Basch profile

Basch fon Ronsenburgis is a 36 year-old character in Final Fantasy XII game. He is the Captain in the Order of Knights of Dalmasca. He was born in the Republic of Landis, along with his twin brother, Noah. After the Archadian Empire conquered their homeland, Basch fled to Dalmasca, he become a prominent and beloved member of the Kingdom. When Archadia attacked Nalbina Fortress, Basch led the defense. He, along with Lord Rasler Heios Nabradia, valiantly defended the fortress against the invading armies of Archadia. However, the Archadian forces proved too much for them to handle. Basch was the one responsible for carrying Lord Rasler from the field of battle after he was mortally wounded by an arrow to the chest (despite Basch's efforts to stop the assailant).

After the Archadian occupation, he and Captain Azelas led an assault on Nalbina Fortress in an attempt to save the king, only to be captured by Imperial forces. As part of Vayne's plot to frame Basch, Noah, now Gabranth, posed as his brother and slew the Dalmascan king and later Vaan's older brother, Reks, who witnessed the crime. As a result, Basch is regarded by the Dalmascans as a traitor, and was stated to have been executed by Marquis Ondore. In reality, Basch was imprisoned alive in the Nalbina Dungeons by Vayne as a means of ensuring Ondore remains loyal to the Empire - if Ondore betrayed the Empire, all Vayne would have to do would be to announce Basch's continued survival to destroy the Marquis' credibility.

He was eventually freed by Vaan, Balthier, and Fran who were trying to escape Nalbina dungeons. Though all three were initially suspicious of him, Vaan in particular, the party did catch a look at Gabranth's face, lending credibility to Basch's story that he had been framed. After the escape, he decided to protect Ashe and help the resistance, in spite of his past failures. He remained loyal as well, even through such events as Vossler's betrayal. It was Basch's devotion to honor despite everything else that most puzzled his twin, Gabranth, and was the source of the division between them. Eventually coming to respect Basch's viewpoint more than his own, Gabranth sought to redeem himself and remained true to his own devotion to Larsa Solidor, helping his brother and Ashe defeat Vayne on the Bahamut. After the battle, as Noah was dying, he asked his brother to protect Larsa in his place to ensure peace. Because common belief of Captain Ronsenberg being dead, Basch easily took over his brother's stead as "Judge Magister Gabranth" to be the protector of the new Emperor Larsa Solidor.

In the sequel Final Fantasy XII : Revenant Wings, though a Judge on false pretenses, Basch intends to protect the peace he and the others obtained when he journeyed as Larsa's representative to deal with the Judge of Wings. Basch's presence affects Kytes, who wishes to be like him someday

Fran profile

Fran is a Viera Warrior, She is Balthier companion in Final Fantasy XII. She wields a bow as her default weapon. She also the one who handles the maintenance of Balthier's airship, the Strahl. The lifespan of the Viera is far greater than that of humes, and lots of secrets lie hidden in her long history. Yet this does nothing to diminish the bond of trust between her and Balthier

Fran's hometown is Eruyt Village, a small enclave in Golmore Jungle where the Viera dwell. She left Eruyt Village and cast aside the Green Word fifty years prior to the events occurring in the game, believing that although her kind begin with the forest, she does not necessarily have to be bound to its end. She had no intention to return to the Wood ever again until she and the others needed to get to Mt. Bur-Omisace, which lay past Golmore. Unfortunately, the paths are sealed by Jote, Fran's older sister. Though normally the Viera would let none pass, Vaan's brashness convinces Jote to reveal that Fran and Jote's younger sister, Mjrn, had left the woods to explore the Henne Mines, and was taken by the humes. They depart for the Mines, finding Mjrn possessed by Venat. Upon their return back to Eruyt, Fran admits that she sometimes regrets the choice she made years ago, as she is no longer able to hear the forest, and fears the Wood hates her for leaving. Jote assures her otherwise,. Fran is skeptical, thinking Jote was just trying to comfort her. She leaves with the party, claiming to have become like a hume, and at ease with her conscience.

Fran, like all viera, which is exceptionally susceptible to the Mist that permeates Ivalice, with the burning of mist within Nethicite affect her from entering a feral rage, when Judge Ghis heated the Dawn Shard in his airship's engine, to being severely overwhelmed like with the Sun Cryst. Likewise, she could tell that the Mist was cooled in the Giruvegan. Of all the characters, she seems to be the wisest - fitting, as she is far older than the rest of the cast, despite her youthful appearance.

In Final Fantasy XII : Revenant Wings, Balthier and Fran are searching for the Cache of Glabados

Balthier Profile

Balthier, or known as Balflear in the Japanese language version fo Final Fantasy XII, is a 22 year-old Hume sky pirate who pilots the Strahl, a small airship around the skies of Ivalice. He and Fran, prefer to remain neutral outside of the war between the kingdoms of Ivalice. But, their attempt to steal the Goddess's Magicite, from the Dalmascan Royal Palace lead them to different way. Vaan stole it first, and caught in the fray of a rebel assault against the Imperial Palace, Balthier and Fran find themselves going against Archadia.

Balthier is son of Dr. Cid (Cidolfus Demen Bunansa). Balthier grew weary of his father's madness and obsession with Nethicite. Although Cid had made him an Imperial Judge, Ffamran eventually decided to cut his ties with his father and his role as a judge, becoming a sky pirate under a new name. With his new career, Balthier amounted a sizable bounty on his head, attracting the attention of bounty hunters such as Ba'Gamnan. Unfortunately for Balthier, it took him a while to realize he'd been following his father in pursuing Nethicite while he served in the resistance. Though he made peace with his father prior to his death, Balthier went with the group to destroy the Sky Fortress Bahamut as penance for his father's deeds.

Balthier claims to be the "leading man" of the story many times throughout the game, and insists that this status makes him invincible. This viewpoint draws credibility from his near-death experience when the Bahamut crashed near Rabanastre. Though presumed dead, he and Fran apparently retrieved the Strahl back from Vaan and Penelo a year later, leaving a note for the new Queen Ashe indicating that they are still alive. Both he and Fran intend on finding the Cache of Glabados, which is resolved in the game's sequel, Revenant Wings when it turned out to tied to Eternal. Balthier was at first intent to take Lemures' treasure, the Auracite, but knew the truth behind it and attempted to destroy the Auralith, eventually rejoining Vaan's group to fight the Judge of Wings, letting Vaan be the "leading man" while he himself leaves the limelight.

Balthier made a crossover appearance in Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. He also appears in Itadaki Street Portable.
