“	I'm counting on you to save Zofia.	”	— Clive, to Alm

Clive (Japanese: クレーベ Clerbe) is the former leader of the Zofian resistance against the Rigel invasion and Dozer's coup d'etat, and the elder brother of fellow knight Clair. When Alm came in Mycen's stead to join the liberation, Clive ceded leadership of the army to Alm's command instead.

Fire Emblem Gaiden

Role

When Alm and his group arrived at the resistance's headquarters within a shrine, Clive requested that Alm take over as its leader and joined his group, fighting in the remainder of the war with Rigel.
