Adramelk Show Images
Given Job: Ghost of Fury
Personality/Goals: A powerful Lucavi demon whose link to our world is the Capricorn Holy Stone. The host eventually given him is Dycedarg Beoulve. Like all Lucavi, he's trying to get the Bloody Angel, Altima, back to Earth.

Aeris Show Images
Personality/Goals: A flower girl who lives in Zarghidas Trade City. In reality she's a crossover from FF7, which is why Cloud thinks she looks familiar.

Agrias Oaks Show Images
Titles: Holy Knight, Lesalia St. Konoe Hokuten Knight, Bodyguard of Princess Ovelia
Given Job: Holy Knight
Personality/Goals: A pure-hearted warrior who is devoted to Princess Ovelia. She will stop at nothing to rescue her from those who relentlessly pursue her. She also feels a kind of pity for Ovelia.
History: A Hokuten Knight under the Lesalia St. Konoe division, she quit her day job after discovering that it was Prince Larg who tried to capture Ovelia. When Ovelia is taken to Zeltennia after a complicated sequence of events in Lionel Castle, Agrias joins Ramza to try to get her back.

Alazlam J.D. Show Images
Title: Historian
Alazlam lives 400 years after the scope of the game. He finds a long-hidden book, the Durai Writings (written by Olan Durai) which describe the role of someone hitherto unknown in the Lion War: Ramza Beoulve. (General consensus is that Delita was the outstanding hero of the war.) Alazlam embarks on a journey to discover the real truth behind the Lion War; this is how the game supposedly begins. We later find out the Alazlam is a direct descendant of Olan.

Algus Sadalfas Show Images
Title: Hokuten Cadet
Given Job: Squire
Personality/Goals: Algus, a noble whose family was dishonored, harbors an enormous grudge against the common folk. His ridiculous views treat common folk as animals, whose lives are only there to be thrown away at nobility's expense.
History: Algus's grandfather disgraced the Sadalfas name during the Fifty Year War by betraying his friends to save himself. Before he could escape, however, a Hokuten Cadet stabbed him in the back. Algus became a Hokuten Cadet himself, under the auspices of Marquis Elmdor. When Elmdor is kidnapped by Gustav, he travels to Igros. He meets Ramza on the way; Ramza rescues him from some monsters, and they travel together to Igros to inform the Beoulves of the Marquis' kidnapping. (Dycedarg and Larg were the ones who actually perpetrated it, however, and are oblivious to his pleas.) Algus travels with Ramza and they rescue the Marquis, but a heated conversation between Ramza, Delita, and Algus back at Igros causes Ramza to banish Algus ("I never want to see you again!") Algus returns to his superior, Zalbag, and by Zalbag's order (for a strategic coup at Fort Zeakden) he kills Teta, Golagros's hostage, and then kills Golagros. Delita is so incensed at the death of his sister that he kills Algus himself.

Alma Beoulve Show Images
Given Job: Cleric
Personality/Goals: Alma is a very brave and kind-hearted girl, who's much closer to Ramza (her full brother) than her other half-brothers. She fights when she can, but Ramza constantly has to rescue her: she is the only eligible body for St. Ajora and Altima, the Bloody Angel; she is the cornerstone of the Lucavi plan.
History: Alma attended the Igros Aristocratic School with Teta. After the coup at Fort Zeakden when Ramza disappeared, she was at a monastery where she befriended Princess Ovelia. Later, she lived in Lesalia Imperial Capital with her brother Zalbag. She met Ramza there and accompanied him to Orbonne Monastery (she wished to know the truth about the Holy Stones, and Ramza being a heretic would find it hard to enter the monastery alone). There, she is kidnapped by Izlude and taken to Riovanes Castle. When Vormav goes nuts in the castle, she finds Izlude wounded; Izlude gives her his Pisces Holy Stone. Ramza tries to save her, but she is again kidnapped by Vormav; she is taken to Murond Holy Place. When Vormav finds the true location of Murond Death City, she is taken there. Her body is at first taken over by St. Ajora, but she somehow gets it back. After St. Ajora and Altima are defeated, Alma is buried by the Church, but history is unsure whether she really died, or the burial was just a ruse.

Altima Show Images
Title: Bloody Angel
Given Jobs: Holy Angel; Arch Angel
The leader of the Lucavi is assosicated with the Virgo Holy Stone and can only enter the real world through the right body: in this case, Alma Beoulve. The mastermind behind Altima is St. Ajora. Once Altima comes back to life, Lucavi can come and go at will without needing host bodies...

Balbanes Beoulve Show Images
Title: Heavenly Knight, leader of Hokuten Knights
Personality/Goals: An amazingly courageous and honorable soldier, Balbanes' valiant fighting is part of what kept Ivalice from total surrender after the Fifty Year War. Balbanes dies before the scope of the game begins.
History: Balbanes was instrumental in the Fifty Year War. He has two sons from one wife (Dycedarg and Zalbag) and two other children from a different wife (Ramza and Alma). After the Fifty Year War, he was slowly poisoned by Dycedarg using Mosfungus; this was the beginning of Dycedarg's long-term plot for the throne of Ivalice...

Balk Fenzol Show Images
Title: Temple Knight
Given Job: Engineer
Personality/Goals: Balk doesn't care much for human life. He's the mastermind behind the Mosfungus plague, and his ideals are less than honorable.
History: Balk used to live in Goug Machine City. He was blacklisted by the royal knights for anti-aristocratic behavior, and ended up joining the Temple Knights. He was killed by Ramza in a battle in Bed Desert, but not before infecting the entire Hokuten army with Mosfungus poison. He is ressurrected by the Lucavi to guard Murond Death City.

Balmafula Lanando Show Images
Personality/Goals: A heavily sarcastic sorceror working for the Murond Glabados Church. She's supposed to be ruthless, but her feelings get in the way of her job.
History: Balmafula is sent by the Church to help Delita and spy on him. If she sees that he is going to betray the Church, she is to kill him. However, she finds herself falling for him, and can't stab him; Delita overpowers her. She continues working with him; the next time we see her is at Alma's funeral.

Bariaus Show Images
The first disciple of St. Ajora, who lived over 1200 years before the scope of the game. He was chased by the Holy Empire Yudora all over; he hid away in Bariaus Valley, and was finally caught and executed at Bariaus Hill.

