Valter

Class: Wyvern Knight

Valter, also known as the Moonstone, is third strongest general in Grado's army, both in the past and the present. Valter is a sadistic wyvern knight who wields his lance with unsurpassed skill and strength. During his past career as a Grado general, Vigarde fired him for slaughtering innocents - but when the Emperor "changed", Valter was re-hired. Later (seen only in Eirika's route), he stages a duel with Glen for opposing him and ends up killing the other general, which causes Glen's younger brother Cormag to want revenge at first, and later to switch sides.

According to a support conversation between Cormag and Duessel, Valter used to be an only somewhat more decent and still sane man (though he wasn't "a gentle lamb before" as Duessel puts it) until, having had his own lance broken in battle, he took a cursed lance owned by General Duessel, which made him into the man he is now. Cormag then points out a weapon is only as good or evil as the man who wields it. He also lusts after the beautiful and strongwilled Eirika, and one of his reasons to fight is his desire to capture her and make her his puppet bride; Riev points out, as he hears about it, that Valter is like an animal, not letting the human rules stop his darkest desires. He dies at the assault on Jehanna Hall. Valter is unlocked by beating the seventh floor in the Lagdou Ruins.
