Though initially presented as eccentric bumbling goofballs first seen chasing after women that were clearly out of their leagues, these long haired gunslingers were eventually revealed to be highly charismatic leaders and surprisingly insightful strategists to boot. Case in point, Laguna is the president of the most technologically advanced nation on the planet, whilst Olivert is a high ranking prince from the most influential empire on his continent.

While their over the top antics have landed them in trouble on many occasions, much to the frustration of their closest comrades, the two of them are still looked up to by their people for their effective leadership skills and strong sense of justice. Their actions proved instrumental in the eventual defeats of the Sorceress Adel (and later Ultimecia) and Giliath Osborne, the greatest villainous figures presiding over their respective nations. Although Laguna and Olivert themselves were unavailable as party members for the finales of FFVIII and Cold Steel IV, the main characters ultimately answered to them for guidance and support.
