A Wildwood Elezen who left Clan Nazou's estate to pursue a career in engineering at Ishgard's Skysteel Manufactory. He is the eleventh character recruited into the party, joining in Endwalker Patch 6.4. Numair is the co-developer of Machinist arms, and also is the first to successfully analyze and reverse-engineer the inner workings of the Illuminati Goblin-made Cruise Chaser.
Introduced in "Headshots and Headfire" during Shadowbringers postgame, Numair is Kiros' Machinist job trainer, as Stephanivien is occupied with a number of urgent confidential tasks. Befriending the man who claims to have come from another world, Numair and his new friend investigate rumors of Castrum Meridianum suddenly becoming active despite having been abandoned a few years ago after Operation Archon.
Numair is the eleventh character recruited into the party, joining during Patch 6.4 (though prior to it, he is Kiros' Machinist job trainer in "Headshots and Headfire" and "Here Be Lions"). His main job is Machinist, but as Hikaru already has access to the job through Aurica, Numair instead shares the use of Longshot, a Machinist-exclusive gap closer action. He comes with the Ishgard-1 Cycler and additionally brings multiple aetherotransformer packs with him.
In place of an Automaton Queen, Numair uses a modified EDD drone similar to the add from the initial Cruise Chaser encounter during the Alexander raids. He is able to deploy a Medic Drone that generates a low-potency heal-over-time effect for anyone standing nearby. In Dawntrail's Origenics dungeon, Numair creates Lasher Burst, a magic-oriented counterpart to Drill, as a result of integrating Vanguard hardware into the Cycler.
When recruited in 6.4, Numair also has Bard, White Mage and Red Mage available to use, though all story scenes assume he is participating as a Machinist. His version of White Mage uses Far Eastern visuals, but otherwise brings nothing unique in terms of functionality.
In Patch 7.2, after completing the Cruiserweight tier of the Arcadion, Numair acquires the Sage job after reflecting upon his feelings of burnout and discontent towards healing. No longer feeling like he has to excel at conjury for purposes of appeasing others, he gives soumanoutics a try and discovers it is a much better fit for him. As a Sage, he excels at critical healing, which pairs well with his Exuberance trait.
His initial Limit Break is Eternal Darkness, which entails summoning Cruise Chaser and commanding it to use its signature attack. If used at Rank 3, Cruise Chaser additionally fires a charged laser blast. Eternal Darkness has the same range as a Rank 3 Caster Limit Break but deals physical damage instead, and is the replacement of Machinist's Satellite Beam. Eternal Darkness is not usable during certain duties where Cruise Chaser is unavailable or otherwise unable to be summoned.
Numair's second Limit Break is Headfire Special, which he uses for the first time during Vanguard in Dawntrail. It entails the temporary conversion of his Machinist multitool into a fiery cannon, dealing extreme fire cannon to all enemies in a line.
His Sage Limit Break is Palingenesis, acquired along with the job in Patch 7.2. It entails the use of his Medic Drone, infusing it with a massive burst of aether to fully heal the party. Palingenesis is the replacement of Sage's Techne Makre.
