'''Strago Magus''', known in Japan as {{Nihongo|'''Stragos Magus'''|ストラゴス・マゴス|Sutoragosu Magosu|lead=yes}} is a character introduced in the 1994 [[role-playing video game]] ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' by [[Square Enix]]. Created by Akiyoshi Ohta, Strago is a [[Blue Mage]], a recurring [[character class]] in the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise that fights using magical abilities learned from enemy monsters. A descendant of warriors in a past tragedy, Strago tends for his granddaughter [[Relm Arrowny]], and later joins the protagonists to ensure that same tragedy does not repeat. He has since appeared in other games related to the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise, including ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia]]'', where he is voiced by [[Kenichi Ogata (voice actor)|Kenichi Ogata]].

Strago received mixed reception, regarded as a filler character and cited as an example of the development team's difficulty in juggling such a large cast. However his caring for Relm in a harsh world received praise, especially in light of cut content related to the character. He was additionally observed through the scope of his role as an elderly figure amongst the game's cast and the narrative possibilities it represented, but also the view on Japanese culture and their own approach to family structure.
