Skrimir



Skrimir (スクリミル, Sukurimiru?) is the nephew of Gallia's King Caineghis. He commands the Laguz Alliance in the war with Begnion. Prior to the events of Radiant Dawn, he was named Caineghis' successor: according to Ranulf, his second-in-command, Skrimir's actions in the war will prove his ability to lead his people. To Ranulf's unending annoyance, he is an extremely impulsive and fiery commander who cares nothing for strategy. He hold's Soren's strategic mind in high regard: at one point, he even invites Soren to sit beside him at a meeting (which, of course, Soren declines). His recklessness is taken advantage of by Begnion's General Zelgius (Black Knight), who challenges the Gallian commander to a duel: Skrimir suffers a humiliating defeat. The loss deals a great blow to Skrimir's pride, and he is forced to subdue his impulsiveness. A somewhat-wiser, more becalmed Skrimir then leads the Laguz Alliance back to Gallia; he later accompanies Micaiah's Silver Army to Begnion. Caineghis abdicates after the war, and Skrimir ascends to the throne of Gallia.
