People: Hope Estheim

Hope Estheim is a young leader within the Academy. Along with Lightning and Snow, he was also one of the former l'Cie responsible for saving Cocoon.

Hope studied tirelessly and skipped several grades in the pursuit of his degree. He has been part of the Academy since its inception, and rose to the top of its leading research team within a few short years.

From his experience with fighting fal'Cie, Hope has developed a strong belief that scientific knowledge will be the key that grants mankind independence. The young Estheim has gained attention as the main advocate of the Academy's ideals.

People: Sazh Katzroy

Sazh is one of the former l'Cie responsible for protecting Cocoon. With a chocobo chick as his constant companion, this courageous father threw himself into battle to rescue his son, Dajh, from a fate worse than death.

In his regular occupation, Sazh works as a top-class pilot. He continued to fly airships after the fall of Cocoon, but one day he simply disappeared along with his son.

People: Alyssa Zaidelle

Alyssa has been promoted to Hope's main assistant, and is the foremost researcher in the field of Time Gates and paradoxes. It was her report on the events that took place in the Bresha Ruins in 5 AF that caught Hope's attention and led to her rapid rise in the Academy.

There are some who believe she is using Hope to further her own ambitions, but her knowledge of spacetime theory is such that the young director entrusts her with an entire branch of research.

History and Myth: Oracle Drives

Oracle Drives are ancient image capturing devices found across the breadth of Gran Pulse. They appear to hold the visions seen by the Paddraean seeress. Images that depict the future as seen from that time have been proven to be accurate.

An Oracle Drive was discovered near the Paddraean Ruins by Hope and his team of researchers. Due to the appearance of several gates in the area, the scientists are focusing on the relationship between the drive and the paradox effect.

History and Myth: The Farseers

Centuries in the past on Gran Pulse, a people known as the Farseers built the prosperous city of Paddra. They flourished under the guidance of the seeress, whose predictions of the future guided the growth of their civilization.

After the War of Transgression that took place between Cocoon and Pulse, it is thought that the Farseer civilization died out. Another theory suggests that the people of Paddra became a nomadic tribe, and still roam the wilds of Gran Pulse.
