| − | His father was Maester Jyscal a powerful Guado a leader to the Guado race and his mother a human woman. Jyscal was the leader of the Guado, as well as a Maester of Yevon, who married a human woman, furthering relationships with the Guado and Yevon.
| + | Maester Seymour Guado born from the marriage of Maester Jyscal Guado and a Human woman, this marriage and child born of it was seen as an abomination creating strife amongst the guado and humans. Eventually the feud became too great Seymour and his mother were then exiled to Baaj Temple, living in near seclusion with each other Seymour would show proficient talent in magic and the art of Summoning. |
| | + | His mother growing ill in seclusion with her song seeks a way to find a way for him to be accepted, soon she makes the decision for them to take the pilgrimage. |
| | | | |
| − | Fierce opposition rose from the birth of Seymour a half breed many refused to accept, driven by Guado tradition, fierce prejudice, and rebellions seeking to to remove Maester Jyscal from power. Rebellions became so fierce Jyscal had to send his son and wife away to Baaj Temple, there Seymour trained in the ways of Yevon, magics, and even prepared to undertake the path of a summoner. For the time spent in Baaj temple the only one he could relate or even talk to was his mother, the days were long boring, and most of all strict. As a child of a Maester things were expected of him.
| + | Upon reaching the end of the pilgrimage the truth of Yevon too much for a young child to bear found Seymour fleeing from his mothers sacrifice and dieing wishes to become Seymours final Aeon and defeat sin. |
| | + | Seymour returned to Baaj Temple where he would live alone for years, his isolated lifestyle giving birth to his views on life and death. |
| | | | |
| − | Having been exiled by his father he harbored no great love for him, even as a child he began to understand that his father didn't do anything unless there was something to be gained from it, having so casually brushed his son and wife away to a temple out in the middle the ocean;
| + | He would soon realise the only way to truly end Spira's pain would be to Euthanise it, end its suffering by giving it death many years were spent on how. Eventually he came to realise how with the greatest power in Spira 'Sin' he would become it his knowledge of Yunalesca and the truth behind the final Aeon brought him to this conclusion to end the suffering of all those innocents with a swift merciful death. |
| | + | For this he needed power and returned to Zanarkand accepting his mothers Aeon and then having it transported to Baaj Temple, hidden away Anima would be his own personal Aeon |
| | | | |
| − | Seymour grew fond of the temple the solitude meant he wouldn't be judged for his hybrid nature, having been singled out by Human and Guado alike both seeing the young boy an abomination, many Guado seeing it as a blood treason being well known for their intolerance against the outside races already.
| + | He climbed the ranks through Yevon halted once he became high priest in Macalania by the presence of his father, the man who exiled him and his mother. Seymour resenting the fact his mother still seemed to defend and care about him despite their exile being on his command, still he received a merciful death at the hands of his son. |
| | | | |
| − | Over time Seymour's mother came to realize Seymour had a great talent for summoning something his mother picked up on and supported, encouraging the boy to take the pilgrimage of a summoner and she would take up the role as his 'Guardian' on a journey that would make Spira accept Seymour.
| + | With his father out of the way he arose to become Maester, from that position he could begin acting out his plans with only having to worry about Wen Kinoc another Maester eager to grab for power. He played the games with a certain calm controlled manner always wearing his facade of polite softness. |
| | | | |
| − | The path was long and hard but together they fought Seymour gaining strength from his mother seeing something in her eyes he'd always remember, what he saw was 'resolve' he knew they would make the pilgrimage. Leaving the lonely Baaj Temple they started their pilgrimage through that journey Seymour grew in strength and so did his mother, teaching Seymour in his duties as a priest and summoner of Yevon.
| + | Soon he would meet the one that would be his wife lady Yuna, daughter to lord Braska also a half-breed like himself part Albhed he found himself drawn to her. She showed spirit and resolve he had only seen his mother display, soon he began making arrangements for taking her as his bride, many would see it as a hope giving occasion the daughter of Lord Braska marrying the son of Lord Jyscal while fighting to defeat Sin. Many would assume it was a clever move to put him on top of Yevons power games, but this was more to Seymour she was his way to become Sin he truly felt for her be it obsession or love. |
| | + | Having planned everything out carefully he proposed to here within a memory sphere of old Zanarkand within the same room as Lady Yunalesca and Lord Zaon, everything was going to plan despite the hesitant and annoyed guardians. |
| | | | |
| − | Teaching Seymour to ease the pain of those suffering in anyway he can, taking care of the sick and injured along the way learning a bit about white magic, it seemed endless to him and all he could do was pity the people who he healed eventually he began to shut down his emotions. Too many dying, too many unsaved, and uncountable sendings;
| + | Everything was set in motion Guado spreading the word of the impending marriage, and even Lady Yuna's arrival to Macalania to accept his proposal. The it was all smashed with one act from beyond the grave by his father, he tried to reach out to Yuna only to have her guardians get in the way, and seeing only one way through it he would attempt and fail to end the protecters. |
| | + | He died there but was reborn with greater resolve as he once again began obtaining everything he seeked, even succeeding in marrying Lady Yuna on Bevelles cathedral peak, despite it all being an act to send him he found himself liking her all the more for that resolve. |
| | | | |
| − | His journey not only a physical peril but a mental one, his mother shielding him from the worst of it just by holding his hand in reassurance letting him know everything will be fine once Sin was defeated.
| + | Revealing Yevon to Yuna he was part of Yevons true face, unsent Maesters ruled and lied to ease the pain of the world rather than give it no hope. Sentenced to Via Purifico Seymour would go to wait for their daring escape from the dungeon, although Wen Kinoc decided to follow him to make sure there was no funny busines. |
| | + | There wasn't he was very serious when he killed him and absorbed his pyre flies to do battle with Lady Yuna's party again leaving him once again defeated, and them once again fleeing. |
| | | | |
| − | Eventually they would reach Zanarkand and Seymour would learn the first of many of Yevons dark secrets the hard way.
