A Genome created by Garland, Kuja is the main antagonist in Final Fantasy IX.

Kuja is the main antagonist of Final Fantasy IX. His effeminate looks are deceiving, however, as he holds tremendous power.

Kuja is a genome, created by Garland on the planet Terra. Kuja was to be an "Angel of Death", but Garland made him to have only a limited lifespan. He would ultimately be replaced by Garland's second genome, Zidane. Kuja, feeling threatened by Zidane, cast him off into Gaia, hoping to kill him. As time went by, Kuja began fulfilling his Angel of Death ways. He started fueling wars, using Mist to manufacture violent soldiers and beasts to aid him and those he supplied with power.

Kuja is the main villain that the Final Fantasy IX crew chases throughout the game, where he leads them through various trials and maze-like areas. Ultimately, they fight him on the planet Terra, which culminates in him finally achieving the power of Trance. He then uses his signature move, Ultima, on the party, and then goes about destroying his home planet.

When the party safely arrives back at Gaia, they discover Kuja is after the Crystal, which is the reason for all life and existence. They go to Memoria (where Kuja is residing) and challenge him.

In the end, Kuja changes for the good, however it is too late, and he dies while Zidane tries to save him.
