!!Prince Marth of Altea
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Marth_7376.png]]

The prince and heir of the kingdom of Altea, and the hero of most of the Archanea games. Exiled to Talys in the beginning of the War of Shadows after his father was betrayed by former ally Gra, Marth united the forces of Altea, Aurelis and Archanea to rise up against Dolhr and kill the revived Medeus. Three years later, he clashed head-on with the mad Emperor [[spoiler:Hardin]] of Archanea in the War of Heroes. In time, [[spoiler:Archanea would come to be united under his rule as the War of Heroes [[WarIsHell took its toll]] on the rulers of other nations]], and he would go down in history as the legendary Hero-King; thousands of years later, his descendants are [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening the royal family of Ylisse]], including Chrom, Emmeryn, Lissa, [[spoiler:and Lucina]].

'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShigeruNakahara (Audio Drama), Creator/HikaruMidorikawa (Japanese, OVA, all versions of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/AiOrikasa (Japanese, OVA [child]), Creator/SpikeSpencer (English, OVA), Creator/YuriLowenthal (English, ''VideoGame/CodeNameSteam'', ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Sometimes, in his more childish moments.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Marth used to look like [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/7/70/Fe1marthfalchion.png/revision/latest?cb=20140329013726 this]]. Then, ''Mystery'' gave him [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/a/a6/Marth.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100721080303 a more Bishounen look]]. Then, this trope was taken Up to Eleven with the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games; [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/8/84/MarthBrawl.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100811025031 behold]]. His ''Shadow Dragon'' [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:MarthDS.jpg look]] and ''New Mystery'' look (shown above) are no slouches either.
* AllLovingHero
* BackToBackBadasses: With My Unit in the ''New Mystery of the Emblem ~Heroes of Light and Shadow~'' boxart.
* BadassCape: Wears one in every design.
* {{Bishonen}}: Though not as much as some of the other characters. Turned UpToEleven in his ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' appearances (to the point of {{Flanderization}} concerning DudeLooksLikeALady), but toned down to normal levels for ''Shadow Dragon'' and the sequel.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Caeda.
* ChromaticArrangement: Kickstarted the trend of a blue lord followed by red and green knights.
* CluelessChickMagnet: Though he and Caeda are as much an OfficialCouple as you can get, he seems completely oblivious to the many other women who develop unrequited crushes on him. Among them being Catria, Malliesia, and even a nameless village girl. (Two actually, one in ''Mystery'' Book 2's Chapter 17, and one in the OVA.)
* CoolSword: The Falchion. A weapon that would fall into [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Chrom]] [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening and Lucina]]]]'s hands.
** In the original, he is the only one who can equip the Mercurius. However, this was changed and anyone with a high enough weapon level (''Mystery'') or A rank in swords (remakes) can wield it.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Falchion in the original. While it is an unbreakable weapon and its ability to negate direct attacks from non-Manaketes is nice, it is only effective against Medeus, and has only 10 Might. You might want to stock up on some Dragon Slayers against the remaining Manakete enemies in the game. ''Mystery'' nerfed the Falchion by raising its weight and removing its direct attack negating ability.
** This is averted in the remake, where the Falchion is pretty much an unbreakable Silver Sword that is effective against all Manaketes.
* DiscOneNuke: In Book 2 of ''Mystery'', Marth is the only character from your starting team who can double using Steel Swords other than [[CrutchCharacter Arran]].
** Thanks to the access to buyable Rapiers, Marth is one of the more useful characters in ''Dark Dragon''.
* DependingOnTheWriter: A very blatant example; while he always keeps his base traits of bravery and nobility, in his original appearances he's a borderline KiddieKid[=/=]Manchild, in ''Shadow Dragon'' he is extremely WiseBeyondHisYears, and in ''New Mystery'' he's mostly mature with childish HiddenDepths.
* TheEmperor: [[spoiler:Becomes one to the entire continent of Archanea at the end of ''New Mystery''.]]
* EleventhHourSuperpower: Falchion is this for him.
* TheGoodKing: [[spoiler:Becomes one after being crowned Emperor of Archanea at the end of ''New Mystery''.]]
* TheHero: The original Fire Emblem hero.
* HeroesPreferSwords: He started the trend of main characters using them.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: In the original and ''Mystery of the Emblem.'' ''Shadow Dragon'' changes this -- it shows that the betrayal of Gra and the loss of his family and kingdom have, in fact, not been at all healthy for him psychologically. ''New Mystery'' finally settles on a Downplayed example of this trope.
* IUhYouToo: [[spoiler:With Caeda in the epilogue.]]
* JackOfAllStats: In a gameplay sense, Marth has this problem. Marth is able to fight well in most of his incarnations, but he is the main Lord, which means he is responsible for visiting villages, seizing, fighting, and opening treasure chests. (Granted, thieves can also do the last one.)
* LightningBruiser: In the original, when compared to everyone else on the cast, his growth is above average in every area with a standout luck growth, beside defense where he has 20% (20% is the average defense growth in the first game). In ''New Mystery'', the growth inflation still gives him an above average growth in offense, alongside average defense.
* LegendaryInTheSequel: 2000 years later, by the time of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', he's known as the legendary Hero King who united the continent and saved the world.
* JustAKid: His youth is often pointed out.
* MageKiller: In the original. Luck is used for Magic Evasion, and he has a very high luck stat, a characteristic that can be found on a lot of his successors.
* MagneticHero: And one of the largest armies in FE history to prove it.
* NiceGuy: He's definitely one of these.
* NoPronunciationGuide: A strange case -- the English dub of the OVA translated his name as "Mars", traditionally pronounced "marz", but still pronounced it closer to "Marce" (which, if you ignore "Marth" for a moment, is actually pretty kana-accurate).
* OfferedTheCrown: [[spoiler:Minerva, Sheena and Nyna leave him the crowns of Macedon, Gra and Archanea, respectively. He also gets the crown of Aurelis, as its King has no heirs.]]
* PantsFree: On the cover and in the gameplay of ''Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light'', Marth wore a toga-esque uniform with exposed legs. This has been subject to much MemeticMutation. Curiously, ''Mystery Of the Emblem's''' cover and artwork show Marth wearing a different uniform with pants, but in gameplay Marth wears his old pantsless garb.
** His book 1 [[http://serenesforest.net/fe3/face/marth.gif portrait]] on the SNES seems to be the toga and his book 2 [[http://serenesforest.net/fe3/face/marth2.gif portrait]] is his modern uniform. It's likely Marth was originally intended to change clothes between books.
* TheRedBaron: [[IHaveManyNames Many]]: "Prince of Light", "Hero-King", "Star Lord/Star and Savior"...
* RoyalRapier: The first to start a tradition of lords using these as their primary weapon.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: The Prince, and later King, of Altea, and he fights on the frontlines.
* ShroudedInMyth: Became this thousands of years after the events of his life. [[spoiler:Lucina]] believed that he was essentially an unstoppable one man army whom saved the world. She was shocked when [[spoiler:Tiki]] told her that he was kind, gentle, cared about his friends more than anything else, and was hopelessly idealistic.
* TheWisePrince: He's definitely this.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Kickstarted the recurring tendency for ''Fire Emblem'' protagonists to sport blue (or otherwise unrealistically-colored) hair.

