Biography

Early years

Seymour is actually half-Guado and half-human, as his father married a human woman in an attempt to foster friendship between the Guado and human races. However, many saw the boy as an abomination and Jyscal's decision to wed a human led to disunity in the Guado tribe. In order to avoid further strife amongst the Guado nation, Jyscal had his wife and son exiled to the island of Baaj.^[1] Afterwards, Seymour's mother — suffering from a terminal illness — gave her life in the Baaj Temple to become the fayth of the aeon Anima, believing that only in sacrificing herself for Spira's temporary peace (known as "the Calm"^[2]) against the malevolent creature Sin would her son be accepted by the people.^[3][4] Horrified, Seymour refused the aeon and returned to Baaj^[5], where he dwelled alone for years, becoming increasingly morose and cynical. In time, he came to believe that death was the only freedom from the suffering of life, and that it would be in everyone's best interests to die and thus developed a Messianic complex.^[6] But to achieve his aims, he had to have a power greater than Anima, whose power he eventually accepted, over even all of the aeons combined.^[5] // Spira ) is the world in which the role-playing games Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 take place. ... // Spira ) is the world in which the role-playing games Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 take place. ...

At eighteen years of age, during High Summoner Braska's Calm, Seymour's exile was revoked and he was summoned back to Guadosalam, the capital of the Guado nation, where he was then ordained as a priest of Macalania Temple.^[7] Seven years later, he returned to Zanarkand to accept Anima's power, and then had its fayth statue transported to Baaj Temple, which he revisited several times while deciding if he should carry out a plan he had devised.^[8] Due to his years of loneliness and ever growing morbid philosophy, Seymour had concluded that his duty to Spira and release them from the painful prison which he believed life to be. As a result, he knew he would need a power greater than all of the aeons combined; he saw Sin as Spira's only hope.

Two years later, just before Tidus washed up at Baaj early in Final Fantasy X, Seymour murdered his own father Jyscal, ascending to the position of leader of the Guado nation and inheriting his position as one of the four Maesters of Yevon.^[10][11] In Luca, his eyes fell on Yuna, daughter of High Summoner Braska, and immediately became interested in her.

Seymour agreed to help, allowing Baralai to go into hiding until such a time as it was safe for him to openly reveal himself.^[12] Once Yuna and her guardians finally arrived, Seymour used a sphere containing memories of Zanarkand collected from the Farplane to woo Yuna.^[13] He then asked Yuna to marry him, seemingly in order to further unite Spira, as they both had mixed parentage, being the half breed of a human and another race.^[14] Final Fantasy X-2 ) is a console role-playing game (RPG) developed and published by Square Enix Co. ... // The following is a list of major and minor characters from the Square Enix role-playing video game Final Fantasy X-2. ... // Spira ) is the world in which the role-playing games Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 take place. ...

There, Seymour forced Yuna into marriage. After she tricked him into believing that she will marry him — a ploy intended to allow her to get close enough to him to send him — her guardians attacked Bevelle in a rescue attempt and were quickly apprehended, leaving Yuna with no option but to marry Seymour or sacrifice her guardians. Yuna and her guardians were soon put on trial and convicted of high treason, sentenced to death in the winding, fiend-infested halls of the Via Purifico. They soon escaped from this fate, however, and confronted Seymour, who revealed his murder of Maester Kinoc and his plans for Yuna — to turn him into the next Sin so that he may kill all living things and grant them what he believes to be the highest favor imaginable.

Seymour, refusing to allow them to harm Sin, used the monster's power to become Seymour Omnis. However, he was defeated and was finally sent to the Farplane by Yuna, departing with the ominous warning that Spira's sorrow will continue, which came true during the events of Final Fantasy X-2.^[18] // Spira ) is the world in which the role-playing games Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 take place. ...
