FF6 Characters

????? [GUEST] Show Images: 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.)
Aishya Show Images: Name of a girl in Maranda.
Arvis Show Images: (Aliases: Arvis (NA), Jun (JP)) The Returner sympathizer in Narshe, he helps Terra out when she ends up on his doorstep.
Banon [GUEST] Show Images: (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.
Baram Show Images: (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.
Biggs: See Vicks.
Celes Chere [HERO] Show Images: 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)
Cid del Norte Marguez Show Images: 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.
Clyde Show Images: 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)
Cyan Garamonde [HERO] Show Images: (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)
Daryl Show Images: (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.
Draco Show Images: Maria's lead in the opera.
Duane Show Images: (Aliases: Duane (NA), Dean (JP)) A young lovebird who takes care of the Mobliz orphans.
Duncan Show Images: 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.
Edgar Roni Figaro [HERO] Show Images: 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)
Elayne Show Images: (Aliases: Elayne (NA), Mina (JP)) Cyan's wife, who was murdered, along with her son and the rest of Doma, by Kefka's unorthodox warfare.
Gau [HERO] Show Images: 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)
Gerad Show Images: (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)
Gestahl Show Images: (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 [HERO] Show Images: 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)
Gungho Show Images: Strago's old buddy, he returns to Thamasa to try to get him to face some old demons, both metaphorical and physical.
Hidon Show Images: 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.
Interceptor Show Images: Shadow's dog, who aids him in battle and acts xenophobic around anyone besides Shadow and Relm.
Katarin Show Images: (Aliases: Katarin (NA), Katrina (JP)) Duane's lover, who also ends up taking care of the children of Mobliz.
Kefka Palazzo [VILLAIN] Show Images: (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.
Laura Show Images: (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.
Leo Cristophe, General [GUEST] Show Images: 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.
Locke Cole [HERO] Show Images: (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)
Lone Wolf Show Images: A thief with a wolf's head, he'll do anything he can to mess you up. Never be nice to him because he just can't be nice back. (See also Character:FF5)

Maria Show Images: The opera diva is a dead ringer for Celes, but she never appears in real life in the game, only in picture frames or conversation.
Matron Show Images: An old woman in Figaro Castle who recounts Edgar's and Sabin's tale. Perhaps their former nurse?
Mog [HERO] Show Images: 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)
Moogles Show Images: 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)

Relm Arrowny [HERO] Show Images: 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)
Sabin Rene Figaro [HERO] Show Images: (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)
Setzer Gabbiani [HERO] Show Images: 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)
Shadow [HERO] Show Images: 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)
Siegfried Show Images: (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.
Strago Magus [HERO] Show Images: (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)
Terra Branford [HERO] Show Images: (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)

Ultros [VILLAIN] Show Images: (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?
Umaro [HERO] Show Images: 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)
Vargas Show Images: 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.
Vicks Show Images: (Aliases: Vicks (NA), Biggs (JP)) A generic soldier for the Empire who gets wasted by Tritoch.
