Sareel Ja (Final Fantasy XIV)

Sareel Ja is a non-playable character in Final Fantasy XIV. He is Tuliyollal's palace seer. During the rite of succession, Sareel Ja chose to support the First Promise Zoraal Ja, who is the natural son of Dawnservant Gulool Ja Ja.
== History ==
Twenty years before Tuliyollal's rite of succession, Sareel Ja was the one who wrote the letter dictated by Gulool Ja Ja to Galuf Baldesion to study the golden city. Sareel Ja himself didn't take part in the expedition, but he became very intrigued by the city.
During the rite of succession, Sareel Ja chose to support Zoraal Ja. However, his ulterior motive was to gain access to the golden city and its secrets himself. When Zoraal Ja knocked down Bakool Ja Ja after he tried to steal his artisan for the Moblins, Sareel Ja advised him to let Bakool Ja Ja live, as he can yet serve a purpose. This eventually led Bakool Ja Ja to kidnap Wuk Lamat.
When Bakool Ja Ja released Valigarmanda from its icy prison, Sareel Ja advised Zoraal Ja to leave the beast and instead continue to the next feat of the rite. Against his advice, Zoraal Ja decided to challenge the tural vidraal.
In Yak T'el, Sareel Ja presented Zoraal Ja's and Bakool Ja Ja's take on xibruq pibil, but as it missed a key ingredient, they failed, despite Sareel Ja's protests. Even after Zoraal Ja was disqualified from the rite by Zereel Ja, he still supported him.
After the rite concluded on Wuk Lamat's victory, Sareel Ja and Zoraal Ja ambushed Ketenramm and stole keystones that he had to gain access to the golden city gate in Skydeep Cenote. When they discovered the gate, Sareel Ja heard a voice from the other side, who promised them power in exchange for opening the door. Sareel Ja had stolen an artifact from Tuliyollal palace, which Gulool Ja Ja had brought there for safekeeping twenty years ago, believing the artifact held significance to the golden city. When Sareel Ja was finally about to achieve his ambition, Zoraal Ja coldly murdered him, calling him a useless tool, like he had told Zoraal Ja back in Earthenshire.
== Characteristics ==
=== Appearance ===
Sareel Ja is a Boonewa Mamool Ja, but unlike many other Boonewa, his scales are more reddish than blue.
=== Personality ===
Sareel Ja is ambitious and after personal power, which he thinks he can acquire by supporting Zoraal Ja in his bid as the next Dawnservant. The advice he gives to Zoraal Ja during the rite is often immoral and sycophantic, as he is only concerned about gaining access to the Golden City and acquiring the great power it is said to possess. Sareel Ja is also willing to employ devious and treacherous means to ensure Zoraal Ja wins the rite, such as utilizing Bakool Ja Ja to sabotage Wuk Lamat's efforts to ignoring the threat of a freed Valigarmanda to give himself and Zoraal Ja the opportunity to get ahead of the other claimants. 
In truth, Sareel Ja merely sees Zoraal Ja as means to an end and is not truly loyal to the First Promise. Ironically, Sareel Ja's ambition would eventually lead to his downfall, as this blinded him to Zoraal Ja's even greater ambition and Zoraal Ja didn't hesitate to kill him after he had served his purpose in finding the Golden City.
