Piet

Piet is a non-player character in Final Fantasy VIII. He is one of the researchers onboard Esthar's Lunar Base, and possibly a medical staff too. He basically acts as Squall's tour guide on the base when Squall and Quistis arrived to find a way to wake an unconscious Rinoa.

Story
When the Lunar Base was engulfed by the Lunar Cry, Piet ordered the evacuation for the facility. He escaped with Squall and Quistis onboard the escape pod, trying to no avail to stop Squall from rescuing Rinoa who was drifting in space after she was possessed by Ultimecia to break Adel's seal. Piet is later found in the wastelands of Esthar's Great Plains near the escape pod, hanging out with the Queen of Cards who somehow arrived there.

Trivia
Piet is possibly named after Fleet Admiral Firmus Piett, a character from the Star Wars. To date, Final Fantasy VIII has the highest number of Star Wars-inspired names, including Biggs and Wedge, Nida, and Martine who is named Dodonna in the Japanese version.
