(Xezat Matias Surgate, ゼザ・マティアス・サーゲイト^?, lit. "Zeza Matiasu Sāgeito"), originally romanized as Zezae, and known as Zeza in the Anthology and unofficial RPGe translations, is a non-player character in Final Fantasy V.

Story

Xezat was one of the original Warriors of Dawn, along with Galuf, Dorgann, and Kelger. When he returned to his own world, after having defeated Exdeath, he became the king of Surgate. Much like Galuf, he could never get accustomed to the life of a king and so always addresses himself as "The swordsman, Xezat". Xezat sacrifices his life in order to allow the Warriors of Light to destroy a Barrier Tower, which was upholding a barrier around Castle Exdeath. His death had a great effect on Galuf.

Trivia

• In Final Fantasy XII, a Resistance Airship Carrier, Xezat Surgate, is named after Xezat.
• In the GBA/PSP/iOS remakes of the original Final Fantasy, Zeza is one of the automatic names the player can choose for the Warrior Job.
• Xezat, along with the other Dawn Warriors, has a trophy/achievement named after him in Final Fantasy XIII, "Xezat's Chalice".
