This title is awarded to those Grand Company members who have displayed exceptional performance in service of the Immortal Flames. It is hoped that recognizing outstanding individuals in this manner will not only improve company morale, but also provide further motivation for all who fight under the Traders' scales.
* Players whose names are displayed under "Last Week's Heroes" and "Yesterday's Heroes" will not reappear in the same list for a certain duration, regardless of total company seals accumulated, in order to better recognize the efforts of a wider range of individuals.
Using winnings amassed during his reign as gladiator champion, Raubahn Aldynn, the "Bull of Ala Mhigo," purchased the Coliseum in Ul'dah, and by doing so earned himself a place amongst the infamous Syndicate. However, unlike other Syndicate members who, blinded by their wealth, fancy themselves the true leaders of the city-state, Raubahn has remained faithful to the sultanate's nobility, openly pledging his allegiance to the sultana. This is why, after a long hiatus, the ever-popular warrior has returned to aid the young ruler in readying the city-state for the dark days he believes are near.
Realizing that he will more than likely receive little cooperation from his fellow Syndicate members—as ever too occupied with their in-fighting to see that which truly threatens Ul'dah—Raubahn seeks the revival of the Immortal Flames, which under his lead will help protect the sultana and her nation, while sating his thirst for revenge on the Garlean Empire.
Motto: The line between victory and defeat is drawn by the swift and trod by the dead.
Weapons: Tizona─a cursed blade taken from the hands of a former rival after defeating him on the bloodsands.

Pretext for War?
In recent days, the Immortal Flames’ manpower appears to be stretched quite thin. The bulk of the Grand Company’s strength has left Ul’dah, and the defense of the sultanate has been entrusted wholly to the Brass Blades.
Moreover, Lominsan warships have been sighted at Vesper Bay, unloading Maelstrom troops. Even now, soldiers emblazoned in the colors of the Order of the Twin Adder continue to stream forth from the Black Shroud. Based on these developments, I can only conclude that the three Grand Companies are amassing their forces in Western Thanalan.
In response to inquiries from The Mythril Eye, Grand Flame Marshal Eline Roaille* provided this written statement:
“The Grand Companies of Eorzea are staging joint military exercises to commemorate the revival of the three-nation alliance.”
However, even a cursory estimation of expenditures by the Immortal Flames casts doubt on this official explanation. The Grand Company’s recent acquisitions go far beyond what is necessary for field exercises, yet are approximately the quantities one would expect prior to a full-scale campaign.
Furthermore, the Free Brigade of foreign adventurers has been summoned to participate in these exercises alongside the main host. Indeed, I think it past doubt that the Immortal Flames are poised for total war.
Our sources within the military caravans report that light infantry units have already been dispatched to the Carteneau Flats, along the outskirts of Mor Dhona. Yet this region, while rumored to be occupied by the VIIth Imperial Legion, is a vast plain with minimal strategic value, which begs the question: why contest such territory?
While much about the situation remains unclear, it is certain that the battle to come will have a lasting impact upon the future of Eorzea. May Nald’thal smile favorably upon our valiant defenders and guide them to victory.
