Personality
Schaeffer is brutish and cowardly, choosing to force the Palmeni hostages to fight in order to protect himself and his men from the Crimean forces,[1] and threatening to murder them if they revealed to Ike's forces that Schaeffer and his men were present. He was somewhat fearful himself, however, as he fought the Crimean army only out of paranoia at the idea that they would kill him for working for Daein.[2] He seemed to be particularly terrified around laguz, even by Daein standards. Even when he died, he insisted that he failed only because he didn't use enough priests as hostages, and because he should have brought and used babies.
