—Lombroso refusing Zelgius' order to ceasefire for three days.
Lombroso is a boss character in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. He is a high ranking soldier serving both the Begnion Senate and the Begnion Central Army. He is ordered to attack Castle Seliora where the Greil Mercenaries were residing in, despite the three-day truce that General Zelgius offered to the Laguz Alliance being in effect. Like most Begnion Generals, he resents the Laguz tribes.
Profile
Lombroso leads the siege of Castle Seliora under the orders of an unnamed senator and was probably the general of the unnamed senator's personal army. His forces are ultimately defeated by the Greil Mercenaries, who were left in Castle Seliora after the three-day ceasefire was announced. He either dies in combat or is ordered to pull out by Levail, never to be heard from again.
Personality
While playing only a minor role in the game's plot, Lombroso proves himself a cruel individual who does not care about maintaining peace and hopes to see an end to the Laguz tribe after the war concludes. Like many Senators, including the one he speaks to, he dislikes Zelgius. He attacks the Greil Mercenaries in spite of Zelgius' orders for a three-day armistice with the Laguz Alliance, and calls Zelgius a "sanctimonious has-been" in his battle conversation with Ike.
Lombroso carries a great deal of pride, ignoring tactics and planning under the belief that numbers alone would give him victory. He also places a great deal of emphasis on social status; in the game's extended script, he attempts to ignore Levail's orders despite recognizing as the Duke of Gaddos' general, on account of his lower social status. However, he is forced to comply once Levail reminds him that, as Zelgius' appointed adjutant, he now outranks Lombroso.

- Ike: Are you the best Begnion could send?
- Lombroso: What?! How dare you take that tone with me!
- Ike: Or did they send you at all? Does General Zelgius know about this little excursion?
