Melee DD — Thief
Aldo is the leader of the Tenshodo, a shadowy underground guild based in Jeuno's Lower level. Despite running what amounts to a black market operation, Aldo is a principled man with a tragic past connected to the Crystal War. He plays a significant role in the Zilart storyline and is closely connected to Lion. Behind his calm exterior lies a skilled fighter who learned to survive in Jeuno's underworld.

Aldo is a straightforward melee DD trust with Thief abilities. His Sneak Attack gives him occasional big damage spikes, and Bully helps with accuracy. He works best when something else is holding the enemy's attention (a tank trust), since Sneak Attack requires him to be behind the target. A reliable mid-tier damage dealer for general content.
