I always thought of him as Armorall....

When I saw him on the cover, I was all like, Awesome! That guy looks Cool!
Then I played the game, and found out that he may as well not exist in terms of the story, and I was seriously dissapointed.

He would be cool if he was like a Shadow kind of character. He's there sometimes, and not others, and you never know if he's just gonna wander off... that was cool. Then later you just get to keep him.

He most certainly would fit that role, but as it is, he's not nearly unpredictable enough. If his hatred of Zidane had escalated into anything constructive in terms of story, like if there was a sidequest or two centered around him, or even something in the main story, then he'd be far better placed. But As he is, I don't think he really belongs.

This is also how I feel about most of the characters in FF7. But thats a rant for another time.
