Since they were the first two Dragons who replied to Nergal's call and now they're stuck at the Elibean side of the Gate in their human forms, Nils and Ninian are now the only known living beings able to open said Gate again and thus ''summon more Dragons to the continent'', which would allow Nergal to take their Quintessence and become the most powerful living being.]]

Moved from Fire Emblem Elibe Blazing Sword Characters Introduced During Lyns Story due to it having an incorrect name.
Added DiffLines:
During Lyn's story, these tropes apply to all characters:
* BadassArmy: Necessary in a ''Fire Emblem'' game.
* NonLethalKO: During Lyn's story, anyone who loses all their hit points is simply rendered unable to fight instead of dead. However, he'll be unable to fight for the rest of her story and join Eliwood with default stats and level rather than earned ones.
* RagtagBandOfMisfits: Lyn assembles a pretty colorful little militia practically by accident.
--> '''Lyn''': "Lyndis's Legion"? This is getting stranger with every day.
* RecurringElement: Most of them are this, and they also play with or subvert the usual tropes that come with early game recruits throughout the series.
!![[HelloInsertNameHere The Tactician]] (Default Name: Mark)
The Tactician was WalkingTheEarth to train their skills as a military strategist. They were ambushed by bandits and found by Lyn, who nursed them back to health. The Tactician would go on to join the armies of the Lords as their strategist. The Tactician is a stand-in for the [[PlayerCharacter player]] with no dialogue or characterization. Many of the cut-scenes either take place from the Tactician's first person point of view or will show the back of the Tactician's head looking out into the scene as a pseudo-first-person point of view.
----
* AmbiguousGender: Their sprite.
* ButNowIMustGo: At the end of the game.
* CanonName: The Tactician's default name is Mark.
* DemotedToExtra: Appears and is mentioned less and less near the middle and last quarter of the game, but lessened a bit at the very end. Yes, this game managed to render the ''[[MindScrew player themselves to be of minimal importance to the overall plot.]]''
* TheFaceless: The Tactician's face is never seen.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: Occasionally, the back of the Tactician's head will be shown in the cutscene, but otherwise no details are given about the Tactician's appearance or background.
* HelloInsertNameHere: Fill in your name, gender, and birth month. If you are playing the Japanese version then you also put in your blood type.
* HeroicMime: Occasionally, the other characters will ask you a question and reply as if you had responded.
* MissionControl: Essentially the character's entire role/purpose. Also somewhat crosses over with TheSmartGuy... unless you get a D/E rank, in which even the ending sequence will mock you.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If you do well enough [[spoiler:Bern and Etruria will go to war after the game's events]] in order to obtain your skills. Of course, Desmond was looking for an excuse to go to war anyway; [[spoiler:you simply provide him with one by fighting Bern's forces and disclosing Bern's national secrets to Etrurian nobility...]]
* OCStandIn: The intended purpose of the Tactician. The Tactician is supposed to be an EscapistCharacter for the player to project themselves into the game, and if you play well in the game, the other characters will lavish praise on you.
* ShipperOnDeck: The game mechanics allow for all the shippers out there to turn their character into a matchmaker. Unless you find the options available... too limiting.
* PlayerCharacter: More of a player avatar. You name them and the characters speak to them through the fourth wall, but they have a minimal role in the overall plot and only appear in cutscenes.
* PurelyAestheticGender: Actually, in this game, there isn't even an aesthetic difference because the Tactician's sprite and artwork is exactly the same regardless of which gender you pick. Some of the characters will react differently to your character based on gender, but otherwise, there is no real impact on the game.
* SilentSnarker: The few times your character shows any personality, it's when a member of your army does something so ridiculous your character is reduced to incredulous staring. Oftentimes, you're joining him.
* TheStrategist: His/Her whole purpose. How successfully they fall into this role is wholly dependent on the player.
* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: Averted by default, but you have the choice of playing through Eliwood and Hector's stories without the Tactician, leaving his fate after Lyn's tale unknown.

->''“Would you not favor me with your name? Or better yet, your company?”''
The first and undeniably the oddest person Lyn meets on her journey, Sain is a gallant cavalier in service to House Caelin, full of "passion and fire," beloved of the populace who sends women swooning... or so he would have you believe. In reality, he amounts to little more than a skirt-chaser. Considered lazy and foolish by his comrades in Caelin's knights, Sain desperately ''wants'' to be a hero (mostly so he can get chicks), it’s just that he isn’t very good at it, at least at first.

* TheBigGuy: Being the most physically powerful of Lyn's core group of five, he fits this role best in "Lyndis' Legions".
* BladeOnAStick: It is, as we all know, the most heroic of ''all'' weapons.
* ButtMonkey: To ''the game engine itself''. He spends a good slice of the [[RightWayWrongWayPair tutorial screwing up, so that Kent can instruct]] the player on what ''not'' to do.
* ChivalrousPervert: You may think that his just a pervert, [[HiddenDepths but at his core, he is a knight.]] He clearly wants to beat the crap out of Marquess Araphen for daring to call Lyn a [[FantasticRacism "nomadic mongrel"]], and in his A support [[spoiler:with Priscilla, she asks if he would be able to abandon Lycia and join her. He tells her he can't [[CryCute and moments later breaks down crying]].]]
* DiscOneNuke: You can give him tons of kills in the Lyn mode, and, in new game+, even promotes him during Lyn mode, and have two Paladins at his early jointime during the main quest. While both he and Kent get this benefit, Sain is generally the preferred choice thanks to his massive STR, and good enough speed. This is quite a popular choice that some even called Lyn Mode "Lets turn Sain into a copy of Marcus".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
-->'''Sain:''' ''"I hail from the Caelin canton, home to men of passion and fire!"''\\
'''Lyn:''' ''"Shouldn't that be 'home to callow oafs with loose tongues'?"''
* HeroesPreferSwords: Though he still does use swords, he [[DefiedTrope defies the trope]] initially by insisting that the lance is the most heroic weapon and thus insisting on using them. [[TacticalRockPaperScissors It doesn't last]]. In a meta-sense, this fits him since the average Sain will have plenty of Speed and Strength but low Skill, making the most accurate weapons the best choices for him.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Kent.
* IncomingHam: Often heard before he's seen, followed by his chat head dashing into view.
* KnightInShiningArmor: He tries, bless him...
* LargeHam: Especially once he realizes that [[HappilyMarried Louise]] is the Countess of Reglay, and, thus, Pent's wife:
-->'''Sain:''' Lady Louise!\\
'''Louise:''' Ah yes. Sir Sain, was it? How fare you?\\
'''Sain:''' Ahh, please! Do not look upon me with those eyes! I... could not bear such sweet agony...\\
'''Louise:''' Oh?\\
'''Sain''' Would that I had met you earlier, I could have... But you are sworn to another! No matter how passionately our love may rage, it can never be!\\
'''Louise:''' I beg your pardon?\\
'''Sain:''' Please, understand my heart! I know you pain with longing... But the pain is doubly so for your aching servant!\\
'''Louise:''' You... know...\\
'''Sain:''' Parting from you wracks my body and my soul... But that is our star-crossed fate... And so, Louise... Forever! And forever! And forever! Let us cherish this moment and live always in its warmth... ''[leaves]''\\
'''Louise:''' My... Cherish I shall... Indeed... What a funny man.
* MatchmakerCrush: His and Kent's B support suggests strongly that he has feelings for Lyn too, but would rather let Kent take the lead.
-->'''Sain:''' Oh, get over it! You can admit it, can't you?! I mean, she is beautiful, and she is kind... How could anyone not have feelings for her? [...] But I guess I will have to let you take the lead here, since that is truly the knightly thing to do for one's partner...
* MrExposition: He and Kent know more than a little about Caelin politics.
* RecurringElement: Half of the Cain and Abel Red and Green Knights duo.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red one, breaking the series' tradition of the green-clad cavalier being the sensible one and the red-clad one being the hot-headed one. Even so, Sain is more of a passionate extrovert than a hothead... Which is complicated when Lowen shows up because he shows signs of both.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Declines in importance as the game increases in seriousness, to the point that, as far as the plot is concerned, he's almost a non-entity following the DiscOneFinalBoss.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Kent, again, following the red cavalier/green cavalier tradition.

