Kleon

Kleon is a non-player character in Final Fantasy XIV. He appeared during sidequests in Elpis.
== History ==
Concerned that the concepts he had registered with the Bureau of the Architect were not suitable for release into the wild, Kleon pays a visit to Elpis. On the way to Poieten Oikos, he is attacked by a creation. He is rescued by the Warrior of Light who escorts him to meet Maira. Impressed by the Warrior of Light during the rescue, Kleon insists that the Warrior of Light join them in the evaluation.
Kleon explained that he was worried about the fate of his creations. Maira suggests they go and talk to Alkaios, who was in charge of looking after a concept named "batrachoi". The party finds Alkaios with the batrachoi, but he is pessimistic about the creature's final assessment. Although designed to act as a guardian of the streams, the lack of response to his deliberate provocation revealed the batrachoi's extreme docility. Kleon is devastated at the thought of having to abandon his beloved concept, but a suggestion from the Warrior of Light to launch an aggressive attack on the creature may have saved it from being retired altogether.
Kleon talks about another concept that should be evaluated named "io". The party accompanies Alkaios to the place where the io is normally found, but the creature is nowhere to be found. At Maira's suggestion, they split up to track down the concept. On finding the creature, Kleon shares his plans for the creature's place in the world. Unfortunately, however, Alkaios is forced to point out that although the beast is physically powerful, it doesn't possess the characteristics needed to become a dominant hunter. Noting the io's tendency towards nutritional deficiency, he asks that the concept be changed from a predator to a herbivore.
Disappointed that his favorite creation seems destined to become prey, Kleon asks Warrior of Light for suggestions on how to turn it into a predator. After Warrior of Light observes the flaws and possible improvements before making his report to his anxious creator. Kleon rushes off to make adjustments. When Kleon returns with his new and improved io, a beast that is given the title "behemoth". Satisfied that his creation now qualifies as a dominant form of wildlife, Kleon leaves the party while he returns to Amaurot to start work on his next concept. Both Alkaios and Maira thank the Warrior of Light for his help.
