Khalid Radja's Biography

Khalid is born to a union of an Azim Steppe Khagan (and the Khatun of the Oronir tribe) of the time, — Borchu, and the only daughter of the main branch of the Radja family that has chosen a life of a warlord, — Frada.

Many seas over, Khalid's maternal uncle dies at sea while returning from a diplomatic mission yo Ishgard. The surviving members of the crew report an attack perpetuated by a therefore unseen beast that has torn the merchant ships apart.

Khalid gains a mocking moniker,— "the Undying", due to his luck in surviving many assassination attempts as a child.

In an attempt to gain recognition in the tribe, Khalid sneaks into the Bardam's Mettle and, unable to defeat the yol and passing the trials due to wit and not strength, ends up stealing a discarded egg from the nest.

His actions are discovered when the egg hatches and he is no longer able to hide it. 

It is decided to send him away from the tribe in punishment. He travels to Radz-At-Han for his exile, bearing his mother's letter in his hands and stories of her homeland in his heart.

Khalid is officially adopted into the Radja family, but is not shown to the public for the duration of the next year. 

In absence any other children remaining to inherit the family's assets and position, Khalid's grandfather declares Khalid his successor. The decision is met with scrutiny and suspicion due to his uncertain origins. However, the issue of lacking an heir is thus solved.

Khalid is enrolled into an institution of high learning at Sharlayan through Radz-At-Han's treaty with the isolationist state. To fit with the local customs and due to a clerical error, he takes on the alias of C'laude Rahna.

Alerted by his grandfather's declining health, Khalid comes back to Radz-At-Han. By the end of the year, due to the position being unfavorable in the political climate at the time as well as a moral failure of the previous envoy, Khalid is appointed on a mission to Ishgard.

Dalamud Falls. Ishgard isolates. C'laude  works to reestablish the trade routes from Sharlayan and Thavnair and bargains for additional provisions from beyond the realm under the table. It remains a drop in the ocean in face of the agricultural crisis faced by Ishgard. 

Founded.

With the embargo lifted on travel and trade from Ishgard, Verdant Wind Mercantile Company's freight and operations expands into Erozea in full.
