Bestrald Larg

Prince Larg is one of two rival nobles seeking power in Final Fantasy Tactics, the other being Prince Goltana. Larg is represented by the White Lion crest and defended by the Hokuten Knights.

Prior to the Lion War
Upon the death of Balbanes Beoulve, Larg takes his eldest son Dycedarg as his personal assistant, and the next eldest Beoulve, Zalbag, becomes leader of the Hokuten. When Ramza, the youngest of Balbanes' male heirs, defies Dycedarg's orders and rescues Marquis Elmdor from the Death Corps, Larg commends Ramza despite Dycedarg's objections.

It is unclear whether or not Larg knew about the kidnapping of Princess Ovelia, which was set up using Hokuten disguised as Nanten to frame Goltana. In truth, Dycedarg was behind the kidnapping, even hiring Delita Hyral to do the actual kidnapping, though he was unaware that Delita was a double-agent for Goltana. However, Larg did stand much to gain had Ovelia been killed. This would have meant that the young child Orinas would become king, resulting in Larg becoming regent. Had Ovelia become Queen, Goltana would likely end up as regent.

The Lion War and Death
Following the sudden death of the King, both Larg and Goltana attempted to enthrone their candidates for King, resulting in the Lion War. It all culminated into the Battle of Bethla Garrison, where the Hokuten besieged the Nanten's primary stronghold. During the battle, an engineer named Balk working for the Murond Glabados Church who was secretly orchestrating the war for its own purposes, spread Mosfungus poison throughout the Hokuten ranks. This weakened the Hokuten forces, including both Larg and Dycedarg.

Dycedarg, somewhat less affected than the Prince, discovered Larg lying down at the top of a hill overlooking the garrison. Larg would have recovered from the poison, but at that moment Dycedarg betrayed him, stabbing him with a dagger. As Larg died, he accused Dycedarg of having killed Balbanes as well, leading Zalbag to question Dycedarg's intentions.
