—Halvan to Orsin.
Halvan is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. He is a member of the Fiana Freeblades, and Orsin's best friend. He resides at Fiana with his sister, Patricia.
Profile
Halvan first appears in Chapter 1, where he joins Leif and Eyvel on their mission to quell Raydrik's invasion of Fiana and save Nanna and Mareeta. Halvan can visit his home in this chapter, where his sister Patricia will gift him an axe that she had obtained from what she describes as "a strange old lady" who had emerged from a lake.
Halvan, along with the rest of the Fiana Freeblades, is later separated from Leif and Eyvel in Chapter 3, as the prince is captured by Raydrik. Vowing to save Leif, Orsin, along with Orsin and Ronan, embark on a quest to Manster, but are captured by Hannibal's patrolling troops when they are found roaming around Manster Castle. The trio regains their freedom at the end of Chapter 7 on Leif's behest.
In Chapter 8, Halvan can speak to Marty to recruit him to Leif's cause. Speaking calmly, he will ask Marty if he truly intends to betray Dagdar and Eyvel, which proves to be more than enough to convince the man to join Leif's army.
Halvan then goes on to continue supporting Leif in his cause to liberate Northern Thracia from the Grannvale Empire. He will return to Fiana thereafter, where he becomes the leader of the village, his wise rule causing it to prosper and flourish.
Personality
Calm and collected, Halvan is able to retain his cool even in the most stressful situations. This can be seen in Chapter 1, where, in contrast to Orsin's insistence to rush out and fight the bandits invading Fiana, he rationally urges him to calm down and reassess the situation.

Halvan is a worse Orsin, sporting no Pugi but, he's still a decent combat unit. Vantage + Brave Axe enables him to deal two powerful blows to the enemy before they can even initiate combat and later on he can do this with the Master Axe which has 1-2 range.
In all, he joins early and is capable of ORKOing many enemies throughout the game. He's not overly flashy but is a good filler unit if one needs more combat units

Ending
Halvan - The Quiet Hero (しずかなる勇者 Shizukanaru yūsha)
Halvan took over Fiana after Eyvel's departure. He proved to be a wise leader, and Fiana developed into a prosperous village that won the envy of those living in the surrounding area.
Trivia
- Halvan's sister gives him the Brave Axe after she claims that a woman near a lake gave it to her. This implies that the woman who gave Halvan's sister the axe is possibly the same one who gave Lex his Brave Axe in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War.
