Meant to be the opposite of Zidane in views and morals about the world, and is just basically there to show that Zidane is right about his viewpoints- that others do need help and being selfish gets you basically nowhere. Could've been executed stronger, as after Ipsen Castle his character becomes pointless. There was no need for him to join the main crew.

I disagree that his character was pointless though, as he was there to show the opposite debate of Zidane's attitude, as alot of people hold Amarant's view on life, in reality- to help yourself before anybody else.
