Appearance(s)

Gazzak (Japanese: ガザック Gazak) is the leader of a band of pirates operating in Galder Harbor. During the War of Shadows, he led his band from Galder Harbor to invade Talys and its castle, storming the gates, cutting down everyone in their path and kidnapping its king Mostyn; these actions led to Prince Marth of Altea departing to fight against Gazzak's forces, reach Gazzak's stronghold and defeat him.

Gazzak is a boss in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and its remakes. He is notable for being the very first boss in the history of the Fire Emblem series.

Personality

As a minor boss, Gazzak is not very developed, but his dialogue shows him as boastful on the field of battle and disdainful of Altea's remnant forces.

In the anime, Gazzak is shown as willing to take hostages to gain the advantage.
