Final Fantasy

Leo wears a green military coat with yellow trim and pauldrons and a high collar. The coat is closed from the left side and held with a yellow and orange belt with a red orb seeming to function as the buckle. He wears matching pants and brown boots, the latter of which are adorned with the same type of red orb as is on his belt. Leo has dark brown eyes and blonde hair cut in a flat top style. Leo's Super NES and Gameboy Advance sprites give him light green trim on his coat and blue pauldrons and boots.
In Leo's Super NES sprite, he has the same skin tone as most other human NPCs, but his portrait and concept art depict him with dark skin. This is likely due to technical limitations of the number of palettes player-characters can draw from and the limited number of colors they have. The 2014 mobile and Steam release, as well as the Pixel Remaster release, give Leo's sprite a darker tone, though not as dark as his portrait. All-spin off titles featuring Leo consistently depict him with dark skin, save for Final Fantasy Record Keeper which reuses Leo's SNES sprite.
Leo's personal weapon is a sword. In Final Fantasy VI he wields the Crystal Sword . His concept art does not give a full view of the sword, only the handle and end of the sheath; what can be made out is that the handle is blue ornamentation and the blade is curved.

Leo is an upstanding, honorable man. Imperial soldiers look up to him as an ideal warrior and are proud to serve under him. Among the Returners , Cyan and Sabin both respect Leo for his integrity even if he is their enemy. Leo refuses to storm Doma Castle , reasoning that even if the Empire would win such a direct attack, they would suffer heavy casualties and he does not want his men to die pointlessly. Though one of his officers informs Leo he is willing to die for the Empire, Leo gently reprimands him by reminding him of his family and that he should act like a human before a soldier.
Leo's code of honor shames him even for inaction; he apologizes to Cyan for not being at Doma to stop Kefka from poisoning the river and killing the castle's citizens, and he tells Terra that he knew she was being used as a biological weapon and did nothing, and for it he considers himself no better than Kefka. He consoles Terra over her hesitations about being able to feel love, and privately tells her he'd like to continue the conversation at a later time. Leo is devoutly loyal to Gestahl and the Empire, obeying orders without question or hesitation, and is polite in all his dealings, even with Kefka. It is only when Kefka tries to destroy the peaceful village of Thamasa that Leo finally turns on Kefka and tries to stop Kefka's atrocities.

In Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII , Fang still greatly cares about Vanille but seems to have become detached and resigned towards the world's condition and the new status quo.

Palom is a casual show-off, even to adults, and refers to himself as "The Mysidian Genius" or "Prodigy". This, combined with his inflated ego, causes him to get a little out of hand, leading to Porom having to settle him down, either with words or by smacking him on the head.
During The After Years , Palom has matured and at one point tells Leonora not to get too confident, as this is the point where people let their egos sink them.

Although Glaive accuses him of being Elgo in disguise, The Mask avoids the question when it is first raised. After traveling through the Lufenian Ruins , the group comes to a dead end and it seems like The Mask is turning against them.

Proud and patriotic, Vossler will defend Dalmasca no matter the cost. He can be harsh, telling Basch to leave the injured Reks behind as he would be a potential liability. Vossler stands for what he believes in and keeps a close ear to the ground, listening for anything that might be beneficial to the Resistance. Vossler's alliance rests with Dalmasca, which he seeks to have restored. The manga version elaborates on his paranoid side, showing Vossler struggling to trust his own men when faced with the possibility of a traitor among their ranks.


Final Fantasy

Ward is an extremely tall, burly, and intimidating man. When in the army he wears the standard Galbadian soldier's uniform. His casual attire consists of a blue bandana, white tank-top, green overalls and army boots. He sports a scar going across the left side of his face from an undisclosed injury, and has light facial stubble.

Underneath Ward's rough, intimidating exterior lies a wise, observant mind. Ward is a caring person who would help a friend whenever they need it, although this usually results in him being dragged along on one of Laguna's poorly thought-out schemes.


Final Fantasy

Y'jhimei has chin-length red hair and fluffy feline ears. She has golden eyes with narrow feline pupils and the facial markings of a Miqo'te. She has a fluffy red cat's tail. Y'jhimei dresses in a typical Eorzean manner, wearing a halter top, white sleeves with leather guards on her forearms and leather cuffs, a red miniskirt and a black leather belt, as well as thigh-high black socks and heeled leather boots. She has a small leather messenger bag and a large tome of a book, the Lominsan Officer's Grimoire of Casting , on her hip.
Y'jhimei hails from the same tribe as Y'shtola Rhul , the Jaguar tribe.

Y'jhimei is peppy and excitable, expressing many cat-like qualities, such as curiosity on various objects of interest. She feels responsible for the disaster befalling Eos if the Ixal she inadvertently brought to Eos will summon their primal and does all she can to prevent it from happening.


