Vaan

Vaan is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy XII and its spin off sequel, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings.
An orphan street thief hailing from Rabanastre in the Kingdom of Dalmasca, Vaan hates the Archadian Empire for the death of his brother, Reks, and the subjugation of his home, and dreams of one day owning an airship and being a sky pirate to be free to travel the world adventuring. However, when his attempt to steal from the Rabanastre palace goes awry, he becomes entangled in a world-scale conflict between the Archadian and Rozarrian Empires that could decide the fate of Dalmasca.
Vaan does not play a large role in the game's story, instead being a viewpoint and foil, observing and contrasting the actions of the other characters, playable and non, that influence the events unfolding around them more directly.
He was voiced by Kouhei Takeda in Final Fantasy XII and Kenshō Ono in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy in the Japanese version, and by Bobby Edner in the English version.
==Appearance==
Like many other Dalmascans, Vaan has tanned skin, blond hair (shown in-game as grayish white), and gray eyes. Due to his homeland's hot climate, he wears a loose cropped open metal vest held together by a pendant over his chest. According to the manga, it once belonged to his brother. His dark pants are held up by a red ribboned sash belt and are tucked into a pair of steel boots that come up to his knees. Vaan's style is in the fashion of other Dalmascans.
His appearance Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings remains identical, while his Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift appearance adds a large-collared white shirt beneath his cropped vest and several metal accessories on his side. The ornament on Vaan's waist at his Tactics A2 artwork resembles the Galbana airship from Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings.
==Biography==
Vaan is an energetic street urchin living in Rabanastre who talks big about rebelling against the occupying Empire and becoming a Sky Pirate. He is an orphan, his parents having died from the plague when he was young, and lives with Penelo at Migelo's house. When he sneaks into the royal palace and steals an incredibly rare (and significant) piece of magicite, he becomes entangled in the uprising against the Empire.
