He is rude, blue-skinned guy with a very long hair and he really doesn´t care about you. He is also Monk with Samurai and Ninja traits and he knows all migty chakra. So what do you think about Amarant?

I think he is great character both battle- and storywise. Though his story has very little part in FFIX game but I guess his mysterious life is some sort of reference to similar FF-characters.

He and Eiko Carol are probaly references to VI:s Shadow and Relm, considering their last names. But their relationship isn´t probably same.

I´m interested what he started to do after IX. Did he continue being bounty hunter with Lani or did he just continued his training and started understanding other philosophies. What I like about Amarant that he stays mostly same throughout the game and doesn´t turn into friendly person.