Final Fantasy

Y'shtola is a Miqo'te of the Seekers of the Sun with a light brown skin and brown facial markings, light teal eyes, and platinum blonde hair with two frontal pigtails tied with rings. She dresses in a white dalmatica with silver patterns and the mark of the Circle of Knowing on its left arm, blue trousers, and black ankle boots. She wears a visual device on her neck that allows her to analyze aetherial activity in the environment. She has the tattoo of an Archon on her neck. She wields a one-handed conjurer wand that resembles a tree branch.
In Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward , her eyes turn pale white as a consequence of using the forbidden spell, Flow,  rendering her physically blind. Y'shtola wears a new outfit provided by Tataru Taru , a long-sleeved white top with extended sides and back, short black shorts, black thigh-high boots, and a black bolero shrug over her shoulders. She wields the staff Truth Seeker. The player could unlock this outfit upon reaching Y'shtola level 80 in Avatar mode.
In Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers , Y'shtola delves into black magick and discards her white clothing in favor of black robes with gray fur, and flat-heeled boots. She wields a new cane called Nightseeker made from Deadwood.
In Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker , upon reaching Garlemald , Y'shtola will switch over to a Crystarium robe to stave off the cold.

Y'shtola is introduced as "Cultured Conjurer", a moniker that reflects her calm composure. She is a taciturn, well-spoken voice of reason even alongside her equally scholarly peers among the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, providing sharp, relevant insight that hardly ever strays from the matter at hand. This is in contrast to Thancred Waters, who frequently flings charismatic and flamboyant one-liners to be deflected by her stoicism.
Y'shtola's gall comes out when her patience has been tried, or as a counter to others' bold, irrelevant, or confrontational comments. She derives some of this audacity from her former master, Matoya, the two exchanging quips and subtle insults. Despite this, they care deeply for each other as Y'shtola holds her former master in the highest regard, and Y'shtola tries to avoid disrespecting her.
Y'shtola also is naturally cynical of people who hide the truth and their intentions. She quickly lost trust with the Crystal Exarch shortly after being summoned to the First due to his secretive nature, and attempted to avert the calamity her own way rather than cooperate with him. She only does so once more after the Warrior of Light arrived in the First.
Y'shtola has a cultured and refined diction which, although grounded enough to differentiate her from the theatrical likes of Urianger Augurelt, grants an air of wisdom to her. She is uninterested in romantic affairs, bluntly refusing the Oronir leader, Magnai Oronir , telling him to try again when he "becomes a man". During her time with the Night's Blessed, she has come to silently acknowledge Runar's slight feelings for her, though she knows she can't return them. Despite this, Y'shtola still considers Runar a good friend.
Y'shtola has a dry sense of humor, and oftentimes strikes back at the Warrior of Light when they reply her with a flirty or humorous dialogue choice. However, should the Warrior respond with a more serious and academic-minded response, Y'shtola quickly voices her approval.


Final Fantasy

In all his appearances and artwork Yang sports a blond mustache and shaven head save for his braided blond ponytail. In Final Fantasy IV and his Yoshitaka Amano artwork he is shirtless, with red wrist bands and pants tied at the ankle; a yellow sash around his waist, and flat brown shoes. He wears red earrings, and has a red tattoo on his left shoulder. In The After Years he retains the red pants, but now wears a red and purple sash over his left shoulder, and another tied to his left thigh. He wears white boots, and his hair and mustache are substantially longer.
Despite being a monk who fights with his fists, he is drawn with swords hanging from the belt in his Amano artwork.

Taciturn, humble and polite, yet fiercely protective, Yang dislikes hurting others or involving them in dangerous situations, but is always grateful for assistance. His high standing in Fabul means that he has garnered much respect, and the only person he appears to quail before the might of is his own wife. Yang copes with stressful situations by training himself and the other monks, though still cannot stop himself from rushing to Sheila's side as she gives birth.
During The After Years he initially refuses to train his daughter Ursula , believing she has no need to train for war. After witnessing her selfless protection of the monks accompanying her, he takes her on as a disciple, warning that she is just another student, not a daughter or a princess. According to Sheila, Yang admitted to her privately "How can I believe in my people's future if I cannot even believe in my own daughter?"


Final Fantasy

Zalbaag has short auburn hair with a full fringe, brown eyes and a goatee. He wears a black high-neck short jacket with golden seams and armbands. Underneath he wears a gray loose turtleneck with white pineapple design at the center of the linings, black pants and red and black boots with a large brown folded sleeves and white outlines. He wears long red gloves with golden outlines and a golden mantle with white curly designs.

Zalbaag is calm and serious and treats his younger half siblings, Ramza and Alma, kindly. He follows orders dutifully, even those considered amoral by others, and thus can be seen as a stoic person who feels little remorse or sympathy. He has faith in his elder brother, and defends him when Ramza questions Dycedarg's actions. When realizing the true extent of Dycedarg's corruption, however, Zalbaag becomes vengeful and filled with rage, sadness, and remorse.


