This name is given to the ghosts who temporarily join
the party in the Phantom Train. The ghost can possess
people, but leaves the party when it does, and you'll have
to find another one! (NOTE: This is also Terra's
identification before the player gives her a name.)
(Aliases: Banon (NA), Bannan (JP)) The leader of
the Returners is surprisingly weak in battle, but he's got
some nice healing powers. He's very intelligent and
kind-hearted, and sees Terra as more than just a tool to
use agains the Empire.
(Aliases: Baram (NA), Billy (JP)) Clyde's former
ally, he was struck down in battle. He begged Clyde to end
his pain, but Clyde ran away. Ever since, Clyde, a.k.a.
Shadow, has been haunted by dreams of his deceased
compatriot.
A pure knight who defected from the Empire to join the
Returners. Celes' beauty is astonishing for a warrior, and
Locke is infatuated with her when he decides to rescue her
from the Empire's hands. She has a very good heart and will
take the right path no matter what the consequences. (See
also Jobs:Celes)
The brains behind the Magicite operation, he works
wonders for the Empire before realizing just what they're
planning on doing with it. After meeting Locke and the
gang, he quits his day job and joins the Returners. He's
known Celes since she was a child and sees her as a
daughter or granddaughter.
This was Shadow's previous identity - an infamous thief
with his friend Baram, who was wounded in a battle. His
cowardice prevented him from cutting Baram's suffering
short. He staggered to Thamasa, where he met Strago's
daughter, Relm. Secretly, Relm was his daughter, but he
never lets her know this. (See also Shadow)
(Aliases: Cyan (NA), Cayenne (JP)) A throwback
from another era, Cyan speaks and acts like a knight out of
Victorian times. His ancient talk and practices throw some
people off sometimes. Retainer to the king of Doma, he was
forced to watch as Kefka poisoned his king, and his wife
and child. Burning with vengeance, he vows to avenge their
deaths. His prudent values sometimes turn out to be a bit
embarrassing for him. (See also Jobs:Samurai)
(Aliases: Daryl (NA), Darill (NA)) Setzer's
former love was an airship connoisseur. However, her spunk
and need for challenge drove her a little too far and she
crashed. She was buried along with the remains of her
airship in a tomb near Kohlingen.
The martial arts guru and master, Sabin trained under
him for 10 years. He intended his son Vargas to succeed
him, but Vargas didn't know that... Duncan faked his death,
but reappeared a year later.
The youthful king of Figaro has a way with tools and
machines, and thinks he has a way with women as well. It
does seem to work on some people, despite the chagrin of
the ladies who actually know him. Sabin's brother chose his
destiny with reluctance; he never really wanted to be a
king, but he turned out to be a good one. (See also
Jobs:Edgar)
A wild boy living off the Veldt, he helps out Sabin and
friends only when they give him some meat. Very
unpredictable and extremely uncouth, Gau is nevertheless a
breath of fresh air. Although he's only 13, he's very
bright and has some pretty nasty moves in battle. I think
he's called Gau because of the sound he makes when he's
excited. (See also Jobs:Blue Mage)
(Aliases: Gerad (NA), Geof (JP), Jeff (JP)) This
is the name Edgar went under while he took over a band of
thieves. Gerad is just an anagram of "Edgar". (See
Edgar)
(Aliases: Gestahl (NA), Gastra (JP)) The
decrepit Emperor, he dreams of taking over the world, but
his general Kefka kind of upends the plan, and incidentally
the Emperor. This guy isn't someone you want to get a
summons from.
Gogo is kind of an intentional enigma. He's a
Mime, meaning he repeats
the last action in battle, and wears colorful rags, with
his face hidden in his robes. He lives in surroundings
even stranger than himself: the insides of a giant Sand
Worm-like creature called the Zone Eater. (See also
Characters:FF5,
Jobs:Mime)
A monster, so called because of its tendency to hide
deep within Ebot's Rock. Strago and Gungho fought this
monster in their youth but never subdued it.
(Aliases: Kefka (NA), Cefca (JP)) Possibly the most
popular character in the entire series, this guy's got a
plethora of complexes and one-liners which put even the
most aspiring mad dictator to shame. Some of those
complexes involve wearing fluorescent clothes and feathers,
laughing maniacally, running away from battles he can't
win, and destroying the known world.
(Aliases: Laura (NA), Lola (JP)) A girl from
Maranda whose boyfriend died from his war wounds in Mobliz.
The boyfriend sent her letters regularly, and when he died
Cyan took over his job to keep Laura happy and hopeful.
The good guy from the Empire, he sincerely wants to get
the war over with with a minimum of bloodshed, and tries to
negotiate peace with any enemies he gets. He'd succeed,
too... that is, if Kefka didn't get in his way poisoning
people. Kefka eventually interferes in a terminal way.
(Aliases: Locke (NA), Lock (JP)) He prefers
"treasure hunter" over "thief", but he doesn't do too much
hunting, unless it's in other people's pockets and drawers.
Featuring a bandanna and heroic streak, Locke always comes
to the rescue when someone's in trouble - if he's not being
seasick, that is. He has pretty good morals for a thief,
and a strong sense of purpose. His carefree demeanor hides
an old pain - that of his girlfriend Rachel's death by
accident at his hands. (See also Jobs:Thief)
(Aliases: Madonna (NA), Madoriene (JP), Madeline
(JP)) The human who falls into the Esper world
eventually falls for Maduin as well. Their child is Terra,
but Madaline is killed by Gestahl and Terra is taken from
her when he invades the Esper world.
