"The Thief is quick of movement and nimble of limb."
—'Dawn of Souls' Instructions

The Thief was the crafty pickpocket of the Warriors of Light. After completing the Citadel of Trials, Bahamut the Dragon King upgraded him to the rank of Ninja. Unlike most other games of the series, the Thief cannot steal in the original Final Fantasy, but is a valuable asset to the party for his ability to successfully flee.
