Unlike Aquila , he has a serious and commanding demeanor , and is easily annoyed by Aquila ' s juvenile behavior . He is one of the members of the Spite Wardens . Story . Haudrale and Aquila are mysterious entities seemingly trying to alter history , specifically changing the outcome of the Crystal War in favor of the Beastman Confederate , on behalf of " Lady Lilith " for uncertain reasons . This leads into clashing with Cait Sith , who are trying to prevent history from being tampered . Haudrale possesses ability to disguise himself as other people , which he uses to forward his goals , even impersonating the diplomat Nag ' molada in an attempt to alter the outcome of the Battle of Jeuno . During a confrontation during a battle at La Vaule , Haudrale presented to Lilisette a surreal montage depicting an alternate reality , where the allied nations in ruins and key members dead . He is very condescending to Aquila , at one point threatening him with a concealed blade emerging out his hand . During the course of the story , Haudrale appears at several key junctions in the Vana ' diel timeline , such as the Battle of Xarcabard . It is later revealed that he is working with a traitor among the Cait Siths , to ensure the Crystal War never ends . Haudrale and Aquila work to stop Lilisette , Cait Sith , and the Player in the back ground by selling out their whereabouts or plans to the beastmen armies , further resulting in the bleaker future coming to fruition . Finally the player meets the all of the Spite Wardens ( Aquila , Haudrale , and their leader Larzos ) and Lady Lilith atop Castle Zvhal in the Throne Room , where Lilisette witnesses her parents transform by the dark powers of Odin into Spite Wardens . Lilisette then realizes she and Lilith are the same person , but from different versions of the timeline . Lilith further reveals that the bleaker future is in fact the true time line , sparking Lilisette into a rage . They also reveal that the comet that appears in the night sky that draws closer to Vana ' diel is the Time Devourer , Atomos , who will pass judgment , and eventually destroy the timeline the player and Lilisette are from , leaving only the true and bleak future to prevail . In her rage of knowing everything has been taken from her , Lilisette and the player finally battle Haudrale and Aquila , due in part to their own goading at her pain . After a difficult battle , Haudrale and Aquila fall , and realize that perhaps allowing the false , though happier future to prevail may be better for everyone . As they fade away , they ponder what they were like in the world of the player , where they were never infused by the powers of darkness , and could live out normal lives in a time of ( albeit a fragile one ) peace . However , even in death , the emotional scars Haudrale and Aquila inflicted on Lilisette , including being the ones responsible for her father ' s demise in her future , combined with the shock of seeing the player of the true future also turned into a Spite Warden , cause Lilisette to lose herself and be devoured by Atomos .
