Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Role

Novala is theboss ofChapter 6.

During the chapter he appears withRiev, discussing the best course of action to captureEirika and herbracelet. Riev leaves after being assured that Novala will be successful.

Once Eirika's forces draw near, he attempts to convince them to surrender; he is successful in obtaining her bracelet after using someRenais citizens as bargaining chips but is unable to convince the group to lay down their weapons. Unperturbed, Novala then sends the citizens to their possible deaths at the hands of aBael, to Eirika's horror, and commands his accompanying troops to capture the princess and kill the rest of her party.

Novala ends up killed by Eirika's forces regardless of his efforts.

Personality

While Novala puts on a face of respect whenRiev is present, he appears to resent him in private and is eager to take his place. The way Novala and Riev discuss their "master" may imply that he is loyal tosomeone other thanGrado, but he is killed before this can be elaborated. One of Novala's primary goals was to garner fame and glory.

Novala is shown to take delight in the suffering of others and is remorseless when he sends theRenais citizens away to be eaten by aBael lurking in the nearby mountains. He also asserts that he may do as he likes during war and continues to express no remorse for his actions when confronted byEirika.
