EX 1 Onward to the Disc
EX 3 Onward to the Disc

The chancellor of Niflheim in the faraway world of Eos who controls all mayhem from behind the scenes. It is impossible to ascertain his birthplace from his appearance, and with an aloof attitude and joking tone, he has others eating out of the palm of his hand. After usurping the Crystal from the capital, he hid his social status and often appeared in front of Noctis and the others by "coincidence." Hiding his true motive behind a friendly demeanor, he shrewdly guided Noctis and the others through some witty conversation.

Background Story[]

NV The chancellor of Niflheim in the faraway world of Eos who controls all mayhem from behind the scenes. It is impossible to ascertain his birthplace from his appearance, and with an aloof attitude and joking tone, he has others eating out of the palm of his hand. After usurping the Crystal from the capital, he hid his social status and often appeared in front of Noctis and the others by "coincidence." Hiding his true motive behind a friendly demeanor, he shrewdly guided Noctis and the others through some witty conversation.

Fusion[]

NV I'm immortal. Such is my blessing and curse.

Awakening[]

Summon[]

NV I'm Ardyn Izunia. A man of no consequence. We might as well be friends, huh?

Trust Mastery[]

Simply sit back and enjoy the ride.
You needn't worry: you're in good hands with me.
