Jecht

Jecht
Jecht is a character from the role-playing game Final Fantasy X. He is best known as Tidus' father as well as being a major blitzball star in his hometown of Zanarkand. Jecht is tall, well-built, surly, and has a tendency for getting drunk. In fact, he once thought that a shoopuf was a giant fiend and attacked it with a sword, thus wounding the poor creature and causing Lord Braska (Yuna's father) to pay for the damage out of pocket. Auron told jokingly told this story to Tidus, to which Tidus grudgingly replied, "Sounds like my old man, all right."

Tidus claims he hates Jecht because whenever Jecht was around, his mother didn't pay him any attention. Also, Jecht was never much of a good fatherly figure. He constantly criticized his son and called him a "crybaby." He once said,"Cry, cry, cry: that's all you're ever good for. Jecht then disappeared one day while on a fishing expedition. He and the crew were never seen again by the people of Zanarkand.

To the peoples of Spira, Jecht is known as Sir Jecht, as the man who, along with Auron, accompanied Lord Braska on his journey to defeat Sin. He later gave up his life to become the Final Aeon, and as the Final Aeon, he defeated Sin, and the "cycle of death" continued. He and Braska were killed, and ten years later, Jecht's soul was trapped within Sin, to be controlled by the evil will of Yu Yevon. The only way Jecht/Sin could opperate of his own free will was when he heard the "Hymn of the Faith."
