===Character profile=== | |||
Faba is a character first introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. He is identified by his signature sunglasses, and is very proud of his position in the Foundation. He sometimes refers to himself as the Aether Foundation's last line of defense. As Aether's branch chief, he takes on the role of helping direct projects and programs within the foundation, specifically those on [[Aether Paradise]]. Faba is a character who comes off as extremely prideful and arrogant, often bloating about his position and success, making it clear that he is above or below other people. He openly states he hates dealing and talking with children, often berating, belittling or even insulting children in front of him, including the {{player}}. Faba also admits to lying (or as he calls it, massaging the truth) in order to protect his position as a person. He has a habit of curling his beard. | |||
Like [[Wicke]], he is a branch chief within the Aether Foundation, with their superior being Aether's president, [[Lusamine]]. Despite the fact that Lusamine is his superior, he has a tendency to either mislead or withhold valuable information from her. Prior to the events of the games, he succeeded an unknown predecessor as Branch Chief. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, he is a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]], being one of their lower members to take over the Aether Foundation. After Episode RR is completed, he is demoted to the position of intern at the Aether Foundation. | |||
Under the alias "'''F'''" (Japanese: '''S'''), Faba maintains a blog that he uses to post comments about his job and his beliefs on various subjects. | |||
===Appearance=== | |||
[[File:Faba SM concept art.png|thumb|right|Faba's concept artwork for [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]]] | |||
Faba is a tall and lanky adult man. Faba's short hair curls upward towards the top of his head. He has a receeding hairline with rounded sideburns passing just below his ears. Faba's beard just covers his chin and is long enough to be curled and played with. Faba has long thick eyebrows that rest above his smaller droopy eyes with black rings towards the outer sides. his irises are blue and circular. Faba wears a pair of large bean-shaped sunglasses that are only compromised of green-tinted lenses. These thick glasses cover not only his eyes but also his eye brows and cruve around his face, reaching his sideburns. The glasses are only supported by his long triangular nose. | |||
Faba's outfit matches the rest of the [[Aether Foundation]]'s, being more unique giving a sign of importance and status. Like [[Wicke]] and [[Lusamine]], Faba has a specific color as a highlight among the white and gold, havign a lime-green color motif complimenting the other two's pink and yellow. Faba's large white jacket covers a majority of his body, wrapping around the front arms, and hands. the collar is also large and folds outwards towards his chest and back of the neck. He has a singular gold button on the front that he can use to take off his jacket. An all gold Aether pin is on the front of his back collar. A golden diamond is on each of his shoulders and green cuffs from his wrists reach up to his elbows. He has two golden U-shaped pockets going up to down on both sides of his jacket. Underneath, he wears a green shirt that wraps around his neck. Faba's boots are worn like pants, reaching past his jacket. Golden soles with short heels reach upwards his leg in another diamond shape. The boost are long and bend his toes upward. Two straps on each foot are button together by golden buttons on each side of the rounded straps. | |||

====Background and pre-game==== | |||
'''Website blurb:''' ''The Aether Foundation branch chief sports green sunglasses. They’re his signature accessory! He seems very proud of his position as branch chief.'' | |||
In the [[Generation VII]] titles, the player can read Faba's blog posts which cna be viewed on a computer found in [[Aether Paradise]]'s Secret Lab A, where the [[Silvally (Pokémon)|Type: Full]] specimens were created. One reveals that he developed the [[Beast Ball]]s after taking the project over from his predecessor. Another reveals that he designed the control mask technology that would later be used on {{p|Type: Null}} following the failure of the {{a|RKS System}} initialization tests, as a precaution in case such an event took place. This project of creating the helmet was made public. After his [[Lusamine|superior]]'s [[Gladion|family]] had stolen one of the [[Gladion's Silvally|test subjects]], he became prepared to give any information to protect his position, even if it meant lying. | |||
Faba | ====Main game==== | ||
The {{player}} first meets Faba on [[Akala Island]] at [[Memorial Hill]] on their way to the [[Ruins of Life]]. Trying to get a {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}} to stop harassing a {{p|Slowpoke}}, Faba asks for the player's assistance. After defeating the Grunt, Faba, thankful for the player's help invites them and [[Hau]] to visit the [[Hano Grand Resort]] after they finish their [[island challenge|grand trial]] with [[Olivia]]. Hau reminds the player about visit with the Aether Foundation, worrying [[Lillie]], who avoids going with the two. Upon arriving, Faba invites the player and Hau, to man-made island of [[Aether Paradise]] for a tour and brings them by boat, leaving the two with [[Wicke]]. | |||
During the invasion on Aether Paradise, Faba reappears to stop the player, Hau, and [[Gladion]] as they storm the foundation's headquarters for the kidnapped [[Lillie]]. Gladion demands that Faba tell him what the foundation is planning, but Faba refuses, taunting Gladion about his past, before battling the player. Faba is defeated and concedes, granting the player's group clearance to the second basement floor, where he claims they will find {{p|Cosmog}}. This, however, turns out to be a lie spun by Faba to give himself time to call in reinforcements and strengthen his Pokémon team. By the time the player's group attempts to head towards [[Lusamine]]'s quarters, Faba has returned with three {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s by his side. He reveals he has the key to the way forward in his hands, a plan which Hau calls into question, frustrating the chief. After defeating two of the employees alongside Gladion, the player has a [[Multi Battle]] with Faba and the remaining employee, with Hau as their partner. Defeated, Faba is forced to relent, and gives the keys to Hau, who unlocks the way forward. | |||
====Post-game==== | |||
After becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, it is revealed that Faba was demoted. Humbled by recent events, Faba is determined to become a new man by integrating himself with the rank and file. Faba requests another battle with the player, and upon defeat, gives the player a [[Dubious Disc]]. After that, he will linger in the lobby of Lusamine's mansion on Aether Paradise. | After becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, it is revealed that Faba was demoted.

Faba is one of the possible {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who will [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|challenge the player]] for the title of Champion at the {{al|Pokémon League}}.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Faba's role is virtually the same as in Sun and Moon, with only minor changes happening throughout the main story, including an encounter at [[Ula'ula Meadow]]. A major expansion to his role happens during the post-game in [[Episode RR]], where he teams up with [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] during their takeover of Aether Paradise, intending to use their success as a stepping stone to further his own career. He later attempts to stop the player and Lillie from entering [[Team Rocket's Castle]], only to be defeated. He leaves afterwards, but not before warning the two about the people [[Giovanni]] brought with him from [[Pokémon multiverse|other worlds]]. He is not seen again until after Giovanni's defeat, where he attempts to cover his involvement in the incident, but ends up giving away his true intentions in the process. As a result, Faba is demoted to intern, much to his humiliation. He also no longer appears in Title Defense battles, with | ===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon=== | ||
