Maduin (Final Fantasy VI)

Maudin is an Esper from the game Final Fantasy VI. He is most notable for being the father of Terra Branford.

Story
Maudin, like most Espers, was born and raised in the Land of Espers. The Espers lived a peaceful life, free of outside influence, and Maudin was one of the most trusted Espers. One day, however, a human girl, Madonna, came through the Gate to the Esper World. Maudin saved her, but she was asked to leave by the other Espers because she was a human. Only Maudin wanted her to stay, and they secretly fell in love. They gave birth to a baby girl, and named her Terra. Two years after, however, an army led by a man named Gestahl stumbled upon the Esper world, and his followers and he captured many Espers. Many of the Espers blamed it on Maudin for letting Madonna in. During the conflict, however, Madonna escaped with Terra. Maudin followed them out of the Gate. However, he was captured by Gestahl. Madonna, in her last breath, gave up Terra to Gestahl.

Sixteen years had passed with Maudin sitting in a test tube in the Magitek Research Facility. One day, though, the Returners rescued him, because he was the only one who could show a confused Terra her past. However, in freeing him, the Returners accidently turned him into Magicite which the Returners then posessed. He was still able to communicate, however, and was able to bring Terra to her senses. In the ending, Maudin ruptures due to the Statues, and thus Espers and Magic, being destroyed. However, he tells Terra that she may be able to live as a human if she is attached to someone or something.

Looking Ahead
