(Aliases: Borghen (NA), Borgen (JP)) A
quirky-looking defector to the Palamecia Empire, who
oversees the building of the Warship in Bafsk. He confronts
the heroes in the Snow Cave.
The creator and owner of the world's only airship lives
in Poft. He gives rides for overblown charges. Much later
in the game, after an attack by Palamecia's Whirlwind, he
gives the airplane to the heroes with his last breath.
A general of Palamecia's army, he starts his road to
the top by overseeing the building of the Empire's airship
in Bafsk after Borghen is defeated; after that, he claims
the throne once Emperor Palamecia has been killed once.
However, who would ever guess that the true identity of the
Dark Knight is (gasp!) Leon! (See also Leon, Jobs:Dark Knight)
The cowardly prince of Kas'ion helps out from time to
time, especially when his new girlfriend Queen Hilda (who
used to date his brother Scott) is in danger. However, he's
not much of a fighter. Scott was killed by the Palamecia
Empire and he vows to get revenge however he can - although
his lack of bravery unfortunately stops him from doing it
in conventional ways. (See also Jobs:Knight)
(Aliases: Guy (NES NA), Gus (PSX)) The large
buddy of Firion, Maria, and Leon. A bit slower on the
uptake (and speaks like a caveman), but that's about it. He
can apparently also talk to beavers. (See also Jobs:Monk)
The princess of Fynn - soon to be queen of Fynn when
her ailing father dies - has relocated to Altair due to the
pressures of the Palamecia Empire. Even her boyfriend
Scott, prince of Kas'ion, can't do much to stem the tide -
till the four heroes come! Scott dies early in the game and
the role of boyfriend is (get this) taken over by his
brother Gordon.
A stalwart miner from Salamand knows the secret to
obtaining the Goddess Bell, needed to enter Kas'ion Castle.
His bravery proves so great that it is his own demise. His
daughter Nellie lives with him in Salamand. (See also
Jobs:Monk)
Son of the widow Elina. His father was killed when the
Empire raided Castle Deist. He exists in the NES version
but only named in DoS. (See also Characters:FF4)
(Aliases: Leila (NES NA), Layla (NA), Reila
(JP)) A pirate queen who lures the heroes on her ship
with a promise to take them to Deist; however, she sics her
buddies on them halfway through. They forgive her and she
joins them; her speed and tact is useful in battle. She
also lends them her ship, which is even more useful. She's
very shrewd and can see through many illusions, both normal
and magical. (See also Jobs:Leila)
(Aliases: Leon (NA), Lionheart (JP), Leonheart
(JP)) Maria's lanky brother is the fourth and basically
strongest of the four warriors. At the very beginning of
the game, he's lost to the world, only to resurface as
Palamecia's Dark Knight! After the spell on him is broken,
he proves to be a valiant member of the team, but can never
forgive himself for what he did while under Palamecia's
control. (See also Dark
Knight, Jobs:Dark
Knight))
(DoS only) The light side of Emperor Palamecia.
After the Emperor was killed by Firion and his allies, he
split into a Light Half and a Dark Half. The Dark Half fell
into Hell, where he gained his power and became ruler of
Pandaemonium, while the Light Half ascended to Arubboth,
Palace of the Heavens, and became its ruler. He brought
Minwu, Ricard, Josef, and Scott to the Heavens to ask for
forgiveness from them for his Dark Half's actions.
(Aliases: Ming-wu (JP NES), Mindu (PSX), Minh
(JP)) A powerful sorcerer who works for Princess/Queen
Hilda. He also tags along with the heroes for a bit to get
some Mithril out of the Semitt Falls. He's the only one who
can unlock the seal around the strongest magic spell ever,
Ultima... but it's too much for even him. (See also
Jobs:White
Mage)
(Aliases: Molly (PSX)) Josef's daughter is
captured with Pavel and sent to work in the mithril mine in
Semitt Falls. She's overjoyed to be rescued by them, but
later is devastated by the news of her father's death in
the Snow Cave.
(Aliases: Palamecia (NA), Paramecia (NA), Paramekia
(JP), Dark Emperor) Ah yes, the evil of evils, head of
the super-evil empire. At first it seems like he wants to
rule the world, but no! Of course he'll eventually want to
destroy it. He signed a pact with Satan to allow him to
come back after he's killed. In the JP-only novelization of
the game, the Emperor is given the name Mateus.
(Aliases: Paul (NA), Pavel (PSX)) A ninja who
can sneak in and out of anywhere, Pavel helps the team a
few times throughout their journey, in thanks for rescuing
him from the mithril mine of Semitt Falls. He never does
any fighting, however.
(Aliases: Ricard Highwind (NA), Richard Highwind (JP
NES), Gareth (PSX)) The last surviving Dragoon has been
swallowed by Leviathan, the guardian of the Ultima spell.
He joins with the heroes when they share the same fate, and
together they manage to escape. He's a stolid ally, but
gives his life in a battle with Palamecia to allow the
others to escape. He's the only one who can control the
Wind Drake. (See also Jobs:Dragoon)
The elder brother of Scott and prince of Kas'ion. He
was to declare his undying love for Princess Hilda of Fynn,
but an attack by the Palamecia Empire fatally wounded him.
His love is carried on by his brother, though. In Dawn of
Souls, he can join the party in the Soul of Rebirth quest,
but must be built from the ground up. His skills in white
and black magic resemble a Red Mage.
