not sure if he was in 9, cant remember, aint played 9 in ages.
certainly wasn't in ff10 tho which is a shame coz he was the koolerst of the lot, had mystery and an element of suaveness about him

he's been in the series since FF4 at least, though I think he has been called "Raiden" for some reason in some translations. (actually - no that was what he could be "powered up to" in FF6...). He always used to be the "summon in the castle basement". No seriously.

Why he wasn't in FF10 is beyond me. He was in FF9 (and very cool indeed), but perhaps FF10 reveals that it is chronologically after FF8 somehow, because:

(Read Spolier only if you've played FF8 past the end of Disc 3)

Spoiler: show

Seifer cuts Odin in half in FF8. Presumably he died (getting cut in half is usually a major disability... unless you're a Siemeese Twin), and FFV's Gilgamesh took over, though they didn't keep with this idea (which is a shame - Gilgamesh was pretty cool)
