Series appearances[]
Final Fantasy XIV[]
An alternate version of Desch was the ancestor of G'raha Tia. A Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te, he lived during the fall of the Allagan Empire 5,000 years ago. The princess of Allag, Salina, used Allagan technology to infuse her blood into Desch so that the royal bloodline would continue to live on, and with it the control of the Crystal Tower. Desch's descendants, the G tribe of the Seekers of the Sun, would occasionally be born with one red eye, known as the Allagan Eye, which represented the legacy of Desch and Salina.
Yūkyū no Kaze Densetsu: Final Fantasy III Yori[]
Desch appears in the manga adaptation of Final Fantasy III. He initially appears in a villainous role, using birds to attack towns and brainwash people into serving him. He captures and brainwashes Muuchi, forcing the rest of the Warriors of Light to rescue him. Desch turns out to be under the influence of a monster and, upon its defeat, turns good. He accompanies the party to the Castle of the Ancients and assists in the fight against Hein. He eventually sacrifices himself by merging with the Living Woods and sending the heroes to the surface. Desch differs from his later appearances in that he is more of a physical brawler, being strong enough chop a tree. He also has the ability to summon and command birds.

- Story
4★ - No. 0594:A mysterious man hailing from another world where tales are passed down of the Crystals and the Warriors of Light. Desch has no memories of his past, and is on a journey to find his true identity. Despite his personal predicament, he has quite a sunny disposition, even managing to form a romantic relationship with a woman named Salina from Canaan. However, he ultimately decides to set leave her behind in order to find the truth about his origins. This leads him to Dragon's Peak, where he meets the Warriors of Light and shortly joins them on their quest. Little did he know then that this would forever change his fate.
5★ - No. 0595:A young man hailing from another world where tales are passed down of the Crystals and the Warriors of Light. Desch had lost his memory for quite some time until he visited the Tower of Owen with the Warriors of Light, and began remembering his true identity. He was none other than the son of Owen the Ancient, tasked with looking after the Tower of Owen in his father's absence. Upon the Tower's completion, he had been placed in cryogenic sleep, a state that caused his memories to deteriorate over time. Meant to only awaken if the Tower were ever in danger, he fulfilled his duty by sacrificing his life in order to stabilize it.
6★ - No. 0596:A young man hailing from another world where tales are passed down of the Crystals and the Warriors of Light. Desch begins regaining his memories when he joins the Warriors of Light in their quest to save the world. Once they reach the Tower of Owen, all of his memories come flooding back and he remembers that not only is he is an Ancient, but also the caretaker of the Tower. Tasked with making sure that it never fails to keep the Floating Continent stable, he risks his life to secure the crumbling structure. Although many thought him dead after this feat, he actually survived to lend the Warriors of Light a hand when they needed it most.
