Orran Durai

== Summary ==
Stepson of Count Cidolfus Orlandeau and heir to its noble house, Orran Durai was a commander in the Order of the Southern Sky. His birthday is July 5th, and his Job Class is that of an Astologer, one whose magicks give them power over the cosmos. Serving his father to the utmost extent, Orran was tasked with a number of duties by his father and the Southern Sky, including finding evidence of the Church's plot in engaging the conflict known as the War of the Lions.
He is rescued by Ramza Beoulve in the Mining Town of Gollund when he is cornered by a gang of theives, and later repays his debt to Ramza by delivering a message to the Count about Ramza's knowledge of the Church's influence in the corruption, something Orran reveals he and his father already knew about, counting himself and his ilk among Ramza's allies, but giving Ramza confidence in that he will let the Count know of Ramza's side of the issue, the Count being the only man Ramza's father told him he could ever trust.
Later, with Ramza, Valmafra Lenande and Delita Heiral, Orran helps his father escape execution when the latteris framed by High Confessor Marcel Funebris for charges of conspiracy and treason against his liege lord of 20 years, Duke Druksmald Goltanna, in an attempt to cut of the heads of both the Southern and Northern Skies (via killing each's respective military leaders). A double of the Count is executed by Delita instead, and the Count leaves to travel with Ramza, instructing his son to stay and keep watch over the soon-to-be-Queen Ovelia while keeping the peace at home.
However, Orran does not trust Delita, and angrily confronts him over constructing his father's faked death, although Delita tells Orran that this is truly what is best and by doing so and acceding to the office of King, Orran will be able to help Ramza best by being Delita's closest advisor. Valmafra sees Delita's actions as a threat to the church and reveals her secret role as an advisor, but Delita sees through her act and disarms her.
After the destruction of Ultima and the Necrohol of Mullonde, Orran and Valmafra attend the false funeral of Ramza and Alma from afar, wondering how his brave friend could possibly have died, further wondering if his father died fighting bravely. As he leaves, however, Orran catches a glimpse of Alma and Ramza riding by on chocobos, and remained along with Valmafra the only Ivalicians to observe the two after the destruction of Mullonde.
He later writes the Durai Papers, which chronicle the true history of the War of the Lions, including Delita's hypocrises and how Ramza was not a heretic, but a hero who vanquished the Lucavi, but fearing the Papers' influence, the Church of Glabados seized the papers and had Orran burned at the stake as a heretic.
Hundreds of years later, in Ivalice's "modern era", Arazlam Durai, a distant ancestor of Orran (possibly resultant due to Orran and Valmafra's seed), discovers the papers, and for the first time, Ramza is seen as the proper hero of the war instead of Delita, the usurper.
