Belias is an Esper, the first one that you have encountered so far, and he is responsible for guarding the Dawn Shard.
He is a fire-based Esper and most of his damage will come from fire-based Magick spells. Do not use fire-based Magick such as 
Fire on him as it will heal him instead of inflicting damage. The most effect spell to use against him is Aqua. Belias is susceptible to 
Slow so be sure to try and inflict it early on in the fight.
You should also cast 
Shell on each of your party members to minimize the amount of damage done and be sure to remove the Oil status effect if any of your party members are afflicted as this will cause increased damage from fire-based attacks. His Firaja spell has a chance to inflict the Oil status effect.
A video of the battle in the Zodiac Age version is included below:
Congratulations – you now have Belias as an Esper which you can use in battle!
Belias is similar to Ifrit in previous Final Fantasy titles. His attacks are Fire-based. His standard attack is called Painflare and his ultimate attack is called Hellfire (which hits all enemies in range).
