Dorr

From Aselia, the Tales wiki

Dorr is the Governor-General of Palmacosta, the largest town in Sylvarant in Tales of Symphonia. He is admired by the townspeople for his courage against the Desians, as well as taking care of his daughter Kilia after his wife Clara died.

[edit] The Truth

When the party is about to infiltrate the Palmacosta Human Ranch, the Assistant Governor-General Neil stops them, telling them it is a trap. It is revealed that Dorr is actually working with the Desians, tricking the party in an attempt to kidnap the Chosen. The player then chooses whether the party should go to Dorr right away or after destroying the Human Ranch.

Dorr speaking to Lloyd.

When the party comes back to Palmacosta, they learn that Dorr's wife, Clara, had actually been transformed into a monster by Magnius, because Dorr's father (the previous Governor-General) had fought against the Desians. Dorr was promised a cure for his wife if he worked with them and gave them enough Gald. While being obsessed finding a cure, he hadn't noticed that his daughter had been killed and replaced by the right hand of Pronyma, the leader of the Five Grand Cardinals of the Desians. The Desians did so in order to spy on Dorr and make sure he kept his promise.

When Dorr begins to doubt the Desian's promise, the fake Kilia mortally wounds Dorr and reveals herself as a monstrous half-elf. After fighting and killing the fake Kilia, Dorr uses his final moments to ask the party if Kilia really is dead. Lloyd, having pity for the man, lies and tells him that the real Kilia still is alive, something that upsets Colette. Raine tries to heal Dorr, but as her healing arts are not strong enough yet, she is incapable of doing anything, and turns away in shame as Dorr asks Lloyd to rescue Chocolat and possibly find a cure for his wife. Whatever answer the player chooses Lloyd is going to answer, Dorr dies. After these events Neil take over as Governor-General of Palmacosta.