!!Princess Caeda of Talys ''(Shiida, Sheeda)''
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Caeda_8194.png]]

Caeda is the pure-hearted princess of Talys, trained as a pegasus knight. She is a childhood friend of Marth, the two having grown up together. She joins Marth in his quest, staying by his side most of the time and is also responsible for recruiting various people, including Castor, Navarre, Roger, Jake, and Lorenz. After the War of Shadows, she becomes Marth's fiancée, but the two don't get around to marrying until after the War of Heroes.

->'''Class:''' Pegasus Knight\\
'''Voiced by:''' Rei Sakuma (Audio Drama), Creator/SakuraTange (Japanese, OVA), Creator/SaoriHayami (Japanese, ''VideoGame/TokyoMirageSessionsFE'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/KimSevier (English, OVA), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
----
* ActionGirl: The original.
* AdaptationalWimp[=/=]FauxActionGirl: In other adaptations. The manga had it that she wields a sword, but couldn't properly use it and easily knocked away until Hardin rescued her, and they even omits some of Caeda's capabilities of recruiting people (like Navarre). This is vastly different than in the games, where she's always a very good unit and can easily rack up kill counts on her own.
* BadassPrincess: She take an active role in the war by recruiting a lot of potential allies, not to mention being a powerful unit in her own rights.
* BladeOnAStick: Uses Lances as her main weapon.
** Can get [[AnAxeToGrind axes]] if she promotes to Dracoknight or swords if she promotes to Falcon Knight.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Marth.
* CrutchCharacter: The remake gives Caeda the Wing Spear, an {{expy}} of Marth's Rapier, to compensate for her rather weak start and her newfound inability (thanks to the introduction of weapon ranks) to grab Jagen's silver lance as compensation.
* DragonRider: If she promotes to Dracoknight.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: One of the many princesses appearing in the game, and surprisingly doesn't end up as a DamselInDistress in any of the games she appears in.
** Malliesia seems to think this of her In-Universe if their supports are any indication.
* FragileSpeedster: Caeda's speed growth is so overkill that if she doesn't cap that stat before promotion, you're doing it wrong. On the opposite end, her strength and defense growth are below average.
* GuileHero: While generally an overall nice girl, there is a reason why she is required to recruit almost all of the units that start out as enemies, despite having absolutely no past connection with them and relying solely on her "feminine wiles." This is especially apparent in her recruit conversation with Roger, whom she basically sweet-talks into joining the group.
* HelloNurse: She has several admirers InUniverse which helps her convert them to Marth's side.
* KingIncognito: Not in reality, but Malliesia assumes she's this since she doesn't [[PrincessClassic wear pretty dresses or eat gourmet food.]]
* TheLancer: Fits this position the most out of the whole team, alongside Hardin, and unlike Hardin, she is not DemotedToExtra, thanks to the number of units that only she can recruit.
* LightningBruiser: In almost every game she's in, Caeda has a lot of ways to quickly turn into this. In the Famicom/Super Famicom games, she can take Jagen's Silver Lance and promoting to Dracoknight fixes her weak points (low defenses and strength) while she retains her speed. In the DS remakes, she can use a [[GameBreaker forged Wing Spear]], which happens to inflict Triple damage on a sizable portion of the enemy forces in the game.
* ModestRoyalty: What she actually is, though she doesn't really have a choice. See TomboyPrincess below.
* {{Nerf}}: Going from ''Shadow Dragon'' into ''New Mystery'', the majority of enemies in ''Shadow Dragon'' are Cavaliers, Knights, and their promoted counterparts. Caeda is considered the best character in the game thanks to her access to Wing Spear, combined with her high speed and flying capability. While still a good character, the same can't be said for ''New Mystery'' where the enemy compositions are not dominated by Cavaliers and Knights....
* NoPronunciationGuide: Some tend to pronounce her name as kay-da, as opposed to the more Japanese-accurate see-da.
* PluckyGirl: To the point that Navarre gave up arguing with her, twice.
* RoyaltySuperpower: As a Princess, she's capable of using the Aum staff in the remakes.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Princess of Talys, and she's happy to fight.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: One of the worst cases, given she was stuck with multiple English-language name changes. Sheeda, Shiida, Caeda, Sheyda, or even Sheda have all seen use at some point or another.
* TomboyPrincess: She never actually intended to be, but other people label her as one regardless. It's mostly due to her country being a small island nation without much wealth.
* {{Tsundere}}: The OVA interprets her as this with Marth.
* WeaponOfChoice: In the DS remakes, the Wing Spear, a lance version of Marth's RoyalRapier, is exclusive to her.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Like Marth.

!!Frey
[[quoteright:128:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Frey_3931.PNG]]

A knight of Altea. During Marth's escape, Frey volunteered himself as a decoy to lure the invading Gra/Grust army away from Marth and was seemingly killed. In ''New Mystery of the Emblem'', it was revealed that he was left for dead by the invading army and, after recovering from amnesia, reunites with Marth after the War of Darkness.

