Background:
Fire Emblem Wiki,
Wikipedia page Personality:
One look at Cormag, and you're going to see that he's a tough, sturdy, and rather scary looking man. A lot of this actually rings true, if you so happen to find him on the battlefield. He is a ferocious and deadly warrior of tremendous skill. He had been raised to be a soldier since he was little, it's only natural that he would be powerful and commanding on the battlefield. He's a soldier, which means that he realizes that he has duty and responsibility that comes along with the job. Meaning that he sticks with duty and responsibility as some fairly important values to him.
They only fall short of his moral code and great personal sense of justice. For a soldier, questioning what you are told is not seen, less you want to be branded a traitor. Yet it's something that Cormag does, having seen from the beginning that this war was rather foolish and completely unnecessary. He and Glen had always seen it that way, yet they decided to carry out their duties like they properly should. After all, the job is a job- and jobs aren't always pleasant. Eventually, him being lead to do what was right completely shattered his sense of duty and he joined the opposing army. In one path he's lead to this by refusing to assassinate a high ranking officer, having doubted that the other could have ever done treason against the Grado Empire.
When you look at him, it's not hard to understand why he would have possibly defected from his country. Yes, he was a soldier, yes, they're who he served. It's a question of doing wrong or right, and when he looked at the country he loved? It didn't look right. He's a man who has a tremendous amount of respect for not a lot of things, but for when he does? It certainly counts. He has pride and devotion to his country, and that's why he left, for the best actions were to stop this stupid war. It's shown on how many people offer to have him join their respective armies. He politely refuses though. He's stuck with one country for his life so far, and he wouldn't change it very soon. All that he wants to see is his homeland returned to its former glory and splendour. In many support conversations he's musing of him and a group of other Grado soldiers being one the ones to reform the land.
Respect is also seen through with how he treats people. His brother, Glen, had always been with him. Cormag had a deep connection with him, and looked up to him in many ways. The king had taken him in and gave him a huge opportunity, thus being looked up to as well. People of great status and those who had helped him always had his complete trust. Compared to those who didn't- they found themselves on the wrong end of his Lance. Cormag promises the murderer of his brother that they will have a slow and painful death by his hand. He was hellbent on revenge and finding out who it was, showing how loyal and dedicated he really was to his brother. As with every other person, how you treat them is going to have a huge impact on how they treat you.
Harsh, rough, and downright brutal at times, it isn't to say that he's always like this. No, should you find the window to his soul, you'll find a rather gentle man. It's probable that he can be misunderstood if given the chance. It's just that he cares, he cares about a lot of things but it isn't always easy to express that. When you see a soldier, are you really going to think about how he truly has bundles of pride into his thoughts and beliefs? No, you're going to think of him as nothing but a killing machine, a tool and servant of war. He's far from it though. He even brings a cleric a kitten in hopes that she would heal it, showing a completely different side to him while starting a new friendship.
Looking at the social standpoint, he can be rough and critical with his words at times. However, unlike the average person of his time, he's rather respectful and polite when it comes to conversation. People are often addressed by title, for that's what a proper knight does. Although, he prefers that people drop the honorifics when they are around him. It takes a certain sort of humility to do this. Soldiers are expendable, but the nobility aren't, as he'd say. He often only talks to other people specifically if he has some sort of important business to attend to, or if they're extremely close. Many people have to strike conversation with him first, but it isn't hard to keep it going.
In short, he's a rough man on the outside, but a kind man on the inside. He holds his beliefs high, and isn't afraid to tell you if he disagrees with it. He isn't quite forthcoming, preferring his distance. There's a reason why he's been called an aloof lanceman.
Abilities: Cormag, as many of the Grado soldiers is trained to be a fighter. He happens to be a rather exceptional one as well. He quickly made a name for himself in the army, falling short of his older brother. For specifics, he has a good lance arm and has been trained with using wyverns as his mount. Those who ride wyverns tend to be a bit slower than the other flying units, but make up for this fault with strong strength and defence. It means that he can certainly take a hit physically. Attack him with a spell though? He's going to get into a bit of a trouble, as wyverns are known for their low magical resistance. Should he be promoted, he also learns how to use swords in battle, but has much less skill with them than his starting lance weapons.
