Godbert Manderville is a master goldsmith, he had recently acquired a seat on this Syndicate. He is the father of Hildibrand Manderville and husband to Julyan Manderville. He is best described by his son to have an aura of murderous rage, displaying superhuman strength and speed on occasion. The only person fears is his wife Julyan. His appearance is in contrast to the sort of man he actually is—in truth, Godbert is kind, polite, and civic-minded realizing that the foundation of wealth is built on the prosperity and happiness of an entire community, not just a few. Thus he supports the Starlight Celebration with funding (albeit anonymously) and is a large part of the reason he runs the Manderville Gold Saucer—his goal is to bring joy and contentment to the realm as much as it is to attain financial success. While he's often nearly as much of a comedic stooge as his son, he does not share his son's lack of skill in his chosen profession. While the results are perhaps not always what a client may have had in mind, Godbert's skill at goldsmithing is prodigious and he is described as being the finest goldsmith in Eorzea, beyond even Gerolt, which has formed the backbone of his family's modern fortune.
