo, he had invested the funds in restoring and upgrading discarded magitek weaponry. Now Chalteaufite could start the next part of his plan and take control of Ala Mhigo. The speech was interrupted by Kaqool Ja who had found out about Chalteaufite's lies and demanded that he hand over the Vessel. Chalteaufite declared that Kaqool Ja was a traitor and used the power of the Vessel on his subordinates to confront Kaqool Ja. Kaqool Ja was defeated and left on the ground, sympathizers of Avenel and Pepin who were abandoning Chalteaufite showed up to rescue and tend to Kaqool Ja's wounds. Eventually Kaqool Ja told Warrior of Light how he had failed in his attempt to confront Chalteaufite. Kaqool Ja said that Chalteaufite's plan was to conquer Ala Mhigo, with the palace as the most likely first target.[4]
Avenel and Pepin have escaped from Chalteaufite, and they reveal that Chalteaufite has already left to conquer the Royal Palace of Ala Mhigo. Taking advantage of the fact that Chalteaufite's weaponry couldn't get past the staircase, The Warrior of Light, Ceetol Ja, and Kaqool Ja managed to reach the Royal Palace before Chalteaufite's gang had begun their invasion. Remembering that "Cracks form in even the most powerful shields", the Warrior of Light was able to break through the artifact barrier and defeat Chalteaufite. Ceetol Ja then recovered the Steelhog Vessel and used its power to knock out Chalteaufite. After the battle, Kaqool Ja revealed that he wanted to turn himself in to the authorities to pay for his crimes. Kaqool Ja also wishes to one day apologize to the members of Ceetol Ja's village for the damage he caused by using the artifact, should he have the opportunity to visit. Ceetol Ja herself welcomes the idea, but for now, there are more immediate concerns, such as returning to Tuliyollal.[5]
