Saphir

Saphir is the real name of Dist the Reaper, one of the six god-generals in Tales of the Abyss. He is constantly picked on by Jade, however, one can tell that Jade actually cares for Saphir. Saphir's love for Professor Nebilim drives him to use fomicry, forbidden technology developed by Jade Curtiss/Jade Balfour. During a cutscene revolving around the game's optional boss, Saphir is killed by the replica of Professor Nebilim. Fear not, Saphir is actually alive as the party completes the sidequest in Grand Chokmah.
