Appearance: Firion stands a close-to-average height of six feet tall, Firion isn't the most imposing of guys but also no shrimp by any means. He's well-built and pretty darn sturdy, with a wide chest and visibly thick arms. He's filled out already, no doubt about it. He possesses rather creamy-white hair that he keeps short aside from a thin ponytail down the back and brown eyes, as well as skin darker than the other members of his little adoptive family. He is quite a unique-looking person, really.
Firion wears very, very simple clothing in everyday life since his family was never the richest of people, and still tends to do so though he and the others are somewhat supported by Queen Hilda due to their service. In battle, though, Firion goes all out with a fitted blue-black chestplate, blue-black gauntlets, blue pants, silver greaves, and a blue cloak or cape that he keeps tied around his neck. He also wears some sort of strange little headdress thing on his head, in an orange-y color. The armor is fairly heavy.
Personality: Firion is, usually, the most down-to-earth guy anyone will ever meet. There is not an egotistical or outlandishly quirky bone in his body. In reality, he doesn't seem like a guy who can do the things he does. Heck, one might even call him shy in a slight way, though he has no problem speaking up when he knows he needs to. Adding onto his outright normalcy, Firion also seems to have a weakness for pretty women and has found himself either seduced by them with ease....a certain snake-woman-thing in disguise comes to mind...or lacking the up-front method needed to make a move on certain ones. He's actually kind of a dork, when one gets down to the nitty-gritty of it all.
Hurt something Firion cares about, though, and he becomes a brand new person, filled with passion and capable of feats that one would not expect to come from the everyday Firion. He proves to be a fiery, even angry combatant when it comes to his enemies. Firion shapes into a leader whenever he has a cause to pursue, able to rouse allies to his side, especially by leading through example. Firion may actually be at his most comfortable when he has a goal to strive towards and can put himself fully into an effort to achieve it. In his homeland, it was the cause of stopping the Empire to restore his home for himself and his friends. In the cycles of Dissidia, it was to end the war. Though still young, he has a full understanding of responsibility, and that's what made him so valued to the Wild Rose Rebellion. He knows what he needs to do, and he goes and does it.
History: [Thanks to FF wiki]
In the Japanese novelization, he was born in Salamand and was taken in by his adopted family after his parents' death. After his home is burned down and his adoptive parents murdered by the Palamecian Army, he is critically wounded by several black knights while fleeing Fynn. Upon awakening, he finds himself in the remote rebel stronghold of Altair, where he reunites with his close friends Maria and Guy. Upon realizing that Leon has been separated from them, Firion, Maria and Guy ask Princess Hilda if they could join the rebel army, since they have nothing left to return to.
Hilda refuses to let them in because of their young age, but allows them refuge from the empire so they can wait for Maria's brother, Leon, to find them if he survived. Instead of waiting, Firion, Maria and Guy go to Fynn to find Leon themselves. They find Scott, Hilda's groom to be, mortally wounded in the secret room of Fynn's tavern. He gives a ring to Firion to give to Hilda. Scott tells Firion to tell Hilda of his love for her and his regret that he will not see her again, then rethinks the request. Impressed by their accomplished infiltration of Fynn, Hilda lets Firion and his friends join the Wild Rose Rebellion against the empire.
Hilda gives the party their first mission, to locate mythril, a powerful metal needed to create weapons. The White Mage, Minwu, accompanies the party to Salamand. The town of Salamand is currently under the Empire's the control, and the men of town are forced to mine Mythril. A town native named Josef informs them of the townspeople's plight, but is unwilling to help, as his daughter Nelly is also a captive. The party heads to the mines, where they rescue the prisoners, along with Nelly after defeating the Imperial Officer. They return to Altair soon after with Mythril.
Firion leads a team to the town of Bafsk to stop the large airship, Dreadnought, from being completed. The party is too late and the Dreadnought is finished and attacks several towns. His party then retrieves the Goddess Bell needed to open the gates of Kashuan Keep, where Sunfire needed to stop the Dreadnought is located. Josef helps them get the bell by giving them his snowcraft and defeating the Adamantoise that guards it. After fighting Borghen, Josef sacrifices himself to rescue the party from a large boulder. After collecting the Sunfire, the party, along with Prince Gordon, witness Cid's airship being captured, where Hilda and Cid traveled to Kashuan. They rescue her from the Dreadnought and then destroy the engine, but not before Maria recognizes the Dark Knight of the empire is Leon.
Soon after the King of Fynn orders from his death bed that Firion's group contacts the Dragoons of Deist. Firion heads to Poft in search of a ship, along with Maria and Guy, and recruits a pirate named Leila, who offers to aid the party by bringing them to Deist so that she and her crew could rob them. Once at sea, her crew attacks the party and loses. Leila gives herself up and Firion allows her to join them.
At Deist, the party only find a mother and son in Deist, as everyone else has been wiped out, save for one Wyvern. The party places the last Wyvern's egg in a pool in the depths of Deist Cavern. After returning to Altair, they discover Hilda has been acting oddly and is eating mice. Firion enters her room alone, where she attempts to seduce him. The rest of the party bursts into the room just as she reveals her true form as a Lamia Queen.
After defeating the Lamia, Firion and his group head to the Palamecian Coliseum, where Hilda is being held captive. After rescuing Hilda, Firion, Maria, Leila and Guy participate in an attack upon Fynn, where they infiltrate the castle and kill the Imperial Commander, restoring the kingdom of Fynn.
Firion travels to Mysidia to locate Minwu. After finding he traveled to the Mysidian Tower, the resting place of the mighty Ultima Tome, Firion and his friends search for the Crystal Rod, a relic used as the key to the tower, which lies in the Mysidia Cave. However, in order to explore deep into the cavern, he needs a White and a Black Mask. After finding these artifacts on Fynn Castle and the distant Tropical Island, respectively, Firion heads to the Mysidia Cave and obtains the key to the Mysidian Tower.
However, when approaching the island where the Tower is located, Firion, Maria and Guy are swallowed by Leviathan. The party manages to escape from its bowels with the help of the last remaining Dragoon, Ricard Highwind. Finally, at the top of the Mysidian Tower, they witness Minwu sacrificing himself to acquire the Ultima Tome for the party.
After retuning to Fynn, they discover that a Cyclone that has been summoned by the Emperor is destroying towns. Firion leads a team into the Cyclone with the help of the newborn Wyvern and defeats the Emperor.
A celebration held for the Empire's defeat is halted by the announcement that the Dark Knight Leon has taken the throne after the Emperor's defeat. The party enters the castle using the recently deceased Cid's airship and confronts the power-hungry Leon.
In the middle of a confrontation with Leon, the Emperor returns from the dead, revealing his plan to destroy the world. Ricard holds him off while Firion, Leon, and the rest of the party escape. Upon arriving in Fynn, Hilda agrees to let Leon join the Rebel Army and tells Firion to keep an eye on him.
The last battle takes place in Pandaemonium at the end of the final dungeon, the Jade Passage. When the Emperor was killed the second time, Leon leaves the party because of what he did with the empire, but Firion tells him that when he is ready to come back, he will be happily welcomed back again.
In the novelization Firion and Maria end up together, although this is left ambiguous in the game.
