"We're not here for the booze, are we? We've got a war to fight."

—Kiros Seagill

Kiros Seagill is a temporary playable character in Final Fantasy VIII. Kiros has a very caring personality and a sharp wit. He fights alongside his friends Laguna and Ward in the Galbadian army and helps him make decisions. He later quits the Galbadian army with Laguna and Ward.

At the start of disc two, Kiros is seen paying a visit to Laguna in Winhill. In this past experience, Kiros' conversations with Laguna reveal several details of the game's story.

Appearance and Personality

Possessing dark brown skin, Kiros sports dreadlocks at the back of an otherwise short-cropped haircut. While he is seen primarily in the uniform of a Galbadian soldier Kiros later wears a red bodysuit underneath bronze armor with gold wrist guards around each wrist. Personality wise, Kiros was the voice of reason in Laguna’s group. Always there to at least make an attempt in steering Laguna’s AWOL behavior, he is nonetheless loyal to his friends and is always looking out for their well being.

Trivia

• Some people have noticed that Kiros' victory pose is somewhat similar to what will become the Yevon prayer in Final Fantasy X.
• Kiros' weapon, the Katal, is a mistranslation of Katar, a one hand-sharp blade.
• The Katal also has a trigger like the Gunblade. However, the timing window is much smaller.
