Sazh is a friendly, cheerful man who is never without his curious companions—a chocobo chick and a pair of pistols. He is quick to banter, but also keeps a mature perspective on matters. Uncontrollable events have set him on his current path, but another purpose compels him to walk it. He is a middle-aged man with an afro who works as an airship pilot. After his wife died three years before the events of Final Fantasy XIII, Sazh has been looking after their son, Dajh.
