How many Legatus are there?

[Majidah]

Nael was in charge of the VIIth Legion.

Gaius is in charge of the XIVth Legion.

Does it mean there are 12 more legions we have not encountered yet, and each posses a Legatus of their own?

And if so, can we expect 12 more awesome judge like characters?

update:

The imperial army is composed of large-scale units known as legions. Of the fourteen such units believed to exist, it is the VIIth Imperial Legion, commanded by Legatus Nael van Darnus, that currently threatens our hearths and homes.

According to our sources, each legion is comprised of ten infantry battalions known as cohors. These cohors are further broken down into three companies, or manipuli. Finally, a manipulus consists of two platoons, or centuriae.

I just remembered that lodestone update.

So ... 12 more unknown legatus then? o_o;

[Shougun]

Nael = KO

Hildibrand = Neo Deus Deus Nael... soo 13 if you count the dead...

[KiriA500]

One million!



Honestly though, I have no clue.

[Lirion]

Maybe they are like Jecht from FFX, just giving themselves a random number because it sounds cool.

lol I thought for a second maybe it was hereditary, the number, or something like that. But then I remembered that lodestone update, which I added to the OP. It is confirmed that 14 legions exist.

Ah nice. Well I guess they're 13 now. :P

[Punainen]

As long as at least one of those Legatus are a Lalafell, I'll be happy.

[Felis]

13 Legatus.
Gaius is number 14 and Nael is dead

[Colino]

There's one for each numbered FF game, each representing some sort of connection.

Van Darnus was the 7th and his storyline had heavy connections with FF7.

[Felis]

Van Darnus was the 7th and his storyline had heavy connections with FF7, the 14th Legatus is the Emperor himself of course.

Gaius is not the emperor. The emperor name is Solus zos Galvus

Description about Gaius:

The Black Wolf

Gaius van Baelsar

"Unworthy is the ruler whose subjects seek the solace of false gods."

Legatus of the XIVth Legion, the imperial force currently occupying Ala Mhigo, van Baelsar is possessed of a natural flair for wartime command equaled perhaps only by his sensibilities as a governing administrator. Among his numerous accomplishments is the conquest of five enemy cities, the political conversion of which he also oversaw. In subjugating Ala Mhigo, van Baelsar employed subterfuge to stoke the fires of civil unrest, a masterstroke which led to the nation's capture without the need for a protracted siege. However, the unanticipated appearance of a primal shortly thereafter prompted the Empire to halt the legion's advance. The legatus has since remained in Ala Mhigo, where he rules as an imperial viceroy.
Motto: He who cannot preserve the sovereignty of his nation is unfit to rule it.
Weapon: Heirsbane―a gunblade said to have spilled the blood of nine aspirants to the crown.

He is the imperial viceroy of Ala Mhigo, after he conquered the city. But he is not the emperor.
