"Do be careful with those. For every task, there's a perfect tool."
—Jihl

Lieutenant Colonel Jihl Nabaat (ジル・ナバート Jiru Nabāto) is a character in Final Fantasy XIII. She is an officer in the Cocoon army, the commander of PSICOM, and is an enemy of Lightning and her allies. She wears glasses and blond hair reaching all the way down to her knees, and wields a high-powered sniper rifle and a cane.

Jihl was designed by Nao Ikeda, who also designed the members of Team Nora.

[edit] Story

Jihl has both political and personal motivations for opposing Lightning's group. She graduated first in her class and quickly advanced in the ranks of the military to the position she holds as lieutenant colonel. She is in charge of daily policy and takes strategic command of the PSICOM soldiers. Jihl is described as intelligent, yet cruel and heartless, and she sees the l'Cie as subhumans. Yaag Rosch is her right-hand man.

In a scene from a trailer, she watches over as the captured Vanille is boarded to an airship along with a coffin. In the last trailer, she's shown interrogating the captured Vanille and Sazh Katzroy, and saying that the Sanctum will use Sazh's crystallized son, Dajh Katzroy as a monument to "the tragic hero who saved Cocoon."