| + | It wasn't till Mt Gagazet till he revealed himself once again, having slaughtered many proud valiant Ronso warriors who barred his path, once again all in the name to win Lady Yuna to ending Spira's pain. By the end he revealed himself to the Son of Jecht and revealed to the party how Sir Jecht was sin, defeated but not yet sent he regathered himself. |
| | | | |
| − | Seymour saw here beautiful as ever for someone who died ages ago, the first summoner to defeat sin Lady Yunalesca despite her serene beautiful appearance he felt scared of her as she smelled of death.
| + | That's when the game changed, Sin and Lady Yuna vanished new creatures started attacking and new players began appearing to the grand game, Seymour returned to Yevon halting the chaos in his chase of Lady Yuna. |
| | + | Regathering his forces he began seeking out answers for Sin and Lady Yuna, but he also began his own plays seeking new allies in this great new expansion as visitors and invaders made their way onto the scene. |
| | | | |
| − | Presenting her offer like she did with so many other summoners Seymour could only stare in powerless shock, his mother too surprised but steeled herself with resolve believing the only way Seymour could be accepted. Begging her with all his will and might not to do it only to be silenced and told it was necessary for them to be accepted
| + | '''Allies''' |
| | | | |
| − | He didn't care anymore about the people, about his father, about being accepted, all he cared about was his mother who through her resolve and her sons persistent pleading went through with the ritual and sacrificed herself into being a fayth.
| + | '''Aquaintences''' |
| | | | |
| − | Seymour lost himself in anger and sadness no longer caring for acceptance, Seymour simply fled abandoning his pilgrimage losing himself in his grief and mourning in the wilderness, trying to find meaning in the hopeless abyss that had swallowed him. Wishing he could hold his mothers hand and know that everything would be fine like it had been on the pilgrimage. Eventually he just walked through the wilderness he came across a pack of dog like fiends attacking a chocobo and it's fledgling, a rare sight he was unfortunately too late to save it's mother she seemed half dead already wildly pecking defending her chick.
| + | '''Enemies''' |
| − | | + | |
| − | With one decisive blow Seymour stepped in raising his staff to the side and raising his arm to the sky then bringing it down, in time with that movement a flash of lightning flashing down on a dog launching itself toward the mother again only to be slammed to the ground bursting in a flare of pyre flies. The other fiends staring at the young blue haired boy snarling as they rushed toward him the pack leader staying behind eyes on the mother chocobo, rushing it launching itself at its neck biting on and not letting go as the fledgling squawked as its mother screeched in choked pain.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Seymour watching this unleashed a series of lightning spells at the charging fiends banishing them all in a flurry of magic and pyre flies till their pack leader was left.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Seymour stared in anger and in rage he raised a hand letting his claw like nails take positions as he made a sudden thrust forward unleashing a blast of fire to incinerate and blow the creature off the chocobo.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It too vanished in a pile of pyreflies those tiny beautiful glowing creatures no longer the monstrosity moved on else where leaving the corpse of the chocobo behind bleeding as the harsh reality seemed to sink in to the chick, it crouching down nudging its mother who seemed to be staring blank eyed dead on the scene.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Still the child cried squawking pushing circling around it was an endless spiral, Seymour watched eyes wide in realization that this world was and endless spiral of pain ending death it was as if the world itself was trying to show him that all defining truth in his mourning and grief. Seeing himself in that child begging and pining for its mother unable to survive without her.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Seymour shook his head at that notion he still stood, he wanted the answer he wanted to end this eternal spiral for good, staring at the chocobo chick poking and prodding its mother for any sign of movement only to get nothing. Seymour under stood its pain but also knew its future a chocobo that young wouldn't survive the fiend infested wilderness and would die ripped apart by predators,
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Seymour raised his sharp pointed staff in the air preparing a blow, it was to be quick and painless, slicing the bladed end of the staff into the back of the chicks head killing it instantly and saving it from a more painful end.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Moving on from the wilderness with no set path Seymour decides on Baaj Temple the only place he knew as home, somewhere he could think in peace and find answers without loosing himself to the harsh world.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The temple was quiet without his mother, he knew what it was truly to be alone now loosing himself in the thought of the meaning of life, his faith in Yevon was shattered beyond repair a mass lie made real by the belief of Zealots and an ancient fiend. He felt like the only one who knew this but there had been traitors before, and he knew the stories of them being brought to justice. Those who didn't believe in Yevon were outcasts alone and condemned, he was destined for something greater, he needed to be destined for something greater, otherwise it all was pointless living a dream and death the answer.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Seymour soon found himself thinking more like that, life was merely a dream and death the eternal peace after it, then the memory of the chocobo's came back to him was death truly the answer?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After many years in Baaj temple Seymour formed a firm belief that kept him going, it kept him sane and logical, it made him stronger, and it gave him his plan eventually his father came calling after many years things calming down in Guadosalam. A calm easing the peace bringing the old fights to a halt and celebration to Spira, it was Braska's calm a man with two guardians Jecht and Auron, Seymour had wondered which one was the sacrifice and become the new Sin, but concerns at home allowed him to take up his mantle and learn from his father.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A Maester of Yevon from him he learnt what it was to part of Yevon the truth of it was, a petty political power struggle between old men for more power, more wealth, and more control. There were 4 Maesters each in charge of an arm of Yevon, a Maester representing the three great Races of Spira, and finally a Grand Maester to hold reign over it all pass the laws and oversea control of the entire religion.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | He spent years with his father understanding the intricacies of being a political power of Yevon, supporting the people who support you earning the love of the people gives you more power than fear does he learnt very quickly. His father explaining the workings of religion how the zealots of Yevon would fight to the death for what they believe in, for what they love, and for hope. Because in Spira Sin could take it all away within a heart beat.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Sin itself playing a pivotal part in the religion without it there would be no coming together to rebuild, have people join the crusaders or other parts of Yevon to help and bolster their forces, offering them a distinct advantage in military power and allowing the Maesters to live with relative ease and comfort. The Guado line of succession displaying the manor filled with past portraits, His own now hanging there courtesy of the family's head servant Tromell who seemed to take an instant liking to Seymour always saying he was destined for great things. Seymour couldn't seem to tell whether Tromell was boot licking or being sincere this told him he was good at his job, observing his mannerisms and behavior Seymour knew he'd be an invaluable assistant.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Tromells first hand experience with Guado culture and his undying loyalty to his families line would mean he could concoct a plan to woo the denizens of Guadosalam, and that he did through acting as Seymours middle man to incite a plot where a large fiend would breach the Guadosalam Perimeter.