Edgar Roni Figaro

|
Template:FFVI character Edgar Roni Figaro, or King Edgar, is a fictional character in the SquareSoft video game Final Fantasy VI. He is the king of Figaro, a strange castle, equipped with special engines making it able to descend and move underground. When Edgar and his twin brother Sabin's father died, neither wanted the throne; they both wanted the freedom away from the castle and its wars. They decided to toss a coin and the winner could opt for his freedom. Edgar, however, could not bear to see the heavy burden of being a king being laid upon his brother's shoulders, and used a double-sided coin and "won" the throne. Edgar gives the impression that he is allied with the Empire, but the truth is that he dislikes the empire and supports the Returners, a resistance group, secretly. He is a ladies' man and flirts with every woman he meets.
Edgar's special skill is the Tools command, where he uses a mechanical tool against his enemies.
The young king of Figaro Castle, ally to the Empire, and a master designer of machinery...
