Other appearances
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War (Fujimori manga)
Waltz has a minor role in Fujimori Nuttsu'sGenealogy of the Holy War manga, which adapts the events of the first generation of the game in a more comedic manner. Similarly toChapter 2 ofFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, afterSigurd had invaded Agustria,Macbeth ordered Waltz's mercenary band to attack Sigurd's army while they were distracted defending the nearby villages from the bandits pillaging them, which Macbeth had Waltz gather.
En route to Sigurd's army, Waltz mentioned toBeowolf that PrincessLachesis had joined Sigurd's army, causing Beowolf to feel conflicted due to his friendship withEldigan; Waltz, unaware of this, thought that Beowolf was feeling down because they were essentially helping bandits raid villages and sympathized with him, but acknowledged that they were mercenaries and they need to execute their jobs as they had been paid. Beowolf, realizing that he had already received his payment from Macbeth, happily proceeded to abandon Waltz's mercenary band to join Sigurd's army, confusing Waltz. The actual battle between Waltz's mercenary band and Sigurd's army is not shown, and it is unknown if he perished in the fight.
