Lore

Blaz was born to a family descendant from the founders of the martial school, the Verdant Path, where they trained their students in any and all forms of martial combat. Originally, the school's founder had entered into an agreement with the Garlean Empire that they would not fight against the Empire in exchange for not being wiped out, and held a strict policy that no student was allowed to enter into any resistance at risk of expulsion. Blaz's father, like many others, disagreed with the school's stance, and joined a resistance.

Unfortunately, the resistance had been crushed, and Blaz's father had to flee to Doma, where he would wed and eventually have a son. Blaz himself grew up in Doma and joined a prestigious Samurai school to follow in his father's footsteps. Many years later, at the liberation of Doma, Blaz joined the cause and fought for the nation's freedom. Once the kingdom was liberated, he learned of a resistance rising back in Bozja, his father's homeland. Knowing what he must do, he made for the Bozjan Resistance.

There he met up with the Verdant Path, who had since changed their allegiance to side with the Resistance, and they welcomed Blaz with open arms. He soon met with his cousin, Velibor, and the two formed a close bond. They battled hard against the Empire, and Blaz was even offered a teaching position within the school, which he denied. His exploits eventually reached the leader of the resistance, and he was brought in to the elite group known as the Blades of Gunnhildr.

When fighting broke out on the Bozjan Southern Front, Blaz joined in the fighting, taking part in many great battles there. When the Blades charged against Castrum Lacus Litore, he was amongst their ranks. Unfortunately, he was present when Misija attacked them using the blade Save the Queen, a sword holding the latent memories and emotions of Queen Gunnhildr. She forced the Warrior of Light and Mikoto to use the Echo to enter into the memories of the blade, and twisted them to turn the Queen's power against her foes. She used the power of the blade to summon Queen Gunnhildr as a Primal and Tempered most of the Blades present, including Blaz. He was twisted together with his fellow Blades and warped into a horrific monster that was finally put to rest by the Warrior of Light.
