Appearance(s)

Welcome home, Prince Albein. I am Massena, captain of Emperor Rudolf’s imperial guard. His Excellency told me everything before facing you in battle. Afterward, I gathered the remnants of his forces and awaited your arrival.
— Massena

Massena (Japanese: マッセナ Massena) is a Rigelian commander appearing in Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. He was very close to Rudolf. He appears as an NPC in Gaiden's final Act.

Fire Emblem Gaiden

Role

Massena appears in Rigel Castle after Alm defeats Rudolf, informing Alm that the remaining soldiers are waiting to meet him.

Despite being a member of Rudolf's guard, he is never faced in combat.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Role

Massena appears in the end of Act 1 in Rigel Castle, along Rudolf and Jedah. Massena criticizes Jedah's arrogantness insisting that his arcanists would win against the Deliverance unlike Berkut's army.[2]

In Acts 4 and 5, as in Gaiden, Massena appears in Rigel Castle after Alm defeats Rudolf, informing Alm that the remaining soldiers are waiting to meet him. He explains that Rudolf always loved Berkut, but was forced to keep him in the dark for the sake of his plan to save Valentia.

Personality

As with many characters in Gaiden, he has minimal dialogue, but Massena seems to be a loyal Rigelian knight.