->'''Class:''' Cavalier
----
* BadassTeacher: He's the knight in charge of lecturing in ''New Mystery of the Emblem''.
* BadassBeard: Has a goatee.
* BladeOnAStick: Like Abel, he has a higher lance rank than sword.
* ChromaticArrangement: The missing blue knight to go along with the traditional red and green knight pair in the remake.
* NotQuiteDead: Confirmed in the sequel.
* SacrificialLamb: Canonically this in the prologue chapters of ''Shadow Dragon''. [[BackFromTheDead He gets better in the sequel]].
* ScarsAreForever: Unseen, but the beating he took from Gra's knights apparently left him with one.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: The beating he took when Gra's knights found out he wasn't Marth left him with this, though he recovered between games.
* UndyingLoyalty: Appears to have this.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Must be why he's the canonical decoy.

!!Abel
[[quoteright:128:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Abel_2185.PNG]]

A knight of Altea and close friend of Cain, known as the Black Panther. He was one of the retinue of Altean knights who aided Marth in escaping Altea and accompanied him in his Talys exile. He fell in love with Est after the War of Darkness, and [[HomeSweetHome retired early from the army to run a shop]] with Est. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:Abel [[IHaveYourWife was later forced to fight against]] his prince and country in the second war, although he can be persuaded to rejoin again after speaking to either Marth or Est.]]

->'''Class:''' Cavalier ([=FE1, FE11=]), Paladin ([=FE3, FE12=])\\

----

* BladeOnAStick: Starts with a better lance rank than sword, the opposite of Cain.
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:In the epilogue of ''Mystery'', he disappears, either in search of the also-disappeared Est, or [[HeartbrokenBadass because of her death]].]]
* ButtMonkey: ''New Mystery'''s base conversations reveal that for as much he's in love with Est... her Pegasus ''hates him'' and went out of its way to savage Abel.
* ChromaticArrangement: Of two sets. Originally the green to Cain's red and Marth's blue. Also forms a cavalier trio in the prologue of the remake with Frey as the blue.
* CluelessChickMagnet: He just doesn't seem to get a break with romance.
* NiceGuy: In his base conversations with female MU, he states that Est was mad at him for being too nice by giving away free things in his shop.
* ProgressivelyPrettier: In the original ''Dark Dragon'', he was unattractive. In both his official art and sprite in that game, he had a buck tooth. By ''Mystery of the Emblem'' and his future appearance, he became a {{Bishonen}} and loses the buck tooth.
* RedBaron: The Black Panther.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Cain's red.
* RegretfulTraitor: [[spoiler:Feels bad about fighting Marth's army, and only does so due to Est's life being threatened if he doesn't.]]
* RetiredBadass: Retired from Altea's army at the end of ''Shadow Dragon'' to open up a shop, making him this in ''New Mystery''.
* StarCrossedLovers: With Est, depending on whether the player thinks he finds her again or not.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Cain.
* TrappedInVillainy: [[spoiler:Fights against Marth's army in ''New Mystery'' because Est will be killed if he doesn't.]]

!!Cain ''(Kain)''
[[quoteright:128:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Cain_7233.PNG]]

A knight of Altea and close friend of Abel, known as the Great Bull. At the onset of the War of Shadows, he fought in the battle at Gra in which King Cornelius was killed, and was sent back to bring Marth the king's last words; he then accompanied the prince in his exile to Talys.

----
* BadassTeacher: He's the knight in charge of new recruits practical training in ''New Mystery of the Emblem''.
* BigBrotherMentor: He's My Unit's main trainer in the prologue (aside of Jagen) and acts like a big bro to him/her.
* CainAndAbel: Averted; Cain is a stand up Knight and the best friend of Abel (it's never said if they're related or not).
** [[spoiler:In fact, Abel is the one who betrays Marth, though [[IHaveYourWife for sympathetic reasons]] unrelated to Cain. And just like a good buddy, Cain was obviously flabbergasted that they had to fight Abel. Even this also seeps in to ''VideoGame/TokyoMirageSessionsFE'' where Cain is the good Mirage, Abel is the bad Mirage. Nintendo seems to like playing around with this trope]].
* ChromaticArrangement: Of two sets. Originally the red to Abel's green and Marth's blue. Also forms a cavalier trio in the prologue of the remake with Frey as the blue.
* FourStarBadass: Becomes commander of Altea's knights in the epilogue of ''New Mystery of the Emblem''.
* MyGreatestFailure: Watching King Cornelius' death continued to haunt Cain, as revealed in his support.
* LightningBruiser: In ''Mystery'', he has the highest HP, Skill, Speed, Luck, and Weapon Level growth out of any Cavalier in the game, alongside nice base stats.
* RedBaron: The Red Bull.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Abel's blue.
* SatelliteCharacter: Isn't quite developed as Abel, outside of the prologue of ''Shadow Dragon''. Although ''New Mystery'' gave him a good link with My Unit.
* SoleSurvivor: Of the knights King Cornelius took to face Medeus.
* SurvivorsGuilt: This angle is added in ''Shadow Dragon'', as portrayed in his beautifully written death quote.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Abel.
* TheWorkaholic: He constantly talks about his training in How's Everyone in ''New Mystery''.

!!Jagen ''(Jeigan)''
[[quoteright:128:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Jagen_4675.PNG]]

A veteran knight of Altea. He acts as Marth's guardian and is one of the people Marth turns to for guidance. After the War of Shadows, he retired from active service as a knight and instead took up the position of Marth's advisor.

