Corpse Brigade

The Death Corps is a terrorist organization from Final Fantasy Tactics. They are led by Wiegraf Folles, and consist of peasant soldiers from the Fifty Year's War, who were denied their pay at the end of the war.

The Kidnap of Marquis Elmdor
Against Wiegraf's orders, Gustav Margueriff, one of Wiegraf's senior officers, had Marquis Elmdor of Limberry kidnapped. One of the Marquis' servants, Algus Sadalfas, escaped and was rescued by Ramza Beoulve's Hokuten unit. The Death Corps then demanded a ransom, but Ramza's forces launched an effort to locate and rescue Elmdor. At about that time, Wiegraf learned of Gustav's actions. He tracked down Gustav to the Sand Rat Cellar and killed him. When Ramza arrived, Wiegraf released Elmdor in exchange for his own freedom.

The Assassination Attempt
Shortly afterward, Ramza's forces were dispatched to deal with a Death Corps force led by Miluda Folles (Wiegraf's sister) that was operating out of the Thieves' Fort. Ramza's group defeated Miluda, but he allowed her to go free, much to Algus' disbelief. Meanwhile, Golagros, another Death Corps leader snuck into Igros Castle, and attempted to kill Dycedarg Beoulve, the eldest of Ramza's siblings. When this proved futile, he attempted to kidnap the youngest Beoulve, Alma. Zalbag, the other Beoulve sibling confronted him, and Golagros, seeing Alma's friend Teta Hyral nearby, seized her instead. He took his hostage to the Windmill Hut near Fort Zeakden.

The Death Corps' Defeat
Zalbag and Algus immediately mobilized the Hokuten for a frontal assault on the fort. As they did so, Ramza, joined by Teta's brother Delita attempted a rescue from behind. In the resulting series of events, Miluda was killed, the Death Corps were defeated and Wiegraf fled. The final senior leader of the Death Corps, Golagros, took Teta to Fort Zeakden and made his final stand against the approaching Hokuten army. Just as Ramza and Delita arrived, Algus opened fire with his crossbow, killing both Teta and Golagros. In retaliation for his sister's death, Delita attacked and killed Algus. Just before succumbing, Golagros lit the gunpowder stores of Fort Zeakden, destroying the fort, and nearly killing Delita.

Wiegraf went on to join the Temple Knights, and eventually became one with the Lucavi demon Velius, before he too was slain.
