Rasler Heios Nabradia



Rasler Helos Nabradia is one of the characters of Final Fantasy XII. Prince of Nabradia, he defends his homeland with all his might.

Story
Married to Princess Ashe of Dalmasca when she was only 17, Rasler knew that their marriage was only for conveniance, a symbol of the alliance between Nabradia and Dalmasca. However, since his country was under threat from the invading Archadian Empire, he was willing to play along. That's not to say that he did not have feelings for his new bride, just that he wished they could have met under better circumstances.

While Nalbina Fortress was under siege, Rasler volunteered to lead the defence, alongside Captain Basch. However, while atop his chocobo steed, an arrow went through his chest, killing him right there. Basch ordered the retreat, taking his fallen lord with him. He was buried soon after.

However, even in death, Rasler guided his wife, or so Ashe thought. Whenever Ashe found an ancient relic of the Dynast King, she also found the spirit of Rasler, encouraging her to take the relic, and strike at the Archadian Empire. However, eventually Ashe realises that this is not really a spirit of Rasler, since she knew that he would never want to take in base revenge. Striking at it, it is revealed to be nothing but an illusion, the Occuria trying to control the Princess, so that she may be their new Dynast King.
