In Chapter 1 he is a guest , but later is directly under the player ' s control in two side battles that take place away from the main plot with Ramza and his party , although this only happens in the " Final Fantasy Tactics : The War of the Lions " version . Delita ' s story is widely known through Ivalice as that of a commoner who became a king and brought peace to a chaotic kingdom , while Ramza , his friend , is of little mention in history , and is branded a heretic . Arazlam Durai , a historian researching these events many years later , narrates that history has made Delita the only hero of the War of the Lions . Arazlam asks the player to consider if this is the " truth " , and if they will help Arazlam find the true answer . Arazlam ' s research forms the frame story for " Final Fantasy Tactics " .

As a squire he wears a buff coat and squire armor , thigh high boots , brown gloves and a large belt wrapped around his abdomen . After he becomes a holy knight , Delita wears Templar - like golden armor over his arms , legs and shoulders , a golden belt and red clothing . After further advancing his schemes , Delita dons a long red and gray cloak with white linings and pale yellow sash in front to combine with his primary outfit . This outfit is later seen where his job as an Ark Knight in the Rendezvous . Personality . Ultimately an idealistically honorable man who views himself a people ' s hero , Delita holds to the maxim that the ends justify the means . After his sister , Tietra Heiral , falls victim to a conspiracy , Delita vows never to succumb to manipulation again . In a self - driven crusade against the nobility , Delita pursues the throne via forming numerous allegiances with different factions and persons , all the while intent on double - crossing them all . Despite using false allegiances and conspiracies to deceive his contemporaries , Delita is not ruthless , as he is willing to spare the lives of some of the people who get caught up in his schemes , and he is planning to rule Ivalice in a just manner . Story . Allegiance to the Order of the Northern Sky . Delita was born to poor farmers on the Beoulve land . Barbaneth adopted him and his sister , Tietra , into House Beoulve after their parents succumbed to the . Delita and Tietra became fast friends with Barbaneth ' s children Ramza and Alma Beoulve . While growing up , Delita attended the Gariland Royal Military Akademy with Ramza , and the two rescued Argath Thadalfus from the Corpse Brigade , a rebel group who opposed the nobles . Argath revealed Marquis Elmdore had been kidnapped , and when Ramza defied his elder brother Dycedarg ' s orders and set out to rescue him , Delita accompanied him . They succeeded and were assigned to attack Milleuda Folles , a Corpse Brigade leader , at the Brigands ' Den . During the battle the reasons for the Corpse Brigade ' s actions became apparent , as this was a class struggle . This created a rift between Delita and the arrogant upper - class Argath . Following Milleuda ' s first defeat , Delita and Ramza returned to Eagrose , only to learn the Corpse Brigade had taken Delita ' s sister captive under the impression she is a noble due to living with House Beoulve . Zalbaag Beoulve , Ramza ' s other elder brother , launched a frontal assault on the Brigade ' s positions at Ziekden Fortress , and Delita realized this would likely kill Tietra . He tried to convince Ramza to rescue her by attacking from the Lenalian Plateau . When an unsympathetic Argath insulted Delita , Ramza stood up for his friend , and kicked Argath out of his unit , and Argath joined Zalbaag ' s force in their attack on Ziekden . Ramza and Delita set out to rescue Tietra , and at Mandalia Plains shared what was to be their last moment together under the circumstances , for the attempt to rescue Tietra met with disaster . Ramza and Delita re - encountered Milleuda at the Lenalian Plateau and the misunderstanding between Ramza and Milleuda resulted in the latter ' s death , which infuriated her brother , Wiegraf , leader of the Corpse Brigade . Although Delita and Ramza were close to rescuing Tietra at the windmill hut , a fencer of Wiegraf ' s forces , Gragoroth Levigne , took her as a hostage to Ziekden Fortress . Delita and Ramza arrived to find a standoff between Gragoroth , holding Tietra captive , and the Order of the Northern Sky led by Zalbaag and Argath . Argath opened fire , mortally wounding both Tietra and Gragoroth . Zalbaag left to