->''“Our territory may be small, but our knights are among the bravest!”''
-->-- '''Kent''' to '''Heath''' in a support conversation
Sain's associate, who evidently does the thinking for both of them, Kent is another of the knights sent by Caelin to retrieve Lyn. Kent has a good head on his shoulders and a fair knowledge of battle tactics, which he will gladly explain to you during the ForcedTutorial. He is totally devoted to Lyn's service, something that may simply be duty or may be, as Sain suspects, a sign of attraction.
->'''Class:''' Cavalier
----
* ApologisesALot: To Farina in their supports.
* BirdsOfAFeather: He and Fiora bond over their [[TeamMom extremely-similar]] [[TeamDad personalities]] in their supports. In their B-rank support, they agree to have a meeting to create a new policy to curtail the blossoming, unprofessional romances in the army in Kent's tent... at night... alone... Rank A has the aftermath of OneThingLedToAnother.
* BodyguardCrush: Well, Sain says so, at least. Confirmed if he and Lyn get an A support, since she sets off to Sacae with him after they leave Caelin in Hector's care.
* CloudCuckooLandersMinder: Has to deal with Sain's ChivalrousPervert tendencies.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sain, as shown in their supports.
* JackOfAllStats: The most balanced of all of the mounted units, but the only one that doesn't excel in anything, either.
* KnightInShiningArmor: He actually lives up to this, instead of just
* TheLancer: In Lyn's core group, though he's less prone to being argumentative than most Lancers (tending to fight with TheBigGuy instead). Of course, being a knight, he feels it's not his place to dissent, anyway.
* MrExposition: He sets up the succession plot in Lyn's story, as well as giving the player instruction about the [[TacticalRockPaperScissors Weapon Triangle]] in the tutorial.
* OppositesAttract: If paired up with Farina, a fact that she points out.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue one to Sain's red. This is a notable inversion of the usual Red Knight/Green Knight dynamic, where the Red Knight is usually the hot blooded one.
* RecurringElement: Half of the Cain and Abel Red and Green Knights duo.
* TheStoic: To a fault. Sain lampshades it once when he comments that Kent will age too quickly considering how much he worries.
** SugarAndIcePersonality: Comes as this with Lyn, and later with Fiora.
* TeamDad: The long-suffering StraightMan to Sain's BromanticFoil, and Lyn's chief steward throughout her campaign. His supports with Fiora emphasize this, as well as their similarity to one another.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Sain, following the red cavalier/green cavalier tradition.

A childhood friend of Lyn's from Ilia. The first Pegasus Knight to join the group, she pledges her support to Lyn due to their friendship. After helping her against Lundgren, she stays with Lyn until Nergal rises up. As Castle Caelin is under attack, Florina manages to escape and reach for Eliwood's crew.
->'''Class:''' Pegasus Knight\\
'''Voiced by:''' Nao Shiroki (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/JulieMaddalena (''English, VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
----
* {{Adorkable}}: She gets nervous and awkward around strangers, especially men. And it's just adorable.
* BadassAdorable: Despite her personality, Florina packs a surprising punch in battle. A big part of her CharacterDevelopment involves her trying to build up the confidence to become the best Pegasus Knight she can be.
* BodyguardCrush: Could be interpreted with Lyn if shipped.
* TheChick: In Lyn's core five and that doesn't stop her from being an efficient fighter, though.
* CrashIntoHello: This is how she meets Hector.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Though not in a malevolent sense. She's just pretty darn intimidated by them, [[CharacterDevelopment at first]]. Even the choice of the Tactician's gender will influence her dialogue with him/her.
* FirstGirlWins: If paired with Hector (though Lyn is a pretty close second).
* FragileSpeedster: Between the 3 pegasus sisters, Florina has the highest Speed growth. However, she also has a catastrophic Defense growth and the lowest HP growth, which means that if she doesn't avoid attacks, she will die quickly. In fact, she is very likely to get killed in one hit early in the game.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: If she's not shipped with Lyn, then this is how their relationship is interpreted.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The 'tiny girl' half with Hector, if they are shipped.
* LoveInterest: She may become one of Hector's.
* MoeCouplet: Her supports with Lyn, Serra, Ninian, and Nino not only multiply her own {{Moe}}, they help share it with the other girl. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming The results are often spectacular.]]
* PluckyGirl
* RecurringElement: Essentially Lyn's Caeda. She's also Est overall as the [[ThreeFacesOfEve childlike youngest pegasus sister.]]
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Primarily with Lyn, but also with Serra, Nino, and Ninian.
* RunningGag: Her support conversations with Hector have her repeatedly try to work up the courage to thank him for saving her. Except she's so bashful, that she runs away each time he shows up.
* ShrinkingViolet: Mostly because she's been [[RaisedByDudes raised by ladies]], and the Pegasi Knight units are all-female squads for obvious reasons.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Lyn, Farina, and Serra's Tomboy.
* WeaponOfChoice
** BladeOnAStick: Default for Pegasi Knights.

A young archer from Pherae, he left his village a few years ago to earn his fortune. Met Lyn in a squabble with some bandits in Bern, and after defeating them he joined her retinue even coining the name 'Lyndis' Legions'. [[spoiler:He's the childhood friend of Rebecca and her brother Dan, the latter of whom he left with before they were separated.]]
->'''Class:''' Archer
----
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Develops into one in his supports with Raven.
* TheDeterminator: In his Supports with Rath, he strives to learn to shoot horseback despite struggling to do so. In his Supports with Wallace, he strives to train despite the immense regimen the former General puts him through (it also gives him a sense for his own limits.)
* TheDitz: Especially emphasized in his supports with Raven, though it may just be that he's contrasted with one of the game's most unhappy characters.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Some of his Supports reveal he's quite unsure of himself and really lacking confidence. Nonetheless, this also gives him vibes of...
* TheGenericGuy: Subverted. He doesn't seem to have a lot of edges to him on the surface, [[spoiler:but delving into his tangled backstory through the supports with Rebecca and Dart reveals some serious HiddenDepths.]]
* {{Keet}}: A downplayed example, as he does [[HiddenDepths have his serious moments]]. However, Wil can be ''quite'' energetic at times, as seen in his supports with Rath and Wil (and noted in his Lyn's Story ending).
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:He's so ashamed of having left his family without warning and not even fulfilling his motivations for doing so, that he hasn't made contact with them in five years even though he told Lyn he'd send word. Finally does so with some persuasion from Lyn, in their A Support]].
* NiceGuy: One of the most stable and all-around 'normal' characters in the game. He's even implied to get along fairly well with Florina, even though they don't exactly fall on the right end of the [[TacticalRockPaperScissors Weapons spectrum]]...
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Though Wil is not unusable and has fairly decent Strength, Rebecca is much faster, Louise is relatively RNG-proof, and Rath has access to swords and more mobility.
* RecurringElement: Of Gordin gameplay wise, though not in terms of his relationships. He can be the father of Roy's Gordin who plays the trope much straighter in the sequel.
* SempaiKouhai: Tries to develop this with Raven. It doesn't work.
* TheSmartGuy: He's [[StreetSmart pretty world-wise]], anyway, and so sort of fits this role in Lyn's group.
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: With Rebecca, if they get an A Support.
* WhatTheHellHero: Lyn and Rebecca call him out for [[spoiler:leaving his home behind and never making contact with her or his family. It works]].