->'''Class:''' Paladin\\
'''Voiced by:''' Ikuya Sawaki (Audio Drama), Creator/SeizoKato (Japanese, OVA), Creator/ShirouGou (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/JohnSwasey (English, OVA), Creator/WaldenJames (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
----
* AscendedExtra: In [=FE1/FE11=], he was just a character who had a few lines (though the same goes for most characters in those games). In [=FE3/FE12=], he's now an important NPC and Marth's tactician.
* BadassBoast: He delivered one of the best ones in the series:
-->''I understand. You have endured well until now. Lang, my liege might forgive your frequent rudeness to him, but I will not. Come, draw your sword. Even though I, Jagen, am old and senile, I will not lose to the likes of you."''
* BadassGrandpa: Moreso in story than ingame, though he can have his uses early on.
* BladeOnAStick: Has a higher lance rank than sword, and comes with a Silver Lance. The Silver Lance would later become iconic to the Jagen archetype, and Jagen himself.
* BoringButPractical: Jagen's high movement makes him ideal to chase down enemy thieves for the early period of the game.
* CoolOldGuy: Old enough that he can't take part in the War of Heroes, cool enough he has the respect of all the young warriors.
* CrutchCharacter: He was formerly the trope namer for this, and the fandom continues to name, define, and exemplify it as an archetype. A villager in ''Shadow Dragon'' lampshades it.
* DemotedToExtra: Though he played a much more prominent role in the sequel's story as Marth's advisor, he's still one of a handful of characters from ''Dark Dragon/Shadow Dragon'' to not be playable at all in ''New Mystery''. Oddly, he still wears full armour as if he would be.
* OldRetainer: He's served Marth for a long time.
* OldSoldier: He's fought for Altea for years.
* ThePaladin: InNameOnly.
* RetiredBadass: Sets down his lance at the end of ''Shadow Dragon'', and is just an adviosr to Marth in ''New Mystery'' because of this.
* ShouldersOfDoom: Seriously, you could kill several men at once on those shoulderspikes.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name was widely translated as Jeigan before the game officially made it out of Japan. This has led to an interesting quirk in the fandom -- calling Jagen himself by the name Jagen is now near-universal, but the ''archetype'' he started is still generally called "Jeigan".
* SternTeacher: Is mentioned to be such in ''New Mystery of the Emblem'' by his trainees.
* TheStrategist: In Book 2, which he actually does very well at.
* TwentyFourHourArmor: For some reason, he still wears his full battle armour while serving as Marth's tactician, despite being unable to fight himself, outside of sparring with trainees.

!!Gordin ''(Gohdon)''
[[quoteright:128:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Gordin_729.PNG]]

An archer in the service of Altea and a friend of Draug's. During Marth's escape at the onset of the War of Shadows, he was captured by the enemy and disguised as one of their soldiers as a trap, but is saved by Marth and accompanies him in his exile to Talys. After the war, he moves to Archanea to train under Jeorge, and later serves as an inspiration to his younger brother Raian.

----
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Has a support bonus with Draug and ExpandedUniverse materials portray them together.
* BoundAndGagged: In ''Shadow Dragon'''s prologue.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: A more sinister example in ''Shadow Dragon'''s prologue: he certainly wanted nothing to do with it.
* OffModel: His portrait in ''Shadow Dragon'', leading to him being one of the small few characters' portraits to be remodelled in ''New Mystery''.
* PantsFree: Prior to ''Shadow Dragon''.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The only thing anyone seems to agree on is to ''not'' spell his name the actual way: Gordon.

!!Draug ''(Dohga)''
[[quoteright:128:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Draug_8355.PNG]]

Draug is an armoured knight in the service of Altea. At the onset of the War of Shadows, he prepares a ship to allow Marth and his cohort to escape Altea, and is shown to be friendly towards the new recruit Norne.

----
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Has a support bonus with the short archer, Gordin. This is expanded on in the manga, and anime continuities.
* BladeOnAStick: Uses a Lance as his main weapon.
* FragileSpeedster: His speed growth has always been higher than his defense growth except in ''New Mystery'' even as a Knight. Reclassing him to a speed-focused class further enhances this.
* GentleGiant: His ending refers to him as this.
* {{Irony}}: Is a renowned Knight who is well-known for his durability. While this, to an extent, is true in the first and third game, Draug is way more effective as a GlassCannon in the remakes. In fact, he is the second fastest character in the team beside Caeda.
* MightyGlacier: The first playable armor knight in the series. However he plays with this by having a surprisingly good speed growth. When reclassed out of armor Knight in the DS remakes, he becomes a FragileSpeedster ironically!
* MemeticBadass: According to My Unit in one of their support conversations, people considered Draug as this In-Universe. Made even more impressive by the fact that My Unit thinks that this is actually true.
** ''Doga will choke this point'' has been a popular meme within the fandom for some time now.
* SdrawkcabName: Guard spelled backwards. His parents must have known he would become an armour knight.
** FridgeBrilliance: Apparently, his Japanese name "Dohga" is "guard" spelled backwards, so it turns out the same meaning made it through the translation. Similarly, in French, he was called "Edgar", an anagram of "garde".
* TookALevelInBadass: Gameplay wise, Draug become quite a monster in ''New Mystery''. Story wise, he become a MemeticBadass.

!!Norne ''(Norn)''
[[quoteright:128:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Norne_2721.PNG]]

A volunteer soldier who joins Marth as he is fleeing Altea. She appears to befriend Draug and Gordin and is an old childhood friend of Kris.

->'''Class:''' Archer
----
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With My Unit if they support.
* CountryMouse
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Rebecca]]. She also looks almost exactly like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral Ethlin]].
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Has a support with Draug who is quite a deal larger then her.
* NoSenseOfDirection: As revealed with her supports with My Unit, explaining why whenever she appears, she has someone else with her.
* ZettaiRyouiki: In official artwork, but the sprites in the DS games aren't detailed enough to show it and the ones in ''Awakening'' don't have it in her default class.

!!Wrys ''(Riff)''
[[quoteright:128:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Wrys_1989.PNG]]

This is Wrys, a humble curate from Talys, who joined Marth in order to assist in defending his home country. He cannot fight, but the staff he carries can heal your wounded. Take him with you, and you'll be very glad you did.

* BaldOfAwesome: Might be this, but... well, see below.
* CombatMedic: Upon promotion he gains the use of tomes.
* CoolOldGuy: Always happy to lend a hand to prospective Altean soldiers.
* CrutchCharacter: To an extent. He mostly serves as your healer until you get Lena.
* ElementalPowers: Can use tomes after promoting into Bishop.
* TheMedic: Can't fight, but can heal your wounded.
* PutOnABus: Didn't appear in either book of ''Mystery of the Emblem''. This was remedied in ''Heroes of Light and Shadow''.
* RunningGag: ''New Mystery'' made one of his [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment rather abrupt recruitment]] in ''Shadow Dragon''. Specifically, he introduces himself with the exact same line.
* WhiteMage: In his own words, he can't fight, but he can heal.

