A young man who appears in tales of Ivalice, a world foreign to this one. He lost his elder brother, his only family left in the world, during the war with the Archadian Empire. The desire for vengeance within him remains nebulous, channeled into nothing more than petty thieving. He decides to sneak into the Archadian-occupied palace to "take back" some of the Dalmascan wealth that the Archadian forces have seized. This is how he meets Ashe, the crown princess of his fallen country, and the sky pirate Balthier. This is how his journey with them begins.

It took a long time for him to accept the death of his brother, who was painted as a traitor after dying in service to their homeland. But by coming to know Basch, a knight also entangled in the plots surrounding his brother, and making a connection with Ashe, who has similarly lost so many she loved, he finally learns to move onward to the future.

Now he is finally able to see past his brother's untimely death, and has learned to take his future more seriously.
