After thinking about it I realized that there is kind of an interpretation of what the twelve would have done to Bahamut if summoned fully. Mind you this is purely entertainment but nonetheless I think is a good way of thinking about it as well as why they were not summoned in full strength. And yes they are all male and there is 13 not twelve but you can ignore that and just think about it in relation to ff14
