Alm

Alm is an Einherjar from Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria. He is a Sorcerer and can be found in the Serdberg Mountain Ruins.

The second prince of the Principality of Paltierre, which once ruled in the northeastern region of the continent, and brother of future King Cyphel. Alm was the son of Dragon Scale Sigmund, one of the Seventeen Commanders of Camille. His eyes were like his father's - similar to those of a dragon. He was renowned for his vast knowledge of magic. When his brother and father left for the mainland in 581 C.C. for the Year-Long War, he stayed to keep the country in order. During the Mist of Niflheim that began in 599 C.C., he commanded a regiment and fought off the undead invading the country. In one of the ensuing battles, he was attacked and killed by the Dragon King of the Underworld, thus signing the end of Paltierre, as he was its last remaining heir.

Alm always felt second best. He did not think very highly of his brother Cyphel or of his wife, Phyress. When Chrystie was born, his dislike for her parents also transferred to her, especially after she abandoned her family to follow Seluvia. He knew that his father and brother were more popular than him and felt very disappointed that they got the honours of battle instead of him during the Year-Long War, because he felt that he was more capable than them. He thus saw the Mist of Niflheim as his best chance to prove his valour. He banished as many undead as he could, sometimes even going so far as to summon them himself in order to improve his score. He thus earned himself a place as an Einherjar and feels very proud of this. However, he regrets that he could not prevent the downfall of his country. He is notably very bitter about the fact that this allowed Dipan to gain power and wonders what his efforts were for.
