[b]Jarek Phoenix:[/b]
A street urchin who rose from poverty to be the Court Wizard's apprentice. His master, Archmage Cid, is an eccentric old man who knows as much about science as he does magic, which means to say ALOT. Since his master calls him by his last name as a formality, everyone just calls him Phoenix. Cid is frustrated by Jarek's difficulty in learning new spells. So far, Jarek knows thunder, cure, fire, ice, exit, and antidote spells. Jarek also learned the goblin and chocobo summoning spells. For a twenty one year old man, that's many spells, but Cid believes that Jarek could be a much better mage. ((Jarek can only cast a chocobo or goblin spell twice per battle, since they are the most powerful spells he knows right now)). 

Jarek is street smart and actually became the Court Wizard's apprentice by stealing a magic scroll from Cid's pockets. When Jarek opened the scroll to see what spell he would be selling for whatever amount of money it was worth, he noticed that it was transformed into an invitation to become Cid's apprentice. He has atoned for early years as a thief trying to survive on the streets
