Appearance(s)

...They are impressive, though, aren't they? My whiskers? Ha ha! I've not shaved since my very first battle. And have I ever lost? No! Not even once! Ergo, my moustache makes me invincible. It's science, my boy, science!
— Cervantes, boasting about his mustache to a Soldier.

Cervantes (セルバンテス Cervantes) is a Valmese general and the boss of Chapter 16 of Fire Emblem Awakening. He also serves as a mini-boss in Chapter 20. Cervantes is a man especially proud of his facial hair, considering it a good-luck charm.

Cervantes is first seen leading a band charged with blocking the only route to the top of the Mila Tree. Having been warned by Excellus about the arrival of Chrom and the Shepherds, he sets about to defend the area. Cervantes is defeated here, but eventually makes his way back to Valm Castle where he, Excellus, and Walhart make a last stand against the Shepherds, only to be defeated again.

Fighting Cervantes in Chapter 20 is optional; his defeat is not required in order to clear that chapter.
