Story
Fall of Heliseum
As the leader of the Heliseum Council, Beldar was one of the highest-ranking members in Nova society. After Magnus sacked Heliseum, Beldar - using the time bought by the Former Kaiser - directed the Nova priests to transport their holy relic, the Outrigger, to the sanctuary city of Pantheon. When the priests were unable to move the relic, however, Beldar instead instructed them to extract as much power as they could from it. He then led the survivors to Pantheon, where he revealed that Kaiser had sacrificed his life to help the Nova escape. Though Cartalion wished to send reinforcements to Kaiser, Beldar vetoed the idea, claiming that their focus needed to be on deploying the Protective Shield over Pantheon. When Fenelle pointed out that they couldn't form the Protective Shield without their holy relic, the Outrigger, in Heliseum, Beldar explained that he had ordered the Nova priests to extract the power from the Outrigger. Though the priests hadn't had enough time to extract all of the Outrigger's power, he believed that they had gathered enough to protect Pantheon from Darmoor. Fenelle denounced Beldar as a coward who only ran to save himself, Beldar accepted the blame and noted that he had made the hard decision to save their people and live with the guilt of his actions.
Cartalion and Fenelle then began to wonder how the shield over Heliseum had fallen so easily, to which Beldar explained that Magnus had disabled the shield and brought in the Specter army to invade Heliseum. Fenelle asked Beldar about the fate of the royal family, with Beldar explaining that they had lost track of everything when the shield had fallen. However, he believed that if anyone in the royal family had survived, they would come to Pantheon, for which he emphasized the importance of getting the shield up as soon as possible. Fenelle noted that the power of the Outrigger may be unstable from being drained so suddenly, adding that it didn't help that the vessel wasn't intact. Because of this, she suggested splitting up the relic's power and splitting them up across Pantheon to ensure that the shield would remain active as long as not all the sacred stones were disabled at once. She suggested storing the Outrigger's power into four sacred stones which could only be handled by select high priests. Beldar approved Fenelle's suggestion and asked when the next Kaiser would reincarnate. Fenelle explained that Kaiser's spirit would select a child born after the death of the previous Kaiser, adding that all they could do was wait for the new Kaiser to reveal themselves. She also suggested keeping Kaiser's reincarnation a secret in order to prevent the enemy from targeting Nova children.
Invasion of Pantheon
Decades after the fall of Heliseum, Magnus attempted to invade Pantheon with the Specter army. After the Nova successfully repelled the invasion with the help of the new Kaiser, Kyle, and Angelic Buster, Kaiser proposed an operation to lower the shield to draw in the remaining Specters before restoring it, thereby wiping them all out at once. Cartalion gave Angelic Buster a document outlining Kaiser's plan in order to pass on to Beldar. Though Beldar was mistrustful of Angelic Buster and believed Kaiser's plan to be foolhardy, he nevertheless gave his reluctant approval. Following the success of Kaiser's plan, Beldar summoned Kaiser and told him that the Heliseum Council had approved of the plan to advance on Tyrant's Castle. He explained that it would be Kaiser's responsibility to gather allies for the invasion because while Magnus might be a conquerable foe, Darmoor was certainly not. He then told Kaiser that the Council had ordered him and Angelic Buster to travel through the Interdimensional Portal in the Great Temple in order to find allies in the unknown world. Soon after, Angelic Buster was called to Pantheon by Beldar, who admitted that her role in the crisis had earned his respect for her. After thanking her for her help, he explained that he was hoping to recruit her to travel through the Interdimensional Portal. He revealed that the portal had been created when Gerand Darmoor had stolen Chronica's powers, which had warped spacetime. He explained that the Nova had been unsure of where it led, and so they had sealed it as a precaution, though Magnus's latest attack had led the Council to agree to open the portal in order to find allies in the new world that it led to. Angelic Buster asked why the Council had agreed to open it, to which Beldar explained that the Council had approved a plan to retake Tyrant's Castle in Heliseum with Magnus' army in shambles. Angelic Buster agreed to help the Nova and used the Interdimensional Portal to cross to Maple World.