[[caption-width-right:266:''[[GentleGiant Serene Warrior]]'']]
A quiet but kind man from Bern, who joins a band of brigands to make money for his IllGirl wife, Natalie. Has a change of heart after meeting Lyn and joins her group. At some point between Lyn's story and Eliwood's story, he and Natalie moved from Bern to Pherae. In Eliwood's story, he joins early on, still making money to help his wife.
->'''Class:''' Fighter
----
* AnAxeToGrind: He starts with a hand-axe, giving him the ability to attack from a distance. He can be promoted to use bows, also letting him attack from a distance.
* TheBigGuy: In the early stages of both Lyn and Eliwood's stories.
* CrutchCharacter: Possesses high stats for his level and recruitment times in all three modes. Unfortunately, they don't help in any way for his atrocious growths in everything but HP and Strength.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Owing largely to the Fire Emblem commercial, Dorcas finished 12th in the male section of the fan voting of the Fire Emblem Heroes Choose Your Legends poll and 21st overall, ahead of protagonist Eliwood and the 3rd most popular character overall from Blazing Blade, behind Hector and Lyn.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: It's actually possible in Hard Mode for Dorcas to [[AccidentalMurder kill his wife]] in the map where you find him, simply because his AI sees her as an enemy before you recruit him. Ooooops.
* GentleGiant: He's only fighting for money to pay for Natalie's medicine. His supports show him to be a very kind-hearted man who asks for almost nothing in return as long as he can help her.
* GlassCannon: Like most Fighters, he has high HP and Strength coupled with low Defence and Resistance. It's only made worse in his case because he has the lowest Speed growth in the game (tied with Wallace), so he can only really hit once, but hard.
* HeelFaceTurn: He's the first recruitable enemy in the game. He's so guilty about being a bandit that all it takes is a good talking-to to get him to change sides.
* HonourBeforeReason: In his Supports with [[spoiler:Farina, he insists on making enough money to pay her back for her charity, even those she's initially willing to let him be]].
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Implied, with his wife Natalie.
* LadyAndKnight: Natalie is just a GirlNextDoor, but his willingness to protect her invokes the trope ''very'' strongly.
* NiceGuy: It really shows in his supports, which tend to be with far less kind characters.
* PapaWolf: Is initially willing to do anything, no matter how bad, to help his wife. Lyn only snaps him out of it by persuading him that his wife would not forgive him for it. Even then, he [[spoiler:declines an offer by Oswin to join Ostia's knights, stating that he fights only for his wife.]]
* TheQuietOne: He barely says a word even in conversation.
* RecurringElement: Half of the Bord and Cord duo with Bartre in Eliwood's Mode. In Lyn's story, however, he's by himself, and he's very gentle at heart compared to prior axe fighters.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Bartre's Manly Man.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Him and Bartre.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: At first though he almost became a KnightTemplar over it. Lyn managed to talk him out of it, though.

A loud, obnoxious priestess in service to Ostia who hired Erk to be her escort. They met Lyn and joined her party after dealing with a group of bandits near the Bern border. She later joins Eliwood's party by proxy of joining Hector on his quest. Although many characters (and gamers) find her intolerable, she has pains within that she hides from the world...
->'''Class:''' Cleric\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AriOzawa (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/KateHiggins (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
----
* AwfulTruth: Her A supports with Hector and Lucius strongly imply she's aware that [[spoiler:her parents weren't fallen nobility, rather they were too impoverished to look after her. Thus, her haughty attitude is likely [[JerkassFacade a coping mechanism]] to keep from having to face the truth of why they abandoned her]].
* CryCute: Seen during her A supports with Hector, Lucius, and Oswin. The first two instances having to do with [[spoiler:the truth about why she was raised in an orphanage]]. But in Oswin's case, it's because she thought he genuinely didn't like her, due to always being so harsh towards her.
* TheDreaded: PlayedForLaughs, during a scene where Hector is stationed at an abandoned cabin. If you have Serra's unit investigate it, Hector hides from her [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall when he hears her]] {{leitmotif}}, and doesn't come out until after she leaves.
* FallenPrincess: Assuming she's telling the truth about her parents being Etrurian nobility and why they [[spoiler:left her in the care of a convent, when she was a child]].
* TheGadfly:
** She's a constant source of irritation for her disgruntled bodyguard, Erk, due to her incessant prodding. At one point, he even offers to refund the gold she paid him for his protection, but she refuses to let him off the hook.
-->'''Serra:''' "No! You're ''my'' escort, Erk. '''[[ItsAllAboutMe MINE!!]]'''"
** Matthew's in the same boat, since gets stuck with her too, during Hector's chapters. Made funnier when he tries to drop hints about how much she annoys him, except she assumes he's referring to someone else.
-->'''Matthew: (hinting)''' "Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to Lord Hector about that... about how difficult it is to have to work with distractions. You know... "distractions"?"
-->'''Serra: (misses the point entirely)''' "I know! I feel the same way. We should go see Hector and complain about it together. Come along, Matthew."
-->'''Matthew [[FlatWhat watches her leave]]'''
-->'''Matthew: (aloud, to himself)''' "She's not bad looking... if only she'd shut. Up."
* GenkiGirl: Serra fidgets a lot. During her supports, she's often seen bouncing in place which annoys Erk and Matthew, who both tell her to keep still.
* GirlishPigtails: To really drive home that yes, she's a 16 year old cleric.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: If paired up with the MightyGlacier Oswin. Doubles as MayDecemberRomance because she's 16 and he's in his 30's. Which is made funny when he almost immediately regrets telling her that a lot of men like her and she assumes (somewhat correctly) that he does too.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She seems to mean well, but often makes biting remarks without thinking first. Though Erk's convinced that she does it on purpose to annoy him.
* JerkassFacade: She asserts that she's Etruian nobility and demands those around her show her proper respect, due her station. However, it may all just be a facade [[spoiler:to keep from facing the possibility that she's really an orphan]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Her Supports with Lucius cement her status as this. Also her supports with Florina, where she helps her open up. At the end of Hector's, she's in tears and her first thought afterwards is to rush into the field to tend to the wounded. And in the Final Battle, her pre-fight quote is a surprisingly humble prayer to Elimine to get the best and safest outcome that is not unlike ''Lucius's'' own.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Rather than the usual music that plays during support scenes, Serra has her very own theme plays during hers, which fits [[GenkiGirl her personality]] to a T.
* MagicalGirlWarrior: After promotion, when she gets to shoot back with holy lasers.
* MagikarpPower: Her offensive capabilities are nonexistent until she gets promoted to Bishop, but once she does...
* MeaningfulName: "Serra" means "saw" in Latin (as in, the cutting tool), and she is about as abrasive as one.
* OddFriendship: Despite her noisy and boisterous ways, Serra can become good friends with Florina, to the point of RomanticTwoGirlFriendship, and with the gentle priest Lucius.
* ParentalAbandonment: [[FreudianExcuse It causes her a lot of angst and is the source of her irritable personality]].
* RecurringElement: Gameplay-wise, a Lena, given her availability and stats. On the other hand, her extroverted and abrasive personality is a first for the archetype, with the troubadour (Priscilla in this case) being the demure and restrained one.
* RosehairedSweetie: Her in-game character portrait depicts her with pink hair, but in her official art, it's light purple. And she is a sweetie, deep down. (VERY deep down.)
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: She is the Energetic Girl to Erk during Lyn's story, then briefly to Matthew at the start of Hector's story.
* SecondLove: It's possible for her to end up being [[spoiler:Matthew]]'s, if you get their A level support.
* ShipperOnDeck: Her supports with Sain show her as vying for a LoveTriangle between Hector, Eliwood, and Lyndis.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Acts like one, but it's a bit more complicated than that.
** StepfordSmiler: A type A. She appears cheery and bitchy, but is more insecure than she'd like you to know.
* TrueCompanions: Her relationship with Hector, as [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming seen in their A Support]].
* {{Tsundere}}: Particularly towards Erk and Matthew.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: For all their bickering, she has a soft spot for Erk. If you clear the game after getting their A support, it's said that she couldn't forget him and they MarryForLove.
* WellDoneSonGuy: The person whose approval she most desperately yearns for is Oswin. In their B support, when he harshly scolds her, her self-esteem is shattered and it takes her almost their whole A support to regain it.
-->'''Serra''': ... I want to talk to you, but... all you ever do is tell me everything I'm doing wrong... You don't like anything I do, right? So... So... ... ... ... ... ...... *sniff*...
* WellExcuseMePrincess: It shows in her slow relationship growths.

