Bartz Klauser [HERO]

Hailing from the town of Lix, Bartz is the son of Dorgann and Stella Klauser. Dorgann was a Warrior of the Dawn, and Bartz has been chosen as one of the four Crystal Warriors. He's an easygoing guy with an unfortunate fear of heights, and a propensity to get crushes on any female he meets.

Cid Previa

A mechanical genius, Cid was the one who built Karnak's Fire Ship. Because the Crystal began to fail, they locked him up. Bartz (who was locked up in an adjacent cell) escaped with his help. Later, Cid and his grandson Mid (who followed in his footsteps) take up residence in a Ranka ruin called the Airship Base; they were the brains who got the Airship up and running.

Dorgann Klauser

(Alias: Drogan (PSX)) Bartz's father was originally one of the Four Warriors of the Dawn. He insisted that they take Exdeath back to the Second World instead of sealing him on the First World, but was overruled.

Exdeath [VILLAIN]

(Alias: X-Death (PSX)) Originally a malevolent tree born from the Great Forest of Moore, Exdeath lives to nullify. His ultimate scheme is to suck everything in the world into a power called the "Void" and then disappear himself. Why? Who the hell knows? He makes a cool villain, though. His sidekick (at least until he exiles him) is Gilgamesh.

Expand Images

Faris Scherwiz [HERO]

The leader of a ragtag band of pirates was originally a princess. Her sister was Lenna and her father was King Tycoon. However, she was lost at sea, and the pirates found her. Her real name is Sarisa (GBA) / Salsa (PSX), but she could only say "Farifa" (or possibly "Farfa") as a baby so the pirates called her Faris. She became close friends with a thunder dragon named Hydra. She met her sister when they were both chosen as Crystal Warriors.

Galuf Halm Baldesion [HERO]

An old man who arrives in a meteor with total amnesia. As it later turns out, he comes from the Second World and is a king there (although he prefers to dismiss the formalities of the position).

Garula

A woolly mammoth who lives in Walse, Garula's really just a child. Exdeath controls him to break the Water Crystal.

Gilgamesh [VILLAIN]

One of the coolest villains around, Gilgamesh is the only sidekick to have his own sidekick! Enkidu the flying menace helps him out from time to time. He also has his own theme music. He's mostly there for comic relief, but you can steal Genji equipment from him. At one point he tries using a sword he THINKS is Excalibur against you; it's really called Excalipoor and does single-digit damage. He's dressed in a wild-colored red robe thingy; he later morphs into a many-armed Kali-like menace. He's got a good heart, though - after Exdeath exiles him to the Interdimensional Rift, he begins to like Bartz and company. (See also Summon:FF8, Character:FF9)

Expand Images

Gogo

Gogo's kind of an intentional enigma. He's a Mimic: he repeats everything others do. He wears flashy clothes and his face is hidden in his robes. Defeating him yields the Mimic job. He lives underwater in the fallen Walse Tower. (See also Characters:FF6)

Lenna Charlotte Tycoon [HERO]

(Aliases: Reina (PSX)) The princess of Tycoon has an adventurous spirit, but her kindness and devotion is unsurpassed by any.
