Confessor Zalmour Lucianada
Zalmour Lucianada, also known as Zalmo Rusnada, is a confessor for the Church of Glabados in Final Fantasy Tactics. After Ramza Beoulve is charged with heresy, Zalmour attempts to arrest him.
History[]
Artwork.
Zalmour appeared outside the Royal City of Lesalia, where he informed Ramza that he has been charged with heresy for the muder of Cardinal Delacroix, and attempted to apprehend him. Ramza fought back along with his sister, Alma, and Zalmour was forced to leave empty-handed. Zalmour later launched another ambush by surrounding a church near Zeltennia Castle while Ramza was inside. Zalmour failed to realize that Ramza was not alone inside, but that he was with Delita Heiral. Zalmour realized that Delita was not loyal to the church as he had thought, and Delita deduced Zalmour must die before he can tell his superiors what he knows.
Ramza wished he did not have to fight Zalmour, knowing that the confessor was unaware of the Lucavi presence within the Knights Templar, and genuinely believed he was doing the right thing. He was left with no choice, however, and helped Delita kill Zalmour. As Zalmour passed, he prayed for God to punish the wicked.
Characteristics[]
Zalmour has a strong, if not bullheaded, belief in justice and in doing what is right. He has a zealous devotion to the Church of Glabados, so much so that any ill speak against it around him falls on deaf ears and fanatic backlash. He aggressively hunts down those who are marked as heretics to bring them to justice. Despite this, he was willing to allow Ramza to repent for his killing of Delacroix rather than outright kill him at first. He is unaware of the corruption of the Church by the Lucavi, with Ramza believing that if Zalmour knew the truth that he would be understanding of the situation, but Zalmour died with his convictions before he would listen to Ramza, despite the added testimonial of Agrias.

Behind the scenes[]
Voice[]
Zalmour was given a voice on the brief cutscene in the War of the Lions remaster. He was voiced by Phil LaMarr who also voices Ramza Beoulve. LaMarr differentiates his voice when he voices Zalmour in a brief cutscene where he speaks in a deeper pitch. In The Ivalice Chronicles, he was voiced by Stephen Hogan and he no longer speaks in a deeper pitch.
