Etzel

"My name is Etzel. I am a traveling sorcerer. Those Grustian cowards stole a ring from me, and were it not for you, I might never have seen it again."

- Etzel to Marth

Etzel is a Sorcerer and is one of the exclusive characters in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. He had a wife named Ursula, who died in one of many attacks that Doluna launched, and all that is left of her is her ring. During his travels, Etzel was captured by Dactyl, who uses the ring as leverage to make Etzel fight Marth. After Marth defeats Dactyl, Etzel regains his ring and joins Marth intending to end the war.