Barinten, Gelkanis Show Images
Title: Grand Duke of Riovanes, Weapon King
Personality/Goals: An ambition-driven man who has some very sick tendencies. His eagerness and prowess with weapons of all types has earned him the moniker "Weapon King". He wishes to become king of Ivalice by threatening the Temple Knights into working with him; he tells them that he'll get the Germonik Scriptures and expose their lies.
History: During the Fifty Year War, Barinten burned a village of people with magical Heaven and Hell Knight abilities, because they refused to service him. He found two children (siblings) named Rafa and Malak Galthana. One was a Heaven Knight, one was a Hell Knight. He raised them as his own children; they eventually became the main members of an assassin group called Kamyuja, which was headed by Barinten. Barinten began to become debauched and greedy. He raped Rafa, but she was always too scared to tell anyone about it. He sends Malak to get the Germonik Scriptures from Ramza; when Ramza finally arrives, he makes the bad mistake of threatening Vormav with the Taurus and Scorpio Stones (taken from Izlude) and the Germonik Scriptures. Vormav goes on a rampage and kills Barinten's men, as well as Izlude. Barinten escapes, however, and has a showdown with Rafa on the roof of Riovanes Castle. He pulls a gun on her, but makes another bad mistake of mentioning her rape. Malak was listening, and saves Rafa from the bullet by taking it himself. However, before anything can be done, Lede (an assassin friend of the ressurrected Marquis Elmdor) comes out of nowhere, grabs Barinten, and throws him off the roof. End of story.

Beowulf Kadmas Show Images
Former Title: Head of Lionel Temple Knights
Given Job: Temple Knight
Personality/Goals: Beowulf is a lovelorn knight searching for his old flame, transformed by a curse. He's a former Temple Knight and knows the ins and outs of the Church's misdemeanour-laden politics. He's a valiant fighter as well.
History: Priest Buremonda of Lionel became insanely jealous of the love shared between Beowulf and his girlfried Reis. He tried to lay a curse on Beowulf, but Reis sacrificed herself and she was transformed into a dragon. She immediately runs away, and Beowulf spends a long while searching for her, calling himself a "hunter" to find more rumors about monsters. A rumor in Lesalia Imperial Capital about a monster in Goland Colliery leads him to an alliance with Ramza. They rescue Reis from an Archaic Demon in the Colliery, then begin their search for the Cancer Holy Stone, which can cure her. They find it in Nelveska Temple, guarded by Worker 7-new.

Besrodio Bunanza Show Images
Personality/Goals: An engineer living in Goug Machine City, Besrodio combs the ancient mines for traces of lost former civilizations. He's an honest man, but rather frail by now.
History: Besrodio has lived in Goug with his son Mustadio all his life. When he happens on the Taurus Holy Stone in a mine, he's chased by the Bart Company (sent by Cardinal Draclau and Bart Rudvich) and eventually rescued by Ramza and Mustadio. He plays his part in the Cloud Subquest by finding Worker 8 in the mines, and later the device which calls Cloud from his world into the Tactics world.

Blansh Show Images
Title: Aide to Prince Goltana
Plays a bit part and only has a few lines in the game.

Bolmna Show Images
Title: Aide to Prince Goltana
Nothing much is known about him besides his title.

Buremonda, Priest
Title: Priest of Murond Glabados Church
Buremonda doesn't appear in the game, but he plays a part in the story of Beowulf and Reis. Jealous of their love, he casts a curse on Beowulf, but hits Reis instead, turning her into a dragon.

Celia Show Images
Given Job: Assassin; Ultima Demon
A mysterious woman working for the ressurrected Marquis Elmdor; in reality she's an Ultima Demon working for the Lucavi.

Cloud Strife Show Images
Given Job: Soldier
A crossover from FF7. Cloud (who has these really weird flashes where he gets a headache and talks strange) arrives thanks to a heavenly globe machine found by Besrodio in Goug Machine City. He runs away, but meets Aeris in Zarghidas Trade City and notices something familiar about her. Aeris is accosted by bandits, but Cloud and Ramza (who shows up right then) fight them off. Cloud joins Ramza for fairly confusing reasons.

Daravon, Bordam Show Images
Title: Holy Knight, Senior Lecturer, Gariland Military Academy
Personality/Goals: His long lectures can be a major bore, but no one knows more about battle than this veteran. Although he's only been in a single battle, he's a master of strategy. The Holy Knight title is honorary.

Delita Hyral Show Images
Titles: Hokuten Cadet, Black Sheep Knight (under Baron Grims, who is under Prince Goltana), Holy Knight (Hokuten), leader of Black Sheep Knights, leader of Nanten Knights, ruler of Ivalice.
Given Job: Squire; Holy Knight
Personality/Goals: Delita, although ultimately an idealistically honorable man (who thinks of himself as the people's "hero"), holds of the unfortunate maxim of "the ends justify the means". After his sister's death because of a manipulative plot, he vows never to be manipulated again, but instead to manipulate others. His manipulations lead to his eventual rulership of Ivalice, while he lets everyone else deke it out. He uses Ovelia for his purposes, but actually falls in love with her while he's doing it. Although his goals coincide with those of Goltana and the Church at points, he always plans on double-crossing them. He intends on letting Ramza and his friends live so that they can destroy the Church's new Zodiac Braves and allow Delita to become king himself.
History: Delita was born to poor farmers on the Beoulve land. Balbanes basically adopted him and his sister Teta, and they became fast friends with Ramza and Alma. Delita attended the Gariland Military Academy with Ramza. He follows Ramza through the rescue of Algus, the kidnapping of Teta, and the decisive battle at Fort Zeakden, where Algus kills Teta. Delita kills Algus, but Golagros (Teta's kidnapper) ignites the ammunition inside Fort Zeakden. Teta shields Delita with her body, saving him. Delita's plan begins to form. He rises in rank in the Nanten Black Sheep Knights and then switches sides (after an assassin group called the Ryomoku destroy the Black Sheep Knights, including their leader, Baron Grims) and joins the Hokuten again to go undercover during Larg's scheme. Throughout all this, he's in contact with the Murond Glabados Church, vowing allegiance to their scheme to dethrone BOTH Larg and Goltana. He's sent to kidnap Ovelia for Larg, but instead takes her for Goltana. However, after a fight with some Nanten Knights, he leaves Ovelia in Ramza's charge. Later, when Ramza is involved in rescuing Besrodio Bunanza, Ovelia is left in Lionel Castle. Delita (who is supposedly in alliance with the Church) visits her in her cell and eventually takes her to Zeltennia Castle, leaving Ramza to fight with Cardinal Draclau. After Draclau's death, Delita exposes Gelwan for kidnapping Ovelia, then demands that Goltana storm the Imperial Capital and capture Queen Ruvelia, who masterminded the kidnapping. The Queen is taken to Bethla Garrison. In Zeltennia, Delita finds himself becoming closer to Ovelia. Balmafula Lanando is dispatched by the Church to "help" Delita; Delita knows her true purpose (to kill him), but is also a shrewd enough judge to know that she won't be able to do it. Eventually, Ramza secretly meets Delita in Zeltennia Church, where Delita discloses the Church's plan - to kill the leaders of the Hokuten and Nanten. Ramza is attacked by Zalmo Rusnada, a Pagan Examiner; Delita kills him for seeing him meet with Ramza. Later, Orlandu is accused by Goltana of conspiracy against him; Delita is appointed head of the Nanten Knights. Delita allows both Ramza and Orlandu to escape Bethla Garrison (he wants them both to be able to fight the Church). Delita then stabs Goltana and blames it on Orlandu; he kills a look-alike Orlandu to make sure no one would be looking for him. Ovelia is visited by Olan in Zeltennia; he tries to tell her the truth about Delita's killing Goltana, but Delita interrupts him. Delita declares his true purposes (to betray even the Church); as he expected, Balmafula can't bring herself to kill him. He locks Olan away in Zeltennia for knowing too much. After Ramza defeats the Lucavi and the Zodiac Braves, no one is left to rule in Ivalice besides Ovelia, whom Delita marries and thus becomes king of Ivalice. Much later, Ovelia becomes insane with mulling over Ramza's fate; she stabs King Delita with a knife. He stabs her back, and there ends the complete saga of the Lion War.