A young studying mage, the only student of the Mage General of Etruria, Lord Pent. First appears as Serra's escort, helping Lyn's party thereafter.
Later, while escorting Priscilla, they end up stuck in Laus due to its corrupt Marquess being infatuated with his employer. He and Priscilla join Eliwood's party in exchange for their assistance, also hoping that it may help her in finding her missing family. He's often quite uptight, but mellows around people he's closer towards.
->'''Class:''' Mage
----
* BadassBookworm: Louise mentions the fact that Erk is constantly studying, to the point that he sometimes neglects to eat, or rest. So she actually had to ''make him'' take a break to at least get some fresh air.
* BelligerentSexualTension: After all his griping about her, his ending says he couldn't concentrate on his studies due to all the quiet, now that Serra was no longer around. So he tracks her down and marries her!
* BodyguardCrush: Sort of an inverted example with Priscilla, though he eventually catches on as well.
** Subverted with Serra, as she's a potential bride of his but not only is he {{tsundere}} towards her, he falls for her after he has ''stopped'' being her bodyguard.
* CantStandThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Serra annoys the hell out of him, but he likes her a lot more than he lets on. He openly says that he believes he's the only one who'd look after someone like her in their A support.
* TheComicallySerious: All the frigging time, especially when it comes to you-know-who:
-->'''Serra:''' "But I have to look after you, Erk. You're so moody and quiet, no one would notice if you starved. So I have to make sure that you don't."
-->'''Erk: (deadpan)''' "It's the same for me: I have to look after you, because [[TheGadfly you're so annoying]] that if you disappeared, no one would care. So I have to make sure you don't."
-->'''Serra: (stunned)''' "You... don't mean that."
-->'''Erk: (petulant)''' "It's no worse than what ''you'' said!"
* DeadpanSnarker: Most evidently in his interactions involving Serra:
-->'''Lyn:''' Why are [Erk and Serra] fighting these bandits?\\
'''Erk:''' ... It just happened.
* DefrostingIceKing: Towards Priscilla and Nino, both of whom draw out his kinder, protective side.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Savvy Guy to Serra.
* HappilyAdopted: By Pent and Louise.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: A little bit. At one point he says he will never be as good at magic as his master is. Kind of justified; see MasterOfNone below.
* HonorBeforeReason: If he gets taken out in Lyn's story, even after dealing with an annoying Serra and getting heavily injured, he'll return the money paid to him for his bodyguard fee before leaving.
* KillItWithFire[=/=]ShockAndAwe: for the vast majority of the game, the Fire and Thunder tomes- joined later by Elfire- are Erk's WeaponOfChoice. More powerful ones like [[KillItWithIce Fimbulvetr]] and [[InfinityPlusOneSword Excalibur]] are typically reserved for use against boss-type opponents.
* LoveEpiphany: In his ending with Serra, he didn't realize that he was in love with her 'til after she was gone, because he couldn't stand the peace and quiet!
* MasterOfNone: Relatively balanced, as Mages in this series go, though he can max his Speed stat. This comes back to bite him in the main story, where he tends to be overlooked by many players in favor of Pent, who is essentially Erk except already trained.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Erk is utterly amazed by Nino's natural talent for magic, and noted that her ability had already exceeded his own, despite being younger than himself. And was surprised to learn she was mostly self-taught. And he's certain he'll never be as good a wizard as his master, Pent. Also true in gameplay terms, where he's seen as [[MasterOfNone competent, but unremarkable]], especially since his competition is [[JackOfAllStats Pent]] and [[MagikarpPower Nino]].
* ParentalSubstitute: Pent and Louise are essentially his adoptive parents, and they treat him as such. Especially Louise, who actively dotes over him.
* TheStoic: He's completely unflappable most of the time. However...
** NotSoStoic: Serra is particularly good at pushing his buttons.
* RecurringElement: Lyn's Merric more or less. Compared to early game mages before him, he's quite snarky and dour, whereas most before him are either naive young children or more openly kind adults.
* StraightMan: His deadpan reactions to the almost literally constant cavalcade of nonsense that is his life in [=FE7=] makes him practically the FE equivalent of Arthur Dent.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: A male variant.
* WellDoneSonGuy: The reason Erk pushes himself so hard in his studies, is because he's trying to live up to Pent's expectations of him. However, Pent finds it unnecessary since he and his wife, Louise, are already proud of him.

Eventually became Captain of the Palace Guard at Araphen, where he met Lyn during an attack by Lundgren. He joined her party after witnessing the extent of his liege-lord's bigotry, and disappeared after her defeat of Lundgren before re-emerging as a mercenary and rejoining the group on her behalf.
->'''Class:''' Nomad
----
* AloofAlly: Has strikes of this when his quiet personality, and being absent for most of the scenes. Mostly shown at the end of Lyn's story where he [[spoiler:slips out, unknown what happened to him.]]
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: [[spoiler:Deconstructed. When his tribe's diviner saw a dark omen in the stars, Rath, as the Chieftain's son, was required to leave so that he would help prevent it coming to pass. Needless to say, he does so.... but since it took place when he was four years old, it made him as anti-social as he is.]]
* BowAndSwordInAccord: When/if he gets promoted.
* [[TheChiefsDaughter The Chief's Son]]: The son of Dayan, Chief of the Kutolah from the previous game.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Of a sort, he served as Captain of the Guard at Araphen until he realised his liege-lord would never see Sacaens as anything but savages, [[YouAreACreditToYourRace in spite of his exception in Rath's case]].
* DiscOneNuke: In Lyn's story. He joins at a pretty high level ''and'' is both able to move fast through the field and snipe the enemies rather reliably.
* DoomedByCanon: In 6, Sue expresses concern about her grandfather, but not her father, fighting with Bern. This seems to imply that he's dead by that time, which would also explain why Dayan is still Chief of the Kutolah.
* HiredGuns: Works as one for the year in between Lyn's story and Eliwood's/Hector's story.
* HorseArcher: Like most of the men of the Kutolah.
* MysteriousProtector: Plays this role for Lyn's story.
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:He was sent out of his tribe- before he was even ''four''- because, as the Chieftan's son, he had a duty to prevent the world's destruction]].
* PerpetualFrowner: Lyn [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades]] it.
* PunnyName: [[MemeticMutation Feel my]] [[RunningGag RATH!!]] Go find a Website/YouTube video of when he recruits, and see if the title or description does not have that along the lines.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Albeit more soft-spoken than most, he's very proud of his Kutolah blood and [[BerserkButton does NOT take it well]] when someone speaks badly of Sacae.
* RescueRomance: With Lyn, if they have an A Support.
* SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler:If Rath stays in the main party until the story's end, he returns to his tribe to receive a warm welcome from his fellow tribesmen, particularly his father]].
* TheStoic: Silent and stone-faced all the time.
** SugarAndIcePersonality: Towards Lyn in particular. Also shows his ''dere'' side to Wil, in their Supports.

