Cormag
With no less than twelve original titles in the Fire Emblem franchise, there has been a veritable swarm of fantastic and memorable characters at your disposal. Though many of them have been treated well, becoming staples of the series, others have been quietly and patiently waiting in the wings – and in the case of Cormag, we mean that quite literally.
Hailing from the Grado empire in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Cormag is a stoic wyvern rider that brings his foes to their knees from atop a mighty dragon. On the surface, he may appear to be your average strong, silent type, but he has many more layers beyond that which make him quite endearing. He loves kittens, he loves woodworking, he loves justice, and he loves Adventure Time. We don’t know that last one for certain – we’re going out on a limb here.
Cormag is out for revenge on the people who killed his brother and initially confronts your party as an enemy unit. When he realizes that it was actually the work of his own general, Valter, he defects to join Eirika and Ephraim on their journey. Should you choose to challenge Valter using Cormag, the two will have an epic exchange before trading blows. That would probably be the preferred option, over letting some random like Neimi do the dirty work. Hopefully Cormag’s absence will be coming to an end soon, with Fire Emblem Heroes adding more and more units to its playable roster. Let’s just hope he hasn’t been replaced entirely by more recent dragoons like Gerome, Beruka and the scary booby queen Camilla.
