[edit] Appearances
[edit] Final Fantasy VI
Maduin an Esper from the game Final Fantasy VI. He is most notable for being the father of Terra Branford.
Maduin, like most Espers, was born and raised in the Land of Espers. The Espers lived a peaceful life, free of outside influence, and Maduin was one of the most trusted Espers. One day, however, a human girl, Madeline, came through the Gate to the Esper World. Maduin saved her, but she was asked to leave by the other Espers because she was a human. Only Maduin wanted her to stay, and they secretly fell in love. They gave birth to a baby girl, and named her Terra. Two years after, however, an army led by a man named Gestahl stumbled upon the Esper world, and his followers and he captured many Espers. Many of the Espers blamed it on Maduin for letting Madeline in. During the conflict, however, Madeline escaped with Terra. Maduin followed them out of the Gate. However, he was captured by Gestahl. Madeline, in her last breath, tried to stop Gestahl from taking Terra away, but failed.
Sixteen years had passed with Maduin sitting in a test tube in the Magitek Research Facility. One day, though, the Returners rescued him, because he was the only one who could show a confused Terra her past. However, he was near death by this point due to the Empire's experiments, and he (along with the other Espers there) decided to become Magicite, which the Returners then posessed. He was still able to communicate, however, and was able to bring Terra to her senses. In the ending, Maduin ruptures due to the Warring Triad, and thus Espers and Magic, being destroyed. However, he tells Terra that she may be able to live as a human if she is attached to someone or something.

[edit] Trivia
- A body armor is named Maduin Gear in Final Fantasy XII.
- In Dissidia Final Fantasy, Terra's ultimate weapon is known as Maduin's Horn (マディンの角).
- In addition, there is an item called Maduin's Fang. The description of the item says that a Moogle morphed into Maduin; though so far in the series there has been no way to replicate this apparent feat. However, this mostly likely a reference to Madeen, from Final Fantasy IX, who disguised herself as a Moogle.
- In the Dawn of Souls and 20th Anniversary remakes of the original Final Fantasy, Maduin is one of the automatic names the player can choose for the Monk job.