(Aliases: Maduin (NA), Madeen (JP)) An Esper
from their world, he falls for Madonna when she breaks in
by accident. He was Terra's father, but he turned himself
into Magicite to help the cause of the Returners. (See also
Summon:Madeen)
The lovable Moogle has become almost an FF trademark.
We don't know much about him besides his cool dances and
the fact that he shows up when least expected. (See also
Jobs:Geomancer)
A group of Moogles who help Locke fight the Narshe
guards. They all look and fight alike, but their names are
Kuku (NA) / Kumog (JP), Kumama (NA) / Mogchi (NA), Kupek
(NA) / Moglin (JP), Kupan (NA) / Mogpu (JP), Kupop (NA) /
Mogshin (JP), Kurin (NA) / Mogpon (JP), Kuru (NA) / Mogtan
(JP), Kushin (NA) / Mogul (JP), Kushu (NA) / Morl (JP),
Kutan (NA) / Mugmug (JP), Kamog (NA) / Zumomog (JP)
Opera Impresario
The frenetic owner of the Opera House wants the show to
go on no matter what! When an elaborate plan to get ahold
of Setzer through the diva Maria hatches in front of his
nose, it's almost too much for him to handle.
(Aliases: Owain (NA), Shun (JP)) Cyan's son, who
was murdered by Kefka along with the rest of Doma. Cyan
vows revenge for the loss of his family and joins the
Returners.
Locke's former love was almost ready to marry him when
a blunder by him caused her to fall to her death. He's
never forgiven himself, and he searches the world for
something to bring her back.
The Esper of Thunder makes an appearance in FF6 as a
wise old man. He recounts the story of Terra to Locke and
company, and urges them to free the other Espers, before
turning into Magicite himself. (See also Summon:Ramuh)
The lovable granddaughter of Strago, she fights with a
magical paintbrush which turns the paintings to life! She
has a mischievous tendency to always get into the thick of
things, even when she ends up being in way too much danger
for what it's worth. Evidence points to her being Shadow's
daughter; she's the only one who can stand his dog,
Interceptor. (See also Jobs:Beastmaster)
(Aliases: Sabin (NA), Mash (JP)) When his
father, the king of Figaro, died, Sabin ran away to become
a martial artist. He studied under the great Duncan for ten
years, becoming quite a powerhouse. Driven by his hatred
for the Empire, he longs for the day when he can pay them
back. Sabin has a tendency to rampage through a situation
and not think about the consequences. He also has a large
appetite. (See also Jobs:Monk)
A high-flying gambler who's always in for a challenge,
Setzer ends up helping the Returners almost by default.
He's very cool and calm, but hides a tragic past: the only
other airship in the world was owned by his girlfriend
Daryl, who tried going too close to the sun and crashed.
He's been brooding and vague ever since, and drowns his
woes in gambling (he has an entire casino aboard his
airship). (See also Ex-Crossover:Kingdom Hearts 2,
Jobs:Gambler)
A mysterious assassin who nevertheless seems to like
helping out the Returners, provided they have enough cash.
His semi-rabid dog Interceptor is always with him, but not
too many people can get close to the mutt... besides Relm,
who thinks he's a cute puppy. Evidence points to Shadow,
a.k.a. Clyde, being Relm's father... (See also Jobs:Ninja)
(Aliases: Ziegfried) The pompous swordsman who
thinks he's all that, he's really nothing more than a thief
who lets other people do the work. However, once you meet
him in the Coliseum, he's apparently honed his skills to
perfection. According to him, the one who dogged you until
then was an impostor.
(Aliases: Strago (NA), Stragus (JP)) A codgy old
sorceror who lives in a town of magicians and tries to hide
his powers from the world. He nevertheless joins up when a
series of events near his hometown throw him into the thick
of things. He can talk your ear off, but his knowledge of
things magical is unsurpassed. Relm is his granddaughter
and lives with him in Thamasa. (See also Jobs:Blue Mage)
(Aliases: Terra (NA), Tina (JP)) The sad-faced,
blue-haired heroine of 6 starts out with amnesia and it
doesn't get much better after that. The daughter of an
Esper and a human, she's inexorably trapped in her destiny
to save the Espers from being turned into so much glowing
rock. Her youth and memory loss mean that she has a lot of
harsh lessons to learn along the way. (See also Jobs:Terra)
The master of the Phantom Train knows his job and
sticks to it. He can't let the whole thing go to pot just
because some live people have gotten on by accident, can
he?
(Aliases: Ultros (NA), Orthros (JP)) This guy's
almost as screwed up as Kefka. A purple octopus with an
attitude, he interferes in nasty ways throughout the game,
once turning up with his fiery buddy Chupon as well. After
seeing the world explode, he ends up working as a
secretary. How's that for poetic justice?
A large yeti whose vocabulary falls somewhere in the
double digits, he's very big, very strong, and very slow.
Apparently his race has an inbred subservience to moogles.
Go figure. (See also Jobs:Berserker)
Duncan's son and Mr. Jealousy. He thought Sabin was
Duncan's intended successor, and so he makes the biggest
(and last) mistake of his life in challenging Sabin to a
death duel.
He used to be the gatekeeper in Esperville; after Terra
called the Espers out, he led the remnants to a magical
place near Thamasa. He was willing to come to peace terms
with humans, but Kefka once again strikes and Yura becomes
nothing more than Magicite.
