Braev Lee

Bravely Default[]

Twenty years ago, hailing from Gravemark Village, Braev was a cleric of the Crystal Orthodoxy who became disillusioned with the order when the earth vestal refused to use the Earth Crystal's power to save lives during the Great Plague with them seeing their headquarters and the Temple of Earth more important then those in Gravemark Village. Becoming a follower of anticrystalism, Braev aligned himself with its founders Sage Yulyana and Lester DeRosso in their plan to halt the Great Chasm's formation to serve as leader of the army of like-minded individuals. But when he learns that the Orthodoxy attempting to invoke the Grand Ritual with the Earth Crystal to restore their hold over the world, which would destroy it, Braev goes against DeRosso and leaves his wife and their newborn daughter with Yulyana to lead his forces to Eternia to stop the Orthodoxy.

Obliterating the Orthodoxy's Eternian branch by having the earth vestal executed, Braev has the Temple of Earth converted into Everlast Tower with the Earth Crystal's leaking energies extracted for the white magic cables. Soon after, Braev reestablishes the Duchy of Eternia with the Council of Six in power within the Orthodoxy's base. Having then deposed DeRosso and Yulyana to achieve full leadership of the anticrystalist movement, Braev campaigned to control Luxendarc to obtain the remaining crystals and spread anticrystalism while making all attempts to stop the wind vestal from fulfilling her mission even if it meant fighting his own daughter.

Ultimately, Braev knows his true enemy is Airy and, prior to his defeat, sent Alternis to kill her should he be defeated and the Earth Crystal compromised. In the second world, when confronted by the wind vestal and her party, Braev reveals his reasons while intending to fight the group as their ignorance would doom them as the Great Ritual would have. Defeated, Braev surrenders the Earth Crystal to Agnès while pleading with her not to cause the Holy Pillar to manifest. In the third world, Braev is mortified to learn that the Edea of his world died and is given closure by Edea pretending to be her counterpart in that world.

In the fifth world, Braev would order the different divisions of the Eternian forces to fall back for a final battle against Agnès and the others. He would divide the asterisk-holders into different groups based on their battle styles, reminding them that they were simply testing the resolve of Agnès's group. Braev would be part of the last group, alongside Eloch Quentis Khamer VIII, Artemia Venus, and Victor S. Court. Though the group fought valiantly, they would fall to Agnès's party. Referring to Agnès's party as the Warriors of Light, Braev urged them to save the world and told them to return anytime they needed to bolster their resolve.

Bravely Second: End Layer[]

Two and a half years later, Braev arrived at Gathelatio with Alternis in order to sign a treaty with the newly-inaugurated Pope Agnès to ensuring peace between their two parties. But before the treaty could happen, Braev falls in battle when Kaiser Oblivion kidnaps Agnès. However, Yew and his friends later travel back in time to avert the event with Braev surviving.

Sometime after, deciding to finally step down as Grand Marshall, Braev decided to give Edea a final test to determine what she considered is the best policy to rule their nation. Once Edea passed his test, and the battle that occurred after, Braev retired to the Yulyana Woods Needleworks where he and Mahzer decide to continue Sage Yulyana's business. Template:Char-stub
