The King and Queen of Eblan.
The King of Eblan and the Queen of Eblan are minor NPCs in Final Fantasy IV. They were the parents of Prince Edge.
Story
Final Fantasy IV
After Eblan Castle was attacked, the people of Eblan fled to the Cave of Eblan . At some unspecified point, Edge left and the King and Queen were abducted by Dr. Lugae, who turned them into chimeric monsters and kept them at the top of the Tower of Babil. Edge, enraged by this, set out with a force of Eblan soldiers to travel through the rear of the Cave of Eblan to reach the Tower of Babil, intent on challenging Rubicante and saving his parents.
When the party visits the upper half of the tower, they face Edge's parents before the two come to their senses, and stop fighting. They then speak to Edge, telling him that he is ready to rule Eblan. Then, they committed suicide by self-destructing. The resulting rage over their deaths and Rubicante's indifference empowers Edge to help him defeat the Archfiend.
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
During Edge's Tale he travels through the Cave of Eblan and visits the graves of his parents in the same chamber as the Eblan people took shelter in. Edge reflects that being buried there, out of sight, was in accordance with his father's wishes, and thinks that he was a ninja to the end.
