ZODIAC BEARERS. ARIES. Belias, the Gigas. ELEMENT: Fire. FORMER HOST: Wiegraf Folles. BEARER: The Aries Stone fell into the hands of the Church of Ivalice due to the events surrounding Wiegraf Folles' possession of the stone and subsequent death. The stone was found by a wandering lord, who gave it to the Baron of Fovoham. It has been protected by Riovanes and its environs ever since. The bearer must be a member of Riovanes Castle or the Church of Riovanes in some way. PREFERRED CLASSES: White Mage, Holy Knight, Divine Knight, Templar. TAURUS. Chaos, Walker of the Wheel. ELEMENT: Wind. FORMER HOST: Besrudio Bunansa. BEARER: After the defeat of Ultima in the graveyard, the Taurus stone found its way back into the hands of Mustadio Bunansa. After a few years in hiding, Mustadio settled back in his hometown of Goug, married and had kids. Those descendants singlehandedly revived the machines. The stone has since been passed down through the Bunansa family for generations. The bearer is a descendant of Mustadio Bunansa. PREFERRED CLASSES: Engineer or Chemist. GEMINI. Zalera, the Death Seraph. ELEMENT: Death. FORMER HOST: Messam Elmdore. BEARER: With the Marquis of Limberry killed in his castle's crypt, his province fell into desolate times with pretenders vying for the title. His good-natured nephew was given the Gemini stone by a mysterious visitor, who asked him to protect it, and he was made Marquis. The stone has been in the hands of Limberry ever since. The bearer must be a member of Limberry Castle or Limberry Church. PREFERRED CLASSES: White Mage, Holy Knight, Divine Knight, Templar. CANCER. Zeromus, the Condemner. ELEMENT: Gravity. FORMER HOST: Reis Duelar. BEARER: Runimar Cadmus. Sir Runimar Cadmus, known as "Rune" to his close friends, is a paragon of chivalry and a formidable warrior. The descendant of Beowulf Cadmus and his dragonkin wife Reis Duelar, Rune is a Gryphon Knight in the service of Lionel and its environs. Born in Warjilis Trade City, he was always viewed as different from an early age by his peers since, due to his bloodline, he was gifted with the supernatural abilities of the dragonkin. This, of course, only made him work harder to realize his dreams. LEO. Hashmal, the Bringer of Order. ELEMENT: Earth. FORMER HOST: Folmarv Tengille. BEARER: The notorious sky pirate Isildor hails from Romanda, and he comes to Ivalice armed with wit, charm, and a gun. He preys on the rich and wealthy, preferring to carry out only the most dangerous of heists and raids. It's his own secret that he is actually she, the disgraced daughter of an illustrious Romandan house. Recently, she summoned Hashmal to defend her ship from the law, revealing herself to the world as a stone bearer, and far more dangerous than ever believed. VIRGO. Ultima, the High Seraph. ELEMENT: Holy. FORMER HOST: Alma Beoulve. BEARER: Claudia Merlose A mysterious traveler, Claudia Merlose is far more than she's willing to divulge. Romandan nobility, strategist and inheritor to Alma Beoulve's legacy, she moves across Ivalice in search of knowledge. With the Virgo stone now in her possession, she has decided to seek out the stone-bearers and prevent the tragedy of the Lion War from reoccurring. Avoiding conflict, capture, the dangerous influences of the Virgo stone, Claudia's journey is wrought with peril. LIBRA. Exodus, the Judge-Sal. ELEMENT: Aether. FORMER HOST: Cidolfus Orlandeau. BEARER: The Lady Hildegis Orlandeau is very skilled at things a lady should be: music, literature, needlework, and the running of a manor. Although she had a retainer from Zeltennia along with her, Hildegis was used to following her twin brother Verner everywhere. Unlike her brother, she was forbidden to pick up the sword, but studied the mystic arts. Having bonded with the Libra stone, she needed to know how to defend herself, especially after her brother Verner met with an untimely end. SCORPIO. Cúchulainn, the Impure. ELEMENT: Poison. FORMER HOST: Alphonse Delacroix. BEARER: After parting with Ramza and his cadre, Rapha and Marack traveled eastward to the desert country of Ordallia. After taking on a few well-paying jobs, the two settled into a domesticated life. The stone has been passed from generation to generation and now that the papers have surfaced, the bearer has been called back to Ivalice to discuss what they will do. PREFERRED CLASSES: Heaven or Hell Knight. SAGITTARIUS. Shemhazai, the Whisperer. ELEMENT: Soul. FORMER HOST: Meliadoul Tengille. BEARER: Safeguarded by Meliadoul Tengille, daughter of the mastermind behind the plot to resurrect Ultima, Leo host Folmarv Tengille. Meliadoul kept the stones in her manor in Bervenia until one night, when Pisces and Leo stone were both stolen. Having kept the Sagittarius stone close to her, it remains in her family — those who serve the Limberry Church as an inside source for other bearers. PREFERRED CLASSES: White Mage, Holy Knight, Divine Knight, Templar. CAPRICORN. Adrammalech, the Wroth. ELEMENT: Lightning. FORMER HOST: Dycedarg Beoulve. BEARER: Once their brother's possession, the stone was taken by Ramza and Alma when they fled to Romanda. It found its way back to Ivalice when Ramza's descendant, seeking to reach the homeland of his forebearers, returned. Under the surname Lugria (from Ramza's maternal lineage), they infiltrated the nobility and politically manuevered themselves into prominence once more. The stone rests in the hands of Ramza's distant descendant. PREFERRED CLASSES: Any. AQUARIUS. Famfrit, the Darkening Cloud. ELEMENT: Water. FORMER HOST: Worker 8. BEARER: When dropped off outside the city of Goug by Ramza and company, Worker 8's upkeep was left in the care of the community. Everyone lent a hand to keep him running and fully functional. Eventually, the stone he possessed found root in one of his caretakers and he parted with it, leaving it to that family. Worker 8, on the other hand, ceased to function without a power source and his eyes went dark. PREFERRED CLASSES: Engineer or Chemist. PISCES. Mateus, the Corrupt. ELEMENT: Ice. FORMER HOST: Isilud Tengille. BEARER: Three stones were given to be safeguarded by Meliadoul Tengille, daughter of the mastermind behind the plot to resurrect Ultima, Leo host Folmarv Tengille. The Pisces Stone was one of them. Meliadoul kept the stones in her manor in Bervenia until one night, when Pisces and Leo stone were both stolen. The stone has been passed around, sold, stolen, and it's current whereabouts and bearer are unknown. PREFERRED CLASSES: Any.
