Valter

Valter is a boss character from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Also known as the Moonstone, he is one of the strongest generals in Grado's Imperial army, both in the past and the present.

Profile: Valter is a sadistic Wyvern Knight who wields his Lance with unsurpassed skill and strength. He was part of the Imperial Three alongside Duessel and Glen; however, he was eventually fired by the Emperor for the mistreatment of innocents and slaughtering of surrendered opponents. When Vigarde was revived by the Dark Stone, Lyon reinstated him as a general alongside Caellach and Riev.

The support conversations with Duessel and Cormag reveal that Valter was a more "modest" man (as Duessel puts it), still arrogant, but not as psychotic as he came to be. However, in an unspecified battle, Valter broke his lance and somehow managed to acquire Duessel's cursed lance that would only be used when madness ruled the world. When Duessel realized that Valter had taken the lance, he snatched it from his arms, but it was too late, as Valter's mentality was completely destroyed with a significantly increased desire for bloodshed and slaughter.

Valter is present during the siege of Castle Renais, in which he and 4 Wyvern Rider sentries patrolled the area. He spots Eirika and Seth escaping from the castle. He then proceeds to attack Seth, giving him a serious wound on his arm. Seth and Eirika then run to the Renais-Frelia border area, where he allowed them to leave so he could savor the "hunt".

In Chapter 5x, Valter is seen speaking with his adjutant Tirado. Tirado has a plan to capture Ephraim; leave the castle lightly guarded with a few soldiers, and surround them when he and his band seize the castle. Valter allows Tirado to carry this plan out, and when the rebels seize the castle, the trap has already been sprung. Valter confronts Ephraim and demands him to "grovel" like a dog to be spared. Much to his surprise and anger, Ephraim and his men break out of the trap.

In Ephraim's route Valter is seen at Bethroen, where he has Selena return to the capital after relaying news that the Emperor suspects her of treason. Mildly annoyed that they haven't started the battle yet, he leaves the Ranger Beran to finish Duessel and his group off before heading towards Carcino, where he kills Glen.

In Eirika's route Valter confronts Glen, accusing him of being a traitor after the latter lets Eirika and Innes pass to Caer Pelyn. Valter states that he opposes peace and wants an endless war, dueling and killing Glen. He later has his two accompanying soldiers chase after Glen's wyvern to prevent it from alerting Cormag of his treachery. Valter brings Glen's mangled corpse to Cormag and states that Eirika killed him. An enraged Cormag heads to Hamill Canyon to avenge his brother. However, upon seeing that Eirika is not who Valter portrayed her as, Cormag defects and joins her group so that he may kill Valter.

Valter is later seen in the Jehanna plains where he and Caellach attempt to kill the Renais siblings.

On Eirika's route, should Cormag confront Valter, Valter taunts him, believing him to be just as weak as his brother. On Ephraim's route, Valter does not mention killing Glen, instead simply accusing Cormag of being a traitor. Regardless, he falls in the ensuing battle.

In the Creature Campaign, Valter is unlocked by beating the seventh floor of the Lagdou Ruins.

Other Information: The imperial army of Grado is the most powerful in all of Magvel, and it’s led by a group of six mighty generals. Today, I’ll be introducing you to one of their number Valter, also known as the Moonstone!

A wyvern knight, Valter leads his men into battles across the continent. He’s a cruel and vicious man who seems to truly relish in war and bloodshed.

He wasn’t always like that, though—he was driven mad by the powers of a cursed lance. From the moment he laid hands on it, no one was spared from his cruelty; not even the weak and defenseless.

Having succumbed to the curse, Valter was denied an honorable path in life.

Appearance Description:

A composed and calculating man whose calm smile masks an ambitious and ruthless nature. He presents himself with refined manners and quiet confidence, speaking with measured authority that naturally commands attention. Although outwardly courteous and dignified, every subtle glance and carefully chosen word suggests a strategist who is constantly weighing advantages and manipulating situations to his benefit. His presence is that of a seasoned noble whose greatest weapon is often his intellect rather than his sword.

He possesses a tall, broad-shouldered physique with the powerful build of an experienced knight. Years of military service have given him a muscular frame capable of bearing heavy armor with ease, while his upright posture and disciplined movements reflect the confidence of someone accustomed to leading armies. Even standing still, he exudes quiet authority and unwavering composure.

