Yes.. that’s Zemus in Ben’s signature. Yes, Golbez turns against Zemus and helps defeat him in FFIV. Zemus is the one that takes Golbez away from his family and brings him to the tower of Zot (like Ben is in Shimmer). Zemus is also the one that mindcontrols Golbez eventually into being the Dark Lord and enemy in the FFIV storyline. So Golbez isn’t too happy about Zemus once that mind control is broken.

Though if you look at it, it is actually Zeromus doing all this… through Zemus. If that makes any sense?

However, in my story… before FFIV, Golbez is taken to Zot as a child… his family is slain by Zemus. It is Zemus(Zeromus) that defeats KluYa on Mt. Ordeals and seals him there. That would be before the game… and it’s only speculation of ours as to how KluYa got on the mountain and how Golbez ended up taken by the darkness.

Cecil goes up the mountain with the Twins during the game to set aside the sword of a Dark Knight. At the summit of Mt. Ordeals, inside KluYa’s crystal chamber and he “meets” with the spirit of KluYa (though he doesn’t know who KluYa is till later). Cecil then is faced with a trial… and upon completing it, becomes the holy knight, Paladin.

In the game, Zeromus is sealed in the core of the Red Moon.. because he is stuck with Zemus.. and Zemus has been forced into cold sleep with the other Lunars. Or at least.. that’s how I saw it?

Zerom: Originates in Dreigiau. He is an Arweinydd and is Zemi’s “brother”. He seeks mastery of the Earthain worlds for power alone.. and eventually falls into Chaos. He is the one that makes the Marked in Nefol. And he is the one that is trying to control TsuYa. He often tries to pass himself off in the form of a white Dragon in order to give Zemi a bad name amongst Zemi’s own people.

Zeromus: This entity is what Zerom becomes once he’s fallen into Chaos. The suffix “us” means “one that was once”. So “Zeromus” means “one that was once Zerom”. Zeromus will appear in Dreigiau. He is also the ultimate bad guy in Final Fantasy IV. Zeromus is without a physical form by the time the Red Moon was created.. so he chose to take Zemus as his host-body.

Zemus: Was at first a regular Lunarian. He was known for his ambition and his rivalry against KluYa. It was because of his desire for power that he opened his mind to eventually be “possessed” by the hatred of Zeromus… Hence why when the heroes of FFIV defeat Zemus and destroy that physical form, Zeromus arises from it for the final battle.
