Mallicur (Japanese:マリクルMariccle) was a crown prince ofIsaach, the second child of KingMananan and the father ofShannan. He died in battle during theGrannvale war against Isaach.
Biography
During his life, Mallicur – like his father – was an acquaintance of KingCalf ofLeonster, who held him in the utmost respect.[1] Following his father's retribution to House Ribaut for instigating the war, Mallicur remained behind with the army while his father sought to negotiate the truth of the matter with Grannvale, and when word reached him of Mananan's assassination at the Grannvale front, he led the army to seek vengeance against Grannvale.[2] Knowing his demise in battle against Grannvale would be inevitable, Mallicur entrusted the care of his young sonShannan to his younger sister,Ayra, with the hope that Shannan's survival would ensure that one day Isaach would rise again from the Grannvale conquest.[3] Mallicur wieldedBalmung in his attempts to fight Grannvale, and after his death it eventually entered the custody of theLoptr Church, held in their treasury in theAed Shrine.
Trivia
- Mallicur bears an extremely strong physical resemblance to his ancestorOd, something he shares with his sonShannan.

He's always said he is a fine young man." —Ayra andQuan inChapter 1,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - ↑"Ayra: So, too, thought my father. Once he executed the Ribaut patriarch, he departed for the Grannvale front, head in tow, to negotiate with them. But...
Quan: ...Yes?
Ayra: My father, the king... He was assassinated on the way. Once word of this returned to Isaach, the people were utterly incensed. Mallicur set out, leading our entire army, seeking vengeance against Grannvale." —Ayra andQuan inChapter 1,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - ↑"Sigurd: Listen. You detest Grannvalians. You've made your hostility perfectly clear. But you can't neglect your duty to the prince. You can't afford to waste your life now, not on a battle as senseless as this.
Ayra: My brother, the crown prince, entrusted Shannan to my care knowing that his death was inevitable. You're right. After all this time, I refuse to die for Verdane's sake. Until I've seen Shannan rise to the Isaachian throne, my life is not mine to forfeit to such dogs." —Sigurd andAyra inChapter 1,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - ↑"I am Ayra of Isaach.
