Lord Braska



Braska is Yuna's father, and became a High Summoner by defeating Sin ten years before the events of Final Fantasy X.

Braska was a priest of Bevelle who visited the Al Bhed in the hopes of furthering relations with them and the Yevonites. He fell in love and married the sister of Cid, the Al Bhed leader. When Yevon discovered this, Braska was cast out of the clergy, and his wife was similarly disowned by Cid. Shortly after Yuna was born, she traveled to Bikanel to mend the ties with her family, but her ship was attacked by Sin and she was killed. After this event, Braska resolved to become a summoner and defeat Sin to stop anyone else from suffering as he did. The priests of Bevelle and many other Yevonites looked down on him because of his choice of bride and half-breed daughter and did not truly believe that he could complete the pilgrimage. Braska chose Auron and Jecht as his Guardians, as they too were held in similar regard. After he sacrificed his life for the Final Summoning, a statue of him was raised in each of the Temples of Yevon in Spira. However, during the events of Final Fantasy X, a monk in the temple at Besaid tells the player that it took more than ten years for the temple there to receive a statue of Braska following his rise to High Summoner. On the slopes of Mt. Gagazet, Braska left a video sphere for Yuna, letting her know that whatever path she chose for her life, he would be proud.

Braska makes a minor appearance in Final Fantasy X-2, where he together with Auron and Jecht, give inspiring words to Yuna and the Gullwings in the final battle. He is voiced in both games by Takuma Suzuki in Japanese and Andy Philpot in English.
