fanlistings
   are little websites where all the fans of a particular show, movie, actor/actress, singer, etc. come together for the only purpose of building the biggest listing of people all around the world who are fans of that subject. Simple and maybe useless, but highly addictive. This one, like manyMANY others, has been approved by The Fanlistings.org

WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD
   Cyan Garamonde is, as I said, a great character in the classic Squaresoft RPG that is considered by many the best installment of the infamous Final Fantasy series: Final Fantasy VI (FFIII in the US).

   Cyan is the most trusted, brave and powerful warrior of Doma. Also blessed with a life of happiness thanks to his beautiful wife and caring son.

   But Kefka decided to turn Cyan's world upside down, without even knowing it. In one of the villain's acts of supreme cruelty, he poisons Doma's river, killing almost everyone in the castle... including Elaine and Owain, Cyan's wife and son. Their deaths will make Cyan meet what hate really means. He then decides to join those who are fighting against the Empire.

why cyan?
   First, it seems I have a thing for brave knights in shining armours :P Apart from that, I felt Cyan was, if not the most, one of the best developed personalities in FFVI. He expresses a whole range of feelings throughout the game; if I dare say, more than anyone. He's brave and tough, but as a human who experienced an enormous loss in his life, he can be also fragile. And his personality evolves amazingly but in a realistic way: there's not an immediate happy ending for him, but a new life without those who departed, whom he'll never forget, and that will give him enough strenght to continue.
