Bremondt Freitberg
Celebrant Bremondt Freitberg is a character in Final Fantasy Tactics. While he does not appear in the original game, his name is mentioned in the PS1 Person (Personae in War of the Lions) entries of both Beowulf Cadmus and Reis Duelar by the name of Buremonda. He is the secret boss at the end of a sidequest in The War of the Lions and is mentioned by both Beowulf and Folmarv Tengille in The Ivalice Chronicles.
History[]
Bremondt is the antagonist in the side story of Beowulf Cadmus. He was possessive, delusional, lustful, and weak-willed. Bremondt turned Reis into a dragon, although the curse was meant to target Beowulf.
Bremondt graduated from the Royal Magick Akademy in Gariland, which earned him the title to Lionel Castle following the death of Cardinal Delacroix at the hands of Ramza Beoulve. Despite his magickal prowess, Bremondt cowered behind the mercenaries he recruited to halt Beowulf and Ramza from rescuing Reis. He convinced himself that he was Reis's true love, and that Beowulf had tricked her.
Once his recruits fell, Bremondt transformed into a Dark Dragon, but was beaten. Even unto his last breath, he claimed, "Reis... is... mine..." to which Beowulf revealed the depth of his pure love and selflessness, and replied, "Reis belongs to no one."
In The Ivalice Chronicles, Beowulf and Folmarv Tengille mentioned Bremondt, calling him a clergyman whom Beowulf had slain, leading him to becoming a heretic. Beowulf told Folmarv their story and Folmarv called Bremondt a "frivolous fool" while branding him a heretic for utilizing magick more powerful than the cardinal's.
