Summary
Kukuro Hipuro is a freshly retired Sultansworn with two decades of service to the Sultanate behind him, though still available to the Crown should he be called upon. In the wake of his final two years the corruption his station explicitly prevented him from removing was the first pebble to the landslide that would culminate into the foundation of The Sentinels of Sand. A secretive Free Company he stands with proudly, in the name of solving the issues of the world that the law cannot reach.
RP Hooks
A Familiar Face - Two decades in Silver serving his country will get him seen in the Streets of Ul'dah often enough, in the upper districts of the city and Chamber of Rule more so. Maybe hes assisted you in the past, or maybe hes assisted someone else because of you.
Peculiar Shield - In Eorzea proper, a real piece of Magitek is both hard to come by, and typically equally frowned upon by the more common folk. And yet here this old soldier is, commonly seen toting around a bulwark with subtle glowing lights crested into its front plate, and some vents on the underside in service of some unknown machination.
Brother's in Arms - Those who've served with the Sultansworn themselves, or even the neighboring military force as an Immortal Flame for long enough would find themselves in possession of some few details about Kukuro less known to the public- and by design no doubt. Things like his formerly more brutal past in Riot Control, his previously far more emotive demeanor prior to the Seventh Calamity, or maybe even his relation to Sworn Myles Hipuro, his adopted son, a relationship that is kept quieter so none may loft a claim of nepotism the hyur's way.
Local Entrepreneur - While Kukuro may be seen travelling about often enough in all manner of directions, what kind of business he gets up to beyond his more publicly known enterprise in the form of an Adventuring Goods store, The Sundries of Sand, is mystery to most. Though, not something a keen eye or eared competitor couldn't find out. Most notably, the Chocobo Ranch in Western Thanalan that quietly had its ownership passed to him under foggy circumstances, or that whatever it is he gets up to in his free time takes him to Vesper Bay's ferry to Vylbrand often enough.
Notable Lineage - Any private inquiry into Kukuro's past would yield a few curiosities prior to his comparatively tame time in service. Born to a mother of noble Ul'dahn blood and the sole inheritor to likely a sizable fortune, Kukuro's choice to pursue service instead of commerce like his progenitress seems unexplained. His father has far less information within Thanalan's possible records, beyond being a Plainsfolk not local to the desert, and having died of old age some four years ago now. Roughly around that time his mother had retired as well, and has been missing since, though nobody close seems all too worried about it.
