“ | I want to move up to the front line! I doubt I'd learn a whole lot from you, but I'll do anything to avoid getting castle duty! | ” | — Dalvin, to Tristan |

Dalvin (Japanese: ロドルバン Roddlevan) is an Isaachian warrior, the twin brother of Creidne and a member of Prince Shannan's anti-Grannvale resistance army at Tirnanog. When Tirnanog was beseiged by the Dozel occupation army, he set out with Seliph and his sister to repel them and free Isaach, initiating Seliph's liberation war.
Dalvin is Scáthach's substitute character, filling his role in the story and gameplay if Ayra died or failed to be married in the course of the first generation.

Role
While scouting, Dalvin observed the approach of King Danann's Grannvale forces toward Tirnanog and reported back this news, observing that it had been discovered as the hideout of Shannan's rebellion. On Shannan's orders in lieu of his absence, he strongly advised caution until such a time as Shannan and Oifey returned, but was overruled by Creidne and Seliph's insistence, and so departed with the two and Lana to take on Grannvale.

Personality and character
According to Seliph and Creidne, under most circumstances Dalvin is hot-headed and eager when it comes to battle; however, this is balanced and sometimes outweighed by his sense of duty. To this end, when both Creidne and Seliph were calling for departing to respond to the impending Grannvale assault on Tirnanog, he was uncharacteristically reluctant to allow them to just leap into battle, as Shannan had tasked him with protecting Seliph in his absence.[1] He tries to act friendly to Tristan, but his actions consistently annoy the latter, causing Tristan to act hostile and disinterested when Dalvin attempts to converse; Roddelvan appears to be somewhat thoughtless in his comments about Tristan.[2]

Tristan: Oh... it's you. What?
Dalvin: Hey, show a guy a little respect, would ya? Anyway, I was just thinking. Do you think we're holding Sir Seliph back any?
Tristan: We? Don't you mean YOU? I'm holding up my own out here.
Dalvin: Is that so? Alright, let me hear what you've done so far.
Tristan: Ah, well... You know, I've... um...
Dalvin: See there? That's just what I'm saying. You can't think of anything, can ya?
Tristan: Alright, alright! So what's your point?
Dalvin: Let's get a little dueling practice in. I want to move up to the front line! I doubt I'd learn a whole lot from you, but I'll do anything to avoid getting castle duty!
Tristan: You know you've got a real crappy way of asking someone a favour? Just forget it.
Dalvin: Oh, c'mon! Look... Would you pretty please be my sparring partner with sugar on top? How about that!?
Tristan: Where the hell do you get off!? Okay, I'll fight you... only to shut you up! You ready?" — Dalvin and Tristan, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
