Profile
Istvan seeks to crush the Laguz Alliance in order to receive a hefty monetary reward for his efforts, and pays no attention towards the Greil Mercenaries, assuming they are mere bandits.

Personality
Owing to the minor role Istvan plays, his personality is largely vague. Despite this, his battle quotes depicts him as a competitive individual filled with greed, who competes against his affiliated army in crushing his enemies severely to earn the highest reward. Even more when leaving behind a large amounts of fallen Laguz. As a Begnion soldier, he also has no knowledge of the Greil Mercenaries despite their reputation from the previous war.

- Istvan: Greil Mercenaries? Hm. Never heard of them! You are just small-time bandits, yes? Argh! If we had left behind dead bodies of sub-humans, our reward would have been bigger! My lord is not being pleased with heads of bandits!
- Ike: Oh, I wouldn't worry about our heads. You have no chance to win this fight. Leave while you can.
