Vaan is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. He is also a secret playable character in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift and appears in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy representing Final Fantasy XII.
An orphan street thief hailing from Rabanastre in the Kingdom of Dalmasca, Vaan begrudges the Archadian Empire for the death of his brother, Reks, and the subjugation of his homeland. He dreams of owning an airship and being a sky pirate free to travel Ivalice. When his attempt to steal from the Royal Palace of Rabanastre goes awry, he becomes entangled in a conflict that could decide the fate of Dalmasca.
Vaan does not play a large role in the Final Fantasy XII story, instead being a viewpoint and foil, observing and contrasting the actions of others who influence the unfolding events more directly.
Dissidia Shadowgate[]
After he died as he was sealing the Rift in the 12h cycle, he wound up within Stormhaven with several other warriors. He eventually reunited with Terra and he accepted his last mission to infiltrate Shadowgate and defeat the warlock lord before rising the Behemoth. He didn't do much other than collecting spheres and experimented with them. From freezing a lake infested by sharks, to shattering the center mirror which unveiled a room leading to a firedrake. Then, he had a bright idea on extinguishing the endless flames with the ice sphere, which in turn left the drake vulnerable to the heroes' weapons.
Eventually, he retained his deeper memories before he failed to defeat the Behemoth, then Firion made things right. He wound up with Penelope at a wrecked though operational airship. He wanted to achieve his dream as a sky pirate and fly to different worlds, even meeting Terra somewhere.
