I'm pretty sure Excellus is the forbidden lovechild of Oliver and Valtome. He's definitely, definitely a reference to the Begnion Senators. (And not Myaru's High School AU Begnion Senators. *shot*)

Is Henry promoted yet? I found him very underwhelming until he got a horse. Then suddenly he was everywhere, raining fire from behind a massive defense. (His speed could be better, though. Tharja is speedy but her skill has crapped out for me in two consecutive games.)
