6★ | A young man from another world where sorceresses pass their power down through the ages. Squall is a member of the elite mercenary force SeeD and possesses a great talent for battle, wielding the difficult-to-handle gunblade with great ease.

7★ | A young man from another world where sorceresses pass their power down through the ages. Squall's antisocial personality doesn't prevent his raw charm from winning over others, nor does it prevent him from becoming a leadership figure for his classmates when a great conflict comes to Balamb Garden. Although he is determined to save those precious to him from the clutches of an evil sorceress, he eventually learns the identity of his true enemy, choosing to risk his life in battle to thwart her plans. |