!!Ogma ''(Oguma)''
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-OgumaDS_1862.jpg]]

Ogma is a hard-edged mercenary who leads the mercenary trio Barst, Bord, and Cord. He was a gladiator at first and was drafted to the Talysian army when Caeda stopped several people from punishing him after he aided in Samuel's escape. Ogma then dedicated his life to being the princess's bodyguard and was eventually handpicked as the guard of both her and Marth during the latter's quest.

* CombatPragmatist: Comes with him being a former gladiator. As revealed by My Unit, it [[ConfusionFu catches most knights off guard]], which is partly why he fights so well against them.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: It's clear his life as a gladiator ''really'' damaged him, but he tries to forget it.
* DiscOneNuke: In Book 2 of ''Mystery''. He has mediocre growths all around, but his base stats are so massive it does not even matter.
* EightiesHair: Has one hell of a mullet; its extent [[DependingOnTheArtist depends on the artist]].
* GladiatorGames: His former occupation before Caeda found him, and the basis of his fighting style. He wasn't there by choice, though; see below.
* HarmfulToMinors: He was forced to fight in brutal gladiator games when he was just a child. Given [[{{Gorn}} the kinds of things he describes going on in there]], it's a wonder he even managed to remain sane.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Ogma uses swords very well.
* JackOfAllStats: Depending on the games. His growth has always been mediocre. Compared to Navarre, he has worse growth in every area, except for Defense, where he is average. His base stats are unremarkable besides speed, HP and skill.
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: PlayedForDrama. He ''really'' doesn't like anyone bringing up his gladiator past, for reasons that become obvious in his second support with My Unit.
* LightningBruiser: In ''Mystery'' Book 2. His mediocre growth is more than made up for by his massive base stats.
* TheMentor: He defies it himself in his supports with MU. He doesn't want anyone to see him as one, because he believes that no-one should aspire to be like him.
* NotSoStoic: Any time his past is brought up.
* ShouldersOfDoom: As interpreted by ''Mystery of the Emblem'' and the OVA. As of ''Shadow Dragon'', they're gone.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Caeda.
* XMarksTheHero: Ogma has an x-shaped scar on his cheek, he's also one of Marth's most skilled allies, and is known for his great swordsmanship.

* AnAxeToGrind: One of the few axe Using units in the original NES version.
* HeroicNeutral: In ''New Mystery of the Emblem''. After the War of Darkness, he retired from being a mercenary and just wished to live peacefully as a lumberjack. During the War of Heroes, one of his fellow mercenaries (either Ogma, Cord, or Bord) convince him to fight alongside Marth once again.
* MightyGlacier: In the original. He will never have a good attack speed because Axes have massive weight. In return, he has great base stats, and his growth rate is the best out of the three Axe Brothers in every area but HP, mostly because Bord and especially Cord are poorly balanced in ''Dark Dragon''.
* PaletteSwap: Uses Bord and Cord's portrait but with Blue hair in [=FE1=].

Bord is a Talys mercenary under Ogma. After the war, he becomes a woodcutter renowned for his skill.

!!Castor ''(Kashim)''

Castor is a hunter from Talys who was forced to leave his home and work with bandits and pirates to pay for the money needed to tend to both his sickly mother and many siblings. During the War of Shadows, Caeda convinces him to join Marth's army and promises to pay for his mother's medicine. By the time of ''Mystery of the Emblem'', however, Castor has become a swindler, playing up his pitiful act and his mother's illness to gain more money.

* AllThereInTheManual: The developer's notes revealed that after the War of Shadows, Castor returned home only to find that one of his younger sisters sold herself into slavery to pay for the family's needs, and thus Castor tracked her down to Port Warren, where he found her left dead in a back ally. After this, Castor vowed to make enough money to sure this never would happen to his siblings again, leading him to become the swindler he is during ''Mystery of the Emblem''.

He also has one of the highest HP growths of any mage in the game, and it's likely he'll end up with 50+ HP, in a game where the max is 60.

->'''Class:''' Cavalier

* AdaptationalHeroism: Say what you will about Matthis, but the manga actually makes him not cowardly at all and an all-around amiable guy.

The younger brother of the King of Aurelis, and leader of its resistance against Dolhr. Known as the Coyote for his relentless spirit. Hardin is in love with Princess Nyna of Archanea, but seems to be unaware of her feelings for Camus. After joining with Marth's army, Hardin quickly befriends the young lord.

In the remake, Hardin can wield the Silver Lance right from his joining chapter, and, most notably, the Ridersbane. There's a reason why he is known as "Jeigan with growth."
* EnemyMine: With Minerva in ''BS Fire Emblem''.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Marth gets a Silver Sword at the end of Chapter 4 of ''Shadow Dragon'' which is ostensibly for Hardin. However, he only has a D Rank in Swords, meaning that he can't use it. This is due to changes to the weapon rank system, as he could wield it in the original game.

* CrutchCharacter: Can be considered the magical version of the Jagen archetype. In ''Shadow Dragon'', he is especially useful considering he can Reclass into almost every class and perform well thanks to his insane base speed.
* DiscOneNuke: He joined one chapter after Merric, and outdoes Merric in every single stat except for skill.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Apparently, he has no love for war, but for some reason in [=FE11=], he will attack you by default until you talk to him with Marth or Merric. This was changed in [=FE3=] book 1, where he was found in a prison cell. In [=FE1=], he would go up to Marth and talk with him.
* LightningBruiser: Oh, so very much. In the first game, he is the third fastest character at base right below Gotoh and Boah, and he has 8 Defense at base, in a game where 20 is the maximum stat, in a game where the strongest boss has only 14 strength. Thanks to this, it's almost impossible for him to be killed in the early chapters.
* MartialPacifist: Does not like war, as stated above. However, he will fight if he has to.
* {{Nerf}}: In the original game, a level 20 promoted Merric BARELY outdoes him at base, and he joined one chapter after Merric does. In the following games, such as the original ''Mystery of the Emblem'', the promotion system is tweaked, and his speed is lowered by 2. The DS remakes indirectly nerfed him by increasing the enemy stats; however, Wendell is still an excellent JackOfAllTrades with the Reclass System. That being said, there's a reason why we have the current Promotion system, and Master Seals replaced the old promotion items in the DS remake, and this guy is a major reason for it.

