Intelligence: A natural if naive leader, Vaan was always a go-getter from the start. He shows a great aptitude for combat, mastering a wide variety of weapons as proved by his many licenses and proves to be a highly successful Sky Pirate after the events of Final Fantasy XII, so much so in fact, that he is practically legendary for his prowess by the events of Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. He has also proved himself against the mightiest creatures in Ivalice, feeling all a matter of powerful beings including Yiazmat and Zodiark.
Weaknesses: A bit naive at first and isn't very worldly due to his impoverished upbringing, but this is greatly toned down in later appearances. He can be somewhat carefree and easy-going unless pushed