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Enacted with ruthless precision Seymour knew he could count on Tromell, entering battle and displaying his power unleashing powerful spells along with a set of body guard Guado, eventually beating the creature with only a few people minorly injured.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Seymour basked in the glory of feeling like a saviour the people's awe and admiration washing over him it was a change from all those stares and hateful whispers, eventually feeding his ego till he became arrogant.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | His little plot within Guadosalam earned him a gift from his father he was to go to Macalania temple there he'd be put on the fast track to being the new high priest by studying under the current as his successor, it was from there Seymour began organising his own plot ordering the transportation his mothers fayth be brought back to Baaj Temple.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There was where he arranged a meeting with an alchemist on a very potent yet subtle poison this, obtaining the poison he hid it away in the temple for his later plans for now he prayed to the fayth finally accepting his mothers Aeon, going to need its power in the future if he was to truly end the spiral of Spira.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Years were spent biding his time in Macalania training himself ordaining himself climbing the ranks like a good priest, though he did allow himself one rebellious luxury a set of matching pectoral tattoos of winged Kirin. Seymour now saw life as short and fleeting, something filled with hurt and pain his calling and destiny was to end that pain and introduce death to Spira.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Those tattoos were there to remind him of his destiny choosing the Kirin for their majestic benevolence, and the legends of it being a messenger of heaven;
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The kirin is an animal of justice and humanity. It is a symbol of peace, joy, serenity, prosperity, success and longevity.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | That was what he wanted to be the final savior of Spira the ending of pain and suffering, a creature calm and serene, locking away the anger and hatred leaving only a calm collected man, well mannered but still having that commanding aura about him an aura of Benevolence.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Years of planning came into fruition ever since his exile he harbored a loathing for his father, a true hatred his mother sacrificing herself to win acceptance in the eyes of the people and his eyes, she still loved him despite having sat them aside like mere pawns. Seymour had it planned a special poison would be introduced to his father, he'd grow ill and die making it look like old age had finally caught up with him. Now the High priest of Macalania temple for two years he had earned respect and reverent from those who worshiped at the temple but it also acted as his first stepping stone to higher places.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Things went as planned his father died the people were distraught looking for new leader, and of course they came to his son and heir to his position to the delight of Tromell and the Guado people. He was to be ordained at Bevelle the Blitzball tournament his first official task to over see and he had a feeling that there would be a major disturbance at this joyous event, taking his time to set into motion some fiend tamers and hunters.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After setting his pieces into motion he began to move himself trusting his hired help to fill their end of the deal, then he'd fulfill his he was confident they wouldn't talk. As a Maester it'd be blasphemy and after saving everyone he could simply accuse them of being terrorists trying to pan off their crime, though he guessed it wouldn't come to that, they were smart and they knew their place.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The trip went quiet everything was marching along as it should, Sin was on the prowl again claiming Kilika village though he was confident and calm knowing destiny had a greater purpose for him than simply dieing by Sin.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Word spread slowly about his newfound position he wasn't the talk of Spira just yet, accompanying Grand Maester Mika on his 50th year as Maester would make those whispers stretch much further.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Arriving in Luca Seymour introduced Maeter Mika hearing the whispers of the crowd, reveling in it for a moment before turning offering the sign of Yevon and kneeling before the Grand Maester.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There Maester Mika introduced him announcing his fathers passing into the farplane fort nights past, there he humbly accepted simply saying "I am Seymour Guado. I am honored to receive the Title of Maester. In life My father Jyscal worked to foster friendship between man and Guado. I vow to carry on his legacy, and fulfill my duties as Maester to the best of my abilities."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It was there in the bowing crowd he met 'her' eyes not knowing who she was precisely but those eyes entrancing him for that passing second, for Seymour he felt that certain spark between them it could only be described as destiny.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Walking on after the destined meeting glance he couldn't help but wonder more about her, even as he stood the at Maester Mika's side he couldn't help think about her as the blitzball games took place.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | That day seemed to be a day where the impossible was possible the under dogs and general joke of the Blitzball league pulling a lucky draw seeding themselves into the finals should they beat the Albhed Psyches. That they did Seymour didn't pay much attention to the frivolousness pass time that was blitzball, though he did recognize its value to the people and having so many gathered today only made his plan all the more effective.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Once the match finals were completed the fiend tamers and hunters unleashed the beasts into the crow and blitzball sphere letting them run rampant amongst the screaming crowd, a few innocents did get hurt this didn't concern Seymour, being a good Maester he made sure Maester Mika was escorted safely away.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Then he made his approach to center stage his hands forming the prayer of Yevon, then that monstrous three hooked chain would plunge from the summoned glyphs in the sky ripping through the earth and almost seemingly into a hell of its own, it then began to rise up though there was something with it a monster bound in chains snarling in pain, one terrible eye visible as the other was bandaged over, around its neck was a figure of a woman resting the only beautiful thing about this vicious looking Aeon.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Without a word or a hint of hesitation the beast began locking onto the fiend targets its eye glowing with terrible power, it's head recoiling after every potent energy blast hit its mark destroying fiends big and small in a mass flurry of Pyre flies.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Single handedly Seymour stood there having defeated the mass of fiends as the crowd began chanting in praise and thanks 'Praise Yevon!' 'Praise Maester Seymour!'"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The plot complete Seymour dismissed his Aeon humbling bowing out to check on the Grand Maester, who despite his old doting grand father act seemed to know Seymour had a part in today's events, it was left unsaid but he felt Maester Mika watching him much more closely.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Seymour could only smile politely though he too held cards over Maester Mika the smell of the farplane on him, Seymour not the only Maester holding secrets as he prepared Mika for his trip back to Bevelle he got his orders on 'Operation Mi'ihen'.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After things had calmed down Seymour learnt of Lady Yuna daughter of Braska, and he also learnt of a few that traveled with her particularly they rumors of Lord Auron meeting up and joining them after Luca. This brought a smile to his face as he learnt who was sin, since Auron was there this could only mean Jecht was the Sacrifice, few stories were of his valor but one particularly stuck out in his mind when he had become so drunk he attacked a Shoopuff, thinking it was a fiend it was laughable that a man like that was the scourge of Spira but it was true it only meant he'd take him down easier.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | He was to meet up with Maester Wen Kinoc at the command center word obviously having been sent ahead to keep a close eye on Maester Seymour, a great surprise the woman in the crowd Lady Yuna stopped at the checkpoint on the Mi'ihen road. After a few pleasantries and seeing their obvious plight Seymour used his influence as Maester allowing them passage and take 'full responsibility' not something to be taken lightly, yet he had the fullest confidence