Maple World Alliance
After Kaiser made contact with the Cygnus Knights in Maple World, he discovered that Magnus was a Commander of the Black Mage. Believing that the Nova could form an unofficial understanding with the Cygnus Knights, Kaiser delivered a letter from Neinheart to Beldar, who believed that the Cygnus Knights' terms were reasonable. He noted that he hadn't expected Magnus to go to Maple World and wondered whether he may have treated the injuries that he had sustained at the hands of the former Kaiser there. After hearing Kaiser's opinion of the Knights, Beldar approved the union and appointed Kaiser as the Nova people's official liaison with them.
Meeting Cadena
After Cadena traveled to Pantheon, Fenelle asked her to prove her strength in order to use the Interdimensional Portal, as they didn't know what dangers awaited them in the new world. She then asked Cadena to see Beldar and Cartalion, who would each conduct a test of strength. Cadena then met with Beldar, who recognized her as the Hero of Justice and issued her a test to collect Onyx Stonegar Magic Stones.
Meeting Illium
After Illium and the surviving Verdant Flora arrived in Pantheon, Beldar spotted them and mistook them for High Flora, for which he ordered the knights to arrest the children. The students explained that they were Verdant Flora, but Cartalion retorted that the Verdant Flora had been wiped out by Darmoor during the fall of Aboris. Beldar added that the Verdant Flora were said to have nursed a vicious hatred for the High Flora, which had caused Darmoor's awakening as the Transcendent of Life and had brought destruction upon them all. Illium and the students protested that those were merely rumors, and that the survivors of the Verdant Flora had been in hiding for ages. Ex also added that unsubstantiated rumors were a foolish means by which to judge others. Irritated, Beldar told them that Heliseum didn't need the Verdant Flora's interference to survive. Morian pointed out that since they were all victims of Darmoor, they should be united against him. Cartalion then told Beldar to calm down and asked what they were all doing in Pantheon. Illium told him that they were looking for the other dimension, and that they would leave Pantheon as soon as they could, to which Cartalion ordered them to leave before sundown. Meanwhile, Kaiser had overheard the entire exchange and let Kylan know about what had happened. Kylan invited the students to the Great Temple and explained how Kaiser had mentioned that they were looking for information about the other dimension. He asked why they were looking for it, to which Illium responded that he was looking for an object that might be able to prevent Darmoor from causing further destruction. As their goals were united, Kylan told them that he would assist the students in going to the other dimension and asked them to bring him Gravi Stonegar Magic Stones. After giving him the materials, Kylan began to tell them about the other dimension when Beldar and Cartalion arrived. Cartalion reminded them that they had been ordered to leave Pantheon immediately, but Kaiser then stepped in and explained that the students had offered to help him with his mission. He told them that with the Magic Stones, the Interdimensional Portal had become much easier to activate. Beldar was still suspicious of the students, but Kylan told him that he believed them to be trustworthy. He then explained to Illium and the others that they would find the other dimension beyond the portal and cautioned them to take care. With that, the students entered the portal and emerged in the Six Path Crossway in Maple World.
Meeting Ark
After Ark traveled to Pantheon in order to use the Interdimensional Portal, he immediately felt his power being drained and collapsed on the ground. He was awoken by Kaiser, who was alarmed by Ark's Flora ears and Specter arm. He, along with Cartalion, Beldar, and Fenelle, took Ark to the edge of the Protective Shield, where they began to question him. Beldar noted that Ark had Flora ears, but no magic wings, and suspected that he was related to the last group of Flora children who had come to Pantheon recently. Cartalion pointed out that Ark's arm was definitely Specter, noting that he had been weakened by the Protective Shield, which was intended to keep Specters out, and wondered whether Ark was in league with Magnus. Kaiser countered that Ark would have known about the Protective Shield if that were true, which Fenelle agreed with. Ark then explained that he was a deserter of the High Flora army, and that he now fought against them. Though he explained his situation, Beldar still didn't trust him, but Fenelle told them that Ark's auratic vibration was tranquil, and that she sensed that he had a strong will to do good. With Fenelle's approval, the group agreed to allow Ark to travel through the Interdimensional Portal and left Kaiser to escort him there.
