“ | Pablo, you mad, reckless imbecile... If Prince Innes dies here, the bond between Carcino and Frelia is sundered forever. Carcino will be nothing more than a vassal paying tribute to Grado... | ” | — Klimt |

Klimt (Japanese: クリムト, Klimt) is a member of Carcino's Council of Elders. During the War of the Stones he was at odds with fellow councilman Pablo on which side to take during the war.
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Role
Klimt is a minor character only appearing in Eirika's route. He is first mentioned in the opening narration for Chapter 9: Distant Blade, stating that Carcino is an ally of Frelia.[1]
He later makes an in-person appearance in Chapter 10: Revolt at Carcino hiding from Pablo. Pablo wants Carcino in Grado's good graces and is hunting down members of Carcino's council that don't want to side with Grado. Near his hiding place Pablo's hired mercenary forces are hunting Prince Innes, who is hiding in a fort at Teraz Plateau. After Eirika rescues Innes and chases off Pablo, Klimt comes out of hiding and greets them, though Innes at first assumes Klimt agrees with Carcino's actions.[2] After his quick introduction he explains the split interests of Carcino's council to Eirika and Innes.[3] Being free of Pablo's hunting, Klimt departs for Frelia to meet with King Hayden and to explain the situation. This is Klimt's first and last in-person appearance. He is mentioned later in Chapter 13: Hamill Canyon, aiding Frelia's forces against Pablo's in an unspecified manner.[4]

Personality and character

Though, in contrast to Pablo, he thinks of Carcino's long term interests, not wishing for the young country to be ruled over by Grado for the foreseeable future. He refused Pablo's bribes to side with Grado, standing by his own ideas.
Trivia

Carcino is a young nation ruled by a council of merchants, and it is an ally of Frelia. Carcino council leader Klimt, a staunch opponent of Grado's imperialistic actions, has pledged Carcino's support to Frelia in this conflict.

Eirika:Who are you?”
Klimt: Oh, where are my manners? I am a member of Carcino's Council of Elders. My name is Klimt.
Eirika: A council member?
Innes: So you're one of the traitors who ordered–
Klimt: P-please, please! I have no intention of opposing you or quarreling with you.

As you know, Carcino has no king but is ruled by a council. But now the council has broken apart into factions mired in discord...
Eirika: Factions... You're saying that the whole of Carcino has not betrayed Frelia?
Klimt: Correct. The moderate factions prefer to preserve our alliance with Frelia. Pablo's faction wishes to endear us to Grado, to surrender us to their armies. Once Pablo realized he couldn't ply us with brides, he began to have us assassinated. Those of us who remain have taken refuge underground. We oppose him where we can. If you hadn't shown up, I'm not certain I would still be breathing..." — Klimt to Eirika and Innes, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones - ↑ "Yes, Your Highness! Frelia has invaded Carcino and engaged the traitor Pablo's mercenary army. With aid from the elder Klimt, we are crushing the foe where we find them.
