Rin (Final Fantasy X)



Rin (リン, Rin) is an Al Bhed merchant and entrepreneur who runs the various Rin's Travel Agency chapters across Spira in Final Fantasy X. He also persuades Tidus to learn the Al Bhed language. During the game, he reveals that he discovered Auron ten years earlier when he had been injured by Yunalesca, and offered him a place to stay for the night. After Home was destroyed, Rin began to use the money from his business to fund the rebuilding of Home. However, by the Eternal Calm, Rin redirected his funding to build "his own home." Taking advantage of the entertainment field, Rin created Sphere Break, as a source of entertainment in Spira during the Blitzball off-season. But, Rin has a much darker side to him in terms of Machina being the future and the Farplane energy, as he revealed when Yuna pointed him as the one behind the Mi'ihen Highroad machina attack. In the aftermath of Final Fantasy X-2, Rin got Shinra to be part of his big project.

Rin also takes an interest in Tidus' study of the Al Bhed language, at one point offering him an Al Bhed Primer if Tidus tells him his studies are going well. Once Tidus has found all 26 primers and mastered Al Bhed, Rin will be so pleased he can finally hold a conversation with Tidus in Al Bhed that he will reward him with 99 Underdog's Secrets.
