A man who appears in the tales of a world where the gods toy with humanity's fate. Sazh worked as a pilot of passenger ships in Cocoon, the floating continent ruled by servants of the gods known as the fal'Cie. However, mysterious circumstances led him to board the same train, full of unjustly exiled civilians, as did Lightning, and he came to join her despite his lack of battle experience. Sazh's cheery, joking manner could cause others to misapprehend him as unserious, but in fact he had a mature outlook on life and could be counted on as a provider of wisdom. His constant companion was a chocobo chick.

Background Story

3★	A man who appears in the tales of a world where the gods toy with humanity's fate. Sazh worked as a pilot of passenger ships in Cocoon, the floating continent ruled by servants of the gods known as the fal'Cie. However, mysterious circumstances led him to board the same train, full of unjustly exiled civilians, as did Lightning, and he came to join her despite his lack of battle experience. Sazh's cheery, joking manner could cause others to misapprehend him as unserious, but in fact he had a mature outlook on life and could be counted on as a provider of wisdom. His constant companion was a chocobo chick.
4★	A man who appears in the tales of a world where the gods toy with humanity's fate. Sazh worked as a pilot of passenger ships in the floating continent of Cocoon, until his normal life was snatched away when the fal'Cie branded his son, Dajh, a l'Cie. Determined to fight for the sake of his son, he boarded a train bound for the world below, where he met Lightning. The two renegades then headed to the mysterious "Vestige" together, where they were eventually cursed as l'Cie themselves.
5★	A man who appears in the tales of a world where the gods toy with humanity's fate. Bent on saving his son Dajh from his fate as a l'Cie, Sazh threw himself into the heat of battle, only to be, ironically, branded as a l'Cie himself. Worse yet, the fal'Cie that had chosen him as their servant were working in opposition to the fal'Cie directing his son. Now an enemy of Cocoon, Sazh was persecuted to the point of contemplating death as an escape. However, the hope of one day seeing his son smile again freed him from despair.

Fusion

3★	Looks like Daddy won't be fighting alone anymore.
4★	I'll find a way to repay you for everything you've done for this old man.
5★	Daddy's all fired up! Or it could just be heartburn, but that's good enough for now.

Awakening

4★	I'm gonna be serious for a minute. If you're scared of dying and want to run away, run without looking back and you'll be OK.
5★	Some people say you have to hit rock bottom before finding hope. Look out, rock bottom: here comes a cannonball!

Summon

3★	I'll go with you. If you don't mind hanging out with a rookie.
4★	Daddy's gonna tear this place up! Well, not literally tear it...unless this place is made of paper and aluminum foil.
5★	Even when you're in trouble, you just have to laugh it off. Moping around won't help any.

Trust Mastery

To this old man, you're still just a kid. So don't worry, I'll take care of you.
