Appearance(s)

Wretched Altean whelp, stumbling home to the slaughter... What fool throws away a life already so preciously bought? Your mother, Liza, is dead; I killed her myself. Your sister Elice lives only because Gharnef wanted her. So what will become of you, little prince? Will you run for your life a second time? Or will you stay this time to die?
— Morzas

Morzas (Japanese: モーゼス Moses) is a Dolhrian Manakete, and the boss of Chapter 17 of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and its remakes, Mystery of the Emblem Book 1 (where it is Chapter 14) and Shadow Dragon.

Biography

During the War of Shadows, Morzas was the leader of the Dolhrian forces besieging the Altean castle, as well as the killer of Marth's mother, Liza. Marth eventually led the Archanean League into action against Morzas; Morzas was defeated in the ensuing battle, but not before inadvertently hinting to Marth that he would need more than what he currently had in order to defeat Medeus.

Personality

Morzas was a Manakete tyrant of extreme cruelty, who delighted in killing humans over any slight, no matter how minor. Morzas enjoyed the fear he received from humans such as Marth. He was a cruel overseer who took pride in the position Medeus gave to him, and his status as a member of the Basilisk. Like many Manaketes, Morzas looked down on humans as inferior to his kind.
