Vaan is thrown into a cell until the seeq, Daguza, is ready to face him in arena. He finds the seeq who stole it but is ambushed by two more. In the manga, Balthier decides to make their move in two hours after investigating the Resistance, and Vaan declares to have recovered the Goddess's Magicite by that time. Gabranth authorizes the bounty hunter Ba'Gamnan to search the prisoners for Balthier, and Fran reveals she has found an exit. Balthier tosses the coin and Vaan fails at guessing its location with Fran returning and revealing she has the coin and Balthier's hands are empty. For a wrong guess Balthier wants Vaan's chestpiece from Reks, but Vaan demands Balthier wager his airship. Balthier tries to teach Vaan why he lost by challenging him to a game of coin toss where Vaan must guess which of Balthier's hands he holds it. Vaan awakens in the dungeons and intervenes on a seeq prisoner attacking a former Dalmascan soldier, but has the Goddess's Magicite stolen from him. Nevertheless, Penelo spots Vaan, Balthier and Fran being led away in chains and approaches them in tears, but Balthier soothes her. In the game the party is confronted by Vayne himself. Ghis takes Amalia captive onboard Dreadnought Leviathan while the others are sent to Nalbina Dungeons. In the manga they are accosted by Judge Ghis and Vaan attacks him but is knocked out. Upon reaching the Waterway's exit they battle a Firemane.

Vaan runs to her aid, and following the ensuing battle, Amalia joins the party briefly though she scorns at Vaan's thievery from the palace.

They encounter a Resistance fighter named Amalia cornered by Imperial Guards. Balthier surmises Vayne staged the dinner to lure the Resistance out of hiding and trap them using the Imperial fleet. Vaan teams up with Balthier and Fran to find a way out. The vehicle's power is drained by Vaan's Goddess's Magicite and crashes in the Garamsythe Waterway, the city's sewer system that was exposed during an attack from Ifrit. As Vaan is carried off the guards are intercepted by Balthier who continues to pursue Vaan and throws him over a bridge to Fran's hoverbike before following suit. Vaan is taken away by the guards, Vayne ordering him executed for attempted assault on an Archadian official. Vaan tells the two his brother was killed at Nalbina Fortress, and Vayne invites Vaan to attack him. He is caught and brought before Vayne who mocks his rage. Not knowing its true power but guessing it to be valuable, Vaan makes a run for it when the Resistance attacks the palace and the Imperial airship Ifrit repels the insurgence.ĭuring his escape Vaan overhears Vayne speaking to Judge Gabranth and spies on them overseeing the battle. He chances upon the Goddess's Magiciteand runs into the sky pirates Balthier and Fran who demand he hand over the object. When Vayne Solidor, the Emperor's son, becomes the consul of Dalmasca, Vaan sneaks into the royal palace during the fête to take back things that once belonged to Dalmasca. He lives in Lowtown with Penelo and the other war orphans and spends his days slaying rats in the Garamsythe Waterway, carrying out menial tasks for the sundry shop owner, Migelo, and pick-pocketing the Archadian troops stationed in Rabanastre, rationalizing it as reclaiming the wealth Archadia is stealing. Vaan later tells Reks was tortured to death by the Empire to force a confession for co-conspiring the King's death.īelieving his brother to have been murdered by not only Captain Basch, but also at the fault of the Archadian Empire, Vaan vows vengeance.

Reks's witness testimony led to Basch's conviction for high treason and he was announced executed, while Vaan looked after the increasingly unresponsive Reks in a hospital in his final moments. Reks was fatally wounded by what appeared to be Basch who had murdered the king.

Reks was sent to the fortress, his squadron being led by Captain Basch fon Ronsenburg of the Order of the Knights. When King Raminas agreed to a peace treaty and left for Nalbina Fortress to sign it, word arrived that the treaty signing was but a conspiracy to murder him. Two years later the war between Rozarria and Archadia bared upon its middle ground, Dalmasca, and a small scale raid of Rabanastre claimed the lives of Penelo's parents leaving Vaan and Penelo with only one family figure left: Reks.ĭuring the Imperial occupation Reks signed up as a light infantry soldier. Vaan and his elder brother Reks were taken in by his childhood friend Penelo and her family. In 701 when Vaan was only twelve, his parents fell victim to the plague. Vaan was born in the year 689 Old Valendia, and grew up in Dalmasca's capital, the Royal City of Rabanastre.