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Introduced as he arrived he came in strong his voice more commanding now "Brave Crusaders of Spira. Protectors of all Spira." His voice no longer the soft spoken one of a guiding priest it was his speech as a commander now.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "Believe in the Path you have chosen. Let faith be your strength!"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "I Seymour Guado Maester of Yevon. Will bear witness to your deeds today."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The troops called back with a firm resound "Sir." knowing he had their command and their respect.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Walking back to speak with his 'guests' his eyes came on Sir Auron greeting him politely in a well mannered way, very interested in his story having vanished of the face of Spira for ten years even his sources couldn't say what he had been up to.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Rather rudely dismissed Seymour could only wonder covering up his disapointment with an "I... see."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Turning his attention back to Yuna a much more respectable girl, she was taught well her personality shining through he relinquished her of the formalities of titles such as 'Your Grace'
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | He was then approached by a firm believer of the party the orange haired man, he spoke in far to many formalities Seymour seeing it more fit to let him speak freely to end any further stutterings.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Wanting to know why he did not stop this operation he gave his carefully considered reply "It's true I should.. But the Albhed and the Crusaders, both truly wish peace for Spira. This Operation Mi'ihen was born from that wish that they share. Even though it may be sacrilege to Yevon, their intentions are pure. And I. Seymour Guado-- The person, not the Maester of Yevon. As a denizen of Spira, I wish them well on their endeavor."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Still wishing an answer on the elephant in the valley 'Machina' wishing to find out if using Machina is bad Seymour put it pretty simply "Pretend you didn't see them."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Furthering his role as a person not a Maester it seemed to aghast them as he said something a Maester shouldn't say, he wanted them to know he was more than just a Maester answering back with simply "Then, Pretend I didn't say it."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Walking away letting those thoughts whirl around the heads of Yuna and her guardian, it was something he desired for her to realise in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter how Spira is saved as long as it is saved.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Requesting Lady Yuna's presence to the command center Seymour wanted her to see events unfold, he wanted her to see what he had seen the ultimate truth he wanted her to understand and for that he needed to prepare her. The outcome known to him though a little twinge of doubt did float in his mind, dismissing it easily knowing his ultimate destiny, Sin would never and could never end under the power of Machina.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Meeting with Maester Kinoc they waited the arrival of Yuna's party Seymour only smirking ever so slightly as he let him know that an old friend would be visiting. Sir Auron to be exact Kinoc seeming eager to meet his old comrade in arms, especially now that he held the title of Maester.
| + | |
| − | Interrupting the meeting with Lord Kinoc as he seemed to drop his act in front of Auron, not wishing his own presence and impressions to be put into Jeopardy for the sake of their meeting, especially not with Lady Yuna.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Leaving the small party to deal with the escaped sin spawn they had effectively got it crying out, and Sin arrived displaying it's terrible power vaporizing crusader and sin spawn alike as canons pounded its energy shield. Then it unleashed that flash that reached even the command center, seeming to re-energize the sin spawn Seymour himself taking action using his staff and holding the beast back with his own strength protecting Yuna, holding the beast at bay while they recovered.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Fighting with Yuna by his side seemed so right as he had something that he wanted to protect again, it brought back old feelings as he tested himself against the Sinspawn, it's previous battle having weakened it making it easy prey to his magics and the combination between him Yuna and Auron.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Dispatching the Fiend he followed Yuna as she rushed to see the Machina unleashing it's energy stream at Sin's energy shield, Seymour following behind readying himself for what was to come it was as though destiny itself had set out this moment to watch her observe one of the harshest truth's of Spira.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Stopping Yuna from Summoning knowing she won't hurt it having to quell her moment of agony with "Your powers are still too weak." knowing that feeling himself from his child hood wanting to defeat the monster only to be too weak, forcing himself on to be stronger needing that final Aeon to give himself the power needed to hurt Sin.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It pained Seymour to let her know there was nothing she could do, shaking his head unable to say it himself as he saw her the loss of hope in her eyes now, along with despair yet she moved on to summon that was when he stepped in more forcefully and commanded "You can't."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Seeming his orders halting her though it was upsetting to them both, he believed she understood even if she didn't wish to say, Sin left without any resistance no more Sin spawn calling it and all of it's opponents defeated or disheartened.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Auron seeming to guess the truth of Kinoc and Seymours visit to the operation, promoting how those who turn their backs on the teachings of Yevon die and the faithful live on, Seymour approaching Yuna who seemed to have taken things hard with the sending.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Letting her into his world as a Maester as he tells her of her duty, her resolve still entrancing him as he comes to care about her.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "Now more than ever, you need to be the peoples strength. Their confidence."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "Anyone else would be expected to show their sorrow."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "But you.... are a summoner. You are Spira's hope. Until Sin is defeated you must not relent. Do you understand?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | She understood seeking to comfort her he asked "Are you afraid?"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It didn't need to be said he saw her fear and hesitation, destiny once more seeming to pluck a moment in time for them to share as he said "Yuna, take me as your pillar of strength. As Yunalesca had her Lord Zaon."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | He saw it in her eyes it didn't need to be said, such a shy girl for one with huge destiny he couldn't help but think.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "Lady Yuna. Until next we meet. Farewell."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Parting ways for now they would meet again, he was sure of that he would make sure of that as he planted the notion of his affections in her mind, wanting her to consider him as he considers her now.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Parting ways now he considers the moment they shared, standing side by side before Sin as it unleashed its terrible power and un-merciful wrath upon the valiant crusaders and Albhed. It was a moment of pure perfection that they shared and he was glad to share it with her.

