Prince's Best Friend

Background

The common-born best friend of Prince Noctis, Prompto makes up for his lack of royal prestige or combat prowess with his upbeat personality, lifting his comrades' spirits when the going gets tough.

Though raised a Lucian, he was in fact born in the lands of an enemy: the Niflheim Empire. He lived his life in fear that his friends would discover this fact and turn their backs on him.

During their journey, Prompto and his companions fell victim to a vicious plot crafted by Ardyn, the imperial chancellor. Fooled by an illusion into thinking Prompto was his foe, Noctis attacked his friend, and in the confusion Prompto was separated from the party. Convinced that his long-kept secret had been revealed and their friendship had turned to hate, Prompto wandered despondent until he was captured and imprisoned in a Niflheim laboratory where he learned a shocking truth.

Prompto is passionate about photography and has a large collection of snapshots from his journeys.
