Vaan

Vaan is a 17 yearold orphaned Hume street urchin who lost his parents in a plague when he was 12 years old. His only brother Reks died two years prior to the start of the game during the Archadian invasion of Dalmasca. He makes a living as Migelos assistant running various errands for him while at the same time pickpocketing from Archadian soldiers while claiming to take back what is Dalmascas. He is a cheerful and energetic boy. Vaan dreams of someday becoming a sky pirate in command of his own airship. He trains to meet this goal by killing dire rats in the sewers of Rabanastre on a daily basis for which Dalan gave him the nickname Vaan Ratsbane. Despite nominally being the main protagonist the majority of the story focuses on the events and conflicts of the world as a whole and of Ashe rather than Vaans individual problems with his character instead used as a narrative device.
