Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War (Fujimori manga)

| “ | Narration: And Alvar, the younger brother, is lazy! Lachesis: Ah... I DON'T NEED A LAZY KNIGHT! |
” | — Lachesis, on Alvar's character |

Evan, Evar, and Alvar's roles are greatly expanded upon in Fujimori Nuttsu's Genealogy of the Holy War manga, which adapts the events of the first generation of the game in a more comedic manner. Alvar is introduced as the youngest brother of the Famous Triplet Paladins of Nordion, who all look near-identical and are easily mistaken for another even after changing their hairstyles to be distinct. Alvar is depicted as being the lazy and mischievous one of the trio, and he is occasionally shown to be quite childish. As such, he is often used for comic relief.
Unlike in Chapter 2 of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Evan, Evar, and Alvar were initially tasked with accompanying Lachesis's attack on Sigurd's army, which she mistook for Elliot's. After this misunderstanding was resolved, Alvar assisted Sigurd's army in fighting Elliot's and Macbeth's armies.
During the assault on Mackily Castle, Clement managed to put Lachesis to sleep with his Sleep staff. Evan, in a blind rage, ordered Evar and Alvar to storm the castle with him, single-handedly destroying any opposition. Inside the castle, the trio confronted and managed to kill Clement.
After the battle and during a conversation between Evan and Evar, Alvar was forced to confess to being the person who ate Evan's hidden cookie stash; he was then coerced to go out and buy cookies for him.
Following the capture of Agusti Castle and Eldigan's rescue, Alvar revealed to his siblings that he was given a Knight Ring by Eldigan (who had mistaken him for Evar) to give to Lachesis back when Eldigan went off to plead with Chagall. Evan, seeing an opportunity to be alone with Lachesis, promptly took the ring from Alvar and delivered it to her.
