Lambard Calowise

Lambard Calowise also known as Lambard the Regal, is the main antagonist in the 50–60 Red Mage Quests in Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood. Lambard serves the Garlean Empire as an assassin.
==History==
===Early life===
When he was younger, he assisted X'rhun Tia in reviving the lost art of red magic and traveled to their known locations such as the Zigguarat.
Interested in more power, Lambard was fond of the mages of mhach art of voidsent summoning, and sought to seek out their power in forbidden red mage teachings. Lambard had discovered an Ishgardian book titled "Nightkin", a book with the information on how to make pacts with voidsent and infuse themselves with their blood. 
During the climax of the Ala Mhigan Revolution, Lambard betrayed the crimson duelists and slaughtered the entire order and became an assassin for Zenos yae Galvus. After betraying his order, he went into an arcane slumber to restructure his body.
Between joining the Garleans and going into slumber, he trained Lovro Slanasch to be a red mage.
===Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood===
Lambard returned to Eorzea, kidnapping people to mindlessly serve him using a brand that slowly whittled away at their mind until they became loyal followers. Knowing that a girl known as Arya's family line was from the Calowise family, he had her kidnapped and her uncle killed. Him and his crew set themselves up at Aleport. Hot on his trail, the Warrior of Light and X'hrun Tia, tracked him down at the Isles of Umbra. Gloating about how he relished the slaughter of the Crimson Duelists, he planned on killing the two there, only to be interrupted by Arya and flees.
Lambard was ordered by the empire to destabilize Garlond Ironworks by killing senior officers, namely Jessie Jaye in Mor Dhona. Lambard and his followers ambushed "Jessie" before she reached the airship, only to find he had been fooled. X'hrun confronted him and Lambard unleashed his true power. The two dueled and Lambard suffered a major wound, noting that X'hrun was always the greater fighter, but told him that a scratch was all he needed and sucked the life force from X'hrun, significantly wounding him. The Warrior of Light and Arya protected X'hrun before he killed him, and the three dueled. Defeating Lambard and his followers, X'hrun thanked them and approached Lambard, gloating about the twisted turn of fate that will befell them and mentioned Arya as an example. Arya staggered, and told the group that she was fine and that she was just weary from battle. Lambard said he would miss her suffering and passed away.
