Ifrit's Dominant

Ifrit's Dominant is a character in Final Fantasy XVI and its adaptation Final Fantasy- Twin Fires.
An amnesiac version of them is the main character in Final Fantasy XVIII, under the canon name Hiroshi/Hiromi. 
THIS CHARACTER CANNOT EXIST AS CLIVE HIMSELF IS IFRIT'S DOMINANT!
== Appearance ==
In the game, their design is generated from the opposite gender of the main character, and their name is Clive is the protagonist is a woman, while Sophie if they're a man.
In the TV show he's named Sadafumi Homura and looks very different from his game counterpart: his facial features are distinctly Japanese (since his mother, Taeko Homura, is a miko from Waloed), they have longer hair, a part tied in a top knot and the rest flowing down, and they have flame-shaped tattoos covering their left cheek. 
In Final Fantasy 18, their default looks are exactly the same as the ones in 16, though the player can customize their looks at the start of the game. Characters in the game still refer to them as "They who are not a Nazi" even if the player makes them virtually indistinguishable from a normal Japanese person (all Japanese people are called with the offensive term "Nazi" by American soldiers).
== Personality ==
As the Ifrit Dominant grew up amongst the commoners in the kingdom of Rosaria, they have suffered exploitation by the nobles and desperately want to change their condition. As such, they hate the hierarchic structure of the Rosarian society and want to abolish class differences. 
In Final Fantasy 18 they take the Shield's place as the game's silent protagonist. The only times they speak are when they remember their real name (canonically Sophie), and in the ending before sacrificing themselves to save Hironobu Sakaguchi's life. If the player romances Rosfield and goes for the bad ending, they'll also say "I love you" and "Goodbye, Hironobu. My world awaits me". 
== Plot ==
In the game, Sophie/Clive is at first used as a puppet ruler by conspirators, who are the Archduke's bastard child (they're the protagonist's long-lost sibling, neglected out of fear). They turn into Ifrit and attack Joshua, forcing him to transform into the Eikon Phoenix: as the protagonist watches, unable to do anything, Joshua comes near death. Joshua survives in hiding, but Sophie/Clive is now the new Archduchess/Archduke of Rosaria, and ultimately abolishes the nobility. 
They're the Alignment Hero of the route "Flame of Destruction", which leads to the protagonist and their half-sibling allying with the Kingdom of Waloed and killing Joshua, Jill and Seikang, and ultimately crushing the Holy Empire of Sanbreque and exporting the revolution. Their route's final boss is Alexander, the Eikon protecting Sanbreque, as the Sanbrequen Holy Emperor backs Joshua and the nobles in their coup against Sophie/Clive.
In the TV series, the attack is similar, however, Sadafumi Homura is the Archduke's bastard with a Waloedi miko (while the protagonist is simply written off), though he still retains his strong hatred for nobles. Then, they follow events from the Flame of Destruction route by themselves (and go completely evil since the protagonist isn't there to help them maintain their morality), along with the other route-exclusive party members.
In Final Fantasy XVIII, they have ended up in Japan, having lost their memories. They are found by the Moogle Mog and adopted by the Sakaguchis, whose youngest son Hironobu soon becomes fond of them. While they (and Rosfield) weren't customizable in XVI, they can be completely customized by the player in XVIII (justified as they underwent facial surgery to hide their identity from Admiral Rosfield), and they're mostly silent like Rosfield in XVI (aside from dialogue options and very little dialogue). They enroll in a military academy in Hitachi, Japan, and help resisting against the American troops led by admiral Rosfield and Cid Oppenheimer. As they and Admiral Rosfield fight each other, their memory comes back. Rosfield asks them to return to their world, but they ultimately summon Ifrit and strike at the Admiral, who responds by calling Bahamut. The battle is so violent that both the Ifrit Dominant and Rosfield die, but the American troops are forced to retreat from Hitachi, causing the MC to be hailed as a national hero and inspiring Hironobu Sakaguchi to create the Final Fantasy series.
