Desert Claw is introduced early in the story as a famous bounty hunter and the person that Dorgengoa sent Simon and Steve to look for. The first time he appears, he helps Jaster Rogue against some beasts and gives him the Desert Seeker that starts off Jaster's epic adventure as a member of Dorgengoa's Crew. He later comes in to help the group fend off Seed during the trek through the Libra King's towers in Zerard.