A mischievous and sly young man, good at catching info and stealing things. He's actually one of the top spies of Ostia, who first aids Lyndis and tells his lords about what happened, then pledges his loyalty to Hector and joins him in his quest. For some odd reason, he speaks with British slang.
->'''Class:''' Thief\\
'''Voiced by:''' Souichirou Hoshi (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/BenDiskin (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
----
* AntiHero: Due to some... questionable actions he takes. Overall, though, he's a pretty swell guy.
* CombatPragmatist: Much to Guy's irritation, Matthew accepted a challenge and then ambushed Guy while he was asleep to teach him that he won't last long if he expects people in war to fight fair.
* FragileSpeedster: He has the best Speed growth of the game (along with Guy and Nils/Ninian), which allows him to evade attacks with ease after a few level ups. However, he is rather frail, and spear users will do a number on him.
* GuileHero: Demonstrated most strongly in the first chapter of Hector's story, sensing the Fang assassins in the castle, and knowing that they wouldn't show themselves until Hector was alone, he seemed to leave immediately after Hector refuses his aid (knowing full well he'd be turned down), and reappeared only after they'd revealed themselves to Hector. When Hector confronts him over it, he openly confessed as much.
* HiddenDepths: He's not necessarily as cheerful as he seems to be.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: [[spoiler:His girlfriend Leila is cut down during her last mission, right before he was going to ask her to give up being a spy so they could be together. He deeply regrets not doing so sooner.]]
* MusclesAreMeaningless: A weird inversion; as a thief, Matthew's strength growth is lower than most, but in his artwork, he's quite well-built.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's pretty silly at first glance, but he hides a shrewd and devious mind.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He's at least in his early-to-mid 20's, as stated in the artbooks, and his supports with Hector and Oswin belie an surprisingly knightly persona for someone of his class.
* RecurringElement: The low-level thief who joins the story early on; in Matthew's case, not only is he more noble and generally older than thieves before him, he's also under Ostia's employ as a spy, as opposed to being a ragtag thief from the streets.
* {{Revenge}}: A huge theme in his supports with [[spoiler:Jaffar, the guy who killed his girlfriend Leila.]]
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:Has an NPC love interest as of the start of the story. Can still end up paired with Serra at the end, as said NPC dies. He is slightly annoyed by this outcome.]]
** MayDecemberRomance: [[spoiler:That "other" unit is a 16-year-old girl. As mentioned above, Matthew himself is in his 20's so they are a May-September deal.]]
* SixthRanger: In Lyn's story, where he's the only character outside the core group and main characters to appear afterwards. Also functions as such since he basically invited himself and Lyn didn't trust him at first (due to his being a thief... or so she thought at first).
* TheSmartGuy: His role in Lyn's tale. It's best seen when he skips out on a battle to gather information that proves crucial to figuring out Lundgren's plans and prevents Lyn from blundering into certain death in Lundgren-controlled Caelin.
* {{Trickster}}: Specially obvious in his supports with Hector.
* UndyingLoyalty: To House Ostia, and Hector in particular.

A quiet, kind, but also very stubborn monk from the Saint Elimine Order, whom we meet as he ([[DudeLooksLikeALady YES, HE]]) joins Lyndis's group after seeing Nils being mistreated by scared townspeople. Later, he appears again as the travelling companion of a troubled man named Raven.
->'''Class:''' Monk\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ToaYukinari (Japanese,''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
----
* AllLovingHero: Many of his supports are with... difficult people, like [[AlphaBitch Serra]], [[ByronicHero Raven]], [[AxeCrazy Karel]], and [[DarkAndTroubledPast Renault]]. He ultimately befriends them all, and rarely shows anything but kindness and compassion to them despite their frequent unfriendliness.
* {{Bishonen}}: See DudeLooksLikeALady.
* BreakTheCutie: His backstory, in which [[spoiler:his dad dies in front of him, his IllGirl mom dies a few years later, he's sent to an OrphanageOfFear and is bullied there, then is employed by the Cornwell House, only to lose them too, and is now only able to watch as Raymond is consumed by bitterness...]]
* CrossdressingVoices: In [[Creator/ToaYukinari Japanese]] averted in [[Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas English]].
* {{Determinator}}: He manages to pull through all the crap life has thrown at him, and his B support with Raven is about [[spoiler:finally calling him out on his purposes and refusing to take it anymore. So much that Raven actually has to drop his JerkAss attitude and pretty much apologize to him for pushing him away.]]
* DoomedByCanon: Implied. [[spoiler:He starts an orphanage in Araphen in his ending. In ''Sword of Seals'', Lugh used to live in an orphanage in Araphen and it is explained that the Father who took care of it was killed by Bern's troops for resisting.]]
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Sweet holy mother. (As Serra points out, it's really the hips and hair that do it.)
* {{Forgiveness}}: Even upon learning that it was [[spoiler:Bishop Renault]] who had orphaned him, Lucius was still capable of forgiving [[spoiler:him]].
* FriendToAllChildren: Joins Lyn's army because he feels he must intervene to save Nils and Ninian. If he does not have an A level support ending, he opens an orphanage.
* GlassCannon: Likely to end up as this, since his Defense is almost nonexistent and his HP tends to be low ''even for a SquishyWizard'' while his Magic, Skill, and Speed stand out. High Skill also adds up to more critical hits, on top of Light magic getting lots of them already, train him and watch him two-shot or straight-up crit-to-death many enemies with just the basic Lightning tome! On top of it, when you promote him to Bishop he starts with a C rank in staff use. Meaning it'll take Lucius next to no time to use high-rank staves like the ''very'' useful Physic and Fortify ''and'', once he gets his hands on them, he'll cover a LARGE are thanks to his high Magic. He may not be able to take it in, but HOLY HELL he can dish it out as both a fighter and a healer.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A rare male example, otherwise played straight as an arrow.
* HeavenlyBlue: Rather than the usual ManInWhite that male clerics and bishops tend to be, he wears a long, pale blue robe.
* HiredGuns: Surprisingly, [[spoiler:He becomes a mercenary with Raven if he manages to convince him to not seek revenge against House Ostia.]]
* InnocentBlueEyes: One of the gentlest {{Nice Guy}}s in the game, and he's got the soft blue eyes to match.
* LightEmUp: As a Monk, he uses light magic.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: His long hair only makes him look even more feminine.
* NiceGuy: He's got nothing but compassion for everyone he interacts with.
* RapunzelHair: Said long hair happens to reach down to his hips.
* SilkHidingSteel: Would you believe that this super soft-spoken and kind guy is more than able to [[spoiler:make a hard-boiled, embittered mercenary who doubles as his lord-of-liege to ''back off his years-long plans of revenge'']]? And he does it via pretty much giving said person one HECK of a "WhatTheHellHero" speech?
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Serra's mind is ''blown'' when she finds out Lucius is a guy. It's possibly the funniest moment in the game.
!!Nils
[[quoteright:266:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Nils_3910.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:266:''[[LivingMacGuffin Child of Destiny]]'']]
A young and cute ministrel who works as a travelling performer with his beautiful older sister, Ninian. They seem to have ''really'' lousy luck, however, as a mysterious group is hell-bent on capturing them for Gods-know-what purposes. After Lyn and Eliwood help to rescue Ninian, they stay with the group until Lyndis reclaims her place in Caelin, then they leave quietly... and are soon back to their runaway status, due to their mysterious past and link to this mysterious group that is all about hunting them down, the Black Fang.
Said past is as follows: [[spoiler:Nils and Ninian are the offspring of a dragon woman and a human man. During The Scouring, their mother Aenir was taken away and their dad went missing in search of her, so they crossed the Dragons's Gate with their people and rebuilt their lives there among their fellow Dragons. However, they were summoned back by a mysterious man: Nergal, the lead of the organization that wants them. Since they were the first two Dragons who replied to Nergal's call and now they're stuck at the Elibean side of the Gate in their human forms, Nils and Ninian are now the only known living beings able to open said Gate again and thus ''summon more Dragons to the continent'', which would allow Nergal to take their Quintessence and become the most powerful living being.]]
->'''Class:''' Bard
----
* AnIcePerson: [[spoiler:He's half Ice Dragon, just like his sister.]]
* BreakTheCutie: Between him and Ninian, it's hard to know who's more screwed over by the plot. Only Nino and Lucius can compare.
* [[BarrierMaiden Barrier Lord]]: [[spoiler:This fits him better than DistressedDude as he and Ninian are not only unable to attack but they're ''both'' wanted for their half-Dragon heritage, which means they're the only ones in-story able to open the Dragon's Gate and allow other dragons to go through it.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: We meet him as this cute ministrel who joins the group as thanks for them helping him and his sister. Later, both he and Ninian turn out to be ''vital'' to the plot.
* FragileSpeedster: His resistance to direct hits isn't exactly the best. On the other hand, he's got such high Speed and Luck that it's VERY hard to hit him, and his Magic Resistence is pretty decent.
* HalfHumanHybrids: His and Ninian's mom was Aenir,[[spoiler:a dragon woman. Their dad was a human shaman... Nergal.]]
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler:To the BrainwashedAndCrazy Ninian. Easily the boy's CrowningMomentOfAwesome.]]
* IllBoy: In ''Kinship's Bond'', he has a huge seizure and must be protected.
* [[BigBrotherInstinct Little Brother Instinct]]: He's fiercely protective of the older sister [[PromotionToParent who raised him]]. So much that once he almost ''yells'' at Eliwood when he accidentally puts pressure on her.
* [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Mad Shaman's Cute Son.]]: It's never outright stated, but it is strongly implied that he's [[spoiler:Nergal]]'s son.
* MysteriousWaif: When we first meet him, it seems like a nondescript gang of thugs is after him. We quickly find out that there's a lot more at stake than child abduction, however.
** MysticalWaif His ability to [[spoiler:open the Dragon's gate]] is of HUGE importance plot-wise.
* NonActionGuy: Incapable of combat in-game.
* OracularUrchin: He has a weak precognitive ability. He even takes over as your group's fortune teller when Hannah decides she's had enough of all the danger.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Much older. [[spoiler:Being half-dragon, he's centuries old.]]
* RecurringElement: The [[NonActionGuy non-combat unit]]; while Elphin from ''Binding Blade'' beat him out as the first non-dancer/male support unit, Nils still joins the story much, ''much'' earlier compared to both Elphin and any of the dancers that came before him.
* TheSmartGuy: Of the main cast between the three lords and himself and Ninian.
* StatusBuff: Once he [[spoiler:replaces Ninian]], he gets to use some spiffy rings to enhance your statuses.
* [[WhiteMagicianGirl White Magician Boy]]: He has the personality, the support ability skillset, the lack of combat skills, ''and'' is a MysticalWaif.
* SpiderSense: He can sense imminent danger, although he can't do anything about it. [[spoiler:Usually.]]
* WaifProphet: Thanks to his ability to see the future. It's not very strong, however, and he normally can't avert the future he sees.

