Josef

Josef is a character and a temporary playable character in Final Fantasy II. Josef is a kind man who lives with his wife and daughter Nellie in the snowy town of Salamand.

When he is first introduced, he leads Firion, Guy, Maria and Minwu into Semmit Falls to find silver that is needed to make armor for the Wild Rose Rebellion. Later, when Hilda informs the team that they must obtain the Goddess's Bell, he joins the team and leads them through the Snow Cavern. After successfully defeating one of the emperor's henchmen there, a trap is sprung and a giant boulder was hurled towards the heroes. Josef sacrifices himself by holding the boulder off just long enough to let the others escape, but it is too much for him and crushes him.
