—Alva's death quote
Alva is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. A 20 year old knight of Leonster, he is best friends with Cain.
Profile[]
Alva first appears in Chapter 9, where he, along with Cain and Robert, is led by Selphina on a mission to guard General Hannibal's mansion from the invading Thracian army. He later joins Leif's army when it rendezvouses with Selphina's squadron.
Alva then goes on to continue supporting Leif in his cause to liberate Northern Thracia from the Grannvale Empire. He requests a post in Southern Thracia thereafter, where he works to restore the area's public order under Altena's leadership. While initially looked down by the locals as a "Northerner", he comes to be respected and trusted by them in time.
Personality[]
Due to his limited characterization, not much is known of Alva. According to his description on the official website of Thracia 776, Alva is bright and cheerful. This is supported by his ending, where, despite being viewed with disdain by the locals of Southern Thracia after moving to work there, he eventually wins over their hearts.
It can also be assumed that Alva is an optimistic and driven character from his escape quote, as he encourages the members of Leif's army to keep pressing on.

Alva, much like Cain, is an unfortunate unit in Thracia 776. His growths are solid and his sword rank is in theory workable enough for indoor maps. Unfortunately, his bases are poor, he has no skills, but worst of all, he is mounted in a game where Warp comes extremely early. As such, he is likely only being used in his starting chapter to ensure a smooth clear and that is it. There is no reason to use him over any other better overall mounted units like Finn.

- At his own request, Alva was reassigned by Leif and Altena to a post in the former region of South Thracia. There, he strived to quell the area's civil unrest, and restore order to the war-torn land. At first, the locals treated him with distrust, referring to him only as "the Northerner." Yet his jovial and friendly nature eventually won over the people's hearts, and they treated him as one of their own.

Trivia[]
- Alva shares the same name as a paladin from Genealogy of the Holy War.
- Although Alva and Cain technically fulfil the Cain and Abel archetype, they are not mentioned in the official list of characters in the Cain and Abel archetype in the Archanea Chronicle. This indicates that Intelligent Systems does not officially count them as part of the Archetype.
