* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:When he's killed as a Morph.]]

* {{Expy}}: Of Prince Chagall from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Genealogy of the Holy War]]'', being a delusionally arrogant megalomaniac who gets played like a fiddle by the true villains.

The son of Lord Darin, and a former classmate of Eliwood and Hector. Both jealous of their abilities and dismissive of them, he volunteers to lead the defence of Laus to try to lull them into a false sense of security.

The commander of Laus's Imperial Guard, tasked with the exterior defence of the seized Castle Caelin.

* WakeUpCallBoss: Has suprisingly high defenses, to the point where it's difficult to take him out with anybody except the Lords.

* {{Expy}}: Of Prince Chagall from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Genealogy of the Holy War]]''.

* AscendedExtra: In ''[=FE6=]'', he was a minor early-game boss. Here, he gets some more screen-time and personality, and even a minor role in the plot.

* {{Expy}}: Of Prince Shagaal from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Genealogy of the Holy War]]''.

* AscendedExtra: In [=FE6=], he was a minor early-game boss. Here, he gets some more screen-time and personality, and even a minor role in the plot.
