They corner him at the Singing Shards of Mor Dhona, where he is making deals with an Ascian. Handing over several relics, the Ascian imparts him knowledge of an ancient primal, Belias, which he summons in egi form to attack the adventurer and take the Soul Crystal. During the battle he absorbs the egi to empower himself. Once defeated, Tristan rants how he needs this power to destroy the primals. He reveals he was once a member of the Brass Blades, and was forced to execute his brother who was tempered by Ifrit.