Denamunda Atkascha Show Images
Title: King of Ivalice
This name was given to two kings of Ivalice (father and son), both of whom ruled during the Fifty Year War and were killed during it (Denamunda I died of illness; Denamunda II was rumored to have been assassinated.) The son of Denamunda II was Omdolia.

Draclau, Alphons Show Images
Title: Cardinal in Murond Glabados Church; leader of Lionel.
Personality/Goals: Draclau, like nearly all members of the Church, is in on the Zodiac Brave scandal and wants to ressurrect Altima. His Holy Stone, Scorpio, is assosciated with Queklain. He's ruthless, but can put on a good enough show to fool even the shrewdest warriors like Ramza and Ovelia.
History: In his search for the Holy Stones, Draclau uses Bart Rudvich's Bart Company. They discover that Besrodio has found the Taurus Stone in the Goug mines; they chase after him. In the meantime, Ovelia and Agrias head to Lionel to seek sanctuary with Draclau. They meet Mustadio on the way. Draclau sends Mustadio and Ramza to rescue Besrodio (actually to get the Holy Stone) and then return to Lionel; while keeping Ovelia and Agrias in Lionel. Agrias discovers his plot and escapes, but Ovelia is taken captive and eventually taken to Zeltennia Castle by Delita. Draclau kills Rudvich for his incompetence (Rudvich was the one who let Ramza on to Draclau's involvement in Besrodio's chase). Ramza then confronts Draclau, but he transforms into Queklain. Ramza kills Queklain and Draclau.

Dycedarg Beoulve Show Images
Titles: Magic Fencer, Aide to Prince Larg
Given Job: Lune Knight
Personality/Goals: A man driven completely and incessantly by greed, Dycedarg is the only Beoulve who dishonors his family name. He's sneaky, too, but isn't very good at tact. Definitely someone to stay away from. His goal is to become king; first by killing his father, then Prince Larg.
History: Dycedarg slowly poisoned his father Balbanes during the Fifty Year War in a long-term goal to become king; after Balbanes dies, Dycedarg becomes the aide to Prince Larg; the two become inseperable. Dycedarg goes along with all of Larg's plans, including the kidnapping of Princess Ovelia. He and Larg also wish to get rid of the anti-aristocratic Death Corps. Dycedarg pays a Death Corps fencer named Gustav to kidnap Marquis Elmdor, in an excuse to wipe out the Death Corps. However, Ramza (against Dycedarg's will) rescues the Marquis anyway. (Larg tells Dycedarg it doesn't matter.) In an effort to redeem himself, Dycedarg sends Ramza to deal with the Death Corps hiding in the Thieves' Fort. During that time, Golagros (a Death Corps member) tries to assassinate Dycedarg but fails, leading to Teta's kidnapping. Three months later, Dycedarg hires Gafgarion to kidnap Ovelia and blame it on the Nanten. He tells Gafgarion to kill Ramza if he gets in the way. Much later, during the coup on Fort Zeakden, Dycedarg is poisoned by the Mosfungus poison spread by Balk (but not badly). In front of Zalbag, he kills Prince Larg, and tells Zalbag to put a knife in the hands of a dead Hokuten Knight, claiming that the knight was a Nanten spy and killed Larg. However, the dying words of Larg, alluding to Dycedarg's killing Balbanes, sets Zalbag wondering. Dycedarg assumes control of the Hokuten. Rofel (a Temple Knight) meets with Dycedarg at Igros and suggests that he accept the Church's offer of mediation. Rofel knows that Dycedarg killed Balbanes and makes several strong suggestions about it. he leaves Dycedarg the Capricorn Stone (intending for Dycedarg to be the host body for the Lucavi demon Adramelk). Zalbag overhears, and later confirms the truth. Zalbag enters Igros and kills Dycedarg for his crime, but the Zodiac Stone reacts and Dycedarg becomes Adramelk. Adramelk kills Zalbag (his body disappears) but is then slain by Ramza.

Elidibs Show Images
Given Job: Serpentarius
A mysterious wizard, a graduate of the Gariland Military School. He was a great fighter for Ivalice during the Fifty Year War, but disappeared during the recapture of Riovanes Castle. Between then and the Lion War, he somehow found or created a thirteenth Zodiac Stone and hid out in the lowest level of the Deep Dungeon to meditate. He challenges Ramza to a duel when Ramza reaches him, and he then transforms into a Lucavi demon. Ramza slays Elidibs and collects his 13th Stone, Serpentarius.

Elmdor, Mesdoram Show Images
Title: Marquis of Limberry, Pagan Examiner
Given Job: Arc Knight
Personality/Goals: The real Marquis Elmdor was a strong fighter for Ivalice. He was known as the "Silver Noble" to his friends, but "Silver Ogre" to his enemies (both nicknames coming from the color of his hair). However, when he's ressurrected as a Lucavi, he's a nasty SOB.
History: The Marquis was a powerful force during the Fifty Year War. He was kidnapped by Gustav (sent by Dycedarg) but rescued by Ramza and Algus (who is a squire under him). After the Lion War broke out, he was killed by a stray arrow in an early battle at the Fuse Plains. He was ressurrected as the Lucavi demon Zarela and was given two Ultima Demons as helpers (they disguised themselves as assassins): Celia and Lede. He travels to Riovanes Castle to gain Barinten's Holy Stones, but Ramza foils him. He then returns to Limberry where he awaits Ramza. Ramza does indeed enter, and defeats both Elmdor and his alterego Zarela.

Funeral, Marge Show Images
Title: High Priest of the Murond Glabados Church
Funeral is shrewd, but not shrewd enough. He wants to ressurrect the Zodiac Braves and St. Ajora, but his age and infirmity prove to be his undoing; his Temple Knights (supposedly employed to protect him) turn against him once he outlives his usefulness. Vormav kills him at Murond Holy Place after he tells the Temple Knights where to find the entrance to Murond Death City. However, he's alive long enough to blurt out the one word, "Orbonne", to Ramza who chases after them.

