Final Fantasy Type-0
Bashtar is known as the empire's most skilled magitek pilot. He was discovered by Marshal Cid Aulstyne himself, and quickly promoted to general. Just before war broke out in Orience, the empire devised a three-part campaign to invade the dominion. The first phase was Operation Solar Eclipse, in which Brigadier General Qator Bashtar would lead a blitzkrieg attack on the Vermilion Peristylium from the ocean. Accompanied by the provisional First Airmobile Force and a l'Cie-piloted magitek armor, the general's objective was to force Akademeia to surrender. While the empire succeeds in conquering most of the dominion, Akademeia and thus the Vermilion Bird Crystal were protected by Class Zero. Afterward, the dominion begins its long campaign to reclaim the conquered areas.

During Rubrum and Concordia's joint attack on Togoreth Stronghold, Qator slaughters many of the opposing soldiers with his new flying magitek armor Gabriel before confronting Class Zero. He is forced to fall back after fighting them. When Class Zero infiltrates the imperial magitek factory and face off against the White Tiger Crystal l'Cie Nimbus, a ceasefire is called as the Fabula Pact has been invoked between the empire, Concordia and Rubrum. Qator delivers the news to Nimbus and the cadets, saying all combat operations must halt and anyone who violates the pact is executed. The cadets give up the battle, but are puzzled a ceasefire with such terms was called at a time Rubrum had deliberately deployed them for a sabotage mission to imperial territory.

Later, when Caetuna summons Alexander to defeat Militesi, Machina erects a forcefield around himself and Qator's Magitek. Due to heavy casualties, Qator decides to retreat.

When Class Zero arrives at the capital of Militesi, Ingram, Qator attacks them head on in his Magitek mecha Gabriel before learning that an Ultima Bomb secretly installed into the Gabriel. Refusing to allow the city to be destroyed, Qator takes the bomb into the atmosphere and jettisons it. However, the Gabriel was damaged from the fight and thus was unable to escape the explosion.

Gameplay
Qator pilots a Magitek armor called Gabriel that is capable of flying with a jet fighter mode. He is fought twice in Chapter 2 and again at the end of Chapter 7.

Qator is voiced by Hideo Ishikawa in the Japanese version. He shares his Japanese voice actor with Cait Sith from Final Fantasy VII, Auron from Final Fantasy X, and Squall Leonhart from the  and Dissidia series.
