Ranperre
From Final Fantasy Wiki
King Ranperre is a historical figure in Final Fantasy XI. He is a noteworth King of San d'Oria. He has high name recognition among players because of the zone named King Ranperre's Tomb, which is of course where he is buried. Situated near the Kingdom of San d'Oria, it is a likely place for players to visit for gaining experience at low, mid, and even high levels, and the location of many quests.
It almost goes without saying that King Ranperre was an Elvaan, as with all of the ruling class of San d'Oria.

King Ranperre 739 - 832
Ranperre R d'Oraguille, the 24th king of San d'Oria, reigned from 782 to 832. Also known as the Dragon King, Ranperre was hailed as the greatest monarch of the d'Oraguille family. He was born the eldest son of the crown prince of West San d'Oria, and diligently studied the arts of war from childhood. Ranperre acceded to the throne after agents of East San d'Oria murdered his father.
After ten years of fighting, the Dragon King subdued the East San d'Orian forces and put an end to the long and bloody civil conflict. He continued to build his legend by expelling the Orcish hordes from Ronfaure, and ridding the kingdom of marauding black dragons.
Rumors still flourish concerning the pact Ranperre supposedly made with a black dragon to protect his expansive tomb.
