Makalov

"Greetings, General! My, you're looking even more dashing and handsome than usual, Your Excellency."

- Makalov, to Geoffrey, when he becomes drunk in Radiant Dawn.

Makalov (マカロフ, Makarov) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. He is the older brother of Marcia.

=Personality=

He is fond of drinking, gambling and slacking from work; this constantly lands him in trouble with both unlawful and lawful forces, causing his younger sister, Marcia to constantly worry for his well-being. He often tries to bilk money out of his sister, sometimes even stealing from her purse. Regardless of their constant fighting, they somehow remain close siblings.

Through support with Astrid it is shown he can be honest when he got a keepsake pendant from her to settle his debts and gives it back to her (Marcia gets angry at him and demands that he return it to Astrid. Ike does this in Marcia's place if she was killed previously). When Astrid reveals the true value of the pendant to him, he is shocked that she would give up something so important to her for his sake. This most likely leads to their engagement in Radiant Dawn.
