==Profile==

Seifer Almasy was once a SeeD cadet in Balamb garden, he showed great promise and talent. Hailed as one of the finest fighters that the Garden had ever produced, Seifer seemed destined for great things... If only he could have gotten over his greatest stumbling block: himself. Time and time again he took the SeeD exam and time and time again, he failed. Arrogant and pig-headed, Seifer Almasy could never suffer the weight of being under someone else's authority and loused things up one way or another time and time again. It all seemed to come to a head one day when Seifer took President Deling hostage in a attempt to save his comrades. This was thought to have cost him his life. Far too much of a pain to die so easily, Seifer Almasy reappeared once more, this time at the right hand of the Sorceress Edea. Fulfilling a long held, romantic, childhood dream, Seifer Almasy now serves as the Knight of the Sorceress. With the coming of the Heartless, Seifer now seeks to rally the nation of Galbadia behind the Sorceress and bring other, fragmented nations together under his mistress' banner to form a unified force that can defeat them once and for all.

==Background==

''"One of these days I'm gonna tell ya 'bout my ROMANTIC dream!"''

The least important fact that one should know about the young man
known as Seifer Almasy is that he is a orphan. Maybe it was because
his parents were lost in the war, maybe they just left him on the
doorstep of the orphanage. He doesn't really know. To say that he
doesn't care isn't entirely true. It was long ago however... and those
memories are growing increasingly distant. Vaguely he recalls a
orphanage by the sea, other children, and a kind woman that cared for
them all. This is where he grew up, he's pretty sure it's where he met
Fujin and Raijin as well. Nowadays he can't entirely remember.

Most things from that time period are fuzzy. All of it save for one
day when he saw some shoddy movie, A knight and a sorceress, a man
that would stand against the entire world for one woman. It took hold
of him in a way that lasts to this day. It's what he wanted to be. A
sorceress' knight.

From here he moved onto the Garden. Driven by his dream, he trained,
studied, and fought as hard as anyone they had ever seen, even
mastering a new weapon, the Gunblade... Perhaps a weapon that is more
cool then strictly functional, never the less, Seifer Almasy makes it
work! He made quite the name for himself in the Garden when he was
there, everyone knew better then to cross Seifer Almasy or his two
compatriots in the disicplinary squad, Fujin and Raijin. Though not
sanctioned by the faculty, he took it upon himself to crack down on
trouble-makers, slackers, wimps, and various other undesirables within
the garden. His own brand of justice.

In this time he met the man that he himself would designate as his one
rival in the entire world, Squall. For a man named after a storm,
Squall is infuriatingly calm. Seifer could see the strength in him
though. They butted heads time and time again, in training both were a
even match for the other. Physically neither could gain the advantage.
This drove Seifer to seek out a edge. He added magic to his already
fearsome list of skills. Not the easiest task seeing as he had never
bonded with a guardian force.

Indeed there was little that could hold Seifer back when he set his
mind to things. His arrogence and bravado backed up with amazing
strength and skill. He had the makings of one of the best SeeD
operatives that have ever come from the garden. If only he could get
over the one thing that time and time again held him back: Himself.
Seifer tried to graduate into the ranks of SeeD many times, but each
time he failed his test for various reasons. He rankles under orders,
doesn't play well with others, and often flies off the handle. These
might be acceptable traits for a lone hero, but Seifer was not a hero,
he was supposed to be a SeeD a highly trained, highly disciplined
soldier. Time and time again he tried, time and time again he failed,
watching his fellow students move ahead of him.

Finally came the time when he would go through the exam as the
commander of not only his long-time rival but a little, chicken-shit
trouble maker that had long since been a annoyance. These two people
drove him to his very best. Right from the moment he stepped on the
beach, he was off like a shot, making them trail in his wake as they
clashed with Galbadian soldiers, their SeeD training making short work
of them until, at last there seemed to be none left. All was according
to orders until they reached their destination... a little square with
nothing but a lone mutt.

It went down hill from there. A enemy platoon pushed past and made a
break for a communication's tower. Seifer made the call to go after
them. It lead to a grande fight. The kind he had expected. Soldiers
fled rather then be cut down by the man in the grey coat. It came to a
dramatic finale when they were chased down the hill and through the
town by a massive, unstoppable, spider-like machine. Everything came
to a grand finish on the beach, the machine bearing down on Squall
when one of their instructors appeared at the trigger of a heavy
machine gun.

All in all it was one of the most exciting exams he had ever taken!
It's... just too bad that he didn't pass. Squall did, however. And
that, that made him a little proud.

