A cheerful youth who uses a variety of weapons. Confident in his skills, he fearlessly enters any battle.
Vaan (ヴァン) is the main character in Final Fantasy XII and a warrior of Cosmos in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy.
Vaan in Final Fantasy XII
An orphan living in the former Kingdom of Dalmasca, now the destroyed territory under imperial control. He makes a living by stealing from Archadian soldiers, while dreaming of a life flying an airship as a sky pirate.
He meets the princess of Dalmasca who had been presumed deceased after the war, while sneaking around looking for treasure in the palace. Travelling alongside the princess in her attempts to liberate their homeland, he becomes entangled in a struggle for the nethicite and the untold power it holds.
Vaan in Dissidia Final Fantasy
Having difficulty comprehending the battle of the gods, Vaan holds no interests in the battle. He has set his sights on finding a way to get himself and his comrades back home and enter battle against the forces of Chaos seeking that goal.
He rescues Terra from the clutches of Kefka and tells her to become a warrior of Cosmos. Even Terra is taken aback by the sudden proposal, and if another warrior were present, would have surely denied his proposal.
However, his words struck a chord with Terra, leading to altering her purpose. Terra is eventually revived as a true champion of Cosmos. Vaan’s open mind must have spurred this miracle.
At times his carefree spirit surprises even his comrades, leaving them utterly speechless.
