History & Lore
Background
Wedge is a Lalafell of Plainsfolk heritage, a clan known for their adaptability and widespread presence across Eorzea. At twenty-two, he is relatively young even by the standards of his adventurous peers, yet he has found himself embedded within two of the more technically ambitious groups operating in the realm.
Affiliation with Garlond Ironworks
Wedge holds a position within the Garlond Ironworks, the engineering firm founded by the brilliant machinist Cid nan Garlond. The Ironworks is responsible for some of the most advanced technological developments available to the people of Eorzea, and membership within it speaks to a degree of mechanical aptitude and dedication.
Working alongside the Ironworks places Wedge in proximity to cutting-edge magitek research and the broader effort to harness technology for the benefit of the realm rather than for conquest or destruction.
Involvement with NOAH
Beyond his role at the Ironworks, Wedge is also connected to NOAH, an expedition dedicated to investigating the ruins and remnants of the ancient Allagan Empire. This association draws him into some of the more perilous and historically significant undertakings in the game's narrative.
The dual membership in both the Ironworks and NOAH suggests that Wedge occupies a role bridging practical engineering work with field research, contributing his skills wherever they are needed most.
Personality
Though the available records on Wedge are limited, his continued involvement with demanding organizations like the Garlond Ironworks and NOAH implies a character defined by reliability and a willingness to take on challenging work. His youth does not appear to diminish his commitment to the tasks set before him.
Relationships
Wedge's closest associations are naturally shaped by his organizational ties. His connection to the Garlond Ironworks places him within a circle of engineers and adventurers who share a common purpose, while his work with NOAH links him to scholars and explorers probing the mysteries of Allag. These relationships define much of his role within the broader world of Final Fantasy XIV.