Final Fantasy

King Tycoon wears long, flowing blue robes along with blue chest armor and pauldrons edged with gold. He wears a winged helmet reminiscent of a Dragoon's , with a visor that covers his eyes. His hair is covered, but his short beard and mustache are dark. One piece of Yoshitaka Amano art depicts him holding a spear or scepter, although he does not participate in battle during the game. King Tycoon is the only known "Highwind" in the series who isn't clearly a spear -wielding Dragoon.

King Tycoon is a dutiful man who puts the best interests of his kingdom and the world above his own needs and unhesitatingly risks his life to protect others. He passed on the values of devotion and self-sacrifice to his daughter, Lenna. [note 2] King Tycoon is a loving father although he can be stern. While he is an important character in the game, how he thinks and acts generally are unclear, as he is most often seen during crises and acting out of his control.


Final Fantasy

Cecil wears dark armor that covers his body and face while he is a Dark Knight (the 3D render shows his eyes). When he becomes a Paladin, Cecil wears a blue and white armor that reveals his appearance: shoulder-length white hair, blue eyes, pale skin, and a tinge of purple on his lips. Even though Fusoya claims Cecil resembles his father, Kluya , in his youth, it is stated Cecil greatly resembles his mother, Cecilia , even being named after her.
In Final Fantasy IV: The After Years , Cecil wears a suit of white armor, but with dark spikes on the knees and pauldrons, and a brown cloak with blue stripes around the neck.
Cecil is one of the few Final Fantasy characters who are mixed-race, along with Yuna , Golbez , Terra Branford , Aerith Gainsborough , Seymour Guado , Lilisette , and Hilda . Cecil is the first half-human main protagonist.

Cecil is a strong and gifted knight, gaining the respect and admiration of his men during his captaincy of the Red Wings . Although being raised by the King of Baron , Cecil is modest, shy, and insecure. He struggles with showing his emotions, and his meekness catches others off guard, ill-fitting his initial role as a Dark Knight. Cecil struggles with his sense of identity and morality; he comes to hate himself for blindly following his King's orders to the detriment of others, and promptly loses his sense of self as a result. By becoming a Paladin and bonding with others, he gains a semblance of who he is.
His most remarkable traits are his bravery and firm beliefs. Towards his friends, Cecil is loyal, self sacrificing and exceptionally forgiving, being able to forgive even those who betray him.
In Final Fantasy IV: The After Years , Cecil maintains the noble character of a Paladin, but as a Mysterious Girl appears, his mind and character change radically.


Final Fantasy

Edgar wears a light blue armored chestplate with gold detailing, matching shoulderpads and bracers, an attached collar and cape, and black sleeves. He has a white sash around his waist with a lavender belt, dark blue pants and white boots. In Edgar's in-game sprite in the SNES and GBA versions of Final Fantasy VI , he keeps this same basic design but with green accents on his chestplate and green boots. His iOS and Steam sprites retain a primarily blue with gold color scheme, but his boots are black and his cape is purple. In all versions and in concept art , Edgar has blond hair tied into a ponytail with two blue ribbons, and he has blue eyes.
Some of Edgar's concept art depict him with a dark brown chestpece and cape, a design feature retained in the Anthology release's FMV sequences. This may have been an influence on his disguise while operating under the alias "Gerad"; Edgar dons a palette swap of his usual clothes that turn his outfit dark blue, brown, and black.

Edgar's defining trait is that he fancies himself a ladies man. According to an attendant in Figaro Castle , he has even made passes at the castle's high priestess, and when first introduced to Terra and Celes , he flirts with them shortly after. He even promised a young girl in Figaro he'll marry her when she's older, and in some localizations of Final Fantasy VI he is implied to take an interest in Relm before learning her age. Edgar's flirtation rarely persists after initial meetings and he is otherwise chivalrous, lecturing other party members of acting "properly" around women. Locke and Sabin regularly mock Edgar for his antics or show exasperation over them.
Edgar is a courageous and patriotic man, devoutly loyal to Figaro and acting in its best interests. He can be manipulative and daring when required, most famously when he used a two-headed coin to rig a life-changing coin toss to result in Sabin's favor. After meeting with Kefka , Edgar had an escape plan ready should he attack Figaro, and he assumed the disguise "Gerad" to take command of a band of thieves that had escaped the buried Figaro Castle and convinced them to lead him back inside, a plot so he could repair the castle's engines and raise it to the surface again. In both instances, he shows no hesitation putting himself front and center of his plans.
While they have been estranged ten years, Edgar is still close to his brother Sabin, and is concerned for his safety. When the two take a moment to reflect on the time lost together since Sabin left Figaro, Edgar admires how strong Sabin has grown, and wonders if their late father would be proud of him.


Final Fantasy

Edge is a young, lean man, with short, slightly spiked silver hair and light-blue eyes. In Final Fantasy IV , Edge wears gray-blue and black armor with a gray cowl covering his mouth and a large gray cape. In Final Fantasy IV: The After Years Edge retains the cowl but has darker blue clothing with golden armor on the shoulders and waist, and has a wavier hairstyle. His cape is exchanged for what appears to be Rubicante's Cloak of Flame, depicted in Edge's artwork , and can be obtained for him as equipment in the game.

