Kain – Final Fantasy 4

While the purple, Draconian armour adorned by Kain Highland in Final Fantasy 4 might give the suggestion that he’s the villian, the reality of Kain is a stoic, sometimes sarcastic man, full of hope. He’s conflicted thanks to his connections to Cecil and his girlfriend Rosa, the former of which he’s been friends since childhood and the latter he hides strong feelings for. His possession by antagonist Golbez begins him on a road toward betraying the team, though he openly admits to the heroes that his actions were partly driven by his love that would never be reciprocated.
