Eliwood is an idealistic pacifist who, despite his charismatic disposition and natural talents for leadership, is frequently seen as naive, or rather, as someone who needs protection. He is a very smooth and polite person who remains calm and helpful throughout conversations. He is quite casual and does not judge people at all; he looks at people for who they are and truly cares about all of the soldiers in the army. On his journey, he is very determined to succeed, first to find his father.