Edge is rude, hotheaded and stubborn, refusing to give up his pursuit of Rubicante and not backing down from the fight despite being outmatched. He is mean and obnoxious to the party at first, but comes to appreciate their help over time. He has an unrequited crush on Rydia and flirts with other women occasionally, remarking that Rydia and Rosa make "two babes in the party". He has a short temper and uses his rage as a source of power in his rematch with Rubicante, unlocking new Ninjutsu skills.
In Final Fantasy IV: The After Years Edge is matured, displeased with the Eblan Four 's insistence to train in peacetime and thinking life would be better without the arts of war Eblan prides itself on. He cares for the Eblan Four, tolerating them and teaching them to survive and value their lives in their missions. In contrast to their previously seen relationship, it is Edge who calms a panicking Seneschal, worried about his health at his age if he continues, and he leaves the kingdom in the Seneschal's hands when he leaves to investigate the Tower of Babil .


Final Fantasy

Galuf is the oldest party member and one of the first older male warrior characters in the Final Fantasy series, a role succeeded by characters like Cyan Garamonde and Auron in later games.
Galuf has auburn hair and a beard in his field sprite, and white hair and a mustache in his Yoshitaka Amano artwork and menu portrait. His Amano artwork depicts him keeping his white hair tied at the back. Galuf's clothing is yellow and green in his field sprite, but his Amano artwork portrays him with black clothes with golden ornaments and a red sash, along with a shield on his back. His CG render from the Anthology release follows this appearance.

Galuf's crystal represents hope, the essence of earth. [10] Galuf is indomitable, irreverent, and jovial. He frequently cracks jokes and makes bad puns, [18] often making light-hearted jabs at the expense of both himself [13] and the other Light Warriors. [11] Galuf is also normally brash and rarely sentimental, as seen when he light-heartedly berated the Light Warriors for following him to his world, before quietly admitting he was happy they had. [17] Galuf is broadly not overly proud, brushing off thanks [11] and downplaying his status as a king. [18] Much like the other Light Warriors, Galuf is courageous and impulsive, never stopping before acting.
Galuf's defining trait is his love of both his Light and Dawn Warrior companions, as well as his granddaughter. Galuf feels immense guilt at the sacrifices of the Dawn Warriors, showing great concern for Kelger overexerting himself, [19] and being immensely distressed by Xezat's sacrifice, refusing to accept Xezat's death at first. [22] Galuf's love of his companions continues to the Light Warriors when he fiercely defends them against Siren after knowing them a few hours, [11] forbids them from following him to his world out of concern they won't be able to return to theirs, [14] and then later calls off a siege and rushes into Castle Exdeath alone to save his companions. [16] It then leads to a sacrifice of his own, mirroring his Dawn Warrior companions; against Exdeath in the Forest of Moore, Galuf pushes himself far beyond his limits to battle Exdeath alone if it means saving the Light Warriors and his granddaughter, telling Exdeath he is driven by an emotion more powerful than hatred, implying his driving force was love. [23]
Krile, Galuf's granddaughter, is his pride and joy. Their relationship is similar to Relm and Strago's relationship in Final Fantasy VI ; as with them, Krile seems to look out for Galuf as much as he does for her.


Final Fantasy

Gilgamesh is a colossal warrior with dark skin and red facial tattoos or face paint. He wears his black hair in a ponytail, and his wounded left eye is always closed.

A red cape with a black underside hangs loosely over Gilgamesh's back; attached to it is an enormous red shield. Gilgamesh wields a massive red and black blade with a silver tip. In battle, he holds it over his shoulder and swings it effortlessly with one arm.
Gilgamesh has a second form, in which he trades his cape and shield for six additional arms. Covered in red and black armor, each arm holds one of the ultimate weapons available to the members of Class Zero .

Gilgamesh seeks a purpose, having forgotten his Focus , and he yearns to collect strong weapons. Suffering from amnesia , he wanders across Orience , challenging anyone he comes across to a duel.
Gilgamesh Ashur is inarticulate in comparison to his previous incarnations. Native Japanese speakers refer to his manner of speech as "samurai talk," crude use of the Japanese language, and can find his dialogue difficult to understand due to its ambiguous context and lack of certain particles.

In present time, his hair and beard have grown long and grayed. He wears a long red robe and a golden crown with red jewels.

Though a benevolent and kindhearted ruler for many years, even taking the orphaned Cecil and Kain under his wing, the King's demeanor has recently changed. He has ordered his people to do questionable things, such as stealing the Water Crystal from Mysidia . This change worries some of his inner circle, especially Kain and Cecil.


