Sazh Katzroy

Unreleased

Sazh Katzroy is a character from Final Fantasy XIII, a black middle-aged man with an afro dressed in tan. Described as a sympathetic and kind man who is easily moved to tears, he is accompanied by a baby Chocobo that is rumored to live in his afro. It is said that the bird actually accompanies him into battle, though if it plays a gameplay function is currently unknown. The baby Chocobo has only just been born, and can barely fly yet.

He knows Lightning from their time spent together serving the Cocoon Army. In an interview with the latest Shonen Jump magazine, Kitase stated that Sazh was modeled after the American singer Lionel Richie. In a later interview, it was revealed that Sazh will have the most lines in the game, and is supposed to be different from any other character in the series.

Sazh joins the party early in the game, and fights with two pistols. He can shoot with his guns from a range, but also use them in melee combat. Sazh has been said to have the most lines out of any character.
