General Safeiroth is not just a name mentioned in the Ultimania. His first known appearance dates back to the E3 2013 trailer of Final Fantasy Versus XIII / Final Fantasy XV . During the invasion of Insomnia, a mysterious blond officer in a white uniform can be seen standing alongside the Emperor of Niflheim. The same character also appears in abandoned storyboards, where he is shown taking part in the invasion of Altissia. Years later, the Final Fantasy XV Ultimania revealed that a character named General Safeiroth (サフェイロス将軍) was originally intended to appear in the story before being removed from the game. Regarding him, the book states: "The letters 'SAF' seen on the Imperial Army's landing craft and other military equipment are a symbol representing General Safeiroth's forces, as he was originally planned to appear in the game. Although the character was ultimately removed, the symbol was retained as the emblem of a famous general in the Empire's history....
