Bunet’s calm demeanor contrasts heavily to the energetic predisposition of his liege Fogato. He dedicates most of his time collecting ingredients in order to perfecting cooking, his true passion. Cooking is not Bunet’s only skill, as he is a royal retainer oand a proficient mounted warrior.

His starting class in Fire Emblem Engage is Great Knight. They are heavily armed warriors clad in protective armor. As a Great Knight, Bunet can use a variety of weapons to protect his allies. He can also traverse a large amount of terrain thanks to being a mounted warrior. However, players will have to be careful, as Great Knights are particularly weak to magic attacks.