Final Fantasy

Noctis is a young man standing at 176 cm (5'9") with spiky black hair and blue eyes that can glow a bright magenta. He wears a black jacket that he keeps unzipped with skull-motif buttons (that have the text " Roen " on them ( ) ), zipper tag and sequin details on the pockets. The jacket has leopard print on the inside, which is not apparent on his in-game model. [5] Underneath, he wears a steel gray shirt with skull prints. He wears black cropped trousers and black buckled boots with red soles along with a black motorcycle glovelet on his left hand.
As a youth, Noctis had a delicate and boyish appearance with deep blue eyes and bangs. After suffering a grievous injury, Noctis sometimes used a wheelchair.
Ten years later Noctis's facial features have weathered and he has a beard. His jaw is more square-shaped, and his complexion is rough. He wears a more formal and sophisticated attire, befitting his regal standing: a black suit with gold jewelry accenting it, a black and gold pauldron on his left shoulder, a golden knee guard around his left knee, accompanied by a cape with intricate gold chains and black shoes. The outfit is similar to the one worn by his father, King Regis, but without stripes or neck ornaments, as it is tailored to him.

Alternate outfits [ ]

Main article: Noctis's attires

Noctis has alternate outfits available . One was available since the beginning of the game, and others are obtained by progressing in the story, from DLC (both free and paid) and from patches .

Though his three companions are not royalty , Noctis usually treats them as equals. His upbringing shines through, however, as reflected in his body language, poise, and posture in contrast to his team. He regularly dozes off; this is present from his early childhood. According to Final Fantasy XV Prologue Parting Ways , Noctis's personality changed following a childhood incident, making him more withdrawn despite having been a lively child before. In his teenage years, he appeared perpetually bored and uninterested in the things happening around him.
According to the Final Fantasy XV: Official Works , Noctis's overprotective upbringing has left him with poor interpersonal skills and he comes off as brusque with all but his closest friends. Having witnessed his father work as king has made Noctis respect the position and the dedication needed of a good sovereign, but also fear for the time he would need to assume the throne himself, making interactions with his father a struggle. [3]

Young Noctis and the Sword of the Father .
Director Hajime Tabata has described Noctis's relationship with his father thusly:
Noctis has grown up seeing his father as both a father figure and as the king of the country, so during the game he tries to grow as a person and develop with that image in mind with his father as a role model. Hajime Tabata [6]

In the Final Fantasy XV Collector's Edition Guidebook , Tabata describes Noctis as having experienced isolation in his youth, and fearing losing those close to him. Noctis's words and actions often stem from a fear of being unable to meet the expectations of those around him, but as a counterbalance he desires to please them. Tabata asked Yusuke Naora , one of the art directors for Final Fantasy XV , to look at Noctis as a real person and to depict his aging with realism rather than symbolism.
Noctis has dealt with a lot of emotional turmoil as his mother died when he was young and his father had to cater to the demands of the kingdom, leaving Noctis feeling alone. Nevertheless, he is not bitter over it, accepting that sacrifices had to be made. Noctis is still trying to figure out who he is, and struggles articulating his feelings. He keeps a lot bottled up, especially with confronting how he feels about his childhood friend Lunafreya. When Noctis struggles coping with things, he tends to avoid the issue and become even more withdrawn, such as when he avoids his duties or thinking about being the next king in Brotherhood Final Fantasy XV due to worry over his father's ailing health. When he acknowledges the situation is bad, his first instinct is to focus on himself rather than the people he's supposed to lead, or even his closest friends. He doesn't share the weight of his grief over the deaths of his loved ones, and instead tries to deal with it alone, further isolating himself and pushing others away.
He enthuses about the things he enjoys, and has a bit of an inflated ego, as noted by Gladiolus. He can be reckless, having to be held back by others, though this does not always stop him. He's playful, especially towards Prompto, his best friend, and is frequently snarky and sarcastic. Near the end of Noctis's journey, his friends note his increased confidence, and he has become more stern and resolute. He has learned to take on the responsibilities of his position, and does so without hesitation.
Noctis dislikes vegetables, much to Ignis's displeasure, who tries to encourage a healthy diet. Noctis and Prompto share a distaste for bugs and a love for animals, especially pets and chocobos . Noctis seems unaware that Iris has a crush on him, though obvious to everyone else. Noctis is also apparently a reckless driver, as implied by Ignis's nervous reaction to Noctis driving the Regalia over to the Disc of Cauthess .


Final Fantasy

King Raithwall had long white hair, mustache and a beard. He wore a golden helmet with wing ornaments and was draped head to foot in armor with intricate patterns. His long cape was frayed at the bottom. His weapon was the greatsword since known as the Sword of Kings .

King Raithwall is known as a benevolent king who sought to unify the land to stop the wars. Due to his skills in strategy and deep empathy with his people, he took control of Ivalice and is remembered as a great leader.


Final Fantasy

As the king of a desert kingdom, Raminas dresses lightly in ornamental golden armor pieces and teal cloth. He is bald and has a white beard and brown eyes. He wears an elaborate diadem with tassels hanging to frame his face.

King Raminas was devoted to keeping peace and steering Dalmasca as a neutral party between the warring empires of Archadia and Rozarria , though he seems willing to sacrifice sovereignty for the sake of saving his people from further harm. Ashe looks up to him as a role model for what a good ruler should be like, and ultimately abandons her quest for power after realizing that Dalmasca had never used its Dusk Shard as a weapon for conquest, instead opting for peace and diplomacy.


