Cyan Garamonde is a Samurai from Final Fantasy VI.
A warrior shows no mercy.
Dissidia Final Fantasy, Samurai Lore
The Samurai (侍 or サムライ, Samurai?) is a recurring job in the Final Fantasy series.
Profile
Samurai are often depicted wearing traditional Japanese attire. Their weapon of choice is the katana, but are commonly able to equip shields and heavy armor as well. Samurai abilities vary between games, but their Eastern styled techniques make for technical and "body-and-soul" attuned based abilities to accentuate a most supporting and enhancing edge to a powerful physical fighting role. A signature ability of theirs is Gil Toss, which allows them to damage their opponents by throwing money at them. They also focus on abilities with mobility and tactical advantage to gain the upper hand in battle, to nullifying attacks, crippling enemies by lowering their stats, and even to a degree of mystical abilities for magic based effects. Bushido has only appeared in three games in the series, but in those three times it is an ability attributed to the Samurai.

Samurai were the military nobility of medieval and early-modern Japan. They were not just great swordsmen, but also powerful horse archers and martial artists of other fields. Though their status was that above commoners, samurai were bound to forms of etiquette and a way of life known as Bushido, stressing honor to one's devoted and preparing oneself in the face of death.