pursue Wiegraf , and Delita ' s rage boiled over against Argath . He attacked , and Ramza joined him in battle . Argath was killed , but Gragoroth set off an explosion which destroyed the fort . Delita , standing next to Tietra ' s body , would have perished , had her body not shielded him from the explosion . The kidnapping of Ovelia . Following the Ziekden Fortress incident , Delita set himself up as an Order of the Southern Sky knight , while also answering to the Church of Glabados . He is loyal only to himself , and plans to double - cross both . Several Church of Glabados knights , wearing Southern Sky uniforms , attack Orbonne Monastery , where Princess Ovelia is staying . While Ramza as part of Goffard Gaffgarion ' s mercenary unit ( having denounced his life of nobility after the events at Ziekden Fortress ) , and Agrias Oaks , the princess ' s knight , drive off the fake Southern Sky knights , it was but a diversion . Delita slips into the monastery from the back and kidnaps Ovelia , escaping on his chocobo before Agrias can react . Ramza , recognizing Delita , is amazed he is alive and sets out to pursue him . At Zeirchele Falls Delita runs into trouble , allowing Ramza ' s forces to catch him . Gaffgarion turns on Ramza and reveals his true assignment : kill Ovelia so Duke Goltanna can ' t use her claim to the throne . Ramza drives off Gaffgarion and helps Delita rid of his attackers and Delita relinquishes control of Ovelia to Ramza . When Ovelia falls into the hands of Cardinal Alphonse Delacroix , Delita arrives , and after the leader of the church ' s Knights Templar , Folmarv Tengille , has interrogated her , he takes the princess to Goltanna . On the way they are attacked by three Northern Sky soldiers , but Delita drives them off . Betraying the Southern Sky . Delita begins his betrayal of the Southern Sky and Goltanna . After ridding Goltanna of a treasonous adviser , Chancellor Glevanne , Delita succeeds Baron Grimms as commander of the Blackram Knights after the Baron was killed in a battle against the Order of the Ebon Eye rebels in Zeltennia . The High Confessor also creates friction between Goltanna and Cidolfus Orlandeau , a noble and legendary war hero . Delita is tasked with assassinating Goltanna by the Church of Glabados that wants the war to escalate and throw Ivalice into a turmoil where the church could rise into a more prominent institution . He is offered the aid of Valmafra Lenande , although Valmafra is , in fact , ordered to keep an eye on Delita . Delita meets Ramza at the church near Zeltennia where he reveals more of the church ' s plan . He had been noticed by the Heresy Examiner , Zalmour Lucianada , who had come to arrest Ramza for having allegedly killed the Cardinal Delacroix . Delita knows that since Zalmour is aware of his intentions to double - cross the church , he has no choice but to kill him . Thus he aids Ramza in the battle before returning to deal with Goltanna . At the battle of Fort Besselat Delita assassinates Goltanna and implicates Orlandeau in the murder , but executes a decoy to allow the real Orlandeau to escape and assist Ramza in his quest to destroy the Lucavi demons that have possessed many church officials and templars , and are thus behind its nefarious plot to dominate Ivalice . The Glabados Devout who acts as Orlandeau ' s double is possibly tricked by Delita to die for Duke Goltanna ' s assassination , because the church has actually ordered Delita to assassinate Goltanna and Orlandeau altogether . Delita confronts Valmafra , whom he knows to be a spy , but she is unable to bring herself to take action against Delita . Aftermath . Following the Lucavi leader Ultima ' s destruction at the hands of Ramza , Delita marries Princess Ovelia and becomes the King of Ivalice . Ovelia becomes disturbed when she realizes she was nothing but a pawn to Delita like everyone else . On the day of her birthday Delita brings her flowers , but Ovelia stabs him with a dagger . Delita responds by stabbing Ovelia , and collapses while wondering about the different paths in life he and Ramza had chosen , and whether Ramza ' s brought him happiness . Delita likely survived the dagger wound , as in the official record , he maintained a long and peaceful rule while Ramza was never mentioned . Orran Durai , who was publishing an account of the truth , was executed by the church as a heretic , but his descendant , Arazlam Durai , would discover his Durai Papers and learn the truth .