* StoneWall: In the original, he is a superb tank thanks to his infinite use Dragonstone that gives +17 Defense in a game where 20 is the stats cap, and even then you can make up for his low growth with the ridiculous stats boosting item. It is worth noting that with some abuse on the game's mechanics, he, and by extension Tiki, can become the single most physically bulky character in the entire series.

!!Caesar ''(Seazer)''
[[quoteright:128:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Caesar_640.PNG]]

Though he's clearly an alright guy, he makes it clear to Marth that he's only joining if he gets paid, the fact they were comrades in the last war means nothing. He even says he'd gladly "sell his soul to the devil" if it means getting the money he needs.
* PutOnABus: Didn't appear in the second book of ''Mystery of the Emblem''. This was remedied in ''Heroes of Light and Shadow''.
* SheatheYourSword: The only way to recruit him in ''New Mystery'' is to avoid killing him. The map you fight him on is cramped and crowded, so you'll have your work cut out for you.

A Divine Dragon girl who traveled the world with her "uncle" Bantu, but was captured and brainwashed by Gharnef. After being freed from the spell by Bantu, Tiki joins the Altean army and takes a liking to Marth. She is the daughter of Naga, the God-king of the Divine Dragons, who gave his life to seal her away due to her massive power. Eventually, Bantu took pity on her, and unsealed her and raised her. During the events of ''Mystery'', she is put back to sleep by Gotoh, who is afraid she might go feral, but is allowed to be reawakened after Marth restores the Starsphere and claims the Lifesphere and Geosphere.

A respected general of Grust and a close friend of King Mostyn of Talys. Unlike Camus, Lorenz opposed Grust fighting alongside Dolhr, but complied due to his loyalty. When Marth's army does battle with him and Camus, Mostyn's daughter Caeda convinces him to fight alongside them. After the war, he is made regent to Prince Jubelo and Princess Yuliya; however, in ''Mystery of the Emblem'', he is betrayed by Archanea and starts a rebellion in order to protect the royal siblings from Lang. However, by the time Marth reaches him, he is too wounded to carry on and dies after entrusting Marth with the fate of the children.

She survives, but is captured by Gharnef so that he could use her to use the Aum Staff. After Gharnef's defeat, Elice reunites with Marth and aides him with the power of the Aum.

She is awakened by Marth, who was sent there by Gotoh to make up for a lost Falchion and a dead Tiki, and gives a weaker version of the Falchion.

He became disillusioned with humanity after Gharnef betrayed him and killed Miloah. He eventually becomes a guide to Marth, whose actions restore his faith. He creates Starlight from the Starsphere and Lightsphere in order to defeat Gharnef and personally joins Marth's army in the final battle against Medeus.

Gotoh is one of the surviving Divine Dragons, who lost the ability to take dragon form when he threw away his dragonstone after the battle with the Earth Dragons centuries ago. Following Naga's dying wish, Gotoh watched over humanity during this time. During the events of ''Mystery'', Gotoh orders Marth to recover the five spheres and reveals to him the truth about the Falchion and the Fire Emblem, originally known as the Shield of Seals.

The Princess of Archanea and last living member of the Archanea royal family. Spared and protected from Dolhr by Camus, Nyna fell in love with him and eventually convinced him to help her escape. Afterwards, she joined with Hardin and later Marth and guided them throughout the war.

After the War of Shadows and upon succeeding the throne of Archanea, she is pressured into marrying Hardin by Boah despite still loving Camus: Hardin's conflict over this indirectly led to [[spoiler:his corruption by the Darksphere. Before she was captured by Gharnef, Nyna managed to send her apprentice Linde and the Fire Emblem to Marth and sent a letter to Hardin's brother detailing his "illness".

Michalis immediately makes his little sister Maria a hostage so that Minerva would fight for him.

[[folder:Dolhr (Doluna, Durhua) and Dragons]]
!!Emperor Medeus of Dolhr ''(Mediuth)''
[[quoteright:128:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Medeus_9769.png]]

An Earth Dragon and, if not the cause of it all, the primary foe and biggest threat of the game. He was once a prince of the Earth Dragon royal family, but when the dragons were forced to take Manakete form, he was the only Earth Dragon who complied and thus did not go wild. After the other Earth Dragons were sealed by Naga, Medeus was tasked with guarding the seal. Over time, he became furious on how humans looked down upon his race, so he formed up the Dolhr Empire and enslaved humanity. He was eventually killed by the hero Anri, and his kingdom was destroyed. Centuries later, the dark priest Gharnef brought his forces back and worked to resurrect him. Medeus was revived, but not completely, as he could not leave Dolhr Keep.

->'''Class:''' Manakete ([=FE1=], [=FE11=]), Earth Dragon ([=FE11=]), Dark Dragon ([=FE3, FE12=])\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HideyukiHori (Japanese, ''BS Fire Emblem'')
----
* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: He makes such a claim both times he is defeated.
* BackFromTheDead: Twice, both times revived by Gharnef - once before the beginning of ''Shadow Dragon'', sparking the War of Shadows, and again near the end of the War of Heroes in ''Mystery''. As he dies for the second time, he swears that he can be revived again.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Gharnef.
%%* DarkIsEvil
* DishingOutDirt: Sort of, being an Earth Dragon, but he and his clansmen use what the game terms "[[DarkIsEvil Dark Breath]]". In the Famicom and Super Famicom games, Earth Dragons would ''crawl up out of the ground'' to attack.
* FinalBoss: In both games.
* HumansAreBastards: Saying Medeus is a firm believer in this would be like saying Al Qaeda has a mild dislike of America.
* LooksLikeOrlok: Medeus's human form has this appearance.
* NonindicativeName: Sort of an in-universe example - everyone calls him the "Shadow Dragon", but he's an Earth Dragon and he doesn't appear to be in possession of any sort of dark-based power which would give rise to a name like "Shadow Dragon". That said, come ''Mystery'', he does indeed become a full-fledged dark dragon.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: This one's actually justified. As stated above, he has to stay within the walls of Dolhr Keep until his resurrection is complete; if he left it, he might be powerless.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Given that he started several wars against humanity because of how they treated the Manaketes...
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Moreso than the other Manakete characters, being an Earth Dragon.
* TrueFinalBoss: In ''Mystery'' and ''New Mystery''.

