Garland

Garland is the primary antagonist of Final Fantasy I, depicted as an arrogant, power-hungry knight turned corrupted chaos entity who masterminds a 2,000-year time loop. He is characterized by immense strength, a love for battle, and heavy, brutal, and dark-elemental combat abilities across various appearances. Garland appears as a Warrior of Chaos representing the original Final Fantasy and opposes the Warrior of Light. As Chaos's right-hand warrior, Garland knows the war's true nature and its endless cycle, giving him an advantage above the other warriors. Confident he will be reborn no matter how often he is struck down, he enjoys the battles of the war and appears to attack the heroes several times and acts as a counsel to the warriors. However, Garland's true connection to Chaos and the cycle of war is not revealed until the game's final storyline, when the Warriors of Chaos act of their own volition and desert Chaos. This leaves Garland as the only warrior standing alongside the god of discord, when he reveals the truth to him. Garland's alternate outfit gives his armor a sepia color tone to give it a weathered look.
