Prompto Argentum is one of the main characters of Final Fantasy XV. While the player controls Noctis during the game, Prompto can be controlled in combat after unlocking the ability to play as him in the Ascension Grid.

When the game begins, Prompto (along with Gladio and Ignis) are accompanying Noctis on his journey to marry Lady Lunafreya Nox Fleuret in Altissia as part of the treaty Lucis agreed to with Niflheim. The Empire of Niflheim ends up attacking Insomnia shortly after the groups leaves Insomina. Noctis’s father King Regis Lucis Caelum is killed in the attack along with Gladio’s father Claurus Amicitia. Noctis and Lunafreya are also said to have perished in the attack as well.

Nothing is ever said of Prompto’s foster family or any of Ignis’s relatives surviving the attack on Insomnia (or if they were even in the city when it was attacked)

With the wedding called off now due to the attack and Noctis’s Kingdom in ruins, the player then sets off in the game to take back Insomnia and put an end to the Empire’s destruction once and for all.

While we were introduced to the characters in Brotherhood and the Episode Duscae demo, the main game is where we really get to learn about the characters and get to know them better.

Prompto comes off at first as the comedic relief. As the game goes on though and we learn more about his character, we learn how much depth he truly has and he is more then just the “happy go lucky joker”. Prompto keeps everyone’s spirits up despite his inner turmoils, often forgoing his own desires to keep everyone else happy. Despite having no obligation to remain with the group after the attack on Insomnia (Prompto did not grow up training like Gladio and Ignis did) he remains by their sides seeing Noct’s journey through to the end.

After the main game ends Gladio, Ignis, and Prompto go on to help rebuild, carrying Noct’s memory with them.