!!Gharnef ''(Garnef)''
[[quoteright:220:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Gharnef_6290.png]]

Gharnef was a former pupil of Gotoh, but due to his lack of a caring heart, he was passed up for inheriting the Aura spell in favor of Miloah. Enraged by this, Gharnef stole the Darksphere and forged from it the spell Imhullu, which corrupted his soul. Gharnef then began his plans to take over the world: first by killing Miloah, then by reviving Medeus and the Dolhr Empire, and then manipulating the rulers of the other nations into betraying Archanea and Altea and siding with Dolhr. Despite his power, however, Gharnef was eventually killed by a member of Marth's army wielding the Starlight spell.

[[spoiler:Years later, it is revealed that Gharnef survived by hiding his soul in the Darksphere, and later used that sphere to corrupt Emperor Hardin of Archanea. Using the war between Archanea and Altea as a distraction, Gharnef kidnapped four maidens (Nyna, Maria, Lena, and Elice) to be sacrificed for Medeus's revival.]]

->'''Class:''' Bishop ([=FE1, FE3 Book 1=]), Dark Mage ([=FE3 Book 2=]), Sorcerer ([=FE11, FE12=])\\
'''Voiced by:''' Minoru Inaba (Audio Drama), Creator/TakeshiAono (Japanese, OVA), Creator/CharlesCampbell (English, OVA)
----
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Gharnef is Gotoh's ex-student.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In the sequel, his soul kept alive by the Darksphere and his body revived by the heretic priests.]]
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Medeus; they're a duumvirate at the very least. Gharnef specifically revives Medeus from his century-long death for this purpose, but it's implied he has plans which transcend Medeus and will (try to) dispose of him once he's done; for his part, since [[OrcusOnHisThrone he cannot leave his castle]] without losing his power or risking death, Medeus pretty much relies on Gharnef to actually execute their plans for dominating Archanea. [[spoiler:In the sequel, he is indisputably the main villain.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The Darksphere is implied to have done this to him. It's also practically his MO, doing this to [[spoiler:Hardin, Eremiya, and to a lesser extent, Arlen in the sequel]].
* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:It's noted by Arlen that reviving a body without the soul would bring forth a monster. Gharnef's soul is trapped by the Darksphere. You do the math.]]
* CripplingOverspecialization: Gharnef might be immune to everything but Starlight, but his stats are significantly lower than what one would expect from a late-game boss. [[spoiler:In the second game, his bishops will spam Fortify staves to try and compensate, so you'll probably have to kill him in one turn.]]
* DarkIsEvil: An EvilSorcerer who uses a dark spell Imhullu crafted from a Darksphere which shoots evil spirits or souls into his victims.
* DisproportionateRetribution: All of this because he was passed over to inherit ''a single tome''?
* EvilMakesYouUgly: It's implied he was handsome or at least normal looking when he was Gotoh's star pupil.
* FountainOfExpies: The progenitor of the franchise's long line of {{gonk}}y, {{obviously evil}} {{sinister minister}}s.
* GoodIsNotNice: Pre-corruption, obviously -- he's been described as having been a just man, but lacking a caring heart.
* MoreThanMindControl: He didn't need any magic to manipulate [[AmbitionIsEvil Michalis]], though.
* NoSell: Imhullu protects him from all damage, save that of Starlight.
* ObviouslyEvil: His portrait in ''Shadow Dragon'' should tell you enough.
* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:Becomes this in ''Mystery of the Emblem''. Conquer the world? Nah, now let's cut Medeus and the Earth Dragons loose to ''destroy'' it.]]
* SendInTheClones: Gharnef creates two clones to confuse the player in Book 1/''Shadow Dragon''. Amusingly, Imhullu's NoSell gives you an easy way to separate the clones from Gharnef - use the item Earthsphere, which does 13 damage to every unit on the map. The real Gharnef won't be injured, but the fake ones don't get that protection.
* SinisterMinister (original games) --> EvilSorcerer (DS remakes)
* SkippableBoss: You don't have to kill him in ''Shadow Dragon'' - and ''can't'' if you don't get Starlight. But if you ''do'' kill him, you get [[InfinityPlusOneSword the much more powerful version of Falchion]].
* StartOfDarkness: He was once a man of justice, but the Darksphere ended up corrupting him after he stole it.
* TheStarscream: Implied to be his ultimate intention against Medeus in ''Shadow Dragon''.

!!King Mannu of Pyrathi ''(Manue)''
[[quoteright:111:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Mannu_1971.gif]]

Mannu is the king of the small isolationist nation of Pyrathi. He regards Marth and his army as "unclean" and attacks them as soon as they arrive.

%%* BeardOfEvil
* FantasticRacism: Seems to regard humans as unclean...
* {{Hypocrite}}: ...except for the army of humans who serve under him.
* InTheHood: Seems to be a thing for male Manaketes.
%%* OurDragonsAreDifferent
* KillItWithFire: Like most living Manaketes, he's a fire dragon.

!!Khozen ''(Shorzen)''
The boss of chapter 11. He is one of the manaketes who serves Medeus. He helps Grust and Dolhr hold Archanea, and only seems to care about incinerating his enemies. He is one of the only boss characters in the game that doesn't start on a throne or a gate, and actually moves on the map.

->'''Class:''' Manakete
----
* AxCrazy: Really seems to be fighting just so he can incinerate humans (or anyone who gets in his way, at least).
%%* InTheHood
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Another fire dragon.
%%* KillItWithFire
* SkippableBoss: One of the few in the game.

!!Volzhin ''(Bozen)''
The boss of chapter 12. He is a bishop leading the forces occupying Archanea and a good example of a human holding authority in Dolhr.

->'''Class:''' Bishop
----
* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: A minor one. In ''Shadow Dragon'', he is labelled as being with the Grust army even though he refers to the might of Dolhr while being fought. Later on, in chapter 15, [[spoiler:Camus]] mentions him as being a general of Dolhr. In [=FE1=] and [=FE3=] Book 1, the chapter 12 enemy army was labeled as Durhua.
%%* BeardOfEvil
* KillItWithFire: He wields a powerful Bolganone tome.
%%* SinisterMinister

!!Heimler ''(Himmler)''
Heimler is a sub-boss in chapter 12 under the service of Volzhin. He was absent in Book 1 of ''Mystery of the Emblem'', replaced by a generic soldier.

