“…I'm sorry. I searched for a long, long time, but you never turned up… Besides, with the man I am now… with all the blood I've got on my hands… I figured it was better if you didn't have anything to do with me, wherever you were.”
—Galzus to his daughter Mareeta

Galzus is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. He is the prince of the fallen Kingdom of Ribaut, the father of Mareeta, and the cousin of Prince Shannan of Isaach.

Profile[]

Galzus seeks revenge against the Kingdom of Isaach, after Ribaut was invaded by King Mananan following Ribaut's massacre of Dahna. It appears he later decides to abandon the idea of revenge after Munster Castle is retaken. He also decides to leave Mareeta with Eyvel, who would not have allowed otherwise, though he promises to visit Mareeta once a year.

If Galzus dies or is not recruited, he will become the Deadlord Bovis.

Galzus has several capped stats, an abnormally high 8 move, 5 movement stars, a solid Follow-up Critical Multiplier of 3, and two deadly skills in the form of Luna and Astra. Even his Magic stat is well above par for his class. He possesses top-quality weapon ranks, and his inventory contains three extremely powerful weapons with which to use them. With such a wide variety of power, he could be considered to be of the Gotoh archetype, and a rare non-magical example, at that. When he joins, he will likely be your strongest fighter, other than Ced.

On top of all of that, Galzus has a stronger-than-normal support with Mareeta, an already extremely potent unit on her own right.

As an enemy, Galzus appears when the player's forces are practically at their weakest, with ludicrously high stats all around. Though it is possible to defeat him by tricking him into capturing an unarmed unit, the player's best recourse is to simply run from him at full speed.

Ending[]

Galzus - Sullied Swordsman of Od (オードの黒剣士, Ōdo no kuro kenshi)
After the liberation of Manster, Galzus simply vanished. There is no further mention of him, good or bad, in any reputable historical source. Perhaps he disappeared into the night, or perhaps his existence was deliberately covered-up. There's no way to know
