Squall Leonhart

Squall Leonhart is the protagonist from Squaresoft's (now Square Enix) role-playing game Final Fantasy VIII. He was designed by Tetsuya Nomura and Yoshitaka Amano, with heavy influences coming from game director Yoshinori Kitase. As the lead character of Final Fantasy VIII, most of the game is seen from Squall's perspective. Squall's Limit Break (special move) is Renzokuken, which is a series of four to eight slashes preceeding one of four finishing moves.
In the game, Squall is a 17 year old student at Balamb Garden, a prestigious military academy for elite mercenaries known as "SeeDs."[1] As the game's story progresses, Squall becomes friends with Quistis Trepe, Zell Dincht, Selphie Tilmitt and Irvine Kinneas, and falls in love with Rinoa Heartilly. These relationships — combined with developments in the game's plot — gradually turn him from a loner to an open and caring person.[1]
Squall has appeared in several other games, such as Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, and Chocobo Racing. His weapon, the gunblade, also appears in other works.
