Dolph

"Forgive me...Princess Nyna..."

- Dolph's death quote in Shadow Dragon.

Dolph (トムス, Tomth in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. He is found imprisoned with Macellan, Midia, Boah and Tomas in Castle Akaneia. He also bears a striking similarity to his fellow knight Macellan, which is mentioned in their ending titles. In his ending he leaves the army as a rejection of Hardin taking the Akaneian throne. His starting class is a Knight.

Overall
Unlike Macellan, who he bears a resemblance to, Dolph is often thought of one of the better armor knights in the game and the best character recruited in Chapter 12. If he is class swapped, Horseman is recommended.

"Dolph politely declined requests to return to the Akaneian army. He continued to help with the reconstruction on the Akaneian border."

Etymology
Dolph's Japanese name derives from "Tom", which originates from the Aramaic language designation תום tōm "twin". This is befitting of his resemblance to Macellan.

Dolph is a diminutive of Adolph/Adolf, which came from a German name meaning "noble wolf". Its frequent attribution to Adolf Hitler, the Nazi leader mostly responsible for World War II, has greatly decreased the usage of the name.