| − | The results of operation Mi'ihen hit Seymour harder than expected, hiding his emotions well he still hated to watch people suffer wishing to end their pain once and for all.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | All he could do was wait and ease the pain as best he could.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A time after Seymour had returned home and was patiently awaiting the arrival of Lady Yuna, he had an unexpected visitor a young Baralai of the crimson squad. Formed and dismissed by Maester Kinoc he was in dire need of allies. Yevon itself turning its back on the soldiers that gave their lives for the greater good, Seymour simply considered a man in his predicament desperate, alone, and worried.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | He knew he was smart enough to know how Yevon worked, Maesters vying for power and the enemy of his enemy was a friend, it was good enough he could use him a talented soldier willing to do his duty and a great resentment to Wen Kinoc.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "Very Well, I will take you under my wing."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Keeping his back to him as he spoke he to give Baralai relief "Consider any record of your association with the Crimson Squad erased."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Baralai thanking him assuring him he'd go into hiding till the time was right, this at least gave Seymour assurances and time to prepare back stories and other infiltration's to erase any involvement Baralai had with Maester Wen Kinoc's crimson squad.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Being questioned afterward about his decision to allow Baralai his protection his reply was simply "I can use him."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Then when the reply came "Like the High Summoners daughter!" it was simple ill considered like a man coming upon a sudden realization.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It was harsh and sharp reply "I don't recall asking your opinion."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Seymour's temper flared slightly he cared for Yuna despite what other types of bonuses she brings to the table especially when Politics were involved, the daughter of Lord Braska comes with its own burdens and after comforting her after Operation Mi'ihen he felt for her.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Realizing his mistake he stuttered a bit seeing the rise of anger he got from Seymour, fortunately Tromell entered, announcing Lady Yuna's imminent arrival and asking "Now then, should we make preparations for my lords future wife?"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Having already let Tromell know of his plans, even if he didn't he would assume that the faithful servant would figure it out he was smart and played his parts well.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Turning smiling once more Seymour gave the command "Very well." letting Tromell get the servants together and begin the feast preparations for the guest arrival.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Once Yuna and her party arrived he let Tromell greet her and do his thing letting her in on his history Seymour would then arrive to greet them acting the humble "That is enough Tromell. Must I always endure such Praise?"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Walking in presenting his hands in the prayer of Yevon as he greeted Lady Yuna and her guardians, asking to relax take rest in his home but it seems Sir Auron and the rest of the guardians seemed eager to rush on through their pilgrimage. If they only knew the truth of it Seymour couldn't help but feel pity and amusement at their ignorant bliss seeming Sir Auron left out the sacrifice required to the guardians.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Leading Yuna he would play the sphere he had obtained playing the memories of the dead that wander the farplane particularly the ones from ancient Zanarkand, he was going to captivate his audience taking them to the wonderful Machina city Zanarkand as a certain 'She' used to live in that ancient metropolis.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As Yuna asked she who he knew he had her undivided attention, letting the sphere take them to a woman sitting on a bed and Yuna recognized her straight away Lady Yunalesca.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "The first person to defeat Sin and save the world from it's ravages."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Looking to Yuna approaching as he explained "And you have inherited her name."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Yuna pointing out it was her father who named her Seymour simply replied "Lord Braska was entrusting you with a great task. He wanted you to face Sin as Lady Yunalesca did. "
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Now preparing her for the lead up to the reason he had called her to his mansion "Although Lady Yunalesca did not accomplish this alone. It took an Unbreakable bond of love -- the kind that binds two hearts for eternity."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Forming the prayer of Yevon to further emphasize his point as Lord Zaon began his marching approach inside passing straight through Yuna like a ghost. Watching them embrace Yuna and Seymour shared a soft smile and a look as they hugged glad to be with one another watching the two ancient lovers now was his time. Catching her gaze he moved in closer to whisper and ask her "Will you marry me? I wish to be your Lord Zaon... Together we shall bring hope to Spira."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Yuna was shocked to say the least, walking to grab a drink of water as her Guardians stared on, Yuna breaking the news to her guardian and Seymour preparing his rebuddles to their qualms Sir Auron Particularly knowing what the pilgrimage entails.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "You know what Yuna must do."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Seymour could only smile having rehearsed this "Of course. Lady Yuna-- no all summoners-- are charged with bringing peace to Spira. But this means more than just defeating Sin."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Walking closer his hands spread as he became open "She must ease the suffering of all Spira. She must be a Leader for the people. I proposed to Lady Yuna as a Maester of Yevon."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Sir Aurons reply was harsh seeming dislike the idea as it would change nothing, but they both knew defeating Sin would change nothing.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "Even so the Actors must play their parts."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Revealing some of his true self an actor simply playing a part to show more mercy to the people of Spira, but calmly approaching Yuna again saying "There is no reason to answer straight away. Please think it over."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Knowing the kind hearted girl would eventually come to the decision to give people of Spira joy and happiness in such marriage, but he also wished to travel with her as her husband willing to die for her if need be and at the end when they met with Lady Yunalesca he would gladly offer himself to her.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Auron intent on leaving made point of pushing it though Seymour had confidence she would make the right decision "Lady Yuna. I await your Favorable reply."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Not enjoying the sudden pull away forced upon him when he knew an answer could have been drawn from Yuna then had Sir Auron not been with her, not to be out done he was going to point out a secret of Aurons should any of the other guardians take the time to figure it out asking "Why are you still here, sir?"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Bowing a little as he seems apologetic "I beg your pardon. We Guado are keen to the scent of the Farplane"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Auron not seeming to show it but Seymour would take that tiny little attack as a victory should the other guardians figure out what he had smelled from Sir Auron.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Leaving soon after for Macalania Temple not expecting an answer so soon, and giving time for a none hasty answer and give Lady Yuna time to see reason, but also gave himself time to let his Guado spread the rumors of such a joyful wedding to take place. Hoping Yuna wouldn't rob them of the happiness they were feeling, and come to him with her Favorable answer at Macalania temple.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Eventually Yuna arrived allowing her into the cloister of trials while he patiently awaited her return, the answer seemingly evident as a 'yes'
