“Your Majesty, you know that I will gladly lay down my life for an honorable cause!”
—Duessel to Vigarde

Duessel, the "Obsidian", is one of Grado's Six Generals. Along with Selena and Glen, Duessel is one of the three original Generals before the invasion of Renais. He is characterized by his martial prowess, honor, and his will to fight for the greater good. He trained Ephraim at one point, and both characters are good friends. During Chapter 10 on Ephraim's path, Duessel defects to Ephraim's side.

Through support conversations it is revealed that a lance which Duessel posseses, the Gavaleus, is what turned Valter so insane and bloodthirsty, and that he knows where Amelia's lost mother Melina is. Throughout the game Duessel had been questioning the Emperor's actions, such as making Riev, Caellach, and Valter generals, and the war itself. This seems to indicate he has high moral values.

Overall

He doesn't have very good Skill or Speed. Duessel shouldn't be getting in that many double attacks so you're better off using either Brave weapons, which take advantage of his high Constitution, or Killer weapons with Critical rate bonuses from supports to try and hit with one big haymaker. Being a Great Knight, he has good Defense and some Resistance. Don't use him a lot, as he is one of the highest promoted units and won't gain much experience off of killing off enemy units. His defense is useful for defending one-way corridors though.

Possible Endings

Default Ending: Duessel, Obsidian General,Following the war, Duessel returned to Grado, where he was instrumental in its rebuilding. He spent his remaining years watching over Grado and sharing his wisdom with other nations as an expert combat instructor.

Duessel and Amelia: Upon their return to Grado, Duessel reunited Amelia with her mother. The two wept with joy, giving thanks to Duessel. Afterward, Amelia became the most trusted companion of the man once known as Obsidian.
