 Voice Actor (JP): Takehito Koyasu
Voice Actor (US): Kirk Thornton
Age: 35 years old
Height: 186 cm
Weight: 74 kg
>> Jade is a colonel from the Malkuth Empire, although many claim that he has the ability to get an even higher rank than that. He is a cunning man, despite his always smiling face. He is known by many as "Jade the Necromancer", and is feared by most of those he has already faced in battle. Some say he is the right-hand man of Peony the Ninth, Malkuth's emperor. He is also known for his excellent mastery of the Fonic Artes.
Jade may appear to some as an all-around obnoxious guy (and true enough, he actually is^^), but a lot of players appeal to this old guy. He even placed 2nd in the Third Tales Popularity Contest hosted by the Official Tales Channel. He's smart, funny (to a certain dangerous extent), and powerful. What more can you ask for? (Jade fan talking here, so don't mind me).
Jade uses spears in battle.

| >>SPOILERS!!! |
|
He is the inventor of Fomicry, a way of making the replicas. He, Nephry(his sister), Dist, and Peony were once students of retired Locrian General Nebilim. But because of his meddling with the impossible, he caused Nebilim her death. Nebilim was the first person that Jade actually looked up to. She was a Seventh Fonist, someone who has the ability to do something he would never be able to do. Although, as a kid, his curiosity got the better of him, so he tried to use the Seventh Fonon. This ultimately led to him accidentally striking down the Professor, and instantly killing her. He attempted to make a replica of her in order to ask for forgiveness from the replica, but since his skills were much too inferior back then, he only created a monster. This was the reason he gave up Fomicry research altogether.
