'''Valter''' (ヴァルター, ''Varutā'') is a character in {{FE8}}. He is one of [[Grado]]'s Imperial Generals, known as the Moonstone. Having been stripped of his rank before the events of the game, he is reinstated and charged with destroying the [[Sacred Stone]] of [[Renais]]. Valter is a ruthless warrior and a relentless adversary, and destroys anyone threatening his plans. While he appears as a boss in the main story, he can be recruited as a special character in the game's [[Creature Campaign]] feature.

{{sectstub}}
Valter is a prominent antagonist through the first three-fourths of ''The Sacred Stones''. He appears in the [[The Fall of Renais| Prologue]] and wounds [[Seth]] in a cutscene.
 
After this he remains a looming, but not direct, threat for the next 14 chapters. Valter acts in the background, instigating several parties. In particular, he kills fellow imperial general [[Glen]] and commands [[Selena (The Sacred Stones)|Selena]] back to the [[Grado]] capital on treason charges.<ref>{{cite|Ah, Selena. You're to return to the capital immediately. Duessel is no longer your concern. His Majesty has declared you untrustworthy. I've been sent here to relieve you of command.|Valter to [[Selena (The Sacred Stones)|Selena]]|The Sacred Stones}}</ref>
 
Finally, he appears in [[Scorched Sand|Chapter&nbsp;15]] as one of the two [[boss]]es of the chapter, alongside [[Caellach]]. Along with Caellach he is killed by Eirika and Ephraim's combined forces.
 
In the [[Creature Campaign]] Valter can be recruited as a bonus unit. In this appearance, and like all other Creature Campaign characters, he has no dialogue or [[support conversation]]s with other characters.

==Personality and character==
==Personality==
{{sectstub}}
Valter is a cruel, violent man in Grado's army. He eagerly seeks out violence at any available opportunity, even blatantly stating that he wished for endless war after he murders [[Glen]].<ref>{{cite|Heh heh... This is merely the beginning. Endless battle, war without end... Heh heh... ha hahahahahaha!|Valter, after killing [[Glen]]|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> He also has an expressed interest in 'taming' Eirika, and seeks to break her and make her his.<ref>{{cite|Yes, resist. It's much more fun for me that way. Come, Eirika. I should like to tame you.|Valter to Eirika|The Sacred Stones}}</ref>
 
However, his extreme tendencies do have a source. [[Duessel]] mentions to [[Cormag]] an incident with Valter and a [[Cursed Lance|cursed lance]]. Duessel states that Valter, while not a 'gentle lamb', was not an unreasonably violent madman before using the lance. Valter's newfound bloodlust had him exiled from Grado entirely,<ref>{{cite|Heh heh... We were a grand trio–the Imperial Three: [[Glen|You]], Duessel, and me. But my place among you was stolen, and I was exiled from Grado.|Valter to [[Glen]]|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> further fueling Valter's bloodlust with hatred, causing him to hold a grudge against Glen and Grado's old command as a whole.<ref>{{cite|Heh heh... heh heh heh... After my fall from glory, only desire kept me alive. Desire for revenge. My hatred burned so fierce that I was only barely able to keep my sanity. That hatred keeps me warm still today. Oh, how it burns...|Valter to [[Glen]]|The Sacred Stones}}</ref>
