- —Amodar to Lightning
Amodar (アモダ, Amoda?) or Lieutenant Amodar (アモダ曹長, Amoda Sōchō?, lit. "Master Sergeant Amoda") is a non-player character in Final Fantasy XIII. He is Lightning's superior and, according to the Ultimania, is 186 cm tall.
Nao Ikeda, who designed most of Final Fantasy XIII character cast, modeled Amodar after another Square Enix worker, Hideo Kubota, the game's character modelling director, due to a scenario writer's suggestion. Amodar is voiced by Dave Wittenberg in the game's English version and by Yūji Ueda in the Japanese version.

StoryEdit
Final Fantasy XIIIEdit
Amodar was Lightning's superior in Bodhum and a member of the Bodhum Security Regiment. He appears in Lightning's flashbacks. Amodar speaks to her in Bodhum while watching fireworks, warning her to stay out of the business concerning PSICOM's discovery in Pulse Vestige.
Encouraging Lightning to consider sending in a letter of recommendation, saying that she is "past due for a promotion", he advises her to think of her future and her sister, Serah. On the matter of PSICOM, Amodar appears disdainful of the way they handle their operations, telling Lightning that "nothing but grief" will come of delving into PSICOM business.

Added by IxbranAmodar appears in a downloadable content battle joining Lightning halfway through battle, he can then be recruited into the party after the fight.
In -4XX AF-, a duplicate of Amodar named Captain Cryptic can be found in random places on the map, and can be revealed using Moogle Search. He asks the player questions in the Captain Cryptic's Confounding Quiz, allowing them to collect a fragment (up to five altogether) once all questions in that encounter have been answered. Once they have all been answered, Captain Cryptic gives the player a message for Sergeant Farron, "Good Luck", which causes Serah and Noel to wonder if Amodar sent the duplicate, or if Captain Cryptic was an echo of Amodar that got turned into a duplicate.
