History
Born in N.D. 1957, Teodoro is well-read in Yulia Jue's Score and monitors the Qliphoth, which exists beneath the Outer Lands of Auldrant. He is familiar with Auldrant's history as well and serves as the only individual holding power in the Qliphoth, as Yulia City is its only settlement, having been built with a technology that protects it from the deadly miasma. When Tear and Luke fon Fabre meet with Teodoro in Yulia City after the destruction of Akzeriuth, he informs them that the collapse of Akzeriuth was written in the Score, just as Hod was.

Teodoro then justifies that Akzeriuth and Hod had simply been allowed to be destroyed in order to fulfill the Score and bring prosperity to Auldrant. He explains that a new war between Malkuth and Kimlasca is also written in the Score, which is why Grand Maestro Mohs is attempting to start one. When Luke asks about the possibility of St. Binah falling, Teodoro states that it is impossible since the Score does not mention it, but that the battle of the Rugnica Plains is to take place around the city. He then suggests they use Yulia Road to return to the Outer Lands. Teodoro later cooperates with the other world leaders to lower the Outer Lands into the Qliphoth.
