Hetzel

Hetzel is a senior member of the Begnion Senate who appears as a faint-hearted old man that, despite his opposition to the Empress Sanaki, does not appear to be an entirely antagonistic character. If Tibarn is used to fight him in the endgame, Tibarn acknowledges Hetzel and promises to make his death quick and painless. As the purchaser of the heron prince Rafiel, Hetzel pays an exorbitant price only to return the heron to Serenes Forest following the recovery of his health.

His appearance between games also changes. In Path of Radiance he wears a cap like the other senators, and sports a robe with a green outline. While in Radiant Dawn he wears no cap and wears a white robe with a blue outline, also in Radiant Dawn he comes off as more timid, while in Path of Radiance he shows more youthful vigor.

In Path of Radiance, he appears in the court game of "wit and words" that the Apostle plays with Ike upon his arrival in the Manal Cathedral of Sienne. He makes no further appearance, though secretly he saves Oliver following his defeat at the hands of the Greil Mercenaries at the end of chapter 17-4.

Hetzel makes his final appearance as a secondary boss of the second part of the endgame. He does not move often if at all and usually will just use his offensive staves, so Hetzel is considered an easy boss especially for this point in the game.