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Then her guardians burst in shouting asking for silence for Yuna's sake one of the more uncouthed impertinent ones telling him to make him be silent, it was unexpected Seymour turned to face the guardians they all seemed ready for a fight. He couldn't help but wonder why they would suddenly turn so violent, after all he was a very likable individual people cheered his name from the streets he was a Maester.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Then it became clear Jyscal's sphere came into light his father had thwarted him from beyond the grave, still all he had to do was wait for Yuna she had made her decision to marry him. The show down continued until the cloister doors opened and Yuna stepped out and so began the accusations, Yuna herself seemingly surprised to see her guardians there too.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Not hiding the fact he had killed his father he simply replied "What of it?"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Focusing solely on her guessing she already knew all of this and asking why she had come to accept his wedding proposal, she would then back up it seems she wished to punish him, holding his hand out he forgave her wanting them to be together but still she didn't come to him.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Then the guardians stepped in again, shaking his head saying "Such a pity." they offered him their lives by standing against him in such a manner and he was going to take them, except for Yuna he would spare her and show her why he did what he did.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | She would need to be locked away for a time eased into things but he would make her understand, he would show her the way and help her ease all of Spira but first the guardians needed to be dealt with.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Yuna decided to fight too in her defiance and decision she had never looked more beautiful resolved in her fight against him, he continued to fight to the point his two body guards died during the fight and he decided to unleash Anima.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The battle was long and hard but Anima eventually lost to Yuna, her Aeons, and guardians proving too much for the Maester, and eventually a fatal blow was struck leaving Seymour staggering, he stared to Yuna as she rushed to help perplexed and enjoying the final moment that she still cared asking "Yuna, you would still pity me now?"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Eventually he passed out dying taking his final breath as a living being on Spira.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When he awoke next Tromell and other Guado were tending to his wounds, he was feeling strong again standing up as Tromell seemed to worry telling him not to move so fast "It's fine Tromell.." he assured him Seymour looking at his hands quietly knowing the truth of the situation he was an unsent.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | He asked what had happened to Lady Yuna and her guardians and soon learnt of sin being below the temple, and the earlier Albhed attack, all he could do was let his minions seek them out, for now he had to return to Bevelle. There he made preparations, killing a few of his own Guado and Kinoc's monks in order to make unsent ones he could bind to his will and ideal for finally giving rest to the world.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Eventually Guado troops found the Albhed 'Home' and backed up with soldiers of Yevon they laid waste to the Machina playground they had built and retrieved their prime objective Lady Yuna.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Seymour was most pleased and the wedding was back on Lady Yuna seeming to accept her fate, the day was a beautiful day and the ceremony was organised all the warrior monks had made preperations encase something interrupted this beautiful day.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The ceremony went swimmingly till the arrival of the guardians halted things near the end, though when they had those rifles holding them at bay he could only smile as he finished the wedding ceremony with Yuna kissing her right before her guardians, feeling her resist knowing she wanted to give in but was far to proud to show it before her guardians.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | So Seymour decided to dismiss them from life itself, that's when Yuna revealed her staff she was playing at this wedding for a chance to send him, Seymour was more impressed than annoyed by that loving that resolve knowing it could take her far.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | That's when Yuna made her own play faking a suicide attempt to free her guardians, Seymour knew where she would go she had yet to visit the temple in Bevelle so she would run there and her guardians would follow.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It was a simple matter of recapturing them when they tried to leave, gathering the troops they would be put on trial before Maeter Mika there atleast his dirty secrets were revealed, taking note the Ronso did not know of his father. He couldn't help but feel pity for Kelke in a den of snakes without knowing it, the Ronso holding some honor at least but it was liability in such an organisation as Yevon as Maester Mika revealed his own unsent nature.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Sentencing Yuna and her guardians down to the prison 'Via Purifico' immediate distrust between Wen Kinoc and Seymour, as Seymour so graciously agreed to wait by the exit of the Dungeon knowing Yuna and her guardians would escape and then Yuna could be his at last. Maester Kinoc not trusting Seymour even going as far to say "Would you trust a man who killed his own father." It was insulting to Seymour to be spoken to like that in such a manner, Kinoc assuming Seymour was still playing his game, things were soon to be revealed Seymour was playing a game of a much grander scale.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Leading the way Kinoc never saw it coming as a great Coup would take place, eliminating him for good giving him Seymour the chance to finally reveal his grand scheme to Yuna wanting her to join him.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Letting Kinoc Lead the way as a small group of Guado surround him lead by a warrior monk, Seymour could only smile as the first and final blow was set at the back of Wen Kinoc. " Bring him with us.. he will be the perfect example to Lady Yuna."