" At times he is even shown to care little about his fellow Ascians . Abilities . As an overlord of the Ascians , Lahabrea is a powerful sorcerer who can call monsters from the Void and cast powerful spells like Shadow Flare and create damaging orbs and pools of Darkness . Lahabrea can Teleport himself and others without the use of Aetheryte and use the power of a Dark Crystal to possess a living host body . Story . " A Realm Reborn " . During the advent of the Seventh Umbral Era , Lahabrea is sensed from a distance by Kan - E - Senna , who warns the others they are being watched . He is seen more clearly when the Adventurer has a vision of the events of the Battle of Carteneau via the Echo while speaking to one of the leaders of the three Grand Companies . Lahabrea watches the events unfold , remarking how the Archons , the Grand Companies , and their Warriors of Light are powerless to stop Bahamut ' s fury and that the planet will soon be returning in its true form . Lahabrea himself is first encountered in a vision received by the Adventurer from Hydaelyn ' s crystal : Lahabrea appears from a void and attacks him / her just as the vision ends . Attributing it to aether sickness , the Adventurer ' s peddler companion thinks little of it . Upon entering the final area of The Thousand Maws of Toto - Rak , the Adventurer encounters Lahabrea himself for the first time . He offers backhanded compliments before manipulating the aether and giving a the banemite Graffias even greater strength with which to kill him / her . Only after it ' s defeated does Frixio , the elder of the Sylphs reveal that Lahabrea planned to feed him to the vilekin they had just slain . After defeating Titan , Y ' shtola spies on Nero Tol Scaeva and Rhitahtyn Sas Arvina caught in a dispute after witnessing the Adventurer ' s triumph over the Primal , and discovers Lahabrea is working alongside the Garlean Empire . Regarding the others as " fools , " he is soon to vanish from the scene , only to confront the Adventurer once again inside the Stone Vigil as they attempt to retrieve Cid nan Garlond ' s airship much later . Meaning to stop them from facing Garuda before they can , he awakens the sleeping dragon Isgebind and disappears again . Lahabrea is later seen after Garuda ' s defeat standing on an imperial juggernaut , remarking how much of a marvel the Ultima Weapon is as is consumes Ifrit , Titan , and then Garuda herself . When the Adventurer and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn are escaping from Castrum Centri , Lahabrea reveals to the group he has been possessing the body of Thancred and likely has since just prior to the defeat of Titan . When the party arrives near the end of Praetorium Lahabrea reveals his organization ' s true intentions to revive their god by using Gaius and the Ultima Weapon under his control , much to the Legatus ' s horror . But despite using the Heart of Sabik to reactivate Ultima magic and weakening Hydaelyn ' s protection , the Ultima Weapon is still destroyed . As Gaius van Baelsar lies fallen after ejecting from the warmachine , Lahabrea contemptuously chastises him for his defeat and failure . Turning his attention to the Adventurer , Lahabrea ranted about how the planet is in a state of imbalance and how Hydaelyn is the root of the corruption , describing her as a parasite that " must be burned out if the planet is to recover . " And to that end , only the return of the " one true god " can ensure that will occur . Since the Primals are vital to this plan , the Scions cannot be suffered to exist and Lahabrea declares the Adventurer will not leave this place alive . Once sufficiently weakened in battle , Lahabrea is purged from Thancred ' s body by the Crystals of Light . Despite this setback , assumed to have been exiled to the Void , Lahabrea is seen again in the epilogue where he meets up with his fellow Ascians in a dark place to prepare for Zodiark ' s resurrection , as Bahamut began stirring once again after the fall of the Praetorium . The Scions later learn of Lahabrea ' s survival from Zodiark ' s emissary , Elidibus , who deemed the Ascian ' s actions reckless yet could not completely condemn him as it enabled the discovery of those strong in the Echo . Lahabrea made minor appearances from flanking the throne of the Thordan VII alongside Elidibus to learning of Nabriales ' s demise from the latter . Though Lahabrea commented that Nabriales ' s demise was his own doing , he was still shocked that such an event occurred to his own kind . " Heavensward " . Lahabrea is seen in the presence of Archbishop Thordan VII and the Heavens ' Ward as they begin their plans , smugly commenting that the " Bringer of Light " will die , unaware that the archbishop is only using him . Both he and Igeyorhm confront the Warrior of Light at the bottom of the Aetherochemical Research Facility . After both are overwhelmed by the Warrior of Light ' s drastically increased strength from their trials across Ishgard in combination with the newly regained Blessing of Light from Hydaelyn , they resort to " showing the true power of the Echo " and fusing into Ascian Prime . The combined entity is defeated while cursing Hydaelyn . Before they could escape , the Warrior trapped Igeyorhm in the White Auracite and shattered her essence with the left eye of Nidhogg . Shortly thereafter , Thordan VII and the Heavens ' Ward arrived , where they revealed the right eye of Nidhogg was entombed with Haldrath ' s body . Using the right eye , the archbishop transforms into the primal King Thordan , forged by the faith of Ishgard . Intent on ending the Dragonsong War and eliminating all sources of strife in the world , his first act is to sentence Lahabrea to death : the Ascian overlord is struck down by the God - King and destroyed as his aetheric energy is absorbed by the nascent primal . Gameplay . Lahabrea is encountered as the final boss of the main storyline of " A Realm Reborn " . He specializes in several dark elemental spells like Void Pitch , Shadow Flare and Dark Orb . However Lahabrea ' s attacks lack power and he can easily be defeated by any party that managed to defeat Ultima Weapon before him . He is later fought again in the Aetherochemical Research Facility alongside Igeyorhm , with them later fusing to become Ascian Prime . Voice .
