Clive Rosfield
The main protagonist of Final Fantasy XVI is Clive Rosfield, the firstborn son of the Archduke of Rosaria. He is a master of the blade who can learn abilities from encounters with Eikons—powerful beings capable of great destruction.
Clive spent his youth at the Rosalith Castle alongside his younger brother, Joshua Rosfield, the ward of their household, Jill Warrick, and his loyal companion, Torgal, where they developed strong bonds. In Rosaria, all expected Clive to be next in line to inherit the first Eikon of Fire, the Phoenix. However, Joshua awakens as the Dominant of Phoenix shortly after being born, motivating Clive to find a new way to serve Rosaria. He dedicates himself to a warrior's path, where he masters the sword and wins the ducal tournament at age fifteen—granting him the rank of First Shield of Rosaria. As First Shield, he is blessed with the ability to wield a portion of the Phoenix's flames and serves as its protector.
During what comes to be known as the Night of Flames, imperial forces attack Clive and his family at the Phoenix Gate, causing the Phoenix to run rampant. Suddenly, the mysterious infernal Eikon named Ifrit appears, and a fiery battle rages between the two Eikons, forever changing Clive's fate.
About a decade later, Clive sets out on a quest for revenge taking him on a perilous journey across Valisthea, where he will encounter many characters along the way, such as new and old friends, allies, companions, and dangerous adversaries who wield the power of Eikons.