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | They stood there as expected having braved the fiend infested depths of Via Purifico, he admired that resolve each of them had but knew in the end the resolve was for naught only he could end Spira's pain.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Wen Kinoc's still fresh corpse was unceremoniously tossed to the feet beside Maester Seymour smiled deciding it time to show Yuna his trueself and help her understand, help her see through the lies of Yevon and Spira.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "I have saved him. He was a man who craved power. And great power he had, but he feared losing it. Trembling at unseen enemies, he spent his days scheming petty schemes. Chased by his fears, never knowing rest. You see... Now he has no worries. He has been granted sleep eternal. Death is a sweet slumber. All the pain of life is gently swept away... Ah, yes. Don't you see... if all life were to end in Spira, all suffering would end. Don't you see? Do you not agree?"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Reaching his hand out for her as he said "That, Yuna, is why I need you. Come Lady Yuna. Come with me to Zanarkand, the lost city of the dead. With Death on our side, we will save Spira and for this... I will take from you your strength, Yuna, your life and become the next Sin."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Reveling now in his revelation as he shows her truth "I will destroy Spira! I will save it!"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The guardians once again interfering the loud mouthed blonde saying he was nuts, words didn't hurt him but a the Ronso running a spear into his chest did feel unpleasantly annoying though he took the pain, voicing the unpleasant nature of the predicament of being stabbed with the spear.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "Fine then. I will give you your death. You seem to want it so."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The transformation was a quick and painful process gathering all the necessary power from the unsent that surrounded him, giving him a new form and new greater powers eventually he completed his transformation leaving Yuna and her guardians fleeing as the Ronso offered his life for theirs.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To Seymours surprise the fleeing guardians soon returned to face him and aid the Ronso, unleashing new stronger magics on the party hindered them but eventually they managed to break through his defenses defeating him again.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Once reformed and once more his crowd appeasing self it was there and then casually gave up a new back story of the events that took place, how they had killed Maester Wen Kinoc.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Recovering his strength Seymour immediately set off with a few trusted Guado and a machina weapon in hunt of Lady Yuna and her guardians, knowing precisely where they were going it was only a matter of tracking which route and catching up to them. Eventually doing so at Mt.Gagazet.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | He knew they had been there the sounds of the singing Ronso filled the valley even as he climbed heading to the village, it now silent as the Ronso's greatest warriors and their Maester stood there in his path.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "Ah so the mighty Ronso guard my path... I heard how you sang such a pity. All those hope filled voices will soon be drown out by the pain and suffering of this world.."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Walking forward no fear of the Ronso he was ready to kill any and everyone who stood in his way to Yuna that should prove his love to her, killing an entire Ronso tribe just to get to her again.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "If your offering me your lives I'd be honored to take them." Seymour said eyes on Kelke Ronso another Maester in his way, the Ronso Maester replying "You will not pass monster, not while there is breath in our bodies and strength behind us."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A light chuckle was given in reply as Seymour couldn't help but reply "Not to worry, there will no longer be either within your bodies... in fact they will all be put to rest as I walk through each and everyone that gets in my way."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Many of the Ronso roared now ready to show Seymour that he was misguided with brute force, he felt pity for them ending each and every proud warrior who got in his way as quickly as possible letting them feel as little pain possible as they passed on. It was true path being realized as many seemed to cower away leaving only Kelke standing in his way as Seymour continued to approach, the Ronso leader still stood strong after having witnessed so many proud warriors lives ended at the hands of the half-guado.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Seymour struck the final blow quickly and without taunt in respect to the Ronso's gallant stand, though it not holding against his true might gathering their pyreflies, absorbing them into himself Seymour was ready now forming a new body that he would join with should the guardians interfere again.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Moving up the mountain toward the summit following as best as he could he soon caught up to the guardians, two in particular sneaking up standing there before the Albhed girl and the Son of Jecht. The girl sent fleeing for the others leaving him and the son of Jecht, the blonde uncouthed annoyance one that wouldn't be there for much longer. The other guardians all soon appeared before their battle begun, Lady Yuna the one he desired was there preparing a sending, to halt her he decided to speak "A sending so soon? Allow me to say something to the last Ronso, before I leave."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Chuckling as he prepared to let them in on what had happened back at the Ronso village "Yours was... truly a gallant race. They threw themselves at me to bar my path. One.... after another...."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Raising his hand slowly for them to see and then making a crushing clenched fist motion to emphasize his point raising concern from the Ronso guardian, then once again trying to reach out to Yuna with his way to end suffering "You could end the suffering of this poor Ronso."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Yuna still didn't understand so now he explained things much more simply "Allow Kimahri to die, and release him from his pain."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Turning to face off the mountain pointing out towards the vast land of Spira "Spira is a land of suffering and sorrow caught in a spiral of death. To destroy --- to heal --- Spira. I will become Sin. Yes with your help."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Facing Yuna and her guardians again he once more beseeches Yuna "Come with me Yuna."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Staring at Tidus deciding to ease the Son of Jecht with some hope also "Once I have become the next sin, your father will be freed again."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Smirking as he dealt a blow to anger the son of Jecht causing him to rush at Seymour to attack, reveling in power as he simply said "Pitiful mortal." the large fiendish body Seymour had made from the pyreflies of the Ronso floated up from the edge of the mountain, calling to him accepting it's master into its core.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | "Your hope ends here! And your meaningless existence with it!"