Final Fantasy

Regis is a rapidly aging man with gray hair and green eyes. In his youth, his hair was black. He wears a black suit with thin white stripes and a black cape. He wears a gold knee guard on his right leg and black shoes. Regis uses a cane to walk, and wears a silver, hornlike crown on the right side of his head, held behind his ear. The crown somewhat resembles Bahamut who has curved horns on his helmet in his true appearance and on the Kingsglaive emblem . The golden ornaments on Regis's cane and braces have wing motifs, like the royal arms do.
As a Lucii , Regis retains most of his appearance, but wears a suit of armor, and a helmet that covers his head and face.

Regis believes those of his royal bloodline are strong of heart and will, but is deeply saddened by the fate that awaits Noctis as his son's safety is his first priority. He helps Noctis grow and shows him what it means to be a king. Out of everyone he meets, Regis has the greatest impact on Noctis's life. [2] Regis wants his son to find his own path, and as such, asks Ignis , Gladiolus , and Prompto to not guide Noctis, but rather stand by his side as he finds his own way. Although he may be willing to do things that would be considered an outright betrayal of those who trust him to ensure that the prophecy comes to pass, Regis feels guilt over it and hopes that future generations will understand his motives. He regrets all the times he failed to save those under his care, such as the fate of the Tenebraen royal family.


Final Fantasy

His human visage unknown, as a Lucii the Fierce wears an elaborate suit of armor that resembles samurai gear. His most prominent feature is the disc on his head, which has chains attached to its underside with what look like small dogtags hanging from them. His helmet covers his entire head with four narrow slits for eyes.

Tonitrus is known for his merciless brutality, having wielded a great mace with such ferocity and relentlessness that he was feared as a veritable demon. He appears the most aggressive of the statues in Insomnia . However, Tonitrus was a kind, loving and just king who cared deeply for his subjects.

Spoiler warning : Plot and/or ending details  follow. ( Skip section ) He is the most apologetic of the three Lucii controlled by Ardyn after being released from his brainwashing. Abilities [ ] The Fierce's gravity magic. Known to be an exceptionally deadly fighter with his great mace, Tonitrus destroyed many enemies and was feared by his foes. Perhaps as proof of his skills, the Fierce was chosen by Ardyn to confront Noctis and his party. While brainwashed, he still wields his mace with great ferocity, destroying stone pillars that get on his way. He can warp and his controlled state uses daemonic energy to cast a gravitational sphere capable of inflicting continuous damage by sucking in anyone nearby. As his health wanes, the Fierce cloaks himself with dark energy, growing stronger. At the end of his stamina, the Fierce summons an impenetrable wall capable of damaging anyone near it. As a Guardian, the Fierce could empower his axe with light to cause craters upon hitting the ground and create a protective barrier of blue energy. In Final Fantasy XV: Comrades , the Fierce's Sigil: Rampage allows the bearer to use powerful martial arts; when stringed together, the combos can unleash a powerful special beam of energy attack. Story [ ] The Fierce against a Diamond Weapon. Tonitrus reigned as king at some point during Lucis's 2,000 year old history. After his death his soul entered the Ring of the Lucii and his spirit also came to inhabit a colossal statue likeness of him, built as a coffin that would animate at the behest of the currently reigning monarch when the Crown City of Insomnia and the Crystal are in danger. He became remembered as simply "the Fierce." His royal arm , the Mace of the Fierce, was entombed upon the Rock of Ravatogh volcano. The About the Kings of Yore document in Final Fantasy XV: Comrades posits that royal tombs were erected as a memorial to the king or queen who claimed that land in the name of Lucis, suggesting the volcano was joined in Lucis during Tonitrus's rule. When Ardyn Izunia raids Insomnia in M.E. 734 , he faces numerous The Fierce guardians protecting the city's Wall amplifiers. When Niflheim invades Insomnia over 20 years later, Nyx Ulric animates the Old Wall statues after gaining power from the Ring of the Lucii. The statues fight the Diamond Weapon , the Fierce wreaking perhaps the most damage, destroying buildings and imperial airships as he goes. Even after losing his arms the statue still continues, but is the only one who is defeated. The Fierce enslaved by the Starscourge. Noctis Lucis Caelum, the last of the Lucian lineage, embarks on a journey to collect the royal arms of his forebears, and inherits the Fierce's mace. After acquiring the Crystal's power, Noctis and his retinue return to the now daemon -infested Insomnia, where they come upon the Fierce enslaved by the Starscourge and must fight him.

Final Fantasy

Bartz has a slim, muscular build. He has white hair in Yoshitaka Amano 's artworks, with a tight-fitting shirt and trousers with various beads and sashes. In the Dissidia Final Fantasy series, this is his primary appearance as his hair is pale brown.
His sprite depicts him with brown hair, wearing a blue tunic, white shirt and trousers, and sometimes a red cape. Bartz's eyes are gray or brown depending on the source. In sprite form, his eyes are blue. Officially, he is the tallest of the playable party. When he takes on different jobs , his battle sprite changes accordingly. His freelance attire later became one of his alternate costumes in Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia 012 .

