If you own this character account, and do not want to share the data, you can change private settings on Lodestone, and a private flag will be applied on next update, preventing any further updates, hiding all details of the profile and applying noindex tag to the page. Visiting the page every 24 hours can help prioritize the update, but generally it happens within minutes. Once it's applied, you will see appropriate message. Note, that you may need to force-refresh the page (clear browser cache) to see the change. This also does not imply instant removal of the page from Google search results, and link to profile may still be present on groups' pages (same as with Lodestone).

Last interview was conducted on .
This is what adventurer had to say during it:
Bran Quirke was born in a little town in La Noscea near Moraby; his father was a fisherman by trade, and his mother worked as a chef in the Bismarck. He grew up a normal and happy youth, obsessed with faerie tales and the heroes within them -- and when he was sixteen, he took off on an adventure with sword and shield in hand, determined to be just like those heroes (specifically, his idol, Cecil of the Tale of the Paladin). He tripped into a ditch on his first attempts, and there met the woman who would become his best friend, J’nomhe Vhen, a Miqo’te archer and conjurer, who decided to stick to conjury to keep her best friend’s ass out of the fire. They ended up in Ul’dah two years later, witnessing a meteor shower that led them to meet Thancred, F’lhaminn, and Ascilia, and then become Walkers of the Path and later heroes, fighting at Carteneau and defeating Nael van Darnus. It was at Carteneau that they were flung into the rift, returning to Eozea five years later...and malms apart, J’nomhe missing while Bran woke up in Thanalan, realizing not only had everyone save Minfilia forgotten him, but his home and his parents had been completely wiped out in the Calamity.
Nonetheless, Bran fought on as a Warrior, through the Praetorium and everyone remembering, through ARR and all those he lost along the way -- G’raha, Moenbryda, Wilred, and all the others. Bit by bit, though, his cheerful and idealistic optimism began to crack, the greatest of these when he was nearly bitten in half by Vishap when the young paladin --- still only eighteen -- planted himself in front of the gates of the Steps and refused to move. And then the banquet happened, and it was in a fog he went to Ishgard, in a fog he wandered off to trip over a black job crystal, and he does not remember how he ended up in the Western Highlands, but he did, and after a conversation with himself, his soul broke in half, the half that was sweet, idealistic paladin Bran falling asleep, while the other half -- ‘Esteem’, some would call it, his darkside -- took over the role of Bran Quirke.
( The story differs here: in the universe where he is a solo Warrior, Haurchefant calls him just in time to prevent him from bailing, but in the universe where there is more than one Warrior, he runs away and leaves right then and there, working as a mercenary in the Forelands until 3.1, when a fellow Warrior talks him into coming back. )
Either way, he does eventually return to being a Warrior, despite the losses that keep piling up, and eventually even his darkside chooses to keep fighting -- it’s better to try than to do nothing at all, even if your hands are black with the blood of your failures and you can’t save anyone you want to save. Slowly Bran rebuilt the shattered pieces of his sense of self, and the slow, small steps towards making a difference helped him a great deal, as did facing and dealing with Myste during SB.
