Beowulf! I had thought the joy of your embrace forever lost.
Reis Duelar
Reis Duelar, also known as Reis Dular, is a secret character from Final Fantasy Tactics. She is Beowulf's fiancée, but the confessor Celebrant Bremondt wants her for himself.
Reis and Beowulf's story is expanded in The War of the Lions and their story is also explained by Beowulf to Folmarv Tengille in The Ivalice Chronicles.
History[]
Reis and the curse[]
Reis was engaged to the templar Beowulf Cadmus. The two loved each other, but Reis had caught the eye of Celebrant Bremondt, who became delusional and wanted Reis for himself. Believing that he could buy her love with money and gifts, he tried everything he could to get Reis to love him.
However, Reis only cared for Beowulf. Enraged, Bremondt labeled Beowulf a heretic and stripped him of his rank as captain of the Gryphon Knights of Lionel. To make sure he was out of the picture forever, Bremondt prepared a curse for Beowulf. As he cast the spell, Reis pushed Beowulf out of the way, sacrificing herself for the one she loved. When the curse took effect, Reis lost her memories and became the Holy Dragon. Confused, she started wandering Ivalice and Beowulf went after her.
Removing the curse[]

Reis found herself in the coal mine of the Mining Town of Gollund, threatened by a group of monsters led by Syneugh. Beowulf arrived with Ramza Beoulve and saved her. Afterwards, Beowulf looked for a way to revert Reis. At Nelveska Temple, Reis, Ramza, and Beowulf defeated Construct 7 and collected the Cancer auracite. Beowulf used it to change Reis back into a human.
The War of the Lions[]
In The War of the Lions, when Beowulf and Reis returned to Lionel, Reis lamented that as long as Beowulf was a heretic, they could not return home. Beowulf told Reis that as long as he was with her, he would always be home. Beowulf left Reis to go and see if Ramza needed him. Just as Beowulf walked away, he heard Reis screaming. Running back, he saw Aliste Rosenheim, a former comrade in arms, who was hired by Bremondt to kidnap Reis and take her to Lionel Castle.
Beowulf took Ramza to the castle and they fought past Aliste and made it to Bremondt. Cornered, Bremondt panicked and used his dark magick on himself, turning into a Dark Dragon. Even in this form, he was no match for Ramza and Beowulf and was killed. Beowulf found Reis and the two were reunited. Beowulf struggled to convey his appreciation for Ramza's help and he and Reis remained with Ramza throughout his quest to defeat the Lucavi.
The Ivalice Chronicles[]
In The Ivalice Chronicles, the extra events from The War of the Lions happen off-screen, and Beowfulf faced Bremondt alone.
Folmarv Tengille, the leader of the Knights Templar, recognized Beowulf as the former Captain of the Gryphon Knights in Lionel under Cardinal Delacroix and the clergyman that Beowulf slew was none other than Bremondt Freitberg. Beowulf explained the incident to Folmarv. During the battle with Loffrey Wodring and Cletienne Duroi on his side, Folmarv marveled at Reis being a dragonkin, yet the power of the auracite had restored her humanity. Reis questioned whether she was human, as Folmarv claimed that she had a dragon's soul trapped inside her, with its own set of memories, only for Beowulf to dismiss it, reminding her of their shared childhood. Later, during the battle against Folmarv's true form, Hashmal, Reis knew how to escape the necrohol by using the power of the auracites to teleport back to Ivalice, which she informed Beowulf about. This method was later used by Ramza to teleport both himself and Alma back to Ivalice to escape the exploding airship. Though Folmarv/Hashmal tried to make Reis switch over to his side by claiming that she would never be fully human and she would slowly lose her humanity over time, Reis believed in her human bond with Beowulf and refused.
Characteristics[]
Appearance[]
Reis is young woman with long blonde hair with parted bangs. She wears a long white, blue, and pink dress with a brown belt and brown shoes.
In her initial dragon form, unlike the three monster dragons, her color is purple in a green trim.
Personality[]
Reis is a kind and soft-spoken woman who hides her strength underneath her fragility.[1]
Conversing with Reis in The Ivalice Chronicles's unit menu also reveals that she works as an artist.
Gameplay[]
Reis starts as a Holy Dragon and is nearly identical to the dragons that can be encountered as regular enemies, only able to use all three elemental breaths minus the physical techniques, such as Charge and Tail Sweep. She absorbs holy-elemental attacks.
Once Reis' curse is uplifted and she is reverted to human form, her default and exclusive job is the dragonkin, which unlocks her true potential. It has exceptional physical and magickal prowess and is capable of taming dragons and using dragon powers to aid allies in battle. Dragonkin has the highest HP, MP, and magick growth among all jobs as well as an excellent physical attack stat that surpasses even that of the Sword Saint's. However, the Dragonkin's impressive stat growth comes at a price: she can equip only female-exclusive equipment. In The Ivalice Chronicles, equipment is no longer gendered, however.
Stats[]
During the battle in Gollund, Reis' level depends on the party's level and she starts with 31 bravery and 32 faith.

Recruitment[]
In chapter 4, "In the Name of Love", after witnessing an optional scene in the Clockwork City of Goug with Besrudio Bunansa, the player can go to the tavern in Mining Town of Gollund to hear to the "The Haunted Mine" rumor. In the tavern in Lesalia, the player can take the coal mine job and have Beowulf join as a guest. After fighting a series of battles at the mines, the player can recruit both Beowulf and Holy Dragon Reis.