[[quoteright:266:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Wallace_1346.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:266:''[[BoisterousBruiser Crag of Caelin]]'']]
A loud, brash, and powerful knight who was the long-time commander of the Caelin Knights. He retired some time ago to work on his farm, but Lundgren tried to rope him into his conspiracy to kill Lyn. Upon meeting her, though, he decides to do the right thing and stay with her crew...
->'''Class:''' Knight (for all of ten seconds before you're forced to promote him in the ForcedTutorial, unless you go for Hard Mode).
----
* TheBigGuy: Of Lyn's group. He's the only Armor Knight you can recruit until the main story and is essentially a pre-promote General if you're doing the tutorial.
* BadassBoast: "AHAHAHAHAHA! Look! A giant walks among you! Come on! Break your weapons against me!"
* BaldOfAwesome
* BloodKnight: A heroic version.
* BoisterousBruiser: You'll hear him coming a mile away.
* CallToAgriculture: He's retired to a life of farming until Lundgren calls on him to kill a "usurper."
* CrutchCharacter: When you first get him, he's essentially indestructible, even more so if you are forced to promote him during the ForcedTutorial. If you want, you can use him to defeat the remaining bosses in Lyn's story with little to no trouble. It is made better if you play Lyn's hard mode as it doesn't force you to promote him. You can get him to level 14 or 15 by the end of her campaign and then you may want to promote him which is definitely better than promoting him at level 12.
* DiscOneNuke: He can remain usable if you play through Lyn's hard mode.
* FourStarBadass: His in-universe rank is general. And AuthorityEqualsAsskicking is in full effect on this one.
* GuestStarPartyMember: The only character from Lyn's storyline who it's possible to never encounter in Eliwood's. If you want him back, don't train your Lords much. And he joins Lyn's party just two chapters before the end, at that, and is probably one of the strongest characters you'll have at that time. Naturally, he's less than impressive when he returns.
* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:His attack on the Taliver Bandits who had killed his friends Hassar and Madelyn.]]
* LargeHam
* MemeticBadass: Considered one in-universe, to the extent that he's basically a living legend among the Caelin knights.
* MightyGlacier: True to his class, he's strong and tough, but painfully slow.
* NoSenseOfDirection: And boy, does the game take this trope and [[PlayingWithATrope play with it to Hell and back]]. Why, just to rub the joke directly in your ''face'', you even have an Elimine-forsaken ''FogOfWar'' on ''both'' maps where [[FridgeBrilliance Wallace is potentially recruitable]]!
** ObfuscatingStupidity: His sense of direction was good enough for him to [[spoiler:find and slaughter the Taliver Bandits]], however.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:The aforementioned slaughter of the Taliver Bandits.]]
* RecurringElement: Your first armored knight; in Wallace's case, he's the last to join in Lyn's story as opposed to being with you from the start, and unless you're playing on Hard mode, you're forced to promote him.
* RetiredBadass: Had left the Caelin military to live peacefully in the countryside, then joined Lyn's group. And, in the very end, he becomes this again, when he winds up in [[GrimUpNorth Ilia]], and decides to spend the rest of his days as a farmer there.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Upon meeting Lyn, he decides to turn on Lundgren. His support conversations with Kent reveal that [[spoiler:he had also disobeyed Lord Hausen to aid and abet Madelyn's and Hassar's elopement.]]
* ShootTheDog: [[spoiler:In his A-support with Lyn he reveals he killed every single member of the Taliver Bandits, expressly for the purpose of preventing Lyn from getting that much blood on her hands]].
* TenMinuteRetirement: Lyn's actions called him back into service, and he found then that he still enjoyed fighting. He spent another year looking for fights (or maybe just one fight in particular...) before he finally settled down for good after Nergal's defeat.
* TookALevelInBadass: According to his supports with [[spoiler:Renault]], he was very waifish as a kid and even bullied because of that. 30 years later, he's a HUGE badass.
* ThreeAmigos: With [[spoiler:Lyn's parents]], in his backstory
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He's the only recruitable character from Lyn's tale who might never reappear in Eliwood's and Hector's tale, possibly causing this trope.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: He states that he's been in service to Caelin for thirty years but his support with Renault reveals that he's only forty. FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you realize that squires started off when they were but boys.
----
* BadassArmy: Necessary in a ''Fire Emblem'' game.
* NonLethalKO: During Lyn's story, anyone who loses all their hit points is simply rendered unable to fight instead of dead. However, he'll be unable to fight for the rest of her story and join Eliwood with default stats and level rather than earned ones.
* RagtagBandOfMisfits: Lyn assembles a pretty colorful little militia practically by accident.
--> '''Lyn''': "Lyndis's Legion"? This is getting stranger with every day.
* RecurringElement: Most of them are this, and they also play with or subvert the usual tropes that come with early game recruits throughout the series.
!![[HelloInsertNameHere The Tactician]] (Default Name: Mark)
The Tactician was WalkingTheEarth to train their skills as a military strategist. They were ambushed by bandits and found by Lyn, who nursed them back to health. The Tactician would go on to join the armies of the Lords as their strategist. The Tactician is a stand-in for the [[PlayerCharacter player]] with no dialogue or characterization. Many of the cut-scenes either take place from the Tactician's first person point of view or will show the back of the Tactician's head looking out into the scene as a pseudo-first-person point of view.
----
* AmbiguousGender: Their sprite.
* ButNowIMustGo: At the end of the game.
* CanonName: The Tactician's default name is Mark.
* DemotedToExtra: Appears and is mentioned less and less near the middle and last quarter of the game, but lessened a bit at the very end. Yes, this game managed to render the ''[[MindScrew player themselves to be of minimal importance to the overall plot.]]''
* TheFaceless: The Tactician's face is never seen.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: Occasionally, the back of the Tactician's head will be shown in the cutscene, but otherwise no details are given about the Tactician's appearance or background.
* HelloInsertNameHere: Fill in your name, gender, and birth month. If you are playing the Japanese version then you also put in your blood type.
* HeroicMime: Occasionally, the other characters will ask you a question and reply as if you had responded.
* MissionControl: Essentially the character's entire role/purpose. Also somewhat crosses over with TheSmartGuy... unless you get a D/E rank, in which even the ending sequence will mock you.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If you do well enough [[spoiler:Bern and Etruria will go to war after the game's events]] in order to obtain your skills. Of course, Desmond was looking for an excuse to go to war anyway; [[spoiler:you simply provide him with one by fighting Bern's forces and disclosing Bern's national secrets to Etrurian nobility...]]
* OCStandIn: The intended purpose of the Tactician. The Tactician is supposed to be an EscapistCharacter for the player to project themselves into the game, and if you play well in the game, the other characters will lavish praise on you.
* ShipperOnDeck: The game mechanics allow for all the shippers out there to turn their character into a matchmaker. Unless you find the options available... too limiting.
* PlayerCharacter: More of a player avatar. You name them and the characters speak to them through the fourth wall, but they have a minimal role in the overall plot and only appear in cutscenes.
* PurelyAestheticGender: Actually, in this game, there isn't even an aesthetic difference because the Tactician's sprite and artwork is exactly the same regardless of which gender you pick. Some of the characters will react differently to your character based on gender, but otherwise, there is no real impact on the game.
* SilentSnarker: The few times your character shows any personality, it's when a member of your army does something so ridiculous your character is reduced to incredulous staring. Oftentimes, you're joining him.
* TheStrategist: His/Her whole purpose. How successfully they fall into this role is wholly dependent on the player.
* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: Averted by default, but you have the choice of playing through Eliwood and Hector's stories without the Tactician, leaving his fate after Lyn's tale unknown.