Gafgarion, Gaff Show Images
Given Job: Dark Knight
Personality/Goals: Gafgarion's pretty sneaky, and very shrewd. He doesn't have the best set of morals, though. He knows what's going on better than anyone else, but doesn't care, as long as he gets his money.
History: A Touten Knight during the Fifty Year War, he was discharged because of his reckless actions. He became a mercenary selling to the highest bidder. He enlisted a Squire named Rad, and later Ramza Beoulve, as his cohorts. (He was the only one who knew Ramza's true identity after the Fort Zeakden battle.) He is hired by Dycedarg to put up a pretense of defending Ovelia, while letting her be captured by Delita, the backup. He catches up to Delita at Zirekile Falls, and fights Ramza and Delita. Ovelia falls into Ramza's hands. Later, he visits Cardinal Draclau who tells him to bring both Ramza and Mustadio to Lionel; Ramza knows the truth about the kidnapping, and Mustadio is wanted by Draclau (who's in league with Dycedarg, Gafgarion's employer). Gafgarion sets up a trap at Golgorand Execution Site, but is defeated by Ramza. Gafgarion's final attempt is at the gate to Lionel; Ramza finally slays him.

Gelwan Show Images
Title: Aide to Prince Goltana
Gelwan (a real chicken) secretly defects to Larg's side; to prove his willingness, he concocts a plan to kidnap Ovelia and blame it on Goltana. However, one of the Hokuten Knights he sent snitches on him (thanks to Delita) and Delita kills him on the spot.

Germonik Show Images
One of St. Ajora's first disciples was actually a spy sent by the Holy Empire Yudora to investigate Ajora's true actions. He didn't find proof of Ajora's spy business, but he did discover some Zodiac Stones, giving the Holy Empire enough evidence to kill Ajora. Germonik later wrote the Germonik Scriptures, telling the truth about Ajora and the Zodiac Brave legend.

Golagros Levine Show Images
A member of the Death Corps who carries out a failed assassination attempt on Dycedarg and instead kidnaps Teta as his hostage. He takes her to the windmill on Fovoham Plains, but retreats to Fort Zeakden when Ramza reaches it. At Fort Zeakden, he's surprised when Algus (at Zalbag's order) shoots Teta, leaving him unprotected; Algus shoots him as well. He retreats into the fort, and ignites the explosives inside, killing all but Ramza and Delita.

Goltana, Druksmald Show Images
Title: Prince of Ivalice, supreme leader of Nanten Knights, leader of Zeltennia
Personality/Goals: Goltana's a bit paranoid, not very moralistic, and wants to rule Ivalice by declaring Princess Ovelia as ruler and not letting her out of Zeltennia. He's not as underhanded as his enemy Larg, though. Because of his flag, he's known as the Black Lion.
History: Goltana was framed by Larg for kidnapping Ovelia, but had his own ace up his sleeve: Delita, Larg's backup, was really working for Goltana. After Draclau's death and Ovelia's arrival at Zeltennia, Delita exposes Gelwan's plot and demands that Goltana storm Lesalia and capture Queen Ruvelia, who ordered the kidnapping of Ovelia. She is to be held in Bethla Garrison for her crimes. Goltana agrees. During Ruvelia's capture, Larg insists that Prince Orinas is the ruler; Goltana retorts with his claim of Ovelia being the true ruler, and the Lion War begins. Despite heavy losses for both sides, Goltana would rather raise taxes to ridiculous heights than try for a peace treaty with Larg. During the battle at Bethla Garrison, Goltana hears reports of Orlandu (his most trusted aide and leader of his Nanten Knights) plotting rebellion; he sentences him to death. (Orlandu escapes afterwards.) He appoints Delita as head of the Nanten. At the same time, he knows of Delita's ties to the Murond Church and asks for a sanction of his claim. (He knows that the Church poisoned the Hokuten and therefore they must be on Goltana's side.) After the battle, Goltana is assassinated by Delita, who frames it on Orlandu (but he kills an impostor Orlandu so that the real Orlandu can be at peace).

Grenados Show Images
A fanatic follower of the Glabados Church, he also bears a striking resemblance to Orlandu. He agrees to sacrifice himself for the Church, although he doesn't really know why. (Delita dresses him up as Orlandu and kills him, thus letting the real Orlandu, whom he framed for Goltana's death, go free.)

Grims, Li Show Images
Title: Baron in Zeltennia, leader of the Black Sheep Nanten Knights
Baron Grims leads the Black Sheep Knights and Delita quickly rises to second-in-command under Grims' leadership. However, Grims and the rest of the Black Sheep Knights (everyone besides Delita) is killed by a rebel group of ex-knights called "Ryomoku". Delita assumes leadership of the newly reformed Black Sheep Knights.

Gustav Margueriff Show Images
Title: Hokuten Knight; Second-in-command of Knights of Death; second-in-command of Death Corps
Gustav was dismissed from the Hokuten Knights during the Fifty Year war because of his unbecoming actions (like unnecessary violence and rape). He joined up with the Knights of Death, an anti-aristocratic group led by Wiegraf Folles. The Knights of Death were disbanded due to heavy losses during the Fifty Year War, but reformed under the name Death Corps, where Wiegraf and Gustav resumed their roles as leader and assistant leader. However, Gustav began to become disillusioned with the losing battle they were fighting, and tried to come clean to Dycedarg. Dycedarg agreed to forgive him if Gustav did him a favor: kidnap Marquis Elmdor so that the Hokuten would have an excuse to destroy the Death Corps. Gustav agrees, but Wiegraf is enraged at him. Gustav hides out with the Marquis at Bed Desert; both Ramza and Wiegraf chase after him, but Wiegraf gets there first. Gustav is stabbed by Wiegraf for his actions.

Hashmalum Show Images
Title/Job: Regulator
The closest thing the Lucavi have to a leader, in the absence of Altima. Hashmalum assosciates himself with Vormav and controls his every action. He leads a mindless and barbaric quest to ressurect his master Altima, and when he finally gets there, he sacrifices himself to do it.

Izlude Tingel Show Images
Title: Temple Knight
Given Job: Knight Blade
Izlude is loyal to his father Vormav, but is slightly incompetent when it comes to it. He leads the first attack on Orbonne Monastery, looking for the Virgo Stone needed to ressurrect Altima. He gets the Stone and disappears. However, Grand Duke Barinten called the Temple Knights to Riovanes Castle in an effort to gain their help in his goal to rule Ivalice. Izlude was foolishly caught off his guard and Malak (then Barinten's stooge) stole both Virgo and Scorpio off him. Vormav/Hashmalum goes into a violent rage, leaving Izlude fatally wounded. Alma (who's held at Riovanes) escapes and finds Izlude on the floor. Izlude tries to warn her about his father being a monster, but she doesn't understand. He passes away, and leaves Alma the Pisces Stone, which is a treasure of his family.

Kanbabrif Show Images
Title: Aide to Prince Goltana
Possibly the least-seen person in the entire game. I think he only has a single line, and it's not much.

Kletian Drowa Show Images
Title: Temple Knight
Given Job: Sorceror
Kletian is Vormav's left-hand man. He's a master of all magic. He usually works behind the scenes, but follows Vormav when the final hour of Altima's ressurrection is at hand. He goes with him to Murond Holy Place and fights Ramza there; he's then sent to guard the Lost Sacred Precincts at Murond Death City. Ramza slays him there.

