Zalera

Zalera in Final Fantasy XII.

Heretic scion who wrapped the world in dark energies, seeking to take the souls of all living things unto himself. Created in opposition to Emet-Selch, Angel of Truth, and scion of light. Originally tasked with the judging of men upon their deaths, his soul was tainted by the curses of those who raged against the heavens, and seizing one of the gods' servants, a shamaness, as a hostage, he rebelled against his creators. Even now, in defeat, he clutches the shamaness to him in his right arm, and with the aid of her death-wail does he summon the soul of darkness to do his bidding.

Zalera the Death Seraph (死の天使ザルエラ, Shi no Tenshi Zaruera?, lit. Zalera the Angel of Death) is a recurring summon and creature primarily associated with Ivalice. He is associated with the zodiac sign of Gemini, the Twins. His element is death, and his color sign is violet. He is a hellish angel with a shamaness grafted onto his arm and is known for summoning undead to fight alongside him. He is also referred to as the Mithuna Ascendant, which is the Sanskrit name of its zodiac sign as used in Jyotish (Hindu) astrology.
