Strago is the only person in Thamasa who professes any knowledge of the existence of Espers or magic.

Lore

Also known as Blue Magic, Strago's Lore ability allows him to learn the special attacks of certain enemies. In order to learn new Lores, Strago must be present and conscious at the time the desired skill is used by an enemy, by Gau, or through Relm's Sketch command. Furthermore, he must not have the Blind status ailment. Because Lores are magical in nature, equipping Strago with the Economizer makes all of the magic point costs equal to one.

Trivia

• Despite Strago being shown riding a machine of some sort in the artwork, no such machine makes an appearance on the game. In fact, Strago is never shown to even have any mechanical knowledge at all.
• Strago may be based in part on the ancient Greek historian Strabo. Both are elderly scholars with knowledge of history and lore.
• Strago is the only character in the game to share his name with Items: the Magus Rod and the Magus Hat.
• Strago was originally supposed to be named Stragos. However, constraints forced programmers to limit player characters to 6 letter names, and thus the name was shortened to Strago.
• Because Traveler (or Step Mine in the original translation) increases its MP cost as the game's clock counts higher, it will usually be the player's most expensive spell to cast, being over double the cost of any other spell if the game time is maxed out.
