Balthier

Balthier from Final Fantasy XII is a secret playable character in Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. Though Balthier is from Ivalice, he is from a very different time period. His zodiac sign is Leo.

Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

After fighting Meliadoul at Free City of Bervenia Ramza visits the Mining Town of Gollund and checks the rumor "Rash of Thefts" about a godless thief stealing precious cargo from the Church of Glabados. Ramza heads to the Merchant City of Dorter and checks the rumor "A Call For Guards" about precious cargo from Bervenia that needs an escort to Dorter.

When Ramza arrives at the Dorter slums he walks into an ambush as thieves attack him before realizing they've got the wrong man. Balthier steps out the shadows and condemns the thieves' ability to set a trap. Teaming up with Ramza, Balthier eliminates the thieves.

After the battle, Balthier explains he is a sky pirate looking for the Cache of Glabados. Ramza thinks Balthier is referring to the auracite, and when he asks Balthier what the cache is Balthier only mentions it is the reason he is currently in Ivalice.

When Ramza tells Balthier he thinks he knows what he is looking for, Balthier is more than keen to tag along, claiming the leading man never walks out of a little danger, even if he does feel more like a cameo role this time. Before they set off, Ramza comments Balthier can't be a pirate of the skies if he has no wings, while Balthier complains he is fed up of constantly following children.

Spoilers end here.
