Game Character:
Irvine Kinneas
Character Bio
Known to be quite the lady's man, no one does a better job of charming than Irvine who is always out to impress. After all, what woman can resist a "loner" with such a degree of confidence? Irvine's ability to flirt is matched only by his marksmanship, as he has developed a reputation as the finest sharpshooter in Galbadia Garden, with the ability to effectively utilize a variety of special ammunition. However, he is not immune to performing poorly under pressure.Little is know about Irvine's past other than the fact that he was orphaned at an early age. At some point he was adopted by Galbadia Garden where he trained to become a SeeD mercenary. Before actually being an official member of the elite organization of mercenaries, however, his sharpshooting skills were called upon in order to help General Caraway and other conspiring Galbadians assassinate Sorceress Edea before she gained too much power. Helping him were a group of SeeDs from Balamb Garden led by Squall Leonhart. After the undesired results of the attempt, Irvine stayed with the group in what would become a much more epic quest than any of them could have anticipated.
