6★	The former captain of the Kingdom of Dalmasca's forces who appears in tales of the distant world known as Ivalice. Basch is originally from the Republic of Landis, but left for Dalmasca once the Archadian Empire had taken control over his home. However, eventually the Archadian Empire invaded his newly adopted country as well, and he was framed for the assassination of the King of Dalmasca. Swearing to protect his home this time around, he endured many moons of torturous solitary confinement until he was set free and committed himself to supporting Ashe with the restoration of Dalmasca.

Once free, he learns that Amalia, the leader of the Resistance, has been taken prisoner by the Empire.
