~ Dycedarg Beoulve.

Dycedarg Beoulve is one of the secondary antagonists in the game Final Fantasy Tactics. As the eldest son of Barbaneth Beoulve he is heir to the noble family line and commands the Knights of the Northern Sky. While his younger brother Zalbaag serves the order as a general and holy knight and his youngest half-brother Ramza leads smaller contingents, Dycedarg himself serves as more politician and liaison between the order and nobility.

Biography[]

The Lion War[]

After a particularly bloody war between houses called the Fifty Years War, a second war was starting, one that would go on to be called the Lion War. The Fifty Years War had divided the kingdom of Ivalice into its east and west regions, with Duke Goltanna to the east and Prince Bestrald Larg to the west. The Beoulve family had pledged their loyalty to Larg in the Fifty Years War, so when Sir Barbaneth Beoulve died, Dycedarg served Larg as well upon becoming the family patriarch. With the birth of a new son to the High-King followed by the king's death, both Larg and Goltanna vied for position of regent over the prince since doing so would give either one a legitimate link to rule as a high-kin. The two turned from rival nobles to hated enemies fighting for the title of high-king. Even before the Lion War had gotten off the ground, Dycedarg had been conspiring with Prince Larg to undermine Goltanna's authority.

As commander of his order, Dycedarg is treated as the master of the game's main protagonist Ramza Beoulve. During the game's first chapter, Dycedarg simply sent out Ramza to quell the uprising of Corpse Brigade rebels who had appeared after the Fifty Years War. Though Ramza tries to talk Dycedarg and Zalbaag into reestablishing some form of empathy with the peasantry to reduce the rebels' wrath, both refuse to honor the demands of any rebels. Dycedarg is soon attacked directly by the Corpse Bregade, though Dycedarg was able to avoid capture. Tietra Hyral, the sister of Ramza's life-long friend Delita Hyral, is kidnapped and held to ransom. When Ramza and Delita ask to track down Tietra's kidnappers, Dycedarg refuses, saying that Zalbaag has already been sent to rectify the situation. Delita is determined to find his sister anyway and sets out to do so. Even without official dispatch, Ramza takes his private detachment to back Deltia up and save Tietra. Ramza and Delita track down the kidnappers to Ziekden Fortress just in time to see Zalbaag arrive with the formal contingent. Gragoroth, the Corpse Brigade commander, stands off with Zalbaag's forces holding Tietra in place as human shield from the top of the fortress while he itches his way inside and begins to make his demands. Zalbaag gives his orders and has Tietra shot, destroying Gragoroth's leverage and follows with ordering another arrow shot at Gragoroth himself. Since Ramza considered Tietra like a sister, both Ramza and Delita quickly realize that the order to kill Tietra to get to Gragoroth must have come from Dycedarg himself. Though Tietra's arrow is fatal, Gragoroth's misses his heart. However the situation quickly shifted to one he knew he could not control and he retreats inside the fort and shortly sets off explosives lodged within the fort, opting to take down the Order of the Northern Sky if his life was forfeit anyway. Ramza and Zalbaag survive the explosion, but the situation causes major separation between Ramza and his step-brothers.

In his adulthood Ramza re-encounters Delita who has apparently survived the explosion. Delita was works as a knight for Goltanna and was sent to kidnap the high princess Ovelia, whom Larg was keeping under guard as his link to the royal family. Ramza pursues Delita and the agents of Goltanna, but in so doing soon becomes embroiled in the plots of the Church of Glabdos and it's plans to manipulate both sides of the war to maintain control as the sole political organization. During the Lion War, Delita tells Ramza he has found out much of Dycedarg's dirty dealings, including the murder of Barbaneth and that the princess is not safe with him. When Ramza is turned on by the mercenary Gafgarion, who was apparently bought-out by Dycedarg, Ramza quickly starts to see his brother's true colors and lets Delita take Princess Ovelia to keep her safe. Though Ramza goes to Zalbaag to attempt to inform him of their brother's treachery, Zalbaag dismisses Ramza's accusations, saying he trusts his blood brother more than his half-brother. With Ramza encountered by Church Inquisitors shortly after contacting Zalbaag, the two have little contact and Ramza is formally charged as a heretic, but the seeds of mistrust for Dycedarg begin to take root for Zalbag. In a castle seige by Goltanna, Larg is wounded and goes to Dycedarg for help. Dycedarg states that Larg is no longer good for the kingdom and the Order of the Northern Sky is better left to mange the kingdom than a benign aristocrat like Larg, killing Larg personally. Zalbaag witnesses Larg's murder, but is held loyal to his brother, justifying the action as that of a man concerned more about his kingdom than his lord. However, out of caution, Zalbaag has an alchemist examine the grave of his father to check into Ramza's accusations of poisoning their father. The alchemist states the flower that is growing on the grave only grows out of creatures riddled with a certain form of poison, one favored by assassins. With Dycedarg's treachery confirmed, Zalbaag pays the alchemist for his services and to keep quiet while he tended to the situation.

The Lucavi[]

After the death of Larg, Dycedarg is contacted by Vormav Tingel, a former Inquisitor for the Church. Vormav was working to collect the Holy Zodiac Stones, artifacts of legend that allowed mortals to commune with the Zodiac Braves, saint-like figures of the Glabdos Faith. Though originally dispatched as the Church's secret black-ops team to undermine both sides of the war, something had changed in Vormav, and he had re-prioritized his men to collecting the Zodiac Stones instead. Vormav offered the stones he had found to nobles of interest who would make good allies to the Church. Thanks to his own machinations killing Barbaneth, Larg and overthrowing Goltanna, Dycedarg was one of the lands most decorated nobles and one Vormav was eager to make an alliance with, and he offered the Capricorn stone of Adramelch. Though Dycedarg believed at first the stone was merely a status symbol, he soon found it held real power and eagerly joined Vormav's cause. Ramza and his man arrived at Dycedarg's castle in time to see Zalbaag being surrounded by Dycedarg and his men. Zalbaag confirms that he had found all of Ramza's accusations true and more and that his brother was in fact a murderer and usurper, selling out the family's honor. When Dycedarg showed his stone, Ramza recognized it immeditely, for Ramza had long since discovered the stone were real, but the Zodia Braves were actually a group of demons who could possess those who used their stones and that Vormav and his fellow Inquisitors were, in fact, hosts to the Lucavi, who had their own agenda. Dycedarg did not seem to care about whether he was working for the Church or the Lucavi, and simply saw the stone as a great form of power, which he promptly invoked to deal with his brothers. Upon using the stone Dycedarg became Adramelech's avatar and a fearsome demon. Ramza eventually killed Adramelech, and with the demon's demise, Dycedarg died with him.
