Montblanc

Montblanc is a recurring character in the Ivalice Alliance. He is a hard working moogle, and in all his appearances, he is in charge of a clan. He is named after a chestnut sweet pastry named Mont Blanc. He is one of six Moogle siblings, the others being Nono, Hurdy, Gurdy, Horne, & Sorbet, also known as the "moogle brothers".

Final Fantasy XII
In Final Fantasy XII, Montblanc is the leader of a clan in the city of Rabanastre, which the player can join. The clan, called Clan Centurio, is a clan devoted to hunting marks of extreme difficulty. By joining Clan Centurio, the player will gain access to the clan shop, as well as being able to find bills not found on common pubs. In the Clan's headquarters, Montblanc stands at the top of the stairs on the banister in the middle, with the clan's founding members and trusty friends Krjn and Ma'kenroh behind him.

Over time, Montblanc reveals his founding of the clan is due to a figure who taught him and his five siblings the ways of world and they all looked up to him. But after Yiazmat took away the man, Montblanc started Clan Centurio, to find the strongest warrior to fight Yiazmat and avenge his teacher.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Montblanc is Marche Radiuju's most prominent ally in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, his first appearance. He is a Moogle, and prior to Marche's arrival is the leader of the clan which eventually becomes Clan Nutsy. When Marche is teleported to the dream Ivalice by the Gran Grimoire, he incites the wrath of two pugnacious Bangaa. Montblanc arrives on the scene in time to guide Marche through the systems of laws and engagements and helps him win the battle with the Bangaa.

Montblanc seems to have expected Marche's appearance, explaining to the Bangaa that Marche had "just come in from the country". The Moogle is then suprised to learn of Marche's story and his ignorance of the races of Ivalice, but invites the foreigner into Clan Nutsy anyway. Whether Montblanc decided to help Marche because he genuinely knew of his arrival in Ivalice or because he simply wanted to help a stranger in need is not clear.

Montblanc starts off as a Black Mage and can learn any Moogle job. As a storyline character, he may not be dispatched on any missions. Montblanc can be removed permanently from the game by letting him die in a Jagd, upon which a short scene will occur with Marche saying goodbye to his friend.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift


Montblanc returns as a playable character in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. The scene in which Montblanc first appears is humorously similar to the one where he first appeared in the first Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. In a side story, Montblanc is mentioned as one who gives encouragement to his younger brother Hurdy to travel the world. He also mentioned to bring back the rare and expensive vintage wine called Prudence - which is one of the wines found in Vagrant Story's Leá Monde - even though he doesn't actually drink.

In order to recruit him, the player must obtain the Gigas Pendant, Earrings of the Dead, and the Pin of Order. The quest Wanted: Friends, Kupo! will then appear at a pub. Montblanc was seeking these rare items, but upon seeing that Luso already has all of them he decides to give up on his treasure hunt and joins the clan for his stay in Jylland. When Hurdy asks him if it's alright for him to leave Clan Centurio unattended for his brief stay in Jylland, Montblanc claims Bansat will take care of things.

He joins the clan as a Black Mage, equipped with a Chill Rod and Magick Robe, and the spells Fire, Fira, Firaga, Thunder, Thundara, and Thundaga already mastered.
