A sky pirate who appears in tales of Ivalice, a world foreign to this one. Balthier is a man who prizes his freedom above all else, endlessly globetrotting Ivalice on his airship, the Strahl, with his partner Fran. A man of many virtues, he nobly claims to steal only from the wicked, although his pompousness and philandering are unbecoming. Little did he know, however, that his plans to steal the treasures hidden within the Royal Palace of Rabanastre's treasury would change his life forever.

Background Story[]

5★ A sky pirate who appears in tales of Ivalice, a world foreign to this one. Balthier is a man who prizes his freedom above all else, endlessly globetrotting Ivalice on his airship, the Strahl, with his partner Fran. A man of many virtues, he nobly claims to steal only from the wicked, although his pompousness and philandering are unbecoming. Little did he know, however, that his plans to steal the treasures hidden within the Royal Palace of Rabanastre's treasury would change his life forever.
6★ A sky pirate who appears in tales of Ivalice, a world foreign to this one. Balthier made quite a name for himself soaring the skies and stealing from the wicked with his partner Fran, a viera warrior. However, fate lead him to join Princess Ashe's efforts in restoring her country of Dalmasca after its destruction at the hands of the Archadian Empire. This journey helped him to reconnect with his past and ultimately face off against his own father.
7★ A free-spirited sky pirate who appears in the tales of a faraway realm known as Ivalice. Balthier left behind the Archadian Empire—his homeland—as an act of rebellion against his father, taking to the skies alongside his partner Fran. He is eventually forced to confront his past after joining up with Vaan, who longs to soar the skies as a pirate himself, and Ashe, the Dalmascan princess once thought dead, in their journey. He finally discovers the freedom he always wished for upon severing all ties with his father, Dr. Cid.

6★ Can't say I'm unaccustomed to people doubting my intentions, but betrayal could not be further from my mind. Shall I swear by your sword or some such?
