In the years prior to his defection from the Garlean army, Rabrandt had heard the legends of assassins who formed contracts with the creatures of the void. They were a mainstay in bedtime stories and fairy tales meant to frighten young children. In exchange for power, they vowed to carve a bloody path, feeding their demonic, voidsent partners.
Like many among his fellow conscripts and enlistees, from nations subjugated by the empire, he dismissed them as nothing more than fantasy. It wasn't until he met one such practitioner of the art, long after he had begun his new career as an adventurer in Eorzea, that he realized his error. Though, unlike the fearsome assassins he had read and heard about, this warrior dedicated herself solely to protecting her fellow Garlean refugees in a land otherwise foreign to them.
As one such refugee himself, fleeing the state of Garlemald after losing his homeland of Bozja, he couldn't help but sympathize with their plight. In that moment of mutual understanding, they made a pact of their own. In exchange for his help, she would teach him the blasphemous arts that kept her own people safe from harm.
Fearsome and bloody though the art may be, it is ultimately up to the wielder to decide what mark that power will make upon the world. As a worldly man, experienced in numerous disciplines, he knew this better than anyone.
Thus, on this day, he took up the scythe, and a new Reaper was born.
Thanks to LittleBadWolf for this amazing YCH. It's been some time since I gave old Rabrandt some love, and this was the perfect opportunity.

Superb work indeed. RPR is such an awesome job and the lore and such is just so cool. :D
Sweet. I love MNK and DNC myself, but healing's really truly my thing overall, that or tanking. :3
DNC is another one of my favorites, as its Red Mage.
