Story . " Final Fantasy Agito " . Qator assists with Akademeia ' s invasion . " Final Fantasy Type - 0 " . Bashtar is known as the empire ' s premier magitek pilot . He was discovered by Marshal Cid Aulstyne , and quickly promoted to general . He had a sister who died young . In 842 the empire devised a three - part campaign to invade the Dominion of Rubrum , the first phase being Operation Solar Eclipse in which Brigadier General Qator Bashtar would lead a blitzkrieg attack on the Vermilion Peristylium from the ocean . Accompanied by the provisional First Airmobile Force and a l ' Cie - piloted magitek armor , the general ' s objective was to force Akademeia to surrender . While the empire succeeds in conquering most of the dominion , Akademeia , and thus the Vermilion Bird Crystal , are protected by Class Zero who destroy the empire ' s crystal jammer , allowing for the legionaries and Agito Cadets to regain their ability to cast magic . Bashtar and his troops had infiltrated the academy building when learning the imperial flagship has been destroyed . Bashtar orders his men to find the survivor from the crash , who is brought before him to report their division had been defeated with magic . Bashtar admonishes the trooper for having fled leaving his comrades to die , and has him executed on the spot . He is dissatisfied of the news Rubrum ' s troops are using magic , since Qun ' mi Tru ' e ' s crystal jammer was supposed to block it . Soon news arrive of more casualties and that connection to Qun ' mi has been lost and that the Vermilion Bird Crystal has regained its full power . Upon learning a Vermilion Bird l ' Cie has been sighted , Bashtar orders all troops to retreat , disappointed as they came so close to reaching their objective . Bashtar returns to Ingram , the Militesi capital . The empire destroys the Lorican Alliance with an Ultima Bomb , and when meeting with Cid Aulstyne Bashtar comments that future generations will refer to this day as the start of Tempus Finis . Cid disagrees , saying the day marks the first ray of hope , one that the empire brought forth . The dominion begins its long campaign to reclaim the conquered areas . During Rubrum and Concordia ' s joint attack on Togoreth Stronghold , Qator slaughters many of the opposing soldiers with his new flying magitek armor Gabriel before confronting Class Zero . The MA is still a prototype and overheats easily , and Bashtar is forced to fall back after fighting the cadets . When Class Zero infiltrates the imperial magitek factory and faces off against the White Tiger Secundus l ' Cie Nimbus , a ceasefire is called as the Fabula Pact has been invoked halting all military operations between the empire , Concordia and Rubrum . Qator delivers the news to Nimbus and the cadets , saying all combat operations must halt and anyone who violates the pact is to be executed . The cadets give up the battle , but are puzzled a ceasefire with such terms was called at a time Rubrum had deployed them for a sabotage mission to imperial territory . During the peace talks Queen Andoria of Concordia is assassinated and the blame is placed on Class Zero . As the class orderly Aria Luricara rushes to the cadets to deliver the news , she is shot by a sniper and left behind as the cadets abscond back to Rubrum . General Bashtar finds she is still alive , and orders her taken to a hospital much to his soldiers ' surprise . The queen is succeeded by a king who allies with the empire and the Militesi - Concordian coalition advances on Rubrum from both sides forcing the dominion to split their forces . As the Militesi army drives the Rubrum forces back , Qator receives news the Concordian side is failing to advance , and is disappointed at their inferiority compared to the Militesi army . He notes that the 108th battalion deployed to the battle has many imperial officers picked by the marshal himself , and deems it a hindrance to his goal of being promoted . When the Vermilion Bird Secundus l ' Cie Lady Caetuna summons Alexander to defeat Milites , the new White Tiger l ' Cie who accompanies Qator erects a forcefield around himself and Qator ' s Gabriel . Qator and the l ' Cie are the only survivors , and decide to retreat . When the dominion infiltrates the Militesi capital Qator tells Aria to return to the dominion . She refuses , having nominated herself Qator ' s " minion " , grateful for the care he had given her . When Class Zero arrives Bashtar engages them head on in his improved Gabriel before learning that a malfunctioning prototype Ultima Bomb was secretly installed into his MA . Refusing to allow the city be destroyed , Qator takes the bomb into the atmosphere and jettisons it . However , Gabriel was damaged from the fight with the cadets , and thus is unable to escape the explosion . Gameplay .
