As one of the three remaining unsundered Ascians, Emet-Selch is a primary antagonist of Final Fantasy XIV, and in particular he is the primary antagonist of Shadowbringers. Along with Lahabrea and Elidibus, he is one of the driving forces behind the Rejoinings and hence the Calamities. His last incarnation was Solus zos Galvus; hence he is responsible for the Garlean Empire. He also had a significant hand in the development of the Allagan Empire.