->'''Class:''' Paladin
----
* DummiedOut: In Book 1 of ''Mystery of the Emblem''.
* FillerVillain: About as much filler as you can get, really.

!!Dejanira
A boss in chapter 12x. He forced Horace into betraying Archanea and joining Dolhr by holding the villagers hostage.

->'''Class:''' Paladin
----
* FillerVillain: Added in the remake.
* GenderBlenderName: He is named after Heracles' wife.

!!Morzas ''(Moses)''
[[quoteright:107:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FireEmblem_Morzas_8873.gif]]

A cruel Manakete left in charge of Altea Castle after Camus's demotion. He personally killed Queen Liza, Marth and Elice's mother, and executed captives for the smallest of reasons. He is killed by Marth's army as they retake Altea.

->'''Class:''' Manakete
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In [=FE1=] and Book 1, he resembled an old man, but in [=FE11=], he is a much younger and stronger-looking Manakete.
* BeardOfEvil: He had a WizardBeard in the original games, and got an even more evil-looking goatee in ''Shadow Dragon''.
* KickTheDog: His killing of Liza, Marth and Elice's mom.
%%* InTheHood
* MageKiller: Depending on the game, Mage Dragons either have a extremely high Resistance, or flat out void all magic damage.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: A ''Mage'' Dragon.
* PaletteSwap: Reused Mannu's portrait in the original Famicom game.

!!Xemcel ''(Zemsel)''
The boss of chapter 24. He guards Dolhr Keep and is likely taking orders under Medeus himself. He is killed by Marth's army.

->'''Class:''' Manakete
----
%%* BeardOfEvil
%%* InTheHood
* MageKiller: Like Morzas, Mages should stay away from him.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Another Mage Dragon.

* BladeOnAStick: Has a higher lance rank than sword, and comes with a Silver Lance.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Amusingly, his stats aren't that great otherwise. [[spoiler:In the second game, his bishops will spam Fortify staves to try and compensate, so you'll probably have to kill him in one turn.]]

* OfferedTheCrown: [[spoiler:Minerva, Sheema and Nyna leave him the crowns of Macedon, Gra and Archanea, respectively. He also gets the crown of Aurelis, as its King has no heirs.]]

A stoic swordfighter known as the Crimson Fencer who is often found fighting alongside bandits. He seems to hold himself to a moral code of never harming women or children. In ''Mystery of the Emblem'', he appears protecting the dancer Feena. He appears to know Ogma, but how they met is currently unknown.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Feena lampshades it at his expense when they first meet.
* MoralityPet: Feena seems to be this to him.

A woman who was saved from drowning by a group of Archanean villagers. In order to repay their kindness, she vows to save the village's children from the pirates in the area. After working with Marth to defeat the pirates, she insists that he let her in his army. In ''New Mystery'', she can appear in the prologue helping to train the new recruits, and later appears after being ambushed by Kleine.

An Altean mercenary living in a village that is opposed to Arran's village. After the events of ''Shadow Dragon'', he was hired by Princess Sheema of Gra as a bodyguard and eventually fell in love with her.

* BodyguardCrush: Toward Sheema, of course.

* PinkGirlBlueBoy: He's the blue boy for Sheema's pink girl.

The corrupted King of Gra who sided with Dolhr out of fear, then betrayed and personally invaded former closest-ally Altea. He is eventually killed by Marth's army. After the war, his daughter Sheema was instated as ruler.

Ogma is a hard-edged mercenary who leads the mercenary trio Barst, Bord, and Cord. He was a gladiator at first and was drafted to the Talysian army when Caeda stopped several people from punishing him after he aided in Samto's escape. Ogma then dedicated his life to being the princess's bodyguard and was eventually handpicked as the guard of both her and Marth during the latter's quest.

An Altean nobleman and childhood friend of Marth and Elice. He has spent years in Khadein training in magic under Wendell, and is the current holder of the Excalibur spell. In ''Mystery of the Emblem'', he is cornered by his rival Ellerean, but is saved by Marth and Wendell.

A sage of Khadein and the teacher of Merric and Ellerean. He dislikes war, but is forced to fight against his will.

* BadassTeacher: Taught Merric and Ellerean magic.

A respected general of Grust and a close friend of King Mostyn of Talys. Unlike Camus, Lorenz opposed Grust fighting alongside Dolhr, but complied due to his loyalty. When Marth's army does battle with him and Camus, Mostyn's daughter Caeda convinces him to fight alongside them. After the war, he is made regent to Prince Yubello and Princess Yumina; however, in ''Mystery of the Emblem'', he is betrayed by Archanea and starts a rebellion in order to protect the royal siblings from Lang. However, by the time Marth reaches him, he is too wounded to carry on and dies after entrusting Marth with the fate of the children.

The weak king of Grust who sided with Dolhr out of fear. He is never directly seen and seems to have died by the time of ''Mystery of the Emblem''. His children are the twins Yubello and Yumina, who become party members in ''Mystery of the Emblem'' after lots of misadventures.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The Darksphere is implied to have done this to him. It's also practically his MO, doing this to [[spoiler:Hardin, Eremiya, and to a lesser extent, Ellerean in the sequel]].
* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:It's noted by Ellerean that reviving a body without the soul would bring forth a monster. Gharnef's soul is trapped by the Darksphere. You do the math.]]

* PutOnABus: Is not seen at all in book II of ''Mystery of the Emblem'' due to being ill.

%%* HeroesPreferSwords:

* NotSoStoic: Any time his past is brought up.
%%* XMarksTheHero:

* MightyGlacier: In the original. He will never have a good attack speed because Axes have massive weight. In return, he has great base stats, and his growth rate is the best out of the three Axe Brothers in every area but HP, mostly because Bord and especially Cord are poorly balanced in ''Dark Dragon''

* MyMasterRightOrWrong

* FunetikAksent: Speaks in VampireVords and refers to herself in the first person ''plural''... [[UnexplainedAccent for some reason]].