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Unleashing his true power before them he did battle with Yuna and the guardians for the last time before being beat back, retreating off the mountain not allowing Yuna to send him his core pyre flies dispersed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | By the time Seymour recovered from that defeat he began to learn the rules of the game had changed drastically, having no choice as new fiendish creature came to Spira and worst of all Sin vanishing. A new plan had to be formed and he had no choice returning to Yevon and re-establishing himself in Yevon, planting new seeds to be harvested when the time was ripe, the loss of the other Maesters of Yevon was a shattering blow and Maester Mika despite his suspicions had no choice but once more bring Seymour, though never trusted him after the escapade with Yuna and her party.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Lady Yuna too vanished her and her guardians, this was unsettling to Seymour though he still listened for whispers and sent people to find out about her and Sin, but the chaos of the new creatures proved to be too much most of Bevelles forces remained strong holding them back but still the heartless were a relentless enemy. He admired that at least about them it wasn't till he heard whispers of people in black cloaks and controlled heartless did he begin to truly consider them more than relentless monsters.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Assuming Maester Mika had hear these rumors too he began ordering people to look into them in greater detail, he still had enemies in Yevon as well as a few allies though many were much more wary of him.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | New actions needed to be taken he was to set out on a Pilgrimage, Tromell following him of course with such loyalty and would provide pleasant company knowing he could trust him so far atleast, taking a few other Guado Seymour planned it out Announcing his departure to fight this new enemy.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Or so the gullible would believe Seymour went out searching for power vanishing for such a long hard pilgrimage it yielded nothing, stalking the land in search of the new set pieces on this greater game, after many weeks Seymour Returned to Guadosalam, soon it too was lost to the darkness and Seymour and Tromell escaping.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Returning just as lost as he was before new things started emerging, new worlds, people, races, and of course more players to the grand game so he now had something to focus on less he lose his foot holdings within Yevon.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Returning was simple there was very little celebration and a private conference between Maester Mika involving his suspicions of him were to be absolved till these new outer threats to Yevon were dealt with, Seymour agreeing though he knew Yevon to be a farce with it he held power and followers people he would need Maester Mika and he were in the same boat for now and until that changed their alliance would be far stronger till it was at last outlived.

Maester Seymour Guado born from the marriage of Maester Jyscal Guado and a Human woman, this marriage and child born of it was seen as an abomination creating strife amongst the guado and humans. Eventually the feud became too great Seymour and his mother were then exiled to Baaj Temple, living in near seclusion with each other Seymour would show proficient talent in magic and the art of Summoning.
His mother growing ill in seclusion with her song seeks a way to find a way for him to be accepted, soon she makes the decision for them to take the pilgrimage.
Upon reaching the end of the pilgrimage the truth of Yevon too much for a young child to bear found Seymour fleeing from his mothers sacrifice and dieing wishes to become Seymours final Aeon and defeat sin.
Seymour returned to Baaj Temple where he would live alone for years, his isolated lifestyle giving birth to his views on life and death.
He would soon realise the only way to truly end Spira's pain would be to Euthanise it, end its suffering by giving it death many years were spent on how. Eventually he came to realise how with the greatest power in Spira 'Sin' he would become it his knowledge of Yunalesca and the truth behind the final Aeon brought him to this conclusion to end the suffering of all those innocents with a swift merciful death.
For this he needed power and returned to Zanarkand accepting his mothers Aeon and then having it transported to Baaj Temple, hidden away Anima would be his own personal Aeon
He climbed the ranks through Yevon halted once he became high priest in Macalania by the presence of his father, the man who exiled him and his mother. Seymour resenting the fact his mother still seemed to defend and care about him despite their exile being on his command, still he received a merciful death at the hands of his son.
With his father out of the way he arose to become Maester, from that position he could begin acting out his plans with only having to worry about Wen Kinoc another Maester eager to grab for power. He played the games with a certain calm controlled manner always wearing his facade of polite softness.
Soon he would meet the one that would be his wife lady Yuna, daughter to lord Braska also a half-breed like himself part Albhed he found himself drawn to her. She showed spirit and resolve he had only seen his mother display, soon he began making arrangements for taking her as his bride, many would see it as a hope giving occasion the daughter of Lord Braska marrying the son of Lord Jyscal while fighting to defeat Sin. Many would assume it was a clever move to put him on top of Yevons power games, but this was more to Seymour she was his way to become Sin he truly felt for her be it obsession or love.
Having planned everything out carefully he proposed to here within a memory sphere of old Zanarkand within the same room as Lady Yunalesca and Lord Zaon, everything was going to plan despite the hesitant and annoyed guardians.
Everything was set in motion Guado spreading the word of the impending marriage, and even Lady Yuna's arrival to Macalania to accept his proposal. The it was all smashed with one act from beyond the grave by his father, he tried to reach out to Yuna only to have her guardians get in the way, and seeing only one way through it he would attempt and fail to end the protecters.
He died there but was reborn with greater resolve as he once again began obtaining everything he seeked, even succeeding in marrying Lady Yuna on Bevelles cathedral peak, despite it all being an act to send him he found himself liking her all the more for that resolve.
Revealing Yevon to Yuna he was part of Yevons true face, unsent Maesters ruled and lied to ease the pain of the world rather than give it no hope. Sentenced to Via Purifico Seymour would go to wait for their daring escape from the dungeon, although Wen Kinoc decided to follow him to make sure there was no funny busines.
There wasn't he was very serious when he killed him and absorbed his pyre flies to do battle with Lady Yuna's party again leaving him once again defeated, and them once again fleeing.
It wasn't till Mt Gagazet till he revealed himself once again, having slaughtered many proud valiant Ronso warriors who barred his path, once again all in the name to win Lady Yuna to ending Spira's pain. By the end he revealed himself to the Son of Jecht and revealed to the party how Sir Jecht was sin, defeated but not yet sent he regathered himself.
That's when the game changed, Sin and Lady Yuna vanished new creatures started attacking and new players began appearing to the grand game, Seymour returned to Yevon halting the chaos in his chase of Lady Yuna.
Regathering his forces he began seeking out answers for Sin and Lady Yuna, but he also began his own plays seeking new allies in this great new expansion as visitors and invaders made their way onto the scene.
