- "I wonder... If the people I loved were still around, would things be... different?"
- — Mikhail
Mikhail (Japanese: サタヒコ, Satahiko) is an antagonist in 异度神剑 2 and a non-playable party member in Torna ~ The Golden Country. He is a member of the secretive organization Torna. He is a Driver and is accompanied by his Special Blade, Cressidus. He is often seen with Patroka and seems attracted to her.
Mikhail was designed by Tetsuya Nomura, a lead character 设计师 for the Final Fantasy series.
Contents
Personality
As a child, Mikhail was notably shy and reserved, only slightly opening up to Milton and Lora. He often portrayed a cool and tough personality, though he was easily frightened by Mythra's gaze and Jin's personality. He shows little emotion towards the 其它, though Milton claims he was always smiling on the inside. As an adult, he reveals that he did love everyone he met in Torna.
As an adult, Mikhail comes across as rather playful, acting pompously and dramatically when encountering the party for the first time. He considers himself a thespian and a great romantic. Despite this playfulness, Mikhail tends to maintain more emotional 魂控 and focus than Patroka in times of stress, as he is able to recognize when the two needed to retreat instead of resorting to anger. Mikhail supposedly has a deep hatred of the world, especially 人类, but this hatred is undermined by the regret he feels for losing the family he found in Lora and her party when he was a child.
Appearance
As a child, Mikhail was rather small, with wavy blond hair and large blue eyes. He wore a red traditionally Tornan shirt with paler patterns on it. As an adult Mikhail retains his blond hair and blue eyes, and now wears red 防具 in a similar style to Malos' although with rounded 肩. His appearance does not change between his Driver and Blade forms 其它 than his Core Crystal being revealed; it is purely blue and shaped like his infinity fan 武器, with three points.
Story
Early Life
As a child, Mikhail was sold to Porton Village from the unseen Titan Estham and never knew his family. He was the 唯一的幸存者 of the destruction of the village in the Kingdom of Torna after it had been looted and burned down by 其它 人类. Lora and Jin later find Mikhail and offer to take care of him. Once Lora and Addam join forces, Mikhail becomes good friends with Milton as well as many of the Drivers and Blades there, including Haze and Mythra.
Aegis War
Milton 盾 Mikhail in his last moments
Before the heroes travel to the core of the Tornan Titan, Mythra convinces Milton and Mikhail to stay behind in Auresco for their own safety. However, Malos later attacks Auresco during their battle. Mikhail is later seen carrying Milton's dead body on board an ardainian warship. Mikhail prevents Mythra from touching Milton's body, and Mythra transforms into Pyra out of anguish. Following the war, Mikhail continued traveling with Lora, Jin, and Haze. They travel to Spessia in 希梅莉 of meeting the remaining members of Addam's militia.
Amalthus, now appointed to Praetor, ambushes Spessia in an effort to destroy the Aegis. Mikhail is separated from Jin, Lora, and Haze in the 对立 and eventually flees to the Indoline Praetorium alongside many 其它 Tornan refugees. These refugees were fused with Core Crystals to become Blade Eaters. To keep this practice a secret, almost all of them were eliminated by Amalthus. Mikhail, however, was the lone survivor and was presumably rescued by Jin.
New Torna
Mikhail and his Blade, Cressidus
Five centuries after the end of the war, Mikhail joined together with Jin, Patroka, Malos, and Akhos as the new Torna; they stole Core Crystals from shipments headed to Indol and reawakened the Aegis with the help of Rex.
Mikhail and Patroka first encounter the party in the Empire of Mor Ardain, where they fight them in the Abandoned Factory as Bana escapes. Mythra uses Siren's power to revert Mikhail's Blade, Cressidus, to its Core Crystal. When Patroka is weakened by Fan la Norne, the new identity of Haze, the two are forced to retreat on the 麒麟马. He appears against the party once more at Genbu Crown to take the Omega Fetter; here, he is assumed to be a Flesh Eater like Akhos and Patroka, even though his core crystal shows no difference in color from that of a regular blade. He later guides the 麒麟马 down to the Land of Morytha; upon seeing Morytha for the first time, he starts doubting Torna's end goal, to which Malos tells him to worry about it later, implying that they should focus on rescuing Jin.
World Tree
Mikhail piloting the Marsanes
Mikhail spends much of his time working on the systems of the Marsanes, the sole remaining Tornan warship which acts as the organization's base, preparing them for the inevitable 对立 with Amalthus. At the World Tree, after Jin and Malos are dropped off, Indol appears and begins fighting the Marsanes. After a fierce battle, Mikhail orders Patroka and Akhos to follow after Jin and Malos, and transforms the ship into an enormous Titan-sized mech, which he uses to fight against Indol directly. Before Patroka departs, Mikhail confesses his love for her, much to her anger. When Mor Ardain 加入 the fight against the Marsanes, Amalthus assumes Mikhail is a Flesh Eater and tries to 魂控 him using Fan's ability; much to the former's surprise, Mikhail reveals that he is actually a Blade Eater: one of the few who escaped Amalthus's purge of them after the Aegis' War.
After Rex and Mythra destroy the amplification towers with the help of Siren, Amalthus releases a massive energy blast at them in rage, which Mikhail blocks with the Marsanes. After a brief conversation with Rex, in which Mikhail reminisces about his past and tells the party how much they remind him of his old friends in Torna, he charges at Indol and 锤击 the Titan into the World Tree. In a massive 爆炸, he sinks the Titan by sacrificing himself heroically.
Battles
Mikhail is fought twice as a boss during the story. He is first battled as a level 34 Driver 敌人 at the Bulge Harbor in the Old Factory of the Empire of Mor Ardain with his Blade, Cressidus, alongside Patroka. He is later fought at level 43 at the Genbu Crown in the Head area of the Kingdom of Tantal alongside Patroka and Akhos. This 敌人 drops no items.