His skin is fair with a slightly weathered complexion that hints at years spent both on the battlefield and in positions of command. Fine lines around his eyes subtly reveal maturity without diminishing his commanding appearance.

His face is long and distinguished, featuring a strong jawline, pronounced cheekbones, and refined features that project both nobility and confidence. A composed smile frequently rests upon his lips, though it rarely reaches his eyes, lending his expression an unsettling sense of calculated insincerity. His mature appearance gives him the air of an experienced commander who has witnessed countless battles.

His eyes are teal, carrying a calm yet penetrating gaze that seems capable of reading the intentions of everyone around him. Though often relaxed, they possess a quiet sharpness that reflects remarkable intelligence and an unwavering determination to achieve his goals.

His long teal hair flows well past his shoulders in thick, wavy locks that cascade freely down his back. Loose strands frame his face while the rest billows naturally around him, giving him an elegant yet commanding silhouette. The flowing hairstyle contrasts with the rigid formality of his armor, adding an aristocratic refinement to his appearance.

He wears a full suit of polished violet plate armor accented with ornate gold trim that emphasizes both prestige and military rank. The breastplate is sculpted with elegant sweeping lines, while broad pauldrons reinforce his imposing silhouette without appearing excessively bulky. The craftsmanship suggests equipment befitting a high-ranking general or noble commander.

Beneath the armor, dark burgundy garments cover his torso and upper legs, providing subtle contrast against the polished metal plates while allowing comfortable movement during battle. Matching black gloves protect his hands without diminishing his dexterity.

Flowing from his shoulders is a long forest-green cloak lined with darker fabric along its interior. The heavy mantle drapes gracefully behind him, adding dramatic movement whenever he walks and reinforcing the regal image of a commander leading his forces into battle. Fine gold embroidery decorates portions of the cloak's edges, subtly reflecting his noble status.

His waist and hips are protected by layered armored faulds trimmed in gold, seamlessly transitioning into fitted dark trousers that preserve both mobility and protection. The carefully balanced armor maintains an elegant silhouette while remaining fully practical for combat.

His legs are encased in matching violet greaves decorated with understated sculpted detailing that mirrors the ornate design of the rest of the armor. Sturdy armored boots complete the ensemble, providing both protection and stability without sacrificing the outfit's refined aesthetic.

The overall color palette of deep violet, forest green, burgundy, gold, and teal creates an imposing yet aristocratic appearance that reflects both military authority and noble prestige. Altogether, he gives the impression of a brilliant but morally ambiguous commander—charismatic, intelligent, and relentlessly ambitious, someone whose courteous smile conceals a calculating mind always searching for the next opportunity to secure victory through strategy, influence, or force.

The Sacred Stones takes place on the continent of Magvel. It is home to six nation-states, with each nation having its own unique culture and variant governments ranging from monarchies to a democratic-republic:

Renais: The kingdom of Renais is ruled by Fado, the peerless Warrior King. It is the home of the twin lords Ephraim and Eirika. Frelia: The kingdom of Frelia is ruled by Hayden, the venerable Sage King and the father of the Pegasus Knight Tana and the Sniper Innes. Frelia is also home to pegasi which are trained for military purposes. Jehanna: The kingdom of Jehanna is ruled by Ismaire, the Queen of the White Dunes. Her son is Joshua, the Myrmidon. Since the nation exists mostly in the desert, there seems to be a heavy focus on being a mercenary in order to earn your daily bread. Rausten: The theocracy of Rausten is ruled by Mansel, the Divine Emperor, wherein he claims to be a descendant of the saintly Latona. His heir is his niece L'Arachel, the Troubadour. It was founded by the saintly Latona, one of the Five Heroes. Grado: The Grado Empire is ruled by Vigarde, the Silent Emperor. His son, the Necromancer Lyon, is a good friend of Ephraim and Eirika, who are appalled and confused by Grado's sudden betrayal. Grado is the largest country of Magvel and its eponymous founder, Grado, was the leader of the Five Heroes who stood against the Demon King. It is the main antagonistic country in the game. Carcino: The emerging mercantile republic of Carcino is governed by a council of elders, and, unlike the other nations of Magvel, is more of a democratic-republic nation than a monarchy or theocracy. It was established more recently than the other nations and is the only nation not founded by one of the Five Heroes.
