He is a powerful spellcaster and can even crush Etro's temple with a large meteorite. He can perform incarnate summoning and become Chaos Bahamut, as well as the even stronger Jet Bahamut when enough chaos is present. When in the Void Beyond he can teleport, briefly stop time, and trap his opponents in dream worlds forged by their own desires. Like Lightning can contact Serah and Snow in a dream from Valhalla, so can Caius send messages to his past selves to bring together his scheme. As explained in Final Fantasy XIII-2 Ultimania Omega, even though Caius cannot time travel, once his preparations are complete the place and time of his plan will become so badly affected by the chaos he will be able to enter there from Valhalla. He can open portals to immediately move to a different location, and enter Valhalla from the mortal world. As Caius holds the Heart of Chaos, Etro's own heart, he can command the powers of chaos itself, the mysterious energy that flows from the unseen realm that Etro keeps at bay in Valhalla.Īs chaos has the power to warp the timeline, Caius manifests time paradoxes in an effort to change the fate of Yeul. Having been made immortal as an act of benevolence from the goddess Etro, he has gained knowledge of every possible scenario in the timeline and uses it to his advantage. With a millennium of experience Caius is a warrior of equal prowess to Lightning. In the end he appears to have accepted his fate and embraces his duty of staying by Yeul's side. He views his predicament as inescapable, and thus exists in a perpetual state of suffering. In Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Caius no longer has a single-minded goal and has lost his drive and become cynical, reacting to Lightning and the world's condition with spite. He is impressed by Serah's determination to protect the future, and although he is dismissive of Noel's optimism and refusal to kill, Caius shows fondness towards the boy he had taken under his wing after seeing his potential, and praises Noel for his growth. He isn't entirely above mocking or praising opponents, either, as he praises Lightning's prowess but also taunts her whenever she fails to push him back.Īs his goal draws nearer, Caius becomes emotional, ultimately revealing himself as a man consumed by sorrow and rage over the centuries to the point that he plots to destroy time itself. Noel describes Caius as someone who prefers to personally take action instead of having others do the dirty work for him, and says he is like "the calm before the storm," as he may remain silent until spotting a weakness in his enemies, and once he does, he will expose it without mercy. Starting with Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, the weapon is named Chaos's Revenge.Ĭaius is calm and serious, rarely displaying emotion, making it difficult to discern his thoughts and intentions. His sword appears in Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade, being simply called Caius's Sword. In Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Caius retains his original appearance.Ĭaius's sword was unnamed in Final Fantasy XIII-2. Chaos Bahamut is darker than the regular Bahamut and always has the wings, whereas the regular Bahamut only displays them in Gestalt Mode. The Etro script on the back of his armor translates to: "Undying Witness of Infinite Fate." It is said the eye on the hilt of his sword is the eidolith capable of summoning Bahamut, an Eidolon gifted by the goddess Etro when he served as a l'Cie.Ĭaius can perform an incarnate summoning, which allows him to fuse with Bahamut and become Chaos Bahamut. His form-fitting suit of armor resembles Bahamut, and he wears dark boots lined with white fur. His long hair is adorned with feathers and tribal beads and is held back with a headband. Are his crimes so great that even death will not take him? Profile Appearance Ĭaius is a tall, slender, muscular man with purple attire, hair and eyes. He should have died then, and yet he appears once again.
