Favorite Male Final Fantasy character?

Locke purely for nostalgic reasons. FF3 us cardridge (with the adapter =D good times to think back) was the first time i got in touch with FF and i was very young and it was only rental on or 2 days per weekend and i didnt go very far, so i got alot of his story compared to any other male in FF history at a very young age. (I eventually finished the game a few years later when i got the full game myself.)
Second would be Shadow which i cant really argue except for the fact that i found him extremely cool and found him being the man on the floating continent especially cool. I played that part for the first time at an age where i still was still strongly emotionally involved in the games i played.
