— The Captain

An unnamedGraCaptain (Japanese:グラ軍隊長Gra Army Captain) is the boss ofPrologue IV ofFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon; he is a new addition to the plot of theWar of Shadows that did not appear inShadow Dragon & the Blade of Light or its first remake, Book 1 ofMystery of the Emblem.

Biography

DuringGra's sudden invasion ofAltea Castle in theWar of Shadows, this captain was the last obstacle standing between PrinceMarth's forces and their successful escape toTalys; his role was primarily to stall Marth's army long enough for Gra's main force and theSable Order to arrive and finish them off. Ignoring demands that he wait forJiol's main force to arrive, the Captain arranged a trap hoping Marth would kill one of his own men,Gordin. The captain ultimately failed in his duty and fell to Marth and his escaping army.

Personality

As a minor boss, Captain isn't very developed, but some things can be surmised about him. The Gra Captain was ambitious as he sought to obtain the honor of killing Marth to his own squad to obtain glory and recognition for himself fromDolhr.[1] He preferred using tactics and subterfuge to make up for the weakness of his small platoon.[2]

Trivia

  • The Captain's growth rates are the same as the bosses from the Gaiden chapters.
