Hannibal

"Your Majesty, how many times must I tell you? This battle is futile. Only a cease-fire with the liberation army will allow us the time to strengthen internally. Siding with the empire was an absurd idea. And the populace is now in jeopardy as a result!"

- Hannibal

Hannibal is known as "The Shield of Thracia", and he is the foster father of Corpul. He fights against his will in Chapter 9 after Trabant takes his foster son away and threatens to kill him if he Hannibal betrays. Hannibal can be recruited by Corpul or Sharlow, and after the liberation wars end, Hannibal becomes a high ranking general of the New Kingdom of Thracia. In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, he makes two appearances, one where he is shown to believe Leidrick is up to something, and another when he is talking to Leaf and gives him access to his mansion where Leaf's allies were staying at the time.

In-Game
Sadly, in this game, being a General is a bad thing due to the low movement, and combined that with the facts that Hannibal lacks Pursuit and has lackluster stat growths, and he is not a great unit. You might want to have him guard one of the castles you captured in Chapter 9 against Areone's final assault after you have him buy a Javelin or something, but he isn't really useful after this point.
