—Artania as Garnet arrives in Lindblum

Artania (オルベルタ, Oruberuta^?), is Cid's minister in Final Fantasy IX. He greets the party when they arrive in Lindblum for the first time and quickly arranges for an audience with Regent Cid for them. Artania is 51 years old at the start of the game.

StoryEdit

Artania is the man who formally greets the party upon their arrival in Lindblum via the Cargo Ship. Upon recognising Garnet's pendant he immediately takes her to see Regent Cid.

Later, after Lindblum is attacked by Queen Brahne, Artania discreetly leads the party to Cid's chambers without alerting the Alexandrian Soldiers to their presence. Artania is often present when the party strategize their next move in Lindblum and offers advice and counsel when he can. He is also present when Zidane and Doctor Tot accidentally turn the Regent into a frog. He is frequently referred to by Garnet as "Uncle Artania".
