Darros

Darros (ダロス, Daros, Daross in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryu to Hikari no Tsurugi, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, and Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyū~. He is a member of the Galder Pirates, tired of his job, who was persuaded by Marth to join his entourage. He was omitted in Mystery of the Emblem, but returned in Shadow Dragon.

To recruit, command Marth to talk to him. This can also be vice-versa; if Marth is within Darros's range, he will automatically talk to Marth, also, he does not attack any friendly units, thus (if he is not needed) a useful tactic would be to ignore him and finish up between most and all of chapter 2, having Marth attend to other business. Darros would follow Marth without enemy units attacking him, staying safe until he caught up with Marth. However, due to Darros' high attack, he is usually valuable for fighting the enemy units in the chapter; he is not a fragile unit, though on harder modes he is vulnerable to getting doubled due to his Steel Axe weighing him down by 4 AS.
