Bolis Rhumoth (騎士 リ ュ ー モ ス , Kishi Ryūmosu, Knight Ryumos) is a non-playable character in the Tactics Ogre games. He is the second of two leaders that must be defeated in order to reach Phidoch Castle during the second part of Chapter 1.

His name was localized as Ryumos in the orignal North American Playstation release, while in North America version of the 2010 PSP remake he was given the new name of Bolis. The Japanse version of the PSP remake kept his name as Ryumos. Bolis/Ryumos still lacked a Warren Report entry in this version, so the difference in names was left unclairifed in-game. Externally, this discrepency was clarified via the Tactics Ogre: Lover's Voice fan book, published in 2011 only in Japan, which gave his original name, Ryumos, as his surname, and Bolis as his given name.

In 2022, with Tactics Ogre: Reborn, the Galgastani knight finally recieved his own Warren Report entry, which, as in the 2011 fan book, gave his original name, now localized as Rhumoth, as his surname, and Bolis as his given name.

In Chapter 1, while Denam is en route to Phidoch Castle, he comes across Bolis, who currently commands the Galgastani garrison at Rhime. Bolis had apprehended Cistina and threatens to kill her, however, his plan is thwarted by the timely arrival of Denam who slays Bolis in combat.

A Galgastani who served his clan in battle. A commoner from Krysaro, Bolis Rhumoth was a young man with dreams of knighthood who volunteered to join the army during the massive recruitment drive before the founding of the Kingdom of Galgastan. As a lightly armored footsoldier at the Battle of Almorica he suceeded in slaying the enemy commander, and for this achievement, he was knighted. His first assignment was to garrison Rhime.

While patrolling the town, he discoverd Cistina, a member of the Liberation Front, and attempted to capture her, but ran afoul of Denam, and was slain in the ensuing battle.

Bolis had promised to marry a woman from his hometown of Krysaro after his tour in Rhime. Although he realized his dream of becoming a knight, other happiness in his life remained forever out of grasp.

'The sooner you accept the truth, the sooner this will be over. The alternative is also swift yet... painful.'

Cistina: Kill me if you wish! You can never kill our spirit, nor our desire for justice!

'Defiant cur! Kill her.'

[They move in to execute her, she dodges out of the eay, and a sound is heard]

'Hmm? Who goes there?'

- Upon Death -

'What!? I was not fated to die here... not to you!'
