Storyline:
----------
RedXIII is a powerful beast with the ability to speak. His real name is Nanaki, and RedXIII is just the name Hojo gave him. Hojo attempted to mate RedXIII with Aeris, seeing how 'both are endangered species'.

RedXIII is the oldest member of the party with his 48 years old, but he is only an adolescent because he ages very slowly. His species can become over 500 years old, in fact RedXIII lives at least 548 years.. :)

RedXIII believed that his father, Seto, was a coward when his tribe was at war with the Gi Tribe. At Cosmo Canyon, RedXIII discovers that Seto didn't ran away but actually fought with his life to protect his family, until the spears turned him to stone.

Bugenhagen is an important figure in RedXIII's life. He even refers to him as his grandfather.
