Arazlam Durai



Arazlam Durai, also known as Alazlam Durai, is a minor character from Final Fantasy Tactics. He is the descendant of Orran Durai, the writer of the Durai Papers, which were never published since Orran was executed for heresy. Arazlam claims to have rediscovered the report, curiously not destroyed by the Church of Glabados, and convinces the player that the so-called hero Delita Heiral was not who he seemed to be and that Ramza Beoulve was the real hero.

While the character is referred to as Alazlam J. D. and Alazlam J. Durai in the original Final Fantasy Tactics (his identity as a descendant of Orran not being revealed until the end of the game), the War of the Lions PSP port shortens his name to Arazlam Durai.

Vagrant Story
Arazlam is credited as A. J. Durai in Vagrant Story, and the passage above is a quote attributed to him during the prologue of the game.

Trivia

 * It seems that the events of Final Fantasy Tactics take place 400 and some years before Arazlam Durai finds the papers as hinted by one of the books he wrote "The Durai Papers: 400 Years of Truth."
 * Similarly, the events of Vagrant Story apparently take place 5 years before Durai penned his writings about Leá Monde, as one of his excerpts place the earthquake that destroyed the city "20 years ago" as opposed to the rest of the game which states the event occured "25 years ago."