Bartz's Dragoon resembles Kain Highwind 's armor in Final Fantasy IV , while his Mystic Knight costume resembles the attire of Minwu from Final Fantasy II .

Bartz's crystal represents passion, the essence of wind. [9] Bartz is a friendly, upbeat, confident, light-hearted traveler who is enthusiastic and quick to act without dwelling for too long. He enjoys being helpful and brushes off any thanks in return, as seen both when he saves Lenna at the start of the adventure [5] and when he follows Galuf to his world. [21] Bartz is supportive of his friends' needs, exemplified when he supports Faris' decision to continue her pirate demeanor when her true identity is revealed, [11] and when he trusts Galuf to make his way back alone, describing him as a "tough old cuss". [35] Bartz is levelheaded to the point of being facetious, remarking the others are "going overboard" after putting themselves in danger. [23] Another of Bartz's weaknesses is that he, in many conversations, comes across dim and slow to catch on, something that Sage Ghido mocks him for. [29]
Prior to the adventure, Bartz had no further ambitions than exploration as his father had wanted, leading to him initially rejecting Lenna's invitation to join her quest. [7] It is his conscience (and Boko's prodding) that leads him to change his mind and join her and Galuf, before becoming a Light Warrior. [5] Consequently, Bartz is forced to mature and form a greater sense of responsibility to the world. [4] He goes on to face threats such as Exdeath with little hesitation, and is unfazed upon learning that his father was a Dawn Warrior. [2] Exdeath's use of the Void to destroy Bartz's hometown enrages him, causing him to briefly become uncontrollably angry in a way not typical of him. [32]
Bartz often expresses excitement through outlandish phrases, such as "creeping crawdads" [35] and "geez-oh-pete". [23] Though Bartz developed a fear of heights as a child, [3] he only briefly shows it when traveling to the North Mountain early in the adventure, [36] and never again as he has no problem riding airships or flying chocobos.

Benjamin is a bemused but undaunted young man. He reacts to the news that he is the prophesied Knight with a shrug, and repeats this gesture often throughout his quest, usually in response to his companions or odd helpers. If he doesn't shrug it off, he gets annoyed, as when he learns the Old Man was just "guessing" at his destiny or when Tristam continually calls him "kid". Although he is often puzzled, Benjamin never gives up even when people around him lose hope. Though he is adventurous, he tries to stay grounded in common sense compared to his sometimes-reckless friends.

Final Fantasy

Clive is a well-built man with black hair and blue eyes. He wears a small, black earring on his left ear. Like Joshua, Clive's signature colors are red and black, but his attires feature more black whereas Joshua's feature more red.
In his youth, his hair is cut short and he wears a white vest over a red shirt, with red gloves. He was equipped with leather shoulder pauldrons, elbow guards, and hip armor, along with a Rosarian Oath longsword to carry out his duties as First Shield of Rosaria.
Thirteen years after the Night of Flames and his enslavement into the imperial army , the 28-year-old Clive bears the brand of a Bearer on his left cheek, has grown a chinstrap beard, and his hair is long and unkempt. His body is covered in scars after many years of combat. He wears a tattered, greenish-gray uniform equipped with chainmail and metal shoulder guards, brown leather gloves with small metal plates on the forearms and fingers, metal hip armor, and leather boots. After meeting with Hanna Murdoch in Eastpool, he receives a new set of clothing that once belonged to his late father, Elwin, consisting of a red and black vest with chainmail on the arms, black metal gauntlets and knee guards, and a black hooded cape, along with the Invictus sword that was once given to Rodney Murdoch. Invictus is his "canon" weapon, appearing as his sword in prerendered cutscenes. He also has a smaller sword hanging from his belt, but it is never used.
Five years later, Clive's hair is longer, his facial hair thicker, and he now has a large scar on his face after having his brand surgically removed. His clothing has become more ragged in the five years, especially the frayed edge of his cape.
A free update adds a new skin for Clive, "Burnt Black", where he is nigh entirely covered in black leather with tears on its surface and glowing red details. He still wears a black leather cape.