Larg, Bestrada Show Images
Title: Prince of Gallione, supreme leader of Hokuten Knights
Personality/Goals: Larg is only slightly more honorable than his enemy Goltana. He's a good deal more devious, hatching long-term plots and a long string of blames and red herrings. However, as events prove, he's not shrewd enough. His link to the throne is through Queen Ruvelia, his sister, and her son Orinas. Because of his flag, he's known as the White Lion.
History: Larg's first entry into the Lion War is to commend Ramza for his work in rescuing Marquis Elmdor (even though Dycedarg, his right-hand man, set the kidnapping up). Larg thinks Ramza may prove useful in the future. Later, Larg is visited by Gelwan, an aide to Goltana who wishes to double-cross his master. Together with Queen Ruvelia, they hatch the following plot: Larg is to hire Gafgarion's troupe to guard Ovelia, who is stationed in Orbonne Monastery; this will prove Larg's intentions to protect her. At the same time, he is to send a cadre of Hokuten Knights, disguised as Nanten Knights, to kidnap her. He knows that they'll lose to Gafgarion, but while they're fighting, Delita (a Hokuten, as far as Larg knows) is to kidnap her. This way, Ovelia will be out of the way, and Goltana will be framed for the kidnapping. However, the plan backfires when Delita turns out to be a Nanten, bent on taking Ovelia to Goltana. Larg tries to chase Ramza (the only other one who knows of Larg's plot) and fails to catch him. He counts his losses and bides his time until the death of King Omdolia, when he declares that Prince Orinas is the rightful heir. Since Orinas is only 3 at the time, he declares himself Orinas's regent, which would put him in rule of Ivalice. However, Goltana simultaneously proclaims Ovelia as true ruler; the Lion War begins. However, Gelwan's true actions are exposed by Delita, who demands that Ruvelia be captured and kept in Bethla Garrison for her crimes against Ovelia. Larg's Hokuten eventually storms Bethla Garrison. However, they are paralyzed by an epidemic of Mosfungus, spread by Balk of the Temple Knights. Larg himself is poisoned, but not badly. However, Dycedarg takes advantage of Larg's state and stabs him, becoming the head of the White Lion flag.

Lede Show Images
Given Job: Assassin
A mysterious woman working for the ressurrected Marquis Elmdor; in reality she's an Ultima Demon working for the Lucavi. She's the one who killed Barinten by throwing him off the roof of Riovanes Castle.

Malak Galthana Show Images
Given Job: Hell Knight
Personality/Goals: A rough young man who fights for his beliefs tooth and nail. He's dedicated to Grand Duke Barinten, his adoptive father, until he finds out the truth behind Barinten's actions.
History: The town where Malak and his sister Rafa lived was torched by Barinten when he found that he couldn't harness the town's special Heaven/Hell Knight skills. However, he found the Galthana siblings crying in the wreckage, and decided that he could use them after all. Malak and Rafa become the head of the Kamyuja, an assassin group spearheaded by Barinten. The Ryomoku dissolves after the Fifty Year War. Malak, upon finding out that Ramza has obtained the Germonik Scriptures, meets him in Dorter Trade City and demands the Scriptures in exchange for Alma, who's been captured by Vormav and taken to Riovanes while Vormav meets with Barinten. However, Malak is surprised in Yardow Fort City when he meets Rafa, who's running away from Barinten. He becomes angry with her and fights her, but she's helped by Ramza. Malak escapes, and turns into a frog to overhear Rafa's conversation with Ramza in the slums of Yardow. He then ups his demands, saying that if Ramza wants to see Alma, he must bring both the Scriptures and Rafa to Riovanes. In Riovanes, Malak catches Izlude Tingel off guard and steals the Taurus and Scorpio Stones from him. Malak then fights Ramza at the gate to Riovanes, but loses; he and Rafa both disappear. Rafa ends up on the roof, where she meets Barinten. She draws her sword, but Barinten is waiting for her with a gun. Barinten tells her she can't kill him, because her body still remembers the pain it went through when Barinten raped her. Malak overhears and demands if that's true. Barinten is caught off guard; Rafa rushes him; Barinten fires; Malak pushes her out of the way and is killed by the bullet. After Ramza fights off Marquis Elmdor (who's after the Stones Malak still has), Rafa uses one of Malak's Stones to bring him back to life. He and Rafa join Ramza's party in fighting the Temple Knights.

Meliadoul Tingel Show Images
Title: Temple Knight
Given Job: Divine Knight
Personality/Goals: Meliadoul is a noble soul who fights for what she believes in. Unfortunately, she believes that Ramza killed her brother, and that her father is a nice guy. Eventually she sees the truth, though.
History: After hearing of Izlude's death in Riovanes, Meliadoul ambushes Ramza in Bervenia Free City. Ramza tries to tell her the truth, but she refuses to listen. She loses the battle, and retreats to regroup her forces. She chases after him, finally catching up to him in Limberry Castle; she arrives in time to witness the transformation of Marquis Elmdor into the Lucavi demon Zarela. She finally believes Ramza, and fights with him against Zarela. As a token of her trust, she gives Ramza her Sagittarius Stone, and tells him that she wants to know why the Capricorn Stone was given to Dycedarg. She's also suddenly dubious about whether her father's really human or not. She joins Ramza's troops to find the answers to her questions.

Miluda Folles Show Images
Title: Member of Death Corps
Given Job: Knight
Personality/Goals: Miluda is dedicated to the causes of her brother Wiegraf, leader of the Death Corps. She believes that all nobles treat commoners like dirt and vows to get her revenge on them.
History: Miluda proved her valor to her brother during the Fifty Year War when she helped the Death Corps' previous incarnation, the Knights of Death. She was appointed to head the Death Corps section at the Thieves' Fort. However, Ramza is sent to deal with her. He tries to reason with her, but her strong beliefs (coupled with some very nasty remarks by Algus) make her retreat with her hate for nobles even stronger than before. She is then sent to guard the Lenalia Plateau (the pass leading to Fort Zeakden, the Death Corps' headquarters). Ramza is again forced to fight her, and this time she doesn't survive.

Mustadio Bunanza Show Images
Given Job: Engineer
Personality/Goals: A shrewd and kind young man dedicated to his father Besrodio, Mustadio is a fierce fighter and calculating planner. When his and Ramza's goals coincide, he joins him without a fuss.
History: Mustadio lives with his father Besrodio in Goug Machine City. However, when Besrodio discovers the Taurus Stone in the Goug mines, the Bart Company (sent by Cardinal Draclau) chases after him and captures him. Mustadio manages to take the Stone and flees, but the Bart Company catches up to him. Luckily, Ramza comes to his rescue. Mustadio begs him to take him to Cardinal Draclau (whom he thinks can help him fight Rudvich's thugs). Ramza agrees, but Mustadio refuses to tell Ramza why he's being chased by Bart Company, thinking that the less people who know, the better. They reach Lionel; Draclau agrees to help Mustadio (knowing that he'll walk right into Rudvich's hands). Mustadio thinks that Rudvich plans on using the Stone to make weapons. The Cardinal (by showing him his own Scorpio Stone) gets him to confess the real reason he's running away from Bart Company. Mustadio separates from Ramza in Goug to look around, but he's captured by Rudvich. Rudvich shows him his father in chains, and Mustadio "reluctantly" tells him the location of the Stone - actually a fake Mustadio made for just such an occasion. Rudvich lets drop a hint that Draclau is actually behind the whole deal and leaves Mustadio and Ramza to his goons, whom they fight off. Mustadio joins Ramza's party to fight against Draclau and the Church.

