“ | Munster's army is headed here!? Raydrik...do you take me for a fool? Troops! Dispatch! Show those fools from Munster the wrath of the Armor Knights of Thracia! | ” | — Hannibal |
---|
Hannibal (Japanese: ハンニバル Hannibal) is a prominent and renowned Thracian general, widely known as the "Shield of Thracia". A powerful and devoted warrior and the leader of a batallion of armored knights, his sense of honor and justice caused him to question the deceitful motives and actions of Thracia's King Travant, who held his adoptive son Coirpre hostage to ensure Hannibal's co-operation against Seliph's liberation army; when Seliph freed Coirpre from captivity in the clash with Thracia, Hannibal turned on Thracia and joined Coirpre in Seliph's service. At the conclusion of the liberation war, Hannibal entered the service of the unified New Kingdom of Thracia under Leif.
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Role
In the aftermath of the loss of Meath to Seliph's liberation army, Travant travelled to Kapathogia Castle, where Hannibal was stationed, in order to ensure his loyalty in the oncoming clash with the liberation force. When Hannibal questioned the orders and threatened to turn on him, Travant took Coirpre* hostage to force Hannibal to obey. Soon after, the fight with Seliph's army began in earnest, and Hannibal chose to stay his hand and observe until the enemy approached, at which point he ordered a charge against them. After Seliph freed Coirpre from Kapathogia, Coirpre convinced Hannibal to turn on Travant and accompany him in joining Seliph, fighting for the wishes of the people of Thracia rather than for their king's ill means.

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776
Role
Hannibal was stationed at Meath Castle when Leif and the Magi, having escaped imprisonment in Munster, fled in its direction. He received a report that in a brief absence, four "bandits" (actually Finn, Osian, Halvan and Ronan) had been imprisoned, but was more concerned by his suspicions about Munster's behaviour in the north. Upon receiving word of the Munster army led by Eisenau marching toward Meath (unaware of Leif's presence), he and a squad of armored knights sortied in defense of Meath. After the battle, Leif (assuming a false identity, "Lugh Faris", though Hannibal was entirely aware of his identity) explained his plight, released Leif's captured friends and offered Leif assistance in the form of Carrion escorting him to his western mansion.

Hannibal and a squad of four Armored Lances and five Armored Swords emerge from Meath Castle as neutral units after any one allied unit (excluding Leif) escapes the map, if Eisenau has not been defeated yet.
Personality and character
Hannibal is an honorable man; though he takes his role as a knight seriously and respects his lieges, he will nonetheless question orders and methodologies he does not feel to be wise,[1] to the point of willingly turning on Travant in objection to the war with Seliph, which he (correctly) viewed as futile and harmful to Thracia's odds of survival. He bears none of the ill will or aggression toward the Munster District harbored by Travant, and secretly housed a number of refugee Leonster knights led by Dryas in his mansion.[2] He devoted his life in full to the pursuit of his military career, and as such never married;[3] he did, however, adopt Coirpre from an orphanage in Dahna and considers him to be just as important as any biological child could be.[4]