[[caption-width-right:266:''[[ColorCodedCharacters The Green]] [[RedOni Lance]]'']]
->''“Would you not favor me with your name? Or better yet, your company?”''
The first and undeniably the oddest person Lyn meets on her journey, Sain is a gallant cavalier in service to House Caelin, full of "passion and fire," beloved of the populace who sends women swooning... or so he would have you believe. In reality, he amounts to little more than a skirt-chaser. Considered lazy and foolish by his comrades in Caelin's knights, Sain desperately ''wants'' to be a hero (mostly so he can get chicks), it’s just that he isn’t very good at it, at least at first.
->'''Class:''' Cavalier
----
* TheBigGuy: Being the most physically powerful of Lyn's core group of five, he fits this role best in "Lyndis' Legions".
* BladeOnAStick: It is, as we all know, the most heroic of ''all'' weapons.
* ButtMonkey: To ''the game engine itself''. He spends a good slice of the [[RightWayWrongWayPair tutorial screwing up, so that Kent can instruct]] the player on what ''not'' to do.
* ChivalrousPervert: You may think that his just a pervert, [[HiddenDepths but at his core, he is a knight.]] He clearly wants to beat the crap out of Marquess Araphen for daring to call Lyn a [[FantasticRacism "nomadic mongrel"]], and in his A support [[spoiler:with Priscilla, she asks if he would be able to abandon Lycia and join her. He tells her he can't [[CryCute and moments later breaks down crying]].]]
* DiscOneNuke: You can give him tons of kills in the Lyn mode, and, in new game+, even promotes him during Lyn mode, and have two Paladins at his early jointime during the main quest. While both he and Kent get this benefit, Sain is generally the preferred choice thanks to his massive STR, and good enough speed. This is quite a popular choice that some even called Lyn Mode "Lets turn Sain into a copy of Marcus".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
-->'''Sain:''' ''"I hail from the Caelin canton, home to men of passion and fire!"''\\
'''Lyn:''' ''"Shouldn't that be 'home to callow oafs with loose tongues'?"''
* HeroesPreferSwords: Though he still does use swords, he [[DefiedTrope defies the trope]] initially by insisting that the lance is the most heroic weapon and thus insisting on using them. [[TacticalRockPaperScissors It doesn't last]]. In a meta-sense, this fits him since the average Sain will have plenty of Speed and Strength but low Skill, making the most accurate weapons the best choices for him.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Kent.
* IncomingHam: Often heard before he's seen, followed by his chat head dashing into view.
* KnightInShiningArmor: He tries, bless him...
* LargeHam: Especially once he realizes that [[HappilyMarried Louise]] is the Countess of Reglay, and, thus, Pent's wife:
-->'''Sain:''' Lady Louise!\\
'''Louise:''' Ah yes. Sir Sain, was it? How fare you?\\
'''Sain:''' Ahh, please! Do not look upon me with those eyes! I... could not bear such sweet agony...\\
'''Louise:''' Oh?\\
'''Sain''' Would that I had met you earlier, I could have... But you are sworn to another! No matter how passionately our love may rage, it can never be!\\
'''Louise:''' I beg your pardon?\\
'''Sain:''' Please, understand my heart! I know you pain with longing... But the pain is doubly so for your aching servant!\\
'''Louise:''' You... know...\\
'''Sain:''' Parting from you wracks my body and my soul... But that is our star-crossed fate... And so, Louise... Forever! And forever! And forever! Let us cherish this moment and live always in its warmth... ''[leaves]''\\
'''Louise:''' My... Cherish I shall... Indeed... What a funny man.
* MatchmakerCrush: His and Kent's B support suggests strongly that he has feelings for Lyn too, but would rather let Kent take the lead.
-->'''Sain:''' Oh, get over it! You can admit it, can't you?! I mean, she is beautiful, and she is kind... How could anyone not have feelings for her? [...] But I guess I will have to let you take the lead here, since that is truly the knightly thing to do for one's partner...
* MrExposition: He and Kent know more than a little about Caelin politics.
* RecurringElement: Half of the Cain and Abel Red and Green Knights duo.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red one, breaking the series' tradition of the green-clad cavalier being the sensible one and the red-clad one being the hot-headed one. Even so, Sain is more of a passionate extrovert than a hothead... Which is complicated when Lowen shows up because he shows signs of both.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Declines in importance as the game increases in seriousness, to the point that, as far as the plot is concerned, he's almost a non-entity following the DiscOneFinalBoss.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Kent, again, following the red cavalier/green cavalier tradition.

