Rose's memories from the Dragon Campaign.
In Rose's memories in Lidiera, it is revealed that Zieg was the original bearer of the Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit during the Dragon Campaign. In the final battle of the campaign in Kadessa, he goes head-to-head in a duel against Melbu Frahma, the Wingly dictator, who was in possession of the Dragon Buster. Zieg and Melbu Frahma get into a fight, as Melbu Frahma attacks him with a magic spell. Zieg dodges the attack, closes in and thrusts his sword through Melbu's Frahma's body. The Wingly, however, casts a petrification spell on Zieg, and the two go down together. Zieg is petrified in an "eternal curse" by Melbu Frahma that turns him into stone for ages. Rose has to watch her lover getting petrified and is unable to save and hold on to him.
Chapter 3: Fate & Soul[]

Upon visiting Fort Magrad, it is revealed that Zieg was Rose's fiancée, and that they intended to get married after the war.
Vellweb[]
WARNING: Major spoilers follow from here.
In Vellweb, Dart and his group confront Emperor Diaz, who abducted Shana and ordered Lloyd to gather the Divine Moon Objects. There, Diaz reveals that his true plot of giving birth to the 108th species is a plan for the destruction of the world. After disposing of Lloyd, Diaz unmasks himself und reveals himself to be Zieg Feld, to the shock of Rose of Dart, and sheds light on the identities of the Moon Child and the Black Monster.
The mirror room in Aglis shows Zieg destroying the Moon Mirror.
Chapter 4: Moon & Fate[]
Zieg, able to fly, goes to the Death City Mayfil.
Having abducted Shana, Zieg sets off to realize his plan. Despite Dart and his group chasing him, he manages to destroy the Signet Spheres in the Magical City Aglis, the Law City Zenebatos and the Death City Mayfil, making the Moon That Never Sets, which is the body of the God of Destruction, fall onto the Endiness continent. Upon uniting Shana, who is the vessel for the soul of the God of Destruction, with the core of the Moon, he reaches his goal of giving birth to the 108th species. In the core of the Moon That Never Sets, he then faces off in a battle against Dart and his group, but is subsequently defeated, leading to the revealing of the true mastermind behind the plot, the ancient Wingly dictator Melbu Frahma, who leaves Zieg's body after his defeat in battle.
Melbu Frahma leaves the body of Zieg.
Melbu Frahma then reveals the truth behind everything surrounding Zieg. After over 11,000 years, the petrification spell of Melbu Frahma eventually wore off, and Zieg Feld was freed again in an apparently peaceful world, where humans reigned instead of Winglies. He met his wife Claire, settled down in the town of Neet and had a son, Dart, all while still having the Dragoon Spirit of the Red-Eye Dragon in his possession. However, 18 years before the events of the game, when the Black Monster attacks Neet on its quest to kill the Moon Child, Zieg used his Dragoon Spirit, possibly with the intention of fighting the Black Monster, and by doing so, he unintentionally sets the spirit of Melbu Frahma free, who, upon being slayed by Zieg in their duel 11,000 years ago, sealed his spirit inside Zieg's Dragoon Spirit. Now fully possessed by Melbu Frahma, Zieg left the village and set out to realize Melbu Frahma's grand plan to give birth to the 108th species planned by the creator Soa.
Rose goes to Zieg after the final battle.
Epilogue[]
Rose and Zieg charge at Melbu Frahma with the Dragon Buster.
In the end, Zieg, who turned back to his old self, and Rose decide to go together to destroy Melbu Frahma once and for all. Rose gives him the Dragon Buster and they fly towards Frahma in the body of the God of Destruction. They charge towards his core, causing a huge explosion, destroying the God of Destruction for good and giving the other Dragoons a chance to escape.
Rose and Zieg die in the explosion of the Moon.
As they leave, Rose thanks Dart for meeting with him, for none of this would have ever happened. Zieg and Rose fade out together into the white light and a huge explosion obliterates the Moon and everything surrounding it. Upon seeing this, Dart calls out to his father and Rose one last time.
After the ending cutscene and credits, his Dragoon Spirit along with Rose's are lying on the ground. In the ending cutscene, several scenes from all of Endiness are seen, with a white bird with dark purple feathers being present in all of them. At the end, the bird sits down next to another white bird with red feathers on a dead branch of the Divine Tree, where the Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit and the Dark Dragoon Spirit are laying on the ground. The scene suggests that Rose and Zieg, represented by the birds with the colors of their elements, are now happily united with each other.
Battle in the Moon That Never Sets[]
In the battle, Zieg's skills and magic are equivalent to what Dart uses in his Red-Eye Dragoon form. He uses the Dragoon Addition, and the same Dragoon Magic. His animations, however, slightly differ from Dart, unlike the animations of the four Dragoon Spirits encountered in the towers of Vellweb, which are identical to their present-day counterparts.
When using the Red Dragon Armor, which can be purchased in Zenebatos, Dart has a significantly easier fight, as he is immune to any magic Zieg will cast and can only be hurt by the Dragoon Addition. For other group members, it is advisable to use the Red-Eye Stone, obtained by defeating Firebird on Disc 1, which halves fire elemental damage.
