“	Wanna hire my blade? 10,000 gold. Take it or leave it. ...Right, deal. You ain't gonna be disappointed.	”	— Beowolf upon his recruitment

Beowolf (Japanese: ベオウルフ Beowolf) was a Jugdrali mercenary in a partnership with fellow mercenary Waltz. He and Waltz were hired by Lord Macbeth of Infini in the Agustrian war with Grannvale, but during the battle he was hired by Sigurd's army to side with them in fighting King Chagall and beyond until the Battle of Belhalla. During his lifetime he had at least one child: Fergus; additionally, there is evidence to suggest that he also fathered Diarmuid, the eldest child of Lady Lachesis of Nordion.

Biography

Throughout his mercenary work, Beowolf came into contact with Eldigan, and was personally asked to to look out for and train Lachesis^[1]. Beowolf eventually came to work under the mercenary unit led by Waltz. Following the fall of Heirhein to Sigurd, Macbeth ordered Waltz's mercenary unit to deploy to fight Sigurd, but both Waltz and Beowolf held back until Sigurd's army drew close out of suspicion toward Macbeth.^[2] During the skirmish, Beowolf was approached by one of Sigurd's men and hired into Sigurd's service for 10,000 gold.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

As a unit

Beowolf joins around halfway through the first generation, in the later part of Chapter 2. His wealth at base, high strength, and good base stats aside from resistance and luck make him somewhat easy to train, and he has very good promotion bonuses, with a +6 in speed, a massive +9 in skill, and the skill Adept on promotion. He also has a mount, and both Follow-Up and Accost, which gives him good offense. However, Genealogy's latter half gives him some trouble due to the presence of mages and horse-penalizing terrain: Chapter 4 in particular is difficult for him because of the large number of Pegasus Knights with weapon triangle advantage over him, forests and mountains that are difficult to get past, and several Wind Mages that may easily kill him. Additionally, he cannot reliably one-round bulkier enemies without the Power Ring or a Brave Sword, and as his magic stat will always be 0 he is a poor user of the magic sword.

As a father

Beowolf is one of Lachesis's best potential husbands; they have an event in Chapter 2 that grants the two love points and makes Lachesis stronger, and Lachesis's son, Diarmuid, can inherit Beowolf's swords and Follow-Up. Beowolf can provide Follow-Up to any children he sires, such as Edain's son Lester or Tailtiu's children Arthur and Tine; however, most children have better fathers from whom they can inherit weapons, Holy Blood, or other useful skills.

Personality

Though dedicated to his mercenary work, Beowolf nonetheless was judgemental of his employers and was prepared to abandon their service should he disagree with their cause or motivations.^[3] He had a history of working with Eldigan of Nordion and held a high respect for him, and by Eldigan's request took to looking out for and tutoring his younger sister Lachesis during the Agustrian war.^[1] Even though he and Waltz were close friends and partners, both accepted that one day the two may be enemies to each other in the employ of conflicting parties, which ultimately happened in Agustria.^[3]

Endings

Genealogy of the Holy War

Many heroes lost their lives on this path... / And the names of those heroes who fought alongside Sigurd to the bitter end at Belhalla, whose fates remain unknown...
...
Beowolf, a free-roaming knight...
...

These brave youths fought to change the world for the better, yet now their unfulfilled dreams lie dead with them on the battlefield...
Was their sacrifice in vain? What were they fighting for all along?
And what of the light...?