-->-- '''Kent''' to '''Heath''' in a support conversation
Sain's associate, who evidently does the thinking for both of them, Kent is another of the knights sent by Caelin to retrieve Lyn. Kent has a good head on his shoulders and a fair knowledge of battle tactics, which he will gladly explain to you during the ForcedTutorial. He is totally devoted to Lyn's service, something that may simply be duty or may be, as Sain suspects, a sign of attraction.
->'''Class:''' Cavalier
----
* ApologisesALot: To Farina in their supports.
* BirdsOfAFeather: He and Fiora bond over their [[TeamMom extremely-similar]] [[TeamDad personalities]] in their supports. In their B-rank support, they agree to have a meeting to create a new policy to curtail the blossoming, unprofessional romances in the army in Kent's tent... at night... alone... Rank A has the aftermath of OneThingLedToAnother.
* BodyguardCrush: Well, Sain says so, at least. Confirmed if he and Lyn get an A support, since she sets off to Sacae with him after they leave Caelin in Hector's care.
* CloudCuckooLandersMinder: Has to deal with Sain's ChivalrousPervert tendencies.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sain, as shown in their supports.
* JackOfAllStats: The most balanced of all of the mounted units, but the only one that doesn't excel in anything, either.
* KnightInShiningArmor: He actually lives up to this, instead of just
* TheLancer: In Lyn's core group, though he's less prone to being argumentative than most Lancers (tending to fight with TheBigGuy instead). Of course, being a knight, he feels it's not his place to dissent, anyway.
* MrExposition: He sets up the succession plot in Lyn's story, as well as giving the player instruction about the [[TacticalRockPaperScissors Weapon Triangle]] in the tutorial.
* OppositesAttract: If paired up with Farina, a fact that she points out.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue one to Sain's red. This is a notable inversion of the usual Red Knight/Green Knight dynamic, where the Red Knight is usually the hot blooded one.
* RecurringElement: Half of the Cain and Abel Red and Green Knights duo.
* TheStoic: To a fault. Sain lampshades it once when he comments that Kent will age too quickly considering how much he worries.
** SugarAndIcePersonality: Comes as this with Lyn, and later with Fiora.
* TeamDad: The long-suffering StraightMan to Sain's BromanticFoil, and Lyn's chief steward throughout her campaign. His supports with Fiora emphasize this, as well as their similarity to one another.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Sain, following the red cavalier/green cavalier tradition.

* {{Adorkable}}: She gets nervous and awkward around strangers, especially men. And it's just adorable.

* BodyguardCrush: Could be interpreted with Lyn if shipped.
* TheChick: In Lyn's core five and that doesn't stop her from being an efficient fighter, though.
* CrashIntoHello: This is how she meets Hector.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Though not in a malevolent sense. She's just pretty darn intimidated by them, [[CharacterDevelopment at first]]. Even the choice of the Tactician's gender will influence her dialogue with him/her.
* FirstGirlWins: If paired with Hector (though Lyn is a pretty close second).
* FragileSpeedster: Between the 3 pegasus sisters, Florina has the highest Speed growth. However, she also has a catastrophic Defense growth and the lowest HP growth, which means that if she doesn't avoid attacks, she will die quickly. In fact, she is very likely to get killed in one hit early in the game.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: If she's not shipped with Lyn, then this is how their relationship is interpreted.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The 'tiny girl' half with Hector, if they are shipped.
* LoveInterest: She may become one of Hector's.
* MoeCouplet: Her supports with Lyn, Serra, Ninian, and Nino not only multiply her own {{Moe}}, they help share it with the other girl. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming The results are often spectacular.]]
* PluckyGirl
* RecurringElement: Essentially Lyn's Caeda. She's also Est overall as the [[ThreeFacesOfEve childlike youngest pegasus sister.]]
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Primarily with Lyn, but also with Serra, Nino, and Ninian.
* RunningGag: Her support conversations with Hector have her repeatedly try to work up the courage to thank him for saving her. Except she's so bashful, that she runs away each time he shows up.
* ShrinkingViolet: Mostly because she's been [[RaisedByDudes raised by ladies]], and the Pegasi Knight units are all-female squads for obvious reasons.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Lyn, Farina, and Serra's Tomboy.
* WeaponOfChoice
** BladeOnAStick: Default for Pegasi Knights.
* ZettaiRyouiki

'''''Rath:''' “... Number three? Why three?”''\\
'''''Wil:''' “Well... No reason, I guess. It just seemed... pretty normal.”''
-->--'''Wil''' and '''Rath''' in a support conversation
A young archer from Pherae, he left his village a few years ago to earn his fortune. Met Lyn in a squabble with some bandits in Bern, and after defeating them he joined her retinue even coining the name 'Lyndis' Legions'. [[spoiler:He's the childhood friend of Rebecca and her brother Dan, the latter of whom he left with before they were separated.]]
->'''Class:''' Archer
----
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Develops into one in his supports with Raven.
* TheDeterminator: In his Supports with Rath, he strives to learn to shoot horseback despite struggling to do so. In his Supports with Wallace, he strives to train despite the immense regimen the former General puts him through (it also gives him a sense for his own limits.)
* TheDitz: Especially emphasized in his supports with Raven, though it may just be that he's contrasted with one of the game's most unhappy characters.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Some of his Supports reveal he's quite unsure of himself and really lacking confidence. Nonetheless, this also gives him vibes of...
* TheGenericGuy: Subverted. He doesn't seem to have a lot of edges to him on the surface, [[spoiler:but delving into his tangled backstory through the supports with Rebecca and Dart reveals some serious HiddenDepths.]]
* {{Keet}}: A downplayed example, as he does [[HiddenDepths have his serious moments]]. However, Wil can be ''quite'' energetic at times, as seen in his supports with Rath and Wil (and noted in his Lyn's Story ending).
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:He's so ashamed of having left his family without warning and not even fulfilling his motivations for doing so, that he hasn't made contact with them in five years even though he told Lyn he'd send word. Finally does so with some persuasion from Lyn, in their A Support]].
* NiceGuy: One of the most stable and all-around 'normal' characters in the game. He's even implied to get along fairly well with Florina, even though they don't exactly fall on the right end of the [[TacticalRockPaperScissors Weapons spectrum]]...
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Though Wil is not unusable and has fairly decent Strength, Rebecca is much faster, Louise is relatively RNG-proof, and Rath has access to swords and more mobility.
* RecurringElement: Of Gordin gameplay wise, though not in terms of his relationships. He can be the father of Roy's Gordin who plays the trope much straighter in the sequel.
* SempaiKouhai: Tries to develop this with Raven. It doesn't work.
* TheSmartGuy: He's [[StreetSmart pretty world-wise]], anyway, and so sort of fits this role in Lyn's group.
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: With Rebecca, if they get an A Support.
* WhatTheHellHero: Lyn and Rebecca call him out for [[spoiler:leaving his home behind and never making contact with her or his family. It works]].
!!Dorcas
[[quoteright:266:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Dorcas_6565.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:266:''[[GentleGiant Serene Warrior]]'']]
A quiet but kind man from Bern, who joins a band of brigands to make money for his IllGirl wife, Natalie. Has a change of heart after meeting Lyn and joins her group. At some point between Lyn's story and Eliwood's story, he and Natalie moved from Bern to Pherae. In Eliwood's story, he joins early on, still making money to help his wife.
->'''Class:''' Fighter
----
* AnAxeToGrind: He starts with a hand-axe, giving him the ability to attack from a distance. He can be promoted to use bows, also letting him attack from a distance.
* TheBigGuy: In the early stages of both Lyn and Eliwood's stories.
* CrutchCharacter: Possesses high stats for his level and recruitment times in all three modes. Unfortunately, they don't help in any way for his atrocious growths in everything but HP and Strength.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Owing largely to the Fire Emblem commercial, Dorcas finished 12th in the male section of the fan voting of the Fire Emblem Heroes Choose Your Legends poll and 21st overall, ahead of protagonist Eliwood and the 3rd most popular character overall from Blazing Blade, behind Hector and Lyn.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: It's actually possible in Hard Mode for Dorcas to [[AccidentalMurder kill his wife]] in the map where you find him, simply because his AI sees her as an enemy before you recruit him. Ooooops.
* GentleGiant: He's only fighting for money to pay for Natalie's medicine. His supports show him to be a very kind-hearted man who asks for almost nothing in return as long as he can help her.
* GlassCannon: Like most Fighters, he has high HP and Strength coupled with