Minwu: countering the 'white mages are pussies' argument since 1988.

Artwork by Yoshitaka Amano of Minwu, from Final Fantasy II, the first White Mage to be a named character in the series. Hailing from the town of Mysidia, Minwu served as the personal healer of the Royal Family of Fynn. After the Empire forced them out of the kingdom, Minwu helped the Rebellion establish themselves in Altair, where Firion, Maria, and Guy eventually end up.

Minwu is one of the several temporary playable characters in FFII. When he joins the party, his magical abilities far exceed anything the main characters have yet to achieve, even though his physical abilities are not nearly as powerful.

Because of its nature in the game, Minwu is the only white mage in the series to be able to cast the Ultima spell.
