[edit] Story
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
[edit] Final Fantasy XII
In Final Fantasy XII, Montblanc is the leader of a clan in the city of Rabanastre, which the player can join. The clan, called Clan Centurio, is a clan devoted to hunting marks of extreme difficulty. By joining Clan Centurio, the player will gain access to the clan shop, as well as being able to find bills not found on common pubs. In the Clan's headquarters, Montblanc stands at the top of the stairs on the banister in the middle, with the clan's founding members and trusty friends Krjn and Ma'kenroh behind him.
Over time, Montblanc reveals his founding of the clan is due to a figure who taught him and his five siblings the ways of world and they all looked up to him. But after Yiazmat took away the man, Montblanc started Clan Centurio, to find the strongest warrior to fight Yiazmat and avenge his teacher.
[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
- "No, this is by far the most kupo story I've ever heard!"
- —Montblanc, on Marche's existance in Ivalice
Montblanc is Marche Radiuju's most prominent ally in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, his first appearance. He is a Moogle, and prior to Marche's arrival is the leader of the clan which eventually becomes Clan Nutsy. When Marche is teleported to the dream Ivalice by the Gran Grimoire, he incites the wrath of two pugnacious Bangaa. Montblanc arrives on the scene in time to guide Marche through the systems of laws and engagements and helps him win the battle with the Bangaa.
Montblanc seems to have expected Marche's appearance, explaining to the Bangaa that Marche had "just come in from the country". The Moogle is then suprised to learn of Marche's story and his ignorance of the races of Ivalice, but invites the foreigner into Clan Nutsy anyway. Whether Montblanc decided to help Marche because he genuinely knew of his arrival in Ivalice or because he simply wanted to help a stranger in need is not clear.
Montblanc starts off as a Black Mage and can learn any Moogle job. As a storyline character, he may not be dispatched on any missions. Montblanc can be removed permanently from the game by letting him die in a Jagd, upon which a short scene will occur with Marche saying goodbye to his friend.
The only mission that made Montblanc the center of attention was the mission "Moogle Bride". The petitioner was Mogumi, a townsgirl who invited him to Materiwood to explain her feelings. But when Clan Nutsy arrived at Materiwood, it ends up to be a trick created by Reaker, a mog knight from Clan Rose. This mission only appeared after Marche had beat the Li Grim. There's also a similar mission from Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift named "A Bride for Montblanc"
[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
- "The elder of six moogle siblings, including Hurdy and Nono. Accustomed to looking after others, he'll never walk away from someone in need. The leader of Rabanastre's Clan Centurio, Montblanc always has an ear to the ground for the lastest gossip. Generally realiable, he sometimes seem to be a few propellers short of an airship."
- —Description
Montblanc returns as a playable character in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. The scene in which Montblanc first appears is humorously similar to the one where he first appeared in the first Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. In a side story, Montblanc is mentioned as one who gives encouragement to his younger brother Hurdy to travel the world. He also mentioned to bring back the rare and expensive vintage wine called Prudence - which is one of the wines found in Vagrant Story's Leá Monde - even though he doesn't actually drink.
His sprite was first seen at the Wood Village Pub when Luso has his first visit there, appearing at the same location again after Clan Gully finished the second mission.
In order to recruit him, the player must obtain the Gigas Pendant, Earrings of the Dead, and the Pin of Order. The quest Wanted: Friends, Kupo! will then appear at a pub. Montblanc was seeking these rare items, but upon seeing that Luso already has all of them he decides to give up on his treasure hunt and joins the clan for his stay in Jylland. When Hurdy asks him if it's alright for him to leave Clan Centurio unattended for his brief stay in Jylland, Montblanc claims Bansat will take care of things. If he's KOed he will cry out Marche Radiuju's name.
He joins the clan as a Black Mage, equipped with a Chill Rod and Magick Robe, and the spells Fire, Fira, Firaga, Thunder, Thundara, and Thundaga already mastered.
