Abilities learned from Alexander are listed below:

Final Fantasy IX
Alexander cannot be summoned by the player in Final Fantasy IX, however Alexander plays a major role in the storyline.



It is the Eidolon that Kuja is desperately seeking so he can overthrow Garland and become ruler of both Gaia and Terra. Alexander can only be summoned when there is a dire emergency, and all four pieces of the Crystal are gathered at Alexandria Castle. Princess Garnet and Eiko summoned it together when Kuja attacked Alexandria with Bahamut. Alexander defeated Bahamut easily with a flurry of holy light. However, Kuja tried to summon the Invincible so he could steal Alexander and manipulate the Eidolon for his own uses. This plan backfired when Garland appeared in control of the Invincible and used it to destroy both Alexander and Alexandria.

Unlike previous games where Alexander appeared, Final Fantasy IX gives more details to Alexander's nature. This is the first time where Alexander's Holy element is drawn out by four magnificent, seraphic wings. The Eidolon's immobile qualities are explained by its guardianship and attachment to Alexandria Castle.
