Asahi Brutus

Asahi sas Brutus is a non-player character from Final Fantasy XIV. He is a tribunus, and an ambassador of the Garlean Empire, and the adoptive brother of Yotsuyu goe Brutus.

Upon his initial introduction, Asahi presents himself as kind-hearted and understanding, wishing to broker peace between Garlemald and Doma as the Empire's voice. Being of Doman blood, he is appalled at the destruction left in his stepsister's wake when he sees the ruins and disarray his home village was left in under her rule. During a battle with the Red Kojin, he shields Isse and Azami from their attacks.

Once left alone with the Warrior of Light, Asahi reveals his true colors as a spiteful man seeking to avenge Zenos yae Galvus's defeat. Asahi's admiration of Zenos crosses into obsession, proclaiming none alive loves him more. This fueled his jealousy towards his sister whom Zenos gave more power. Asahi is conniving and scheming, not above sacrificing his own parents to get what he wants. Despite being an influential voice in the Populares, he does not believe in any of their ideals. Asahi uses his position as Ambassador to antagonize the Warrior to cause an international incident to violate the treaty between Garlemald and Doma.
