—Hannibal
Hannibal (ハンニバル Hannibaru) is a character from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. He is known as "The Shield of Thracia", and he is the foster father of Corpul. Having spent his entire adulthood on the battlefield, Hannibal is considered one of Thracia's top generals. He fights against his will in Chapter 9 of Genealogy of the Holy War after Travant, his king, takes his foster son hostage to ensure Hannibal's loyalty. After the liberation wars end, Hannibal is promoted to a higher rank in the army of the New Kingdom of Thracia. In Thracia 776, he makes two appearances, one where he is shown to believe Raydrik is up to something, and another when he is talking to Leif, and gives him access to his mansion.

Overview
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 he loses this usefulness after said chapter's end.
Unlike the early characters Johan/Johalva, Hannibal's powerful army will not become Ally Units and will simply disappear without explanation upon his recruitment.
Conversations
In Chapter 9, if Corpul/Sharlow speaks to Hannibal, he will be recruited into the army.
In Chapter 9, after Grutia Castle is captured, position Sharlow adjacent to Hannibal to trigger a conversation. This conversation will essentially allow Sharlow to obtain the Berserk Staff.
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".
