The Seeker of Power

grahf from square enix's xenogears..


Calling himself "The Seeker of Power", Grahf is the persona of Lacan that split off after Lacan made contact with the Zohar five hundred years before the start of Xenogears. Grahf is the personification of Lacan's will, but is not considered to be the "original" Lacan (i.e. the Contact). The Contact, instead, was reborn in the body of Fei; therefore, Grahf's goal is to merge back with the Contact, awaken the weapon Deus, and destroy all life. He came to the conclusion that this was the only path to freedom after his contact with the Existence as Lacan. Grahf learned the ability to pass on from body to body, thus granting him a form of eternal life.

Grahf discovers the new incarnation of the Contact in Fei when Fei is still a child, and attempts to meld with him. However, Fei's father, Kahn, attempts to stop him. During their battle, Fei was unable to contain the powers passed onto him by the Existence and released a force so powerful that both Grahf and Fei's mother were killed. Grahf then passed into the body of Kahn, thus forming a relationship very similar to that of Fei and Id. The other version of Kahn became the Wiseman. Like Id, Grahf possesses immense strength; however, he rarely fights directly, and instead grants what he calls "the Power" to defeated lesser villains, allowing them to challenge Fei again with enhanced abilities. This power invariably leads to madness, and their resulting destruction.
