“Kotaff: At last we meet, sub-human! I will exterminate you with my own two hands! My HUMAN hands!
Mordecai: Sub... Sub-human? Grrraaaaaa!
— Mordecai vs Kotaff in Chapter 9 in Path of Radiance

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. 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.

It is interesting to note he is quite agile even in his human form, as he does a backflip whenever he dodges an enemy's attack in human form, which is the default "miss" battle animation for all tigers in human form. This creates a huge thunk when he lands, to some amusement.

[edit] Etymology

Mordecai' is a Persian name that means 'servant of Marduk,' the principal Persian god who killed the dragon Tiamat and created the world out of her body. In the Old Testament, the book of Esther, Mordecai was one of the Jews living in Persia during one of the periods of Israel's captivity with his cousin Esther, with whom the Persian King Xerxes fell in love. Esther and Mordecai succeeded in stopping the King's advisor Haman from killing all the Jews living in Persia. Perhaps his relationship with Lethe is an allusion to Mordecai and Esther.
