Triton

Consul T, better known as Triton is a Hero in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. He is the Consul of Colony 15 as well as its commander.

Appearance and personality
As with all Consuls, Triton wears the red armor and black cape albeit with a jabot-like decoration on the chest. His helmet resembles a captain's hat. Underneath the helmet, Triton has silver hair tied in a ponytail, a bushy beard, and red eyes. It is unknown what his Moebius form looks like as he forgot how to transform.

Triton is a man of the sea, and regularly and loudly proclaims it. Unlike other Moebius, he is friendly and carefree, even to the party who are Ouroboros. He is willing to go against Moebius's goals such as requesting the party to destroy Colony 15's Flame Clock despite being a Moebius himself. He is even willing to oppose Z as seen during the final battle.

Doing it My Way
In the Quest Doing it My Way, Triton first encounters the party after they followed his Ferronis to Colony 15. He greets them, much to the party's surprise, asking them out to eat together. Triton reveals in addition to being the Colony's Consul, he is also its commander. Lanz in particular is most hostile to him. After the eat out, Triton forces the party to partake in "Men of the Sea: Triton's Triple Challenge". His lieutenant Api explains the rules: The party must travel to three islands around the Colony's vicinity for each challenge.

The first challenge is at Ishan Isle, hosted by Ronja. This challenge "Men of the Sea: The Brawny Deep" consists of defeating four Gyaarks around the island. The party defeats more Gyaarks than Triton, much to his dismay before he directs the party to Daedal Isle for the next challenge.

The second challenge: "Men of the Sea: Booty Calls" which is hosted by Lhukavu consists of finding the most valuable treasure on the island. The party then discusses the contents before collecting a Yum-Yum Coconut, an Ancient Taos Fossil, and a Millennial Tree Amber. While the party chooses one of the aforementioned collectibles, Triton choses a large coconut, but still loses, but refuses to accept defeat until Lhukavu telling him that accepting defeat is part of being a Man of the Sea. Triton the directs the part to Cape Arcaphor for the final challenge.

The third and final challenge consists of defeating a Archaphor Gogol in which the party defeats first. Annoyed by his antics, the party decides to return to Colony 15

After returning however, Lanz is sucker punched by Triton, as part of "Man of the Sea: Triton's Triple Challenge: Part Four" before challenging the party to a battle with his crew, aggravating Lanz and Taion even further, despite this, Triton and his crew are bested by the party.

After being defeated, he reveals he had no ill will, before he requests the party to destroy Colony 15's Flame Clock. He then removes his helmet and watch Noah and Mio destroy the Flame Clock. After its destruction, Triton reveals that even as Moebius he couldn't destroy it, and reveals his tale about life and death and his days as a Moebius before joining the party as a Hero, but not before he notifies Colony 15's inhabitants of the Flame Clock's destruction.

Other appearances
Triton is required to be in the party for the quest, A Young Noble's Request.

Triton can be among the recruited Heroes to aid the party in the final battle against Z, declaring that this is his final battle, and that he wanted to make it a battle for the ages as he is summoned. After Z's defeat, Triton's fate is unknown as he is not seen among the other Heroes as Aionios splits back into the two worlds it was created from.

As an NPC
After the quest, A Young Noble's Request, Triton can be found at the City when not engaged as a Hero.
