Ricard Highwind

Ricard Highwind, also known as Gareth in the Final Fantasy Origins translation, and Edward in the Dark Shadow Over Palakia translation, is a playable guest character in Final Fantasy II. Ricard was cut from the novel Final Fantasy II Muma no Meikyū.
He is the last surviving dragoon from Deist, and the first Dragoon in the Final Fantasy series. Dragoon went on to become one of the staple jobs in the series, many taking the name "Highwind" in either as their surname or as a name of an ability.
