His twin brother, King Edgar Roni Figaro, is the king of Figaro Castle.
Biography
Sabin won freedom to leave the kingdom in a rigged coin toss with his brother and became a master at martial arts training with the world-famous Duncan. He himself became a master learning the art of Blitz. Vargas, Duncan's son and student, became jealous of Sabin, believing Duncan would leave the school in Sabin's hands. Vargas attempts to kill Duncan and flees to Mt. Koltz, only to be defeated by Sabin.In the World of Ruin, Sabin is found in Tzen. Sabin is using all of his strength to hold up a collapsing house, and does so until the party rescues a child trapped inside. Having been given hope from finding one other, Sabin joins the party to search for their remaining friends. (This scenario is typically played out with Celes and Sabin alone, but it can be skipped until later and played with any party combination.)
Sabin was born on August 16th, making him a Leo.
In the game, Sabin is a strong fighter. His weapons and armor choices are somewhat limited but more than made up for with his high vitality and martial arts skills.
Blitz
Sabin's Blitz command can be used in battles to perform various martial arts techniques. They are executed by selecting the Blitz option and pressing a certain sequence of buttons, much like a special move in a fighting game. His different moves are:
- Pummel - Attacks a single enemy with a flurry of punches.
- AuraBolt - Attacks a single enemy with a beam of "Pearl" damage.
- Suplex - Leaps holding a single enemy and crashes them into the ground head-first. Does not work on all enemies.
- Fire Dance - Creates fire images of himself to attack the enemy party.
- Mantra - Heals other party members by the amount of life Sabin has, and cures status effects. (this ability is know as Angel's Whisper since the release of Final Fantasy VII)
- Air Blade - Creates blades that attack the enemy party for wind damage.
- Spiraler - Heals his party; removes him from battle.
- Bum Rush - Attacks a single enemy from all around for massive damage. This attack is magical despite the graphics, and can be enchanced by Earrings, Mg Power enchancing equipments, et cetera.
Quotations

- "You think a measly thing like the end of the world was going to do me in?"
- "Riiiiiight!" - World of Ruin, on airship
- "Worried? Can't wage war on an empty stomach!" - Phantom Train
- "I'm tired of this, thou art such a pain in the...confound it all, I'm starting to talk like you!" - Frustrated over Cyan's style of formal speech.

Music
In Final Fantasy VI Original Sound Version, Sabin shares a theme with Edgar, his twin brother; their theme is called "Edgar And Mash" -- disc 1, track 7 [sample] . (It is also the background music in Figaro Castle.) Their leitmotif is also found in the tracks:Sabin or Mash?
Many purists refer to the Sabin character as 'Mash,' a claim that is supported by the Japanese game text and Sabin's job class. Sabin's Japanese name (as displayed above) is マッシュ (Masshu), and therefore there is a legitimate argument against calling his name Sabin. In the Japanese version, his full name is Matheus, but he goes by the nickname Mash, which is far more suited to his rough-and-tumble character.Some people argue Mash and Sabin are entirely different people. In the Japanese, he is articulate and intelligent, but brash. The Woosley translation paints him as a bit more of a meathead. It seems most prurient to consider that both are aspects of his character. He may be less sophisticated than his brother, but he's obviously adept at handling a crisis and protecting people in need.