Meeting Adele
After Adele decided to train in Maple World, she arrived outside the Protective Shield, where Nova soldiers immediately surrounded her. Cartalion, Beldar, and Fenelle arrived to meet her and demanded to know her purpose. Adele told them that she had come to use the Interdimensional Portal, but Cartalion and Beldar believed that she had an ulterior motive. Fenelle then requested to speak with Adele alone and escorted her to the Great Temple, after which she granted Adele permission to use the Interdimensional Portal.
Meeting Kain
After Kain traveled to Pantheon, he was quickly stopped by the border guards. Beldar and Cartalion greeted him and asked him for his purpose. Kain refrained from mentioning that he was a Black Nova, though he was intrigued to be in the homeland of his ancestors. He explained that he wanted to use the Interdimensional Portal, and so they escorted him to the Great Temple, where Fenelle allowed him to cross into Maple World.
Siege of Heliseum
Having increased their strength since repelling Magnus' invasion of Pantheon, the Nova began their operation to retake Heliseum. With Edea appointed as the Supreme Commander of the Nova army and Piston as her second-in-command, their forces were able to push into Heliseum and establish the Heliseum Reclamation HQ. As the battle began, Kaiser was summoned back to Pantheon by Beldar, who told him that the Nova had finally begun the operation to retake Heliseum. Though he admitted that Magnus was a formidable foe, he explained that they couldn't put it off any longer, as they needed to recover the Outrigger. In order to gather allies, Beldar asked Kaiser to deliver a letter to the Cygnus Knights in Ereve. Together, the Alliance and the Nova agreed to send a small, elite team of Alliance soldiers to aid the Nova in the operation, with Kaiser soon returning to inform Beldar about the plan.
After Cadena learned about the operation to retake Heliseum, she met with Beldar, who greeted her as the Hero of Justice and asked her to meet with Edea and Piston at the Heliseum Reclamation HQ. Soon after, Kylan summoned Illium to Pantheon and told him that Beldar had requested aid from the Maple Alliance about reclaiming Heliseum. Illium noted that Beldar didn't trust him, but Kylan told him that Beldar might see the Verdant Flora in a different light if Illium were to help the Nova. Illium went to see Beldar, who told him that though he still didn't trust him, he trusted Kylan's recommendation. He then asked Illium to travel to the Heliseum Reclamation HQ in order to meet with Piston and Edea. Meanwhile, Kaiser contacted Ark to let him know that he had convinced the Council to allow Ark to join the Heliseum Reclamation HQ, though he added that not everyone had agreed. Even though he knew that Ark didn't have bad intentions, Kaiser explained that he still needed proof that the Nova would be safe, since it was his responsibility as the Guardian. However, he then added that Ark's lack of hesitation to help those in trouble served as proof enough to him. Ark then went to Pantheon and met Beldar, who directed him to the Heliseum Reclamation HQ. Elsewhere, Adele received a letter from Fenelle asking for her aid in retaking Heliseum. She traveled to Pantheon and met Beldar, who told her that though he didn't trust her, he was willing to work with her because of Fenelle's recommendation. He told Adele to meet with Piston and Edea at the Heliseum Reclamation HQ.