With the path of a SeeD seemingly closed to him, Seifer soon found
himself on a path that had always been his dream. Approached by Edea,
the world's Sorceress, Seifer pledged himself to her service,
furthering his 'Romantic Dream'

He owes much of his skills to the Garden, taught by their instructors
and sharpening his skills on the monsters that inhabited the Training
Grounds, even going so far as to clash with the T-Rexaur a time or
two. By far, it was Squall that helped him the most. Keeping in step
with him drove Seifer to become a ever more skilled Gunblader and even
a partial mage.

Now with the coming of the Heartless and the fragmentation of his
world, Seifer Almasy finds himself met with so many strange, unknowns.
Still, he stands strong beside his sorceress, intent on forging the
worthless nation of Galbadia and it's pathetic troops into something
that can stand against these dark tides, into something that can
gather the disparate fragments that are scattered throughout the void
together into a force that can defeat these horrors... For now, he is
ignorant of his mistress' workings within the darkness... as well as
the darkness that is coiling around his heart even now,

==Personality==

Once he joined Edea she took him under her wing, suffering through the
process of teaching him the darker arts. Where dabbling in the dark
side will take the young knight, none really know.His change of
alliance has cast a starkly unpleasant light on his former friends.
While in the garden he did little to endear himself to his fellow
students beyond Raijin and Fujin. Indeed, even the faculty was not
immune to his somewhat barbed personality, even going so far as to
call Instructor Quistis mediocre. A remark that was no doubt made to
sting more by her demotion from the faculty that very night. Now
however, these people are not just thorns, or annoyances, but fully
fledged enemies and threats against his charge. It should be more
unsettling to have to turn your sword against those you had lived with
day in and day out... but Seifer's devotion to his dream, and perhaps
a little meddling from Edea has ensured that he remains steadfast in
his duties of a sorceress' knight.

He likes his own way in things, rankling under orders and often
disobeying them or ignoring them in favor of excitement or just his
own personal whims. To say this is a lack of discipline is untrue
however. Seifer possesses discipline but it is a self-discipline, he
follows his own rules. Perhaps because he feels he is above any that
someone else would try to enforce upon him, perhaps not. Despite his
own disregard for rules in general he feels he has the right to
enforce them on others, bossing or even bullying those he can with the
help of his two closest compatriots, Raijin and Fujin.

From this, it is easy to guess at his various dislikes. Boredom is
perhaps his greatest enemy of all. It's dull weight urging him to
shirk duty and ignore orders in the hopes of finding something
exciting, thrilling, or challenging. This is likely why he never
became a SeeD. Those achingly dull moments when action seemed to be
everywhere he wasn't. He often regrets it later... In fact it likely
lead to one of the most crushing moments of his life, being told that
a person like him could never become a SeeD... Another pet peeve,
being told what he can or cannot do, being looked down upon for any
reason.

Motivations, dreams? So many people chase these their entire lives and
manage to only get just a taste of it. Here though, now, he lives it.
His grand, romantic dream that has driven him for as long as he can
remember. That burning desire that pushed him time and time again
through so many stumbles and failures. It is here, it is now. It is
the present. Each passing second he is within it. He is a knight to
one of the most powerful women in existence. He is there,
beside her, safeguarding her from harm. He could never have dreamed
that it would happen so soon... and now that he has it,
he will do everything within his power to see it through to the end of
his days. He is her sword and shield against all that would seek to do
her harm, and he will not hesitate to cut down her enemies. This is
his driving desire among all other things.

Here you find his strength. His unwavering determination. Many SeeD
hopefuls would have given up after the first, or second failed exam.
Taken the hint as it were. Seifer tried time and time again however.
He could not be stopped, would not be held back. If the fault was in
his weakness, he would grow stronger. Time and time again he flung
himself into the battlefield. Time and time again he failed. Each time
his efforts were redoubled until they saw fit to make him captain of
his squad. Each time he sought to improve himself.

Each time he failed... and had he stayed the course, he would have
likely continued to fail until he was no longer eligible. Each time
the greatest thing holding him back was always himself. He could blame
his squadmates, his instructors, or whoever else, but each and every
time the fault was solely with him. His attitude, his inability to
take and adhere to orders. His brazen disregard for the seriousness of
the situation. For the lack of just a little humility, Seifer
continued to fail. With even a shred of it he might have become one of
the greatest SeeDs ever to come out of Balamb, one of the legendary
heroes to stride out into the chaos of the world and force it, if even
for just a while, to be made calm. That is another man, a man that
does not suffer Seifer's extreme arrogance.
