Story
Ominas is first seen at the city of Caldisla, where he is looking for the wind vestal with Edea and some Eternian Sky Knights. He sets the house Ringabel was staying in on fire, and plans to put more buildings ablaze if the townspeople don't give him the vestal. Edea calls his actions wrong and after arguing with him, Ominas decides to leave, warning that he will come back the next day to burn another building, and keep doing so until the vestal is given to them.

At the ruins of Centro Keep, Edea warns Ominas she won't watch him burn more of the city of Caldisla, and will stop him herself if necessary. Ominas is greatly irritated by her attitude, but finds a way to vent his frustration when the party finds them. Despite the warnings of Edea, Ominas casts Fire in the small room they are in, hitting his own soldiers in the process. This is the final straw for Edea who asks the party to help her take down the Black Mage. Ominas soon meets his end at their hands.

In the second world, the party finds Ominas who seems terrified to see them, calling them not real. In the midst of the battle, Ominas kept asking why they despised him so much, leaving the party very confused. In the third world, Ominas was expecting the arrival of Edea under his command, and first thought the rest of the party were her attendants. But he quickly recognized Agnès as the wanted wind vestal and, calling Edea an illusion, engaged the battle. In the fourth world, Ominas thought the party to be intruders, and summoned his pet Fire D'gon Bahamut to help him battle the party. After being defeated, Heinkel and Barras came to his help, engaging the party in a second battle before Heinkel has Barras carry Ominas and Bahamut to safety.

In the fifth world, Ominas was with the other Eternian Sky Knights at the Lontano Villa when the party found them. After battling them and losing, he promptly retreated to the airship bringing them back to the Central Command of Eternia. Appointed leader of his squad made of Qada, Mephilia and Sage Yulyana, he insisted the latter should be the one leading, calling himself a lone wolf and stating he was happier in the shadows.

Trivia

 * Bahamut is a recurring figure of Final Fantasy games, often portrayed as the strongest dragon the player can find. His appearance in Bravely Default makes for a comical contrast.
