Final Fantasy XII[]

The party meets Elza at Balfonheim after talking to Reddas. She is found with Rikken and Raz outside Reddas's manor. Questioning whether the party has Reddas's best interests at heart, she wonders if they should be helping them. Rikken silences her by asking if she had complained to Reddas.

When the party returns from the Pharos, Elza is not surprised by Reddas's death, knowing that her master had been searching for a place to die all along. When the other two start mourning, she tells them they should not regret Reddas's passing since that would worry Reddas, and he should rest in peace.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings[]

The party runs into Elza accompanying Rikken and Daz, who challenge the party to a battle to see who is stronger.
