I suppose I should grant you all a proper introduction.

I am Altani Khatayin, of the Khatayin Tribe of the Xaela of the Azim Steppe.
I grew up hunting goats in the mountains. Several years ago I was struck with a wanderlust I could not explain, and I left the Steppe to seek adventure. (Do not worry, I told my family and friends that I was leaving.) Each year, during the time of year when my people come down from the mountains to enjoy the fruits of the hunt, I go back to my homeland to be with them.

My wanderings brought me to Kugane, where I stayed a while, and from there I sailed to Eorzea. I sought there the Lancer's Guild in Gridania. There, I studied the ways of the lance. With time and dedication, I like to think I became one of the most accomplished dragoons of our time.

Some have called me "stubborn" and "bullheaded". Some have said "fearsome" and "awe-inspiring". They are not wrong. I do not give down in a fight unless there is none of me left to fight with.

I do not have a reputation for being a people person. I hope to get better at that.
