History Characters / FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWarFirstGeneration

* HiddenBuxom: Some of her ''Fire Emblem Cipher'' artwork reveals that beneath her breastplate, she is fantastically well-endowed. Given her unwillingness to believe she is attractive, her breastplate may actually deliberately obscure how large her chest is. As she's also a strong physical attacker, it doubles as BoobsOfSteel.

* ManOnFire: [[spoiler:Infamously, his fate at the hands of Arvis]].

* BladeOnAStick: Notable for being the first Lord in the series to be able to use them. However, [[HeroesPreferSwords his weapon of choice, like most lords, is a sword]].

* BladeOnAStick: As a Duke Knight, he uses lances exclusively.

* BladeOnAStick: Being a lance knight, this is essentially a must. It helps that he gets a [[InfinityMinusOneSword Brave Lance]] that essentially becomes his trademark weapon.

* BladeOnAStick: The pegasus knight weapon of choice.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: In the Oosawa manga, it's clear that the people of Silesse utterly love him.

* ContraltoOfDanger: In ''Heroes'' both her Japanese and English voice actresses give her a deep voice and she's a tomboy and master swordswoman.

* ExactWords: He believes that he cannot be defeated so long as he wields Gáe Bolg. [[spoiler:If Ethlyn falls before him, Quan is forced to drop the weapon to prevent Altena from being harmed.]]

* WarriorPrince: Prince of Leonster and a descendant of Njörun , he is a strong warrior.

* RecurringElement: The Green Cavalier of ''Fire Emblem 4''. In addition, Alec started the trend of a member of the player's army who's a flirt.

* RecurringElement: The Red Cavalier of ''Fire Emblem 4''.

* KingIncognito: Hides that he's the prince of Silesse until Chapter 4.

* UnrequitedTragicMaiden: Has quite the whiffs of this is the Oosawa manga.

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: [[spoiler:She did what she could as the Silessen Queen (in the manga and ''Thracia 776''), but ultimately died of illness while waiting for her hubby to return.]]

* BadassBaritone: His voice in ''Heroes'', befitting his powerful, heroic character.

** Arden has another such event in Chapter 5 which not only requires Arden to stand on one particular out-of-the-way tile, but also requires him to be married, [[TierInducedScrappy which players are unlikely to do unprovoked.]]

** Arden has another such event in Chapter 5 which not only requires Arden to stand on one particular out-of-the-way tile, but also requires him to be married, [[TierInducedScrappy which almost never happens.]]
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: If you pair him.

** Arden has another such event in Chapter 5 which not not only requires Arden to stand on one particular out-of-the-way tile, but also requires him to be married, [[TierInducedScrappy which almost never happens.]]

* BareYourMidriff: Part (or rather, not) of her dancer's outfit.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: While this is true of most ''Fire Emblem'' lords, Sigurd takes the cake. Out of all of his forces, the toughest one of the lot is Sigurd himself.

'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkiraIshida (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Austin Lee Matthews (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')\\

* ChekhovsSkill: In gameplay. The only skill she possess is the fairly underwhelming Nihil, which prevents her from taking critical hits. Considering that she is pretty much a OneHitPointWonder on any physical attacks and more effective as a healer than as a fighter, she will likely never use it. [[spoiler:She passes the skill to her children Seliph and Julia, and it is the reason they are able the only characters able to reliably take on [[FinalBoss Julius]] who possess the [[TurnsRed Wrath]] skill, as it will allow him to inflict [[OneHitKill critical hits]] on every attack when under half his health.]]

* HouseWife: She cannot be deployed into the battlefield in Chapter 3, having recently given birth to Seliph. Lampshaded when, in the Oosawa manga, [[spoiler:she's kidnapped while defending one of the conquered castles, which she ''does'' manage to pull despite said kidnapping]].

* MageKiller: Once he gets [[InfinityPlusOneSword the Tyrfing]], which gives a huge Resistance bonus.

* MotherlySidePlait: How he wears his hair in Gen 2.

* ParentsAsPeople: With his kids, especially his daughters. It depends heavily on who his wife was: he's pretty harsh to [[spoiler:Erinys's daughter Fee]], acts somewhat gentler to [[spoiler:Silvia's daughter Lene]], and deeply sympathizes with [[spoiler:Tailtiu's daughter Tine, additionally shedding tears upon finding out the fate of her mother and his own wife]].

* WhatTheHellHero: His mother chews him out for leaving Silesse and tells him to stick with Sigurd so he'll catch some responsibility off of him.

* LightningBruiser: With the Brave Axe, Lex is nigh-unkillable. Also a good candidate for the Pursuit Ring if you decide to bench Arden (who has the event needed to get it), especially if you choose to marry him to someone like Lachesis or Tailtiu.
* MightyGlacier: Without the Brave Axe. He hits hard, but only hits once.

* RebelPrince: His family is an enemy to Sigurd's.

* WeakButSkilled: In a fairly literal sense, though he ironically doesn't have great Skill. Lex has the worst weapon type of the gang due to being an axe-user in a game where axes are almost useless, and his growths are pretty passable apart from Defense, but he's also got the Paragon and Vantage personal skills, which means that he trains himself up very quickly to compensate for his initially mediocre combat skill.

'''Holy blood:''' Naga [Major], [[spoiler:Loptous [Minor[=]=]]]\\

* MiscarriageofJustice: [[spoiler:He is the victim of this. Arvis killed him for a crime he didn't commit.]]
