Caldas (Japanese:カルタスCartas) was a duke who led theLiberation Army during theWar of Liberation against Dolhr and later became the king of Archanea through marriage to Artemis after Medeus's defeat.

Biography

As a resentment for the persecution of theManakete survivors of the dragonkin,Medeus and hisDolhr Empire engaged Archanea in a war of vengeance which would later be known as the War of Liberation. Following the extermination of the Archanean royal family save for PrincessArtemis, who took refuge in theAltea region, Caldas was given the Fire Emblem and rallied a Liberation Army against Dolhr. He was presumably one of the Three Heroes of the War of Liberation, of which GeneralOrdwin was also a member. The Liberation Army successfully challenged the forces of Dolhr whileAnri, wielder ofFalchion, eventually slew Medeus and brought an end to the war. Afterward, Artemis reluctantly married Caldas at the request of the Archanean nobility, and he became the new king, while Caldas's younger brother,Marlon, forged the plains north of the country to form the kingdom ofAurelis, a close ally of Archanea.
