“	Heh. Even Eliwood, the greatest knight in Lycia, is no match for an illness, it seems.	”	— Damas

Damas (Japanese: ダマス Damasu) is the leader of a group of bandits from Mount Bolm during the onset of the Disturbance of Bern. A lowly bandit from Lycia, he and his band decide to take advantage of Pherae's low defenses, attacking the castle and the adjacent villages.

He manages to strike a village before Roy's group arrives; however, instead of running away, Damas refuses to pass up this opportunity of making gold, and orders his men to attack the reinforcements; resulting in his defeat by Roy's forces.

Trivia

Screenshot from a July 2001 Famitsu preview

• Damas has an unused color scheme for his battle sprites that is never seen in normal gameplay, as it is incorrectly assigned to be used as a promoted unit.
• A prerelease screenshot showed that Damas was originally in the Brigand class, before it was changed to the Fighter class in the final game.