Olan Durai Show Images
Given Job: Astronomer
Personality/Goals: Olan is a strong-willed, bright, curious young man who's dedicated to his adoptive father Orlandu. He knows of the Church's plans and searches for evidence to show Orlandu and Goltana, but comes up dry. He strikes a long friendship with Ramza.
History: Ramza chances upon Olan in Goland Coal City, where Olan has stumbled on a thieves' hideout; Ramza rescues him. Olan later discovers that his goals coincide with Ramza; he pays him a visit on Grog Hill, when Ramza is on the way to Riovanes. Olan tells him he's searching for evidence; Ramza almost gives him the Germonik Scriptures, but can't (Barinten demands the Scriptures in exchange for Alma's release). Olan returns to Zeltennia to report his slim findings to Orlandu. Olan and Ramza later rescue Orlandu from the Bethla Garrison hold where Orlandu awaits execution due to trumped-up charges of rebellion. Orlandu sends Olan back to Zeltennia to rescue Princess Ovelia. Olan runs into some trouble on the way and ends up wounded. Ovelia (who seems to know him and refers to Orlandu as "Uncle") tries to listen to him tell the truth about the murder of Goltana, but Delita (the real murderer) cuts him short. Delita doesn't deny it, though. After offering Olan a position under Delita (which he refuses), Delita is forced to lock him up in the Zeltennia Dungeon; Olan just knows too much. He later releases him, after the Lucavi are defeated by Ramza. Olan comes to Alma's funeral, but is surprised to see Ramza and Alma (supposedly dead) ride by on Chocobos. He tries to chase after them, but they flee out of sight. Olan later writes a chronicle of the truth behind the Lion War, entitled the "Durai Writings". He means to give it to Prince Clemence on the occasion of his coronation, but the Church (who doesn't want the truth to be told) intercepts him, declares him a heretic, confiscates the Writings, and burns him at the stake.

Omdolia Atkascha Show Images
Title: King of Ivalice
Omdolia (son of Denamunda II) was a very weak monarch and unfit to rule; all the real decisions were made by his wife Ruvelia. They had two sons together, both of whom died; Omdolia then adopted his much younger sister Ovelia as his daughter. However, Omdolia had another son with Ruvelia, Orinas, and the situation became volatile. Omdolia died due to the Black Plague soon after.

Orinas Atkascha Show Images
Title: Prince of Ivalice
Born to King Omdolia and Queen Ruvelia, his birth stirred a hornet's nest of betrayal and ambition later known as the "Lion War". Larg declared himself Orinas's regent and therefore ad hoc ruler.

Orlandu, Cidolfas Show Images
Title: Leader of Nanten Knights, T.G. Cid ("Thunder God Cid")
Given Job: Holy Swordsman
Personality/Goals: Orlandu is one of the last true noble knights in the land. His fearsome battle skill proved invaluable in the Fifty Year War. He refuses to fight for anything he disbelieves in, and honor plays a big part in his deeds.
History: Orlandu led the Nanten Knights during the Fifty Year War; his courage was part of what allowed Ivalice and Ordalia to come to a mutual peace rather than have Ivalice completely surrender. During the Fifty Year War, he adopted a son, Olan Durai, who became his ardent follower. He continued working for Goltana, but began to have his doubts during the Lion War when Goltana insisted on taxing the farmers beyond their means rather than try a peace agreement with Larg. Goltana took offense at his words. Orlandu and the Nanten fight valiantly agains the Hokuten, and end up guarding Bethla Garrison (and the captured Queen Ruvelia) against Larg. Olan begins collecting information about the Church's conspiracy; Orlandu encourages him but insists that he needs more evidence. Later, in Bethla, Orlandu is falsely accused by Goltana of rebellion; he is sentenced to be executed the next day. In deference to his lord, Orlandu keeps quiet. However, he is rescued by Olan, Ramza, and Balmafula. Upon hearing Ramza's story, he is convinced of the Church's crimes, and joins Ramza in his fight. He gives him the Libra Stone (an heirloom of the Orlandu family) to aid Ramza's cause.

Ovelia Atkascha Show Images
Title: Princess of Ivalice
Given Job: Princess
Personality/Goals: Although her real identity is shrouded in mystery, Ovelia acts every inch the princess. She's brave in the face of adversity, but her courage is offset by her weakness and people are always taking advantage of her (especially Delita, without even realizing it).
History: The real Ovelia is the sister of King Omdolia; the current Ovelia was adopted by Omdolia. Whether the two are the same is a matter of doubt, but we'll assume they were. However, she's not Omdolia's real daughter; that's for certain. After Ovelia's adoption, she was taken to Orbonne Monastery, under the auspices of Simon Pen Rakshu. Her bodyguard is Agrias and her two knights. (Before going to Orbonne, she was in a different monastery where she made fast friends with Alma.) Gafgarion is also hired by Larg to protect her. However, a kidnapping scheme perpetrated by Larg and her stepmother/sister-in-law Ruvelia has the Hokuten Knights, posing as the Nanten, kidnap her. Delita takes her from them, intending to take her to Zeltennia Castle, but decides to leave her with Ramza and Agrias for the time being. Ovelia and Ramza head to Lionel Castle, where she assumes Cardinal Draclau will protect her. (Ovelia pours out her heart to Agrias, telling her how she wishes she wasn't a princess...) However, Draclau uses her as bait to capture Ramza and his new friend Mustadio. Draclau locks her up, and Delita and Vormav visit her; Vormav tells her that she's not the real princess. Draclau doesn't intend to hurt her, however; and Delita ends up taking her to Zeltennia as he wanted to before. After the death of Draclau, Goltana proclaims Ovelia as the rightful ruler of Ivalice (whether with or against her will is unclear). She spends her time free in Zeltennia, but not allowed to leave it. Delita finds her crying in the ruins of the Church, and comforts her; he realizes he's falling for her as a person, and not seeing her as just another stepping stone to his ambitions. Later, Ovelia is visited by Olan (whom she seems to know, and she calls Orlandu "Uncle"). Delita steps in before Olan can finish, and tells Ovelia of his true hopes. Ovelia listens to what Delita decides to do with Olan (he locks him up, but only until Ramza's finishes with his quest). After Ramza defeats the Lucavi, Delita marries Ovelia and becomes king of Ivalice. However, the deaths of Ramza and Delita's uncompromising ambition begin to eat away at her sanity; one day many years later, on her birthday, she rushes at Delita and stabs him. He stabs her back in shock, and the dynasty of the Lion War ends.

