Appearances

Final Fantasy XII

Scion set by the gods to wield and manipulate the laws of this world, and with holy power lead mankind to order. Created in opposition to Fandaniel the Protector, scion of light. Desiring to bring order to all things, he joined with Ultima in her battle against the gods. He gave his body to the Thousand-Years War, and when his strength was spent, down into the burning inferno he fell.

Clan Primer Bio

Template:Enemy Hashmal is one of the five storyline espers in the game and is the fourth obtained in the main storyline. From his power of Earth, his color sign is Green. He is also referred to as the Simha Ascendant, which is the Sanskrit name of its Zodiac sign as used in Jyotish (Hindu) astrology.

Hashmal is found at the Pharos at Ridorana, guarding one of the platforms leading up to the Sun-Cryst. The Occuria undoubtedly sealed him here to protect the Sun-Cryst from intruders. He is the fourth of the five Espers obtained during the main storyline.

Hashmal's license costs 50 LP, and he requires two Mist Charge to summon.

Attacks

Gaia's Wrath

Roxxor: An Earth-elemental attack, and the only offensive Earth attack the player gets in Final Fantasy XII apart from certain weapons. In Japan, this attack's name was "Rock You". Its English name is likely a play on Internet slang for "rocks" (as in the measure of quality).

Gaia's Wrath: An Earth-elemental attack, and Hashmal's ultimate attack. Hashmal descends beneath the earth, landing on a rock amidst magma. He draws power into himself and then jumps, smashing back through the surface of the planet. His leap causes the earth to break into enormous chunks, smashing the enemies in range and unleashing torrents of lava.

In Final Fantasy XII International Hashmal can cast Curaja and Graviga, and has gained the Null Vitality and Piercing Magick augments.

Hashmal is dormant in the Leo Zodiac Stone, which is held by the leader of the Knights Templar, Folmarv Tengille. Folmarv plots to resurrect the leader of the Lucavi, Ultima, whose host was the Saint Ajora Glabados, with the Virgo Stone. He finds a new host for the stone in Alma Beoulve, and kidnaps her.

At the Airship Graveyard of the Necrohol, Ramza confronts Folmarv, who transforms into Hashmal to slaughter Ramza's forces and use their blood to summon Ultima, but upon being defeated, Hashmal sacrifices himself to resurrect his leader, and succeeds.
