Cervantes (Japanese:セルバンテスCervantes) is aValmese general and the boss ofChapter 16 ofFire Emblem Awakening. He also serves as a mini-boss inChapter 20. Cervantes is a man especially proud of his facial hair, considering it a good-luck charm.

Cervantes is first seen leading a band charged with blocking the only route to the top of the Mila Tree. Having been warned byExcellus about the arrival ofChrom and theShepherds, he sets about to defend the area. Cervantes is defeated here, but eventually makes his way back to Valm Castle where he, Excellus, andWalhart make a last stand against the Shepherds, only to be defeated again.

Fighting Cervantes in Chapter 20 is optional; his defeat is not required in order to clear that chapter.

Cervantes: Invincible General
Cervantes is one of the Valmese Empire's generals. A bold and hearty man, he's a warrior through and through. But he may be best known for his distinctive beard, which he's never shaved since his first battle!	Originally, Cervantes dreamed of ruling a land of his own. However, he was so impressed by the ambitions of Walhart, the emperor of Valm, that he willingly chose to serve him.	Having never lost a battle, Cervantes developed the superstition that his beard would always keep him safe as long as it remained unshorn. I hear that he broke out in a cold sweat when his whiskers came within a hair's breadth of Say'ri's blade—talk about a close shave!	Cervantes dreams of a future in which Walhart rules the world, but I wonder what that world would look like…