Queklain Show Images
Title/Given Job: Impure King
Queklain is the Lucavi assosciated with Cardinal Draclau and the Scorpio Stone. He was defeated by Ramza in Lionel Castle.

Rafa Galthana Show Images
Given Job: Heaven Knight
Personality/Goals: A soft-spoken young woman with a rebellious streak. All she wants is to be free of those who persecute her.
History: Rafa and her brother Malak were raised by Grand Duke Barinten (who really only wanted their powers as Heaven and Hell Knights). Barinten had previously burned their village because of those powers. Rafa continually has doubts about her "father" - especially after he rapes her. She becomes afraid to disobey him. She and Malak head an assassin organization called the "Ryomoku", led by Barinten (the Ryomoku is dissolved after the Fifty Year War). Rafa finally runs away from Barinten when she discovers his war crimes. Malak tries to chase after her, but Ramza rescues her from him. However, Rafa is forced to accompany Ramza back to Riovanes when Malak tells him that he won't see Alma again if Rafa doesn't go back. Rafa has a confrontation with Barinten on the roof of Riovanes, but Malak overhears and, finally convinced, takes the bullet meant for Rafa. However, Rafa revives Malak with the Taurus Holy Stone, and she joins Ramza in his quest to defeat the Lucavi.

Ramza Beoulve Show Images
Title: Hokuten Cadet; Heretic
Given Job: Squire
Personality/Goals: A noble the son of nobles, Ramza is the hero of FF Tactics. His absolute inability to abide wrongdoing leads to a long and arduous quest to discover the truth and right the wrongs in Ivalice. He gets along very well with his sister Alma (whom he continually has to rescue from those who wish to use her) but not as well with his other two brothers, Zalbag and Dycedarg (who were from different mothers). At first he believes that he's fighting to clear the Beoulve name from the horrors Dycedarg has caused it, but later, a conversation with Rafa opens his eyes to his true nature - his kindness.
History: Almost every event in the game involves Ramza; check the Complete Timeline for his history.

Reis Dular Show Images
Given Job: Holy Dragon; Dragoner
Personality/Goals: No one really knows. She's in love with Beowulf, though.
History: The love Reis shared with Beowulf sparked jealousy from Priest Buremonda of Lionel. He cast a curse on Beowulf, but Reis sacrificed herself for him, becoming a dragon. She quickly escaped the scene, ashamed of her new form, and Beowulf began to search for her. He finally finds her (with Ramza's help) in the deepest section of the Goland Colliery; she's beset by an Archaic Demon named Schinoeg who wants her Aquarius Holy Stone. Ramza and Beowulf rescue her. She accompanies them to Nelveska Temple, where a Steel Giant named Worker 7-new guards the now-defunct temple. They defeat it and pick up the Cancer Zodiac Stone it leaves behind. With the Cancer Stone, Reis can change back into human form. However, her long years in dragon form have changed her forever; she can't talk normally, or use or equip normal human items. She also still has a strong rapport with all dragons.

Rofel Wodring Show Images
Title: Temple Knight
Given Job: Divine Knight
Personality/Goals: Rofel is soft-spoken but hard-actioned. He's completely ruthless and dedicated to Vormav and to ressurrecting Altima.
History: Rofel enters the fray when he arrives at Igros with a message from Vormav - reconsider accepting the Church's mediation offer. When Dycedarg refuses, Rofel gives him several overt hints that the Church knows of his assassination of his father Balbanes. Rofel, in a plot to give the Lucavi demon Adramelk a host body, leaves him the Capricorn Holy Stone as a "token of good will". Later, Rofel accompanies Vormav to Murond Holy Place to wrest the location of Murond Death City from High Priest Funeral. Even after Funeral gives the location, Rofel stays behind and stabs him again, just to make sure. Rofel is later the one who opens the way to Murond Death City from Orbonne Monastery, using the Germonik Scriptures. He guards the entrance, but when Ramza defeats him, he sends the entire party to Murond Death City, and destroys the entrance before he dies.

Rudvich, Bart Show Images
An asinine and incompetent bad guy, Rudvich owns the criminal Bart Company (which has many legal cover businesses, but deals in practically everything illegal as well). He is hired by Cardinal Draclau to find the Taurus Holy Stone, but bungles everything up, including letting Ramza know that the Cardinal is behind him. Draclau (and his alterego Queklain) kills Rudvich for his incompetence.

Ruvelia Atkascha Show Images
Title: Queen of Ivalice
When her weak-willed husband Omdolia was crowned king, she really took over the reins of the kingdom. However, she soon turned out to be a trifle megalomaniac, issuing ridiculous orders and sentencing all who argued with her to death. She wished her son Orinas to become king, not Ovelia; she hatched a plot with her brother Larg to kidnap Ovelia. However, the truth leaked out, and Ruvelia was captured by Goltana's Nanten Knights and taken to Bethla Garrison to stew for her crime.

Simon Pen Rakshu Show Images
Title: Pagan Examiner; Head of Orbonne Monastery
Simon is a kind-hearted old man who has kept a dark secret all his life. He discovered the radical Germonik Scriptures in Orbonne and spent his life dissecting it and annotating it. He used to be a Pagan Examiner for the Church, but quit after one incident, hoping to spend the rest of his life in peace at Orbonne. He was overjoyed when Princess Ovelia came to his monastery; she lent life to the entire place. He also dubiously received the Virgo Zodiac Stone from her forbears when she arrived. However, he was caught up in the Lion War and killed by the Temple Knights when they came searching for the Virgo Stone. He gave the Stone to Ramza for keeping before he died.

St. Ajora Glabados Show Images
The Legend: St. Ajora was born in Bervenia and raised in Milodos. The day he was born, he went to the town well and said that the well meant death; as it turned out, the well was tainted. His popularity grew until the Holy Empire Yudora began to be fearful of him; they executed him at Golgorand Execution Site. However, days after his death, the headquarters of the Fara Church were destroyed in a giant tidal wave. This was taken to be a supernatural occurence, and the Glabados Church was born. Legend also states that Ajora took 12 Zodiac Stones and defeated an evil demon summoned by a king of Limberry.
The Person: Ajora began as a petty spy, selling information about countries to the highest bidder. The Yudora Empire got wind of his actions and sent a spy, Germonik, to find out his activities. Germonik found more than he bargained for, though. It's unclear whether Ajora summoned the Lucavi or vice versa, but he was chosen to be the host for the Lucavi leader, Altime. Germonik found several Holy Stones (Virgo among them) and informed the Empire of Ajora's plans; the Empire, justifiably fearful of the havoc Ajora would cause, executed him. However, his spirit rested in Murond Death City, in the Airship Graveyard. 1200 years later, he was ressurrected by Hashmalum, a Lucavi demon, but defeated yet again by Ramza.

