Ignis Scientia

a character from a game

Ignis is a companion of Noctis and a playable character in Final Fantasy Versus XIII. He is a close childhood friend of Noctis and Gladiolus, acting as a strategist for the royal family. In the original trailers, he was frequently seen driving Noctis's car.

Ignis, much like Noctis, has a very serious and cool personality, something to contrast Gladiolus and their newfound companion Prompto. Not only that, but Ignis follows a similar fashion style to Noctis, wearing black leather jackets and such. Additionally, he wears glasses and has short, dark brown hair.

In the 1st Production Department Premier trailer, he advises Noctis to flee the city in order to avoid unnecessary casualties because he is not strong enough to defeat the attacks. Noctis later asks Ignis if he has come up with a plan to exact tenfold vengeance on their enemies, to which Ignis responds that he is going to find a way to return it a hundredfold.

He wields a katana or nodachi in battle, using attacks that strike multiple times or damage multiple targets, including an Iaidō-style attack. He is also good with assist-style attacks and can toss knives at enemies.
