Mordecai (モゥディ, Moudi?) is a warrior of the beast country, Gallia. Along with Lethe, he is stationed in Crimea to offer support and to foster relations between the two nations. He is portrayed as one of the more peace-loving and innocent beast laguz, and, unlike his commanding officer Lethe, he seems to bear no ill will toward the Beorc, and even shows a great deal of kindness toward Ilyana in Path of Radiance, in which he gives her money for food and offers her protection, addressing her affectionately as "little beorc".
Although Mordecai is Lethe's subordinate, he often reprimands her violent behavior toward the beorc in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. In spite of this even he cannot hold back his rage when once referred to as a sub-human by Soren. But beyond that incident he has shown no fits of blind anger, and indeed garnered the adoration of several beorc companies with his tranquil nature.
Mordecai is one of the most kindhearted Laguz, even though his broad appearance says otherwise. His tender heart is the reason he closes his eyes right before attacking his enemies, for he doesn't wish to see them torn to shreds (he states this when in a support with Ranulf). He is shown to get along well with children, as shown in a base conversation between Crimean villagers where they talk about how Mordecai helped rebuild their village and how the children liked to play with him. His gentle nature shows when he meets Mist, as he admits being afraid that he will scare her with his appearance. He even showed generosity toward Beorc like Ilyana to fill her constant desire for food.
His dedication to his friends is able to influence him greatly, as an example would be a support with Stefan in which Mordecai defied the teachings of the goddess. Mordecai said, "I have not met the Goddess. But if her laws make you unwanted, then I will have nothing to do with her."
Mordecai is one of the most virtuous and innocent characters within the Tellius series (and his small understanding of the beorc language and animal growls adds to his innocent nature, but hearing the word Sub-human could turn his attitude upside-down).