Teta Hyral Show Images
Delita's sister was basically adopted by Balbanes Beoulve as part of the Beoulve family. She attended Igros Aristocratic School with her close friend Alma. She was hounded by her peers because of her lowly status. She's unwillingly thrust into the fray when Golagros, a Death Corps member, carries out a failed assassination attempt on Dycedarg, and instead takes Teta as a hostage to allow him to escape. He takes her to the windmill on Fovoham Plains, then retreats to Fort Zeakden. There he's met by both Ramza's troops, and the Hokuten Knights, led by Zalbag. Algus, by order of Zalbag, shoots Teta with a crossbow, leaving Golagros open; he shoots Golagros as well. Golagros, fatally wounded, then locks himself in the fort. Delita goes insane over Algus's actions and kills him; Delita then kneels by Teta's side. Golagros suddenly ignites the explosives in the fort, but Delita is unable to move because of his grief. Teta, with her last strength, shields Delita from the blast with her own body.

Valowa Show Images
Title: King of Ordalia
Valowa was crowned king after his brother Diwanu died. He led the forces of Ordalia against Ivalice in the Fifty Year War, but died before the war ended, succeeded by his son Prince Lanard.

Velius Show Images
Title/Given Job: Warlock
Velius is the Lucavi assosciated with the Aries Stone and Wiegraf. He took control of Wiegraf after he was fatally wounded by Ramza. He left, but later faced Ramza's troops in an all-out battle in Riovanes Castle. Ramza slew Velius, who left only his Zodiac Stone behind.

Vormav Tingel Show Images
Title: Head of Temple Knights
Given Job: Divine Knight
Personality/Goals: Vormav's true personality is unknown; he's been completely taken over by his alterego, the Lucavi Hashmalum. He lives to ressurrect his master Altima, after which the Lucavi can basically do whatever the hell they want.
History: Vormav enters the picture in Lionel, where he visits Ovelia in her cell and informs her of her true identity. He is later summoned to Riovanes to meet with Barinten, who wants to force the Temple Knights into helping him by threatening them with the Germonik Scriptures. Vormav, maddened not only by this but by his son Izlude's incompetency in letting Barinten get Izlude's two Holy Stones, turns into Hashmalum and goes on a rampage, killing not only Barinten's troops but also Izlude. Vormav later enters the main hall again to find Alma. He walks up to her, intending to kill her, but his Virgo Stone reacts with her, making him believe that she's the intended host body of Altima. He takes her with him. Vormav later meets with the ressurrected Elmdor in Limberry Castle; he decides to go on a quest to find Murond Death City, the place where Altima's soul rests. He travels to Murond Holy Place and confronts High Priest Funeral, wounding him. He tells him he'll let him live if Funeral tells him the location of Murond Death City. Funeral complies, telling him that he'd still need to open the gate there (the spell is in the Germonik Scriptures) but Rofel stabs him anyway. Vormav then confronts Ramza and demands the Holy Stones and the Germonik Scriptures in exchange for Alma. Ramza gives him the Scriptures but won't give him the Stones till he shows him Alma. Vormav, Rofel, and Kletian fight Ramza but lose; they disappear, going to Orbonne. Vormav stays ahead of Ramza and reaches the farthest depths of Murond Death City, the Airship Graveyard. He tries to revive St. Ajora but fails; he concludes he needs more blood and turns into Hashmalum, to fight Ramza. Ramza beats him, but Hashmalum sacrifices himself to St. Ajora, finally completing the ressurrection process.

Wiegraf Folles Show Images
Title: Head of Knights of Death; head of Death Corps; Temple Knight
Given Job: White Knight
Personality/Goals: A shrewd young man who fights for a purpose. He's even willing to die for that purpose, but he isn't interested in more suffering than necessary. He's still fairly cold-blooded, though. He's fiercely protective of his sister Miluda, also a Death Corps member.
History: Wiegraf headed the anti-aristocratic Knights of Death during the Fifty Year War; after they disbanded, they resurfaced as the Death Corps. After Gustav kidnaps Marquis Elmdor (at Dycedarg's request), an enraged Wiegraf begins to search for him. (He knows that the nobles will come down like a load of bricks on him.) A fencer in Dorter Trade City leads him to the Sand Rat Cellar in Zeklaus Desert. He gets there before Ramza and stabs Gustav. Ramza confronts him, but lets him go in exchange for the Marquis' life. Wiegraf later guards the windmill at Fovoham Plains, where Teta (Golagros's hostage) is kept. He's defeated, but escapes. He surfaces many months later as a Temple Knight under Vormav's orders. He lives for revenge against Ramza for Miluda's death. He finally gets his chance at Orbonne, but is fatally wounded by Ramza. His grief and despair summon Velius, who signs a pact with Wiegraf's blood, allowing Velius to take over Wiegraf's mind and body. Wiegraf/Velius later meets Ramza for a final time in Riovanes Castle; Ramza defeats Wiegraf/Velius and all that's left is his Aries Stone.

Worker 7-new Show Images
Given Job: Steel Giant

Zalbag Beoulve Show Images
Title: Head of Hokuten Knights
Given Job: Arc Knight
Personality/Goals: A noble and devout knight who refuses to hear any bad words about his brother... until events point otherwise. When he finally sees the truth, he pursues it without heed.
History: Zalbag, at Balbanes' behest, took over the Hokuten Knights when Balbanes died. He meets Ramza, Delita, and Algus at Igros, and tells them that a spy following the Death Corps was headed towards Dorter (little knowing what repercussions those few words would have). Later, Zalbag foils Golagros's attempt on Dycedarg's life, but can't save Teta from him. By Dycedarg's order, Zalbag pursues Golagros to Fort Zeakden and tells Algus to kill both Teta and Golagros. Ashamed, he then returns to Lesalia Imperial Capital. Many months later, he's visited by Ramza, who tries to tell him of Dycedarg's treachery, but Zalbag refuses to listen. After the decisive battle at Bethla Garrison, Zalbag finds both Dycedarg and Larg mildly poisoned. Dycedarg suddenly stabs Larg, and tells Zalbag to put the knife in the hands of a dead Hokuten, claiming that the Hokuten was a Nanten spy and killed Larg. However, Larg's dying words, accusing Dycedarg of killing his father Balbanes, shocks Zalbag and he resolves to find out more. He travels to Igros, meaning to find out more, but ends up overhearing a conversation between Dycedarg and Rofel where Rofel gives several strong hints regarding Dycedarg's poisoning Balbanes with Mosfungus. Zalbag decides to find out once and for all; he hires a chemist to go to Balbanes' grave. The chemist confirms that Balbanes was killed by Mosfungus poisoning. Zalbag, in a righteous rage, heads back to Igros to confront Dycedarg. He kills him, but Dycedarg turns into Adramelk and destroys Zalbag, not even leaving a body. Zalbag is later ressurrected against his will as a zombie, forced to fight Ramza in the basement of Murond Holy Place. He begs Ramza to kill him; Ramza reluctantly complies, and Zalbag finally rests in peace.
