Sicinius mal Vellutus

Race: Garlean

Age: 42

Birthplace: Garlemald, Garlean Empire


ガレマール帝国・超越技術研究所にて魔導技師長アウルス・マル・アシナに師事し、研究員として活動していた。アラミゴ陥落と共に超越技術研究所は解体され、その研究データは帝都ガレマルドへと送られた。シシニアスにも帝都への帰還命令が下るが、もともと古代アラグ帝国が残した遺物や失われた技術を研究対象としていたことから第IV軍団へ転属を願い出た。第IV軍団が以前から「聖遺物」と呼ばれる古代文明の秘宝を収集しているとの噂を耳にしており、さらに帰還命令と同時に第IV軍団からの誘いがあったためである。軍団長ガブラスと聖遺物探索の責任者であるメネニウスはシシニアスの才を認め、またシシニアスもガブラスの思想に感銘を受け忠誠を誓う。シシニアスは第IV軍団の魔導技師長に就任した。

現在はダルマスカ南のバルナード海に浮かぶリドルアナ大灯台から回収した古代兵器や機構の復活を目的に研究を続けている。すでに「労働」シリーズについてはそのメカニズムの調査を終え、新たな魔導兵器として実戦投入できるところまで準備を進めた。シシニアスはそれら新兵器の実戦投入にあたり、そのデータを集めるために南方ボズヤ戦線に赴いた。研究室に篭もるただの学者ではなく、そのデータを自らの目と耳、手で集めるのは師匠譲りといったところか……。

Senior Engineer of the IVth Imperial Legion's magitek detachment, Sicinius honed his skills as a researcher at the Resonatorium in the service of Lord Aulus mal Asina. When the facility was decommissioned after the fall of Ala Mhigo and the findings of its team transmitted to Garlemald, the accomplished Sicinius received orders to return to the imperial capital. He rebuffed his superiors' advances, however, and instead requested a transfer to the IVth Legion, which he knew to be in pursuit─and if the rumors were true, already in possession─of lost reliquaries and forbidden knowledge of ancient Allag. The IVth, for their part, having heard whispers of Sicinius's consummate aptitude as a magitek engineer, had extended an invitation for him to join their ranks, making the two a natural fit. Upon joining the legion, his talents were quickly recognized by Legatus Gabranth and his second-in-command and leader of the archaeological expedition, Menenius rem Lanatus. Profoundly moved by Gabranth's vision for a new nation, Sicinius swore an oath of loyalty, and was thus rewarded with his current position of senior engineer.

In recent days, he continues his research with yet greater zeal, in hopes of restoring ancient warmachina and other technology recovered from the Ridorana Lighthouse, which stands in the Valnard Sea in the southern reaches of Dalmasca. Sicinius began his experimentation with the so-called laborer-class models, and it is believed the project has progressed to a point where he is looking to deploy these new machines on the field of battle. Indeed, it is said that he has volunteered to depart for the front lines of the war against the Bozjan Resistance, hoping to collect data on the potency of his latest toys firsthand─a trait doubtless inherited from his esteemed former master...