Some time later, Fenelle reached out to Khali and explained that the Nova were fighting to retake their capital, and that now was their chance to do so. She then asked Khali to return to Pantheon in order to aid them. Khali noted to herself that the Nova had believed in and helped her, a High Flora, and so, she decided that she would be happy to help if she could. Fenelle asked her to learn more from Beldar, who told her that though he didn't trust her, he was willing to work with her because of Fenelle's recommendation. He told Khali to meet with Piston and Edea at the Heliseum Reclamation HQ. Meanwhile, Kain received a letter from Gen, who wrote that the Nova were planning to retake Heliseum and asked him to assist them, as the Nova were one of the Shadowdealers' biggest clients and their loss would affect the Shadowdealers. In exchange for access to the Shadowdealers' intelligence network, Kain agreed to help the Nova. Kain met Beldar in Pantheon, who recognized him by the new name that Gen had given him.[1] He then directed Kain to meet with Edea and Piston at the Heliseum Reclamation HQ. While on her travels, Lara was approached by Kain on behalf of the Shadowdealers, who told her that the Nova were preparing to retake Heliseum. Kain was surprised that Lara readily accepted his request without even considering stipulations, payments, or even details. He connected her with Beldar in Pantheon, who explained their situation and asked her to travel to the Heliseum Reclamation HQ. Elsewhere, Hoyoung received a letter from Fenelle asking for his aid in retaking Heliseum. He traveled to Pantheon and introduced himself to Beldar, who was surprised to see an Anima not in hiding. He then asked Hoyoung to meet with Edea and Piston at the Heliseum Reclamation HQ. Meanwhile, Neinheart contacted Ren and told her that he was dispatching her on an urgent mission to Grandis, explaining that the Nova had asked the Alliance for help. Ren agreed to lend her aid and met with Beldar, who told Ren that he had heard of her reputation as a woman of few words. He then tasked her with meeting with Edea and Piston at the Heliseum Reclamation HQ. Soon after, Neinheart dispatched an Alliance member from Maple World to assist the Nova. In Pantheon, Beldar expressed his sincere gratitude to them for lending their aid. He explained that the Nova had been planning to retake Heliseum for many years, and with the appearance of powerful warriors like Kaiser and Angelic Buster, the Nova had gone forward with their plan to retake the capital by establishing the Heliseum Reclamation HQ. However, as Magnus's Specter army was too strong for them to face, he asked the Alliance member for their aid in the battle. After the Alliance member accepted, Beldar asked them to meet with Tiron at the dimensional door to Heliseum.
After the successful operation to retake Heliseum, Beldar summoned Ark back and apologized for his behavior, noting that it must have taken great strength and courage on his part to help. He explained that he now believed Kaiser's word that Ark had good intentions and invited him to visit Pantheon or call on the Nova for help if he ever needed it. Meanwhile, Morian contacted Illium and told him that Beldar wanted to speak to him. In Pantheon, Beldar told Illium how Edea had mentioned that he had been helpful in reclaiming Heliseum, for which Beldar wanted to offer his deepest gratitude and apologies for mistrusting Illium and the other Verdant Flora. He admitted that the Nova records of the Verdant Flora revealed a dark history, but that Illium's actions had proven that their histories were biased. He welcomed the Verdant Flora to visit Pantheon whenever they wished and implored them to let him know if they ever needed the Nova's help. Beldar then summoned Adele back and apologized for his behavior earlier, calling her a true friend of the Nova. Soon after, Beldar summoned Khali back and explained that he had received a letter from Fenelle about how she had played a big role in retaking Heliseum. He then apologized for his behavior and thanked her for her help. Some time later, Beldar summoned Kain back and thanked him for his help. He told Kain to tell Gen that there wouldn't be any more issues in their future dealings and that he didn't need to worry about picking up the tab. He also told Kain that Fenelle had sent her best wishes and had asked him to tell Kain, “Memories and Malice are one. You will find both, whether you want them or not.” Soon after, Beldar summoned Lara back and thanked her for her help.
Tenebris
During the final battle against the Black Mage, Beldar worked at the Alliance's Outpost, where he helped with the preparations for the Alliance's operation to advance on Tenebris.
