Bergan



Judge Bergan is a character in Final Fantasy XII. An antagonist, he is a Judge Magister, the highest rank possible in the Archadian military. A cruel man, he strongly believes in miltary might, and that only the strong should rule, with an iron fist.

Story
Judge Bergan's appearance is short. First seen when Emperor Gramis is killed, he is more than willing to accept Vayne as Archadia's new Emperor, since Vayne also believes in ruling with absolute power. However, when Judge Drace accuses Vayne of killing his own father, Bergan easily knocks her aside, by using the power of manufacted nethicite.

Bergan is then sent with Judge Gabranth to Mt. Bur-Omisace to retrieve Lord Larsa. While Gabranth just escorts the young lord back to Archadia quietly, Bergan has other ideas. Going on a rampage, by using the power of manufacted nethicite, Bergan slaughters the people of Mt. Bur-Omisace, including the Gran Kiltias Anastasis. The player party arrives too late to save the Gran Kiltias, but they manage to corner Bergan. As he lectures the party on the brilliance of manufacted nethicite, Vaan manages to see Venat controlling the Judge. The party try to talk the Judge out of doing anything else, but, with the power of nethicite coursing through his body, Bergan attacks the party in a rage. After he is defeated, the power of the nethicite overwhelms him, killing him where he stands.

Battle
Bergan is fought by the player at Mt. Bur-Omisace. The battle is noticeably different between the US and Japanese versions.
