History[]
Zirnberk after his victory against Ultros.
Zirnberk triumphed against Ultros in the Celestium, making his Masked Carnivale debut. Afterward he challenged Martyn to a duel. Following the bout, he was introduced by his father, and met those of the Blue Mage Guild with a proper greeting. His father revealed how the Masked Carnivale would show the skills of the Stone Torches and bring in fresh recruits and gil, saying blue magic was a bunch of parlor tricks and brushed it off.
Zirnberk along with his father and another Stone Torch were in the mines using voidsent to quell the hecatoncheir uprising and a few escaped aboveground. The three gave chase only to find that those from the Blue Mage Guild had slayed the beasts. After Fyrgeiss was questioned by Martyn and Royse, he stated that the colosseum was his, especially with how much he invested in it, and threatened to drive the guild and Royse out of Eorzea. Martyn made a wager on Royse's behalf that if he won against Zirnberk, the Celestium and the beasts in its employ would stay with Royse, and if he lost, all of the Celestium's assets would go to Fyrgeiss.
Zirnberk in his magitek upgraded Siegfried armor.
As the fight with Martyn began, Zirnberk revealed to everyone present a full armament change, being outfitted with garlean magitek and an arm cannon. As the fight began, Martyn bombarded him with some of his most powerful spells, knocking Zirnberk to his feet only to see that his enemy was an illusion. Zirnberk appeared behind him and shot his arm cannon at Martyn only for it to be blocked by Mighty Guard. After another six blasts from his cannon, Martyn fell to his feet and told him to surrender. After a Self Destruct from Martyn failed to defeat Zirnberk, he realized that it was only his magitek armor that saved him and for the sake of his honor requested a rematch against the Azuro the Second as Martyn was too injured to continue.
Zirnberk was defeated and admitted to losing fair and square, and his father agreed to the terms within the wager.
During the Final Days, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn members sent out a call to their allies for assistance in obtaining the material needed for completing the starship Ragnarok, which could be found within the fragments of Dalamud. Zirnberk led the Stone Torches in obtaining it from the fragments in Thanalan.
