His l ' Cie brand is on his left shoulder and he has steel gray hair , a scar across his face , and three earrings on his left ear . Personality . Zhuyu ' s humanity is being sapped from him for being a l ' Cie , and he is stoic and usually uninterested in the affairs of mortals . He thus talks in a monotone voice and follows the Crystal ' s guidance like ordered . Story . When rumors of Zhuyu being on the move spread , many are surprised as the Crystal doesn ' t usually bother with the woes of mortals . Unusually , Zhuyu accompanies the Rubrum army , although he posits his allegiance lies with the Crystal , not with the dominion . When Nimbus , a White Tiger Primus l ' Cie , is sent to reclaim Togoreth that has been overtaken by joint Rubrum - Concordian forces , Zhuyu is sent to intercept him . Zhuyu asks whether Nimbus ' s mission at the stronghold is his Focus given to him by the Crystal , but Nimbus declines to answer , and Zhuyu draws his blade . As the first known confrontation between l ' Cie in five centuries , Zhuyu and Nimbus ' s battle lays waste to the entire area . When Class Zero infiltrates the imperial magitek facility to destroy their prototype MA , Lady Caetuna , a Vermilion Bird Secundus l ' Cie and the most senior l ' Cie in Orience , meets Zhuyu in the crystal room . Zhuyu remarks they haven ' t seen each other for a long time , but Caetuna implores that something is about to happen , and that the two of them are mere puppets to a greater will . The Vermilion Bird Crystal begins to shine , and far away in the imperial capital of Ingram Queen Andoria invokes the Fabula Pact , a peace agreement made between the four peristylia of Orience that grants a short - lived ceasefire .

The plan is to send Class Zero with Lord Zhuyu to fight off the Concordian dragons with an airship fleet , and send the rest of Rubrum ' s legionaries , and Akademeia ' s cadets and trainees , to the Militesi border for Lady Caetuna to summon a Verboten Eidolon . Two l ' Cie taking part in Rubrum ' s military operations simultaneously is unheard of , and many see it as a sign of the dominion ' s , and thus the Vermilion Bird Crystal ' s , desperation , as by now all the other Crystals of Orience have been subjugated by the empire that has devised a machine to enslave them . Zhuyu is deployed into the First Battle of Judecca where he faces the Concordian Primus l ' Cie Soryu after it annihilates the dominion ' s Eidolons . As Zhuyu draws Soryu away from the battle the dominion forces engage the royal army and emerge victorious . Rubrum eventually conquers all of Orience and Tempus Finis commences , the Rursus attacking Akademeia .
