Summary
The Thief is one of the Warriors of Light destined to restore light to the Crystals and save the world from the wrath of the Four Fiends. A sticky-fingered realist with a talent for helping his allies escape from dangerous situations, he is outclassed in terms of raw damage output compared to his allies but makes up for it with his cunning and swift movements as the fastest of the Warriors of Light. After receiving the blessings of Bahamut, the Thief also gained the ability to wield low-level Black Magic and more powerful weapons, evening the playing field and allowing him to take the front lines more easily.
