Bantu

"You there. Have you come across a young girl, one by the name of Tiki? She must be found, boy! Tiki is the last of the Naga, the divine-dragon clan."

- Bantu

Bantu (called Banutu in the Japanese version) is an elderly Manakete who took pity on the Divine Dragon Tiki, who is forced to constantly sleep otherwise she'd go insane, and decided to free her and travel with her, keeping her sanity intact. He was separated with her, and joins up with Marth to save her.

In the second book, he is once again separated with Tiki by Gotoh's orders and he eventually meet up with Marth to help him again.

In FE1/11, You can find him in a village to the south inside some walls during the chapter Lefcandith Gauntlet. He starts out with no weapons and looks for his Firestone, which can be obtained by visiting a village during A Brush in the Teeth. In his ending he abandons his Firestone and leaves for parts unknown.

Bantu comes unequipped, so it is vital to give him the Firestone if he needs to attack. You can find it in Chapter 5 when visiting a village in the north.

He can be a decent Manakete to use in battle, but has bad growth rates and is statwise considered of lesser use when compared to Tiki or Nagi. He is the only recruitable male Manakete in the series.
