A beautiful and cruel angel of death who sought to destroy the world of Gaia from the inside out. In truth he is a Genome, an artificial lifeform created to host the souls of the people of Terra, another world that seeks to merge with Gaia. He receives his orders from Garland, a being whose aim is to safeguard Terra's future. To throw Gaia into confusion and aid the Terrans' takeover, Kuja uses Queen Brahne of Alexandria and others as tools in his dark schemes. He is an older sibling of sorts to Zidane, but when he saw the potential within his "little brother" and the hopes pinned upon him, he abandoned the child Zidane on Gaia.

6★ | A beautiful and cruel angel of death who sought to destroy the world of Gaia from the inside out. He is a Genome, an artificial life that should not have independent will—and yet he does. Despite this "flaw," he is ordered by Garland to throw Gaia into chaos and help their home world absorb it. He plots to betray Garland, who sees him as no more than a tool to be used. But he falls into a spiral of despair when he learns that his lifespan is nearly spent and becomes self-destructive, intending to take the entire world down with him. |
7★ | A beautiful and cruel angel of death who sought to destroy the world of Gaia from the inside out. Kuja is a Genome, an empty vessel made to house the soul of a native of Terra within, with a mission to plunge Gaia into chaos. Having rebelled against Garland, the caretaker of Terra, Kuja ultimately kills him following his weakened state after his fight with Zidane. Although he initially meant to rule over both Terra and Gaia, he soon resolves to destroy the world in a fit of rage after realizing the limits of his own mortality. |
Fusion
5★ | The weak lose their freedom to the strong. Such is the way of the world. |
