Although he is an important character in the game , how he thinks and acts generally are unclear , as he is most often seen during crises . Story . Before the events of the game , King Tycoon was twice bereaved . His daughter Sarisa was lost at sea when she was five years old while they traveled to find a treatment for the queen ' s long illness . The king was forced to admit the only cure for his wife was to kill their wind drake , Hiryu , to extract medicine from its tongue , something she refused to consider . She passed away sometime before the Crystals began to shatter , leaving him a widower . King Tycoon is the guardian of the Wind Crystal , a responsibility he takes more seriously than the other monarchs of Crystal - bearing kingdoms on his world ; he does not use a machine to extract power from it as they do . When he senses a change in the wind , he travels to the Wind Shrine on Hiryu to examine the situation but disappears afterward . Lenna goes searching for him but the king is not heard from again until Lenna and her new friends , Bartz , Galuf and Faris , travel to Crescent , where they learn King Tycoon was seen floating through the air over Karnak and the Desert of Shifting Sands . The party spots him in Gohn , where he behaves strangely , playing a game of cat - and - mouse with them . The king lures them into a trap and makes them fall into what would become the Catapult . King Tycoon is later seen in the Ronka Ruins , still behaving strangely , and snapping at his daughters . The party obeys his instructions and kills Archeoaevis , not realizing it is the guardian of the Earth Crystal . King Tycoon attempts to kill the party afterward , now obviously being possessed . Luckily Krile appears and snaps him out of it by attacking with a Thunder spell , revealing that the king had been under Exdeath ' s control , and probably had been since his disappearance . With his wits restored , King Tycoon is overjoyed to see that his long - lost daughter , Sarisa ( now going by the name of Faris ) , is alive and well . Their reunion is cut short when Exdeath , now freed from his seal , appears in the ruins and sends the crystal shards to attack the party . Tycoon draws the shards ' attack and is mortally wounded . With his last words , he implores the party to protect the world and apologizes to Faris for not being a better father . He implores her and Lenna to keep each other strong and asks Bartz to protect them before succumbing to his injuries . When Bartz , Lenna , Faris and Krile follow Exdeath to the Interdimensional Rift to stop him from taking control of the Void , King Tycoon ' s spirit , along with the spirits of the Warriors of Dawn , appears in the the Rift to suppress Exdeath ' s control of the Void when he uses it on the party . He speaks to them one last time after they defeat Neo Exdeath , saying the world still needs them .
