* AmbiguousGender: No one refers to Amidatelion by their gender. Even the game manual says their gender is "Unknown."
* AnimatedArmor: Possibly - Amidatelion reveals a previously unseen ability of the Yukes, which is to transfer their soul to another armor body. Though it is unknown if this is a new Yuke ability, a crystal bearer thing, or an Amidatelion thing.
* {{Intangibility}}: Their power seems like this at first, but they really create portals to make it seem like attacks pass right through them.
* [[LastOfHisKind Last Of Their Kind]]: Yukes were previously thought to be extinct before Amidatelion appeared.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Amidatelion sacrifices themself by TakingTheBullet for Layle, warping Jegran's arm to be crystallized in his stead. Their only wish is for Layle to finish what they started in the Resurrection of the Yuke race]].
* SpaceMaster: They tend to fight this way, creating portals to warp objects and opponents around the battlefield.
* SummonMagic: Their power as a crystal bearer is this, and it manifests as ThinkingUpPortals. Amidatelion favors summoning Bahamut and several Zus.
* SuperSmoke: Another facet of Amidatelion's powers is to generate a cloak of mist.
* TreasureChestCavity: Amidatelion hides the Crystal Idol in their open chest cavity.

-->''"Those defeated in battle have no rights!"''
--->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RyuzaburoOtomo (Japanese), Creator/MichaelMcConnohie (English)
The high commander of the Lilty army, who is immensely loyal to TheEmpire and believes everything he does is in the best interests of his people - even if he has to keep the royal family unaware of his actions.
----
* AGodAmI: He starts thinking of himself this way, using the crystal reactor to boost himself to absurd levels of strength. He thinks that the Crystal Principle [[TheChosenOne chose him]] to distort the Principle (i.e, fate) as he sees fit.
* AmbitionIsEvil: He seeks power and dominion, though he already has one of the highest ranks in TheEmpire.
* {{BFS}}: He wields a gigantic wing sword that he uses for close quarters combat and ranged attacks with projectiles from it.
* BigBad: He is a ruthless man who doesn't care about the wellbeing of anyone except himself, and serves as the main villain of the game.
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler: He loses his crystal bearer powers after his defeat and falls to his death, but he tries TakingYouWithMe on Layle. Layle survives the fall, but Jegran has an UncertainDoom]].
* OneWingedAngel: True to ''Final Fantasy'' villainy, he transforms [[spoiler: by merging with the airship ''Alexis II'', thanks to its crystal reactors]].
* ThePreciousPreciousCar: He more or less has this trope with the Lilty Empire's airship, the ''Alexis II'', and [[spoiler: eventually ''fuses'' with it, becoming the FinalBoss]].
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: His [[spoiler: red crystal powers enable him to turn people into crystal and use them as a power source for the crystal reactors, similar to the red crystals in other ''Crystal Chronicles'' games]].
* RedRightHand: [[spoiler: His monstrous gauntlet conceals the crystal shard embedded in his hand, which allows him to crystallize anything he touches.
* SmugSuper: He considers himself [[spoiler: above everyone else, especially other crystal bearers]].
* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler: His crystallization ability effectively causes this. Combined with BodyToJewel]].
* WeCanRuleTogether: He actually offers this to [[spoiler: Althea, but she turns him down]].