During his younger years at 15 years old, Clive was shown to be a kind, honorable, idealistic and caring individual, with a strong determination to prove himself and find his purpose after being passed over as Dominant of the Phoenix. Despite not being chosen by the Phoenix, resulting in his own mother scorning him and Joshua becoming both the Dominant and heir to the Grand Duchy, Clive doesn't hold any ill-feelings, jealousy or even envy towards his younger brother. Instead, Clive loves Joshua immensely, with him becoming First Shield not just as a means to prove himself, but also to protect Joshua. His little brother likewise looks up to Clive greatly, if not almost worshiping him, resulting in their brotherly bond to be very strong. He likewise views the family ward Jill to be like a sister to him and treats her as such. Eventually, as Clive gets older he realizes he is in love with Jill. Clive also deeply appreciates the support and faith his father shows him despite not being the Dominant as it was to be expected of the eldest child of the Rosfield family.
His kindness, admirable determination, dedication to his duty and open nature has earned him the respect and support of his fellow soldiers and the people, who offer sympathy at the poor treatment he receives from his mother. Clive likewise heavily dislikes how the Branded are treated, whether as tools or weapons, instead treating them as human beings, thus being polite and kind to them. His only negative relationship is with his mother Anabella, who took great importance on the family's lineage and him not being the Dominant resulted in her viewing Clive as a failure. Despite his mother's cold and arrogant behavior towards him, Clive shows no true anger or resentment, instead showing deference to her but does show sadness that despite his efforts, she displays no faith in him. He likely does this mainly for the family's sake despite the people and even his brother and father disliking how Anabella treats him. However, Clive appeared to accept that his mother may never display any real affection for him, no matter what he does to prove himself. Years after Anabella's betrayal and witnessing her ever-increasing acts of sadism and atrocious acts, Clive came to wonder if he ever truly knew his mother.
However, after losing everything in the battle between Ifrit and the Phoenix, from his father and brother being killed, his home absorbed by the Holy Empire of Sabreque and his own mother selling him off to be enslaved by said empire for 13 years, Clive unsurprisingly has become extremely bitter, sullen and depressed. The only thing keeping him going is his furious vow to one day kill Ifrit, who he believes killed Joshua, despite knowing that his path of vengeance won't end well for him. Further, after being betrayed, Clive became somewhat distrusting unsurprisingly, as he was wary of Cid and his band of outcasts initially but he soon warms up to them. He developed further sympathy and compassion for the Branded after becoming a Branded himself by the Empire, experiencing treatment as fodder by the empire, displaying disgust at how the Sanbreque Empire treats their Bearers, ultimately joining Cidolfus Telamon's band of outcasts for the goal of creating a haven for the Bearers. Clive would soon develop a deep respect for Cid, almost viewing him as a father-like figure as well as a leader to follow. Following Cid's death at the hands of Ultima , Clive would take up his mantle and mission to create a world where Bearers are free to honor him.
Though Clive would regain a measure of happiness after reuniting with Torgal , Jill and those he knew back in Rosaria, he would ultimately despair after discovering that the Dominant he had sought to kill for years for the death of his brother was him all along. It even reached the point of being suicidal, begging Cid to kill him as he couldn't live with the knowledge that he killed his own brother and so many other innocents at the Night of Flames, as well as deeply considering jumping off a bridge into a raging river below to end his own life before Torgal snapped him out of it on his way to Kingsfall. However, after some encouragement from Cid and facing his demons upon his return to Phoenix Gate, Clive would manage to make peace with what happened, eventually leading him to master his Dominant abilities.
Clive would ultimately feel complete relief and joy upon discovering evidence that Joshua may be in fact alive, being driven to tears upon reuniting in Twinside following their united battle against a rampaging Bahamut. His reunion with his mother Anabella as Sanbreque collapsed however, was instead filled with volatile venting as Anabella admits she couldn't accept the type of rule Elwin conducted in Rosaria nor could she fathom why the Phoenix didn't choose him over Joshua, finally admitting that Clive was indeed the better option, revealing she hated how both of her sons turned out. Though Clive denounced his mother's selfish motives, he never did defend his own actions, suggesting that a part of him actually agrees with Anabella. If the Phoenix really did choose him from the start, then perhaps he and his family would have been spared a great deal of pain. Yet, however much Clive became disgusted with Anabella's actions throughout the years, a part of him still didn't wish to see her truly come to harm as he looked away in sadness and pity when Anabella slitted her own throat after being driven mad that all of her schemes and plans ended up being for naught.
One constant trait throughout Clive's life was his willingness and insistence on bearing everyone's burdens himself while ignoring his own personal burdens. However, with the exception of fighting other Dominants, Clive does not explicitly try to bar his friends from trying to help him and will instead try to do as much of the job as he can. Clive is stubborn in his want to bear other people's burdens so much so that Jill had to scold him for not trying to save himself. Another tendency of Clive's is him being unable to refuse any request from anyone who asks for his aid, whether it be from allies at the Hideaway or from strangers he meets while on the road as he travels. Though this earns him allies and friends that helps his cause, it does annoy Clive to some extent that he can't say no to them. Additionally, it's been stated that Clive is a poor liar which both Jill and his uncle Byron can attest, much to his confusion. Jill herself stated that it wasn't "untrue" when Byron said that Clive was always a "terrible liar". It would be proven to be so during his time with Cid and while traveling the land, for while he can disguise himself well enough, when adopting an alias or simply pretending to be someone, he fails utterly to put up a convincing act.
Clive often uses coarse language when feeling intense anger (such as his vow to track down and kill Ifrit for the events at Phoenix Gate) and when being set back (like when Typhon merged with his copies).
