Bersudio is involved in the "Secrets Beneath Goug" Side Story during chapter 4, "In the Name of Love".
History[]
Trouble with Baert Trading Company[]
Besrudio ran afoul of Baert Trading Company, who had been hired by Cardinal Alphonse Delacroix to relieve him of the Taurus auracite he found in one of Goug's many digging expeditions. Besrudio was captured, but Mustadio escaped with the Stone, and was later rescued by Ramza Beoulve.
Besrudio held as a hostage.
Mustadio took Ramza to Goug, where the young machinist began searching for his father. Mustadio was also captured by Ludovich Baert, who brought both father and son before Ramza. Baert threatened to have Besrudio harmed if Mustadio did not divulge the location of the auracite. Besrudio told Mustadio not to help Baert, but Mustadio revealed that the Stone was in a chimney near Ramza. Baert forced Ramza to retrieve the Stone and then left with it. His thugs attacked, but Ramza and Mustadio defeated them. Besrudio bemoaned the loss of the Stone, but Mustadio had a trick up his sleeve: he had created a fake stone in case something like this happened. The stone Baert carried back to Delacroix was the counterfeit, and the merchant later paid for this with his life.
Discovering devices[]

Besrudio later discovered the deactivated Construct 8 beneath Goug and asked for Ramza and Mustadio's help in powering it up. Ramza retrieved the required auracite and Construct 8 immediately requested orders from Ramza. Wanting to have some fun, Ramza ordered Construct 8 to attack Mustadio. Construct 8 overdid it, knocking Mustadio out, and Ramza had to get him a phoenix down.
Later, Besrudio discovered another device, this time a dimensional portal that resembles an orrery. Another auracite was needed, and again Ramza retrieved the correct one. When the machine was activated, it summoned Cloud Strife into Ivalice.

With the release of Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, Besrudio and his son share the last name of "Bunansa" with the Final Fantasy XII characters Cidolfus Demen Bunansa and his son Balthier. Cidolfus is an inventor like Besrudio, and Balthier is a gunner like Mustadio, but the pairs' personalities are otherwise not alike.
