Seymour Guado

"Pitiful mortals...your hope ends here. ...And your meaningless existence with it!"

- Seymour

Seymour appears as a major antagonist in Final Fantasy 10. He is the Maester of Yevon, which is basically a priest. Seymour lost his mother when she fought a monster known as Sin, she sacrificed herself in order to destroy it, and grant the world of Spira ten years of peace known as "The Calm", before Sin would reform and start it's destruction once again. In the game, Yuna sets off to defeat Sin, and Seymour tries to get close to her. His plan is that Yuna will use him to defeat Sin, and thus ten years later, Seymour would be reborn as the next sin. He reasoned that Spira was trapped in a never ending cycle of death, and the only way he could stop it would to be to kill everyone, thus easing them from their pain. Seymour is revealed to be a dead person, that wasn't "sent", so he cannot be killed, but a summoner can "send" him to get rid of him.

Throughout the game Seymour tries to use people's emotions and beliefs to get them to join him. One example is when he told Tidus that by defeating Sin, his father would be freed, because his father, Jecht, had taken the place of Sin ten years prior.
