In accordance with the lore in ff14, besides being cool as heck, what is he?

Huyr? Roegadyn? A primal with the power to drain aether from gold instead of everything else? Besides stating his love for coin and being a powerful warrior, there isn't really much to him or his doggo is there?

Could be wrong. Maybe there's been some texts I've missed. Anyone know? I'd like to know more about him.
