He is also the son of Zonpa - Zippa , inventor of the Cardian s and the former Manustery minister , and the brother of current Manustery Minister Apururu . As a child , he was ambitious and arrogant , a self - proclaimed " Child Genius " , often getting into trouble during the war and getting carted back to his studies by his teacher , Koru - Moru . He was present at the battle of Windurst and he witnessed the summoning of Fenrir by Karaha - Baruha . As an adult , he is always getting himself and the adventurer into trouble as his antics are thoroughly explored throughout the Windurst missions . Although labeled as unpredictable and a rogue , he cares deeply about Windurst and its future . Story . A great deal of the Windurst storyline revolves around Ajido - Marujido ' s attempts to restore the Horutoto Ruins , which were damaged after the summoning of Fenrir during the war . This frequently leads to him running afoul of Semih Lafihna , Sibyl Guard Captain . After the player is tasked by the Optistery to recover the stolen " Book of the Gods " from Nanaa Mihgo , Ajido was shocked to discover the book ' s pages were blank and deprived of power . He then confronted the Yagudo king about the damage to Sarutabaruta , who denied responsibility and implicated the summoning of Fenrir as the cause . Eventually , after tasking the player to reactivate the ruins , Ajido arrived at the Full Moon Fountain to discover it was dark and empty . At that point , Semih Lafihna appeared under orders of the Star Sybil to arrest him . He was imprisoned in the " dark dungeon " ( where mages are incarcerated ) , and the player was required to participate in the Balga ' s Contest in exchange for pardon . While Ajido was imprisoned , the player was tasked by Optistery Minister Tosuka - Porika in investigating why the Book of the Gods became blank , and was able to get it temporarily recharged after encountering Grav ' iton at the Temple of Uggalipeh . The player would soon be tasked by Apururu and Shantotto in helping them release Ajido from prison . Shortly thereafter , the bearer of darkness appeared in Heavens Tower and the Star Sybil disappeared . To make matters worse , the Yagudo were threatening to start another war over the reactivation of the Horutoto Ruins . With Ajido the only one who could use the Book of the Gods , he was authorized to use Karuha - Baruha ' s Animastery laboratory . Thereafter , Apururu discovered a letter revealing their father is apparently still alive but imprisoned in the Boyahda Tree . He revealed that Karuha - Baruha bound himself to the " Joker " Cardian , and is spiritually tied to him . However , half of Karuha / Fenrir was congealed into the mysterious " bearer of darkness , " and the player needed to retrieve Kuluu verses in order to draw him to Full Moon Fountain . The bearer took control of the Ace Cardians who had to be subdued , and then summoned two beasts that the player and Ajido - Marujido had to defeat in the last battle . With Fenrir restored , the Star Sybil was once more able to once more perform a Moon Reading ceremony and wish for the Windurst to be protected . With the Federation under the blessing of Fenrir , the Yagudo quickly called off their war plans . Battle . Ajido - Marujido can be fought as part of the Hero ' s Combat special event .
