Waltz (Japanese: ヴォルツ Waltz) is one of the sub-bosses of Chapter 2 of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and a close friend of Beowolf.

Biography

Following the fall of Heirhein to Sigurd, Macbeth ordered Waltz's mercenary unit to deploy to fight Sigurd, but both Waltz and Beowolf held back until Sigurd's army drew close out of suspicion toward Macbeth.[1] During the skirmish, Waltz decided to fight Sigurd's forces as they drew close to Infini while Beowolf left to join Sigurd's forces; Waltz and his unit ultimately fell against Sigurd's army in the battle.

Other appearances

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War (Fujimori manga)

Waltz listens to Macbeth's orders.

Waltz has a minor role in Fujimori Nuttsu's Genealogy of the Holy War manga, which adapts the events of the first generation of the game in a more comedic manner. Similarly to Chapter 2 of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, after Sigurd had invaded Agustria, Macbeth ordered Waltz's mercenary band to attack Sigurd's army while they were distracted defending the nearby villages from the bandits pillaging them, which Macbeth had Waltz gather.

En route to Sigurd's army, Waltz mentioned to Beowolf that Princess Lachesis had joined Sigurd's army, causing Beowolf to feel conflicted due to his friendship with Eldigan; Waltz, unaware of this, thought that Beowolf was feeling down because they were essentially helping bandits raid villages and sympathized with him, but acknowledged that they were mercenaries and they need to execute their jobs as they had been paid. Beowolf, realizing that he had already received his payment from Macbeth, happily proceeded to abandon Waltz's mercenary band to join Sigurd's army, confusing Waltz. The actual battle between Waltz's mercenary band and Sigurd's army is not shown, and it is unknown if he perished in the fight.

    Beowolf: Yeah, I ain't up for this at all, Waltz. That Macbeth swine really rubs me the wrong way. I'm this close to just walking off the job.

  2. "Waltz: Well, do as you see fit. As a mercenary you're free to work for whomever you please. Strange how one day we're fighting side by side... the next day who knows.
    Beowolf: Sure is. I just hope I don't gotta face you ever. I wouldn't stand a chance.
