He is the retroactively appointed hero of the original Final Fantasy, seeing as the original game featured a cast of four template character classes chosen from a given pool of available classes: Fighter, Thief, Black Belt, White Mage, Black Mage, and Red Mage. The Hero of Light most resembles the upgrade version of the Fighter: Knight. He's given some backstory in Dissidia, but I'm definitely not the authority on that series.
