Barst

"Sorry, Captain Ogma..."

- Barst's Shadow Dragon death quote

Barst (バーツ, Barts) is one of the three axe fighters in the Talis mercenary group from Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi. He supposedly became a mercenary after his mother died, due to the fact that he needed to get money to help raise his younger twin brothers Bord and Cord. He is first recruitable in chapter 2. Like the two of his fellow axe-wielding mercenaries, he is under the command of Ogma. After the war, he leaves Ogma's group and becomes a pirate.When Barst promotes,he becomes a powerful Warrior,capable of using bows, or in Shadow Dragon he can be reclassed into a Berserker.You gain him at the start of chapter 2 in Shadow Dragon.He starts out with a Steel Axe and a Hand Axe.He joins along with Bord,Cord and Ogma.His speed and defence are not very good(especially defence since he is a Fighter)although,he is a decent unit.
