I'll admit I haven't really developed his backstory that far back yet, but it was my intention for Arlon's family to stick to the Rhotano Sea, which by the map appears to border Thanalan as well. I remember the intro saying Limsa was once run by pirates, but then Merlwyb shaped it up, so I think the former pirate haven would be a good starting point for the Sterling legacy.

I'm rather curious to see how he feels deep-down about working for the people that effectively murdered his "family" in that pirate crew of his, and how he remains working so vigilantly for them besides. The coin-flip and sticking to it also gave me a strong Figaro brothers vibe from FF6, which is always a good thing for me.

Yeah, he's quite salty (hehehehe) about that, but as a man whose word is ironclad he dutifully serves. Over time he'll probably come to enjoy the company, but for now the only thing he'll show them is respect, and nothing else. As far as the Figaro brothers go, all I have to say is that I'm a master of making references to things I don't even know about. Also, the Sterling Seal is a proper heads/tails coin.
