Having spent his entire adulthood on the battlefield, Hannibal is considered to be one of Thracia's top generals. Some time before the events of ''Thracia 776'', he found [[Carrion]] and his mother, both of whom he invited to live in his mansion. When Leif flees to Thracia after escaping from [[Manster]], Hannibal decides to provide some assistance to him. He also gives Leif access to his mansion, where [[Dorias]], [[Selfina]], and several of their inexperienced knights are residing.

In ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', Hannibal speaks out against [[Travant]]'s decision to engage [[Seliph]]'s liberation army in battle because only a cease-fire would give Thracia the time to strengthen internally. He also opposes Travant's alliance with the [[Grannvale]] Empire. In [[For Whose Sake|Chapter 9]], he is forced to fight against his will after Travant takes Coirpre as a hostage to ensure his loyalty. However, he enlists in Seliph's army following Travant's death and aids in fighting against the Grannvale Empire.

====Overview====

====Overall====
  +
{{Subjective}}
Being a [[General]] is a major down factor, as the low movement of this class essentially hampers Hannibal's mobility as a unit. Combined with the fact that he lacks the [[Pursuit]] skill and has lackluster stat growths, Hannibal is thus considered to be one of the worst units of the game. He is probably only useful for guarding one of the castles captured in Chapter 9 against [[Areone]]'s final assault, but is loses this usefulness after said chapter's end.
 
  +
Despite having perhaps the most difficult and convoluted recruitment requirements, Hannibal is among the least useful units in ''Genealogy of the Holy War''. He comes to you very late in the game as a level 20 [[Pre-Promoted]] [[General]] with the worst overall growths of any second generation unit (and tied for worst in the whole game with [[Sylvia]] and [[Erinys]]). But with overall good base stats he can pull his weight if needed.
   
  +
While he comes with very respectable base stats for an [[Armor]]/General (being statistically superior to [[Arden]] in everything but [[Strength]], and in particular having high [[Skill]] and [[Speed (stat)|Speed]] for his class), he is held back considerably by crippling weaknesses. His very low [[Movement]] makes it essentially impossible for him to fill any role beyond defending castles. Other than [[Arion]]'s multi-pronged assault at the end of Chapter 9, no castles really need a dedicated guard. His lack of [[Pursuit]] gives him poor overall offense, and it is not really worth it to give him the [[Pursuit Ring]] as he is unlikely to even see combat. He does have [[Adept]] to improve his combat capability, but he has a roughly 30% chance to activate it if he is wielding a [[Sword]]. He is unlikely to be killing any late game units, particularly considering the very next chapter (and the rest of the game) features many [[Mage]]-type units that will decimate Hannibal.
Unlike the early characters [[Johan]]/[[Johalva]], Hannibal's powerful army will not become [[Ally Unit]]s and will simply disappear without explanation upon his recruitment.
 
  +
  +
Hannibal is not necessarily awful, but in an army full of carefully bred war machines wielding Holy Weapons, Hannibal just does not come close to measuring up and you will likely have trouble finding any use for him. That being said, his joining chapter does feature one situation where he can come in handy: namely, when [[Arion]] calls upon a squadron of wyverns and attacks several castles. Hannibal's absurd defense, proficiency with javelins, Wing Clipper, and lack of utility in other parts of the battlefield makes him a decent guard.

Your Majesty, how many times must I tell you? This battle is futile. Only a cease-fire with the liberation army will allow us the time to strengthen internally. Siding with the empire was an absurd idea. And the populace is now in jeopardy as a result!”
—Hannibal, in a conversation with Travant in Genealogy of the Holy War

Hannibal is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War who has minor appearances in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. He is a loyal general known as "The Shield of Thracia" and the adoptive father of Coirpre/Charlot.

Profile

Having spent his entire adulthood on the battlefield, Hannibal is considered to be one of Thracia's top generals. Some time before the events of Thracia 776, he found Carrion and his mother, both of whom he invited to live in his mansion. When Leif flees to Thracia after escaping from Manster, Hannibal decides to provide some assistance to him. He also gives Leif access to his mansion, where Dorias, Selfina, and several of their inexperienced knights are residing.

In Genealogy of the Holy War, Hannibal speaks out against Travant's decision to engage Seliph's liberation army in battle because only a cease-fire would give Thracia the time to strengthen internally. He also opposes Travant's alliance with the Grannvale Empire. In Chapter 9, he is forced to fight against his will after Travant takes Coirpre as a hostage to ensure his loyalty. However, he enlists in Seliph's army following Travant's death and aids in fighting against the Grannvale Empire.

After the liberation war ends, Hannibal is promoted to a higher rank in the army of the New Kingdom of Thracia.

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Despite having perhaps the most difficult and convoluted recruitment requirements, Hannibal is among the least useful units in Genealogy of the Holy War. He comes to you very late in the game as a level 20 Pre-Promoted General with the worst overall growths of any second generation unit (and tied for worst in the whole game with Sylvia and Erinys). But with overall good base stats he can pull his weight if needed.

While he comes with very respectable base stats for an Armor/General (being statistically superior to Arden in everything but Strength, and in particular having high Skill and Speed for his class), he is held back considerably by crippling weaknesses. His very low Movement makes it essentially impossible for him to fill any role beyond defending castles. Other than Arion's multi-pronged assault at the end of Chapter 9, no castles really need a dedicated guard. His lack of Pursuit gives him poor overall offense, and it is not really worth it to give him the Pursuit Ring as he is unlikely to even see combat. He does have Adept to improve his combat capability, but he has a roughly 30% chance to activate it if he is wielding a Sword. He is unlikely to be killing any late game units, particularly considering the very next chapter (and the rest of the game) features many Mage-type units that will decimate Hannibal.

Hannibal is not necessarily awful, but in an army full of carefully bred war machines wielding Holy Weapons, Hannibal just does not come close to measuring up and you will likely have trouble finding any use for him. That being said, his joining chapter does feature one situation where he can come in handy: namely, when Arion calls upon a squadron of wyverns and attacks several castles. Hannibal's absurd defense, proficiency with javelins, Wing Clipper, and lack of utility in other parts of the battlefield makes him a decent guard.

Unlike Iuchar and Iucharba, Hannibal's army will not become Ally Units and will simply disappear upon his recruitment, including the General guarding Kapathogia Castle, Kanatz.

Conversations

In Chapter 9, if Coirpre/Charlot speaks to Hannibal, he will be recruited into the army.

In Chapter 9, after Grutia Castle is captured, position Charlot adjacent to Hannibal to trigger a conversation. This conversation will essentially allow Charlot to obtain the Berserk.

In Chapter 9, Seliph may speak to Hannibal, but nothing will result of it.

In Chapter 9, if Hannibal speaks to Altena, she will gain three points of HP.

Love

Hannibal is unable to fall in love with any of the other characters, as he is, in the words of a random villager, "married to Thracia".
