Ivalian

Vormav Tingel is another one of the Knights to became
famous for his acts of bravery during the Fifty Year War. He was
known for being a very religious Knight who remained loyal to the
Church of Glabados, despite the fact that the Church's influence and
power had declined since the war. For his pious acts, he earned a lot
of respect and trust from Marge Funeral, the High Priest of the Church
of Glabados--it was not too long before Vormav gained the rank of
"Paladin."
Vormav had a wife, who nobody knows much about--she died while giving
birth to two children, a son named Izlude and a daughter named
Meliadoul. After his wife's death, Vormav was left to raise his two
children alone--High Priest Funeral and the Church helped him
greatly with that task. Simply put, Izlude and Meliadoul received a
basic education from the Church; when they finished, they both became
Holy Knights of the Church just as their father had. Izlude and
Meliadoul served their father and their Church well, gaining even more
respect and trust for the Tingel family.
Because of the increase in the status of the Tingel family, Funeral
appointed Vormav and his children as the leaders of the Church's
expedition to recover the twelve Holy Stones of the Zodiac. They were
successful in recovering nine of the twelve Stones, and they were
rewarded accordingly by being appointed to the "New Zodiac Braves."
Izlude received the "Pisces" stone, Meliadoul was given the
"Sagittarius" stone, and Vormav received the "Leo" stone.
As time passed, Vormav began to change drastically as a result of
possessing the "Leo" stone; he became more cold and ruthless, and
seemed to become obsessed with gaining the true power of the Zodiac
Stones. He ended up joining three other Shrine Knights in a quest
to obtain the remaining Zodiac Stones at any cost. Those three Knights
were Rofel Wodring, Kletian Drowa, and Wiegraf Folles; Rofel was a
personal favorite of the High Priest because of his battle skills and
loyalty to the Church, Kletian was a Knight who was respected for
his loyalty and his tremendous magical ability, and Wiegraf had
recently joined the ranks of the Glabados Shrine Knights after the
Death Corps had been wiped out by the Hokuten Army.
Vormav, Rofel, Kletian, and Wiegraf managed to gain even more power
together than any of them had been able to acquire before--they
formed alliances with Alphons Draclau (Cardinal of Glabados and lord
of Lionel Castle), Dycedarg Beoulve (the lord of Igros Castle),
Balk Fenzol (a technically skilled Knight who was blacklisted after
the Fifty Year War), and Mesdoram Elmdor (the Marquis of Ivalice and
lord of Limberry Castle). The alliance grew even stronger, but Izlude
and Meliadoul were not allowed to join it. Vormav's violent nature
peaked during an incident at Riovanes Castle, where he used the power
of the "Leo" stone to unite with the soul of a monster named
Hashmalum, who had the power of Dimensional Magic at his disposal.
Vormav went on a rampage, slaughtering every Riovanes Knight present;
realizing that evil had overcome the soul of his father, Izlude, who
was also present at Riovanes, tried to stop his father. Unfortunately,
Izlude became yet another victim to Vormav's rampage.
Shortly after Vormav had killed Izlude he encountered Alma Beoulve,
who had been held prisoner by Wiegraf; he was just about to kill her
when the "Virgo" stone began to react, signaling that Alma was the
"chosen body" for St. Ajora to resurrect in. He took Alma captive, and
sought out the Murond Death City, where the resurrection could take
place. He eventually betrayed High Priest Funeral, killing him in an
attempt to find out the location of the Death City--Rofel was able to
use Archaic Phase Magic to determine its location, and he, Vormav, and
Kletian headed there along with Alma (Wiegraf had been killed by Alma's
brother Ramza during the Riovanes incident) Ramza, Meliadoul, and
some other comrades followed them to the Death City, where Meliadoul
confronted and defeated her father in a battle at the Graveyard of
Airships. Vormav immediately killed himself in an attempt to shed
enough blood to resurrect St. Ajora, the "Bloody Angel;" shortly after,
Ramza, Meliadoul, and their comrades defeated Ajora as well, ending
another chapter in the Zodiac Brave Story.
