Hashmal, Bringer of Order
Hashmal, the Esper of Earth, represents the Zodiac sign of Leo, the Lion. His face does resemble that of a large feline, but he is probably the most humanoid Esper in Final Fantasy XII.
He is also referred to as the Simha Ascendant.
Biography
From the Clan Primer in 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."
Location
Hashmal is found at the Pharos at Ridorana, guarding one of the platforms leading up to the Sun-Cryst. The Occurians undoubtedly sealed him here to protect the Sun-Cryst from intruders.
He is one of 5 Espers obtained during the main storyline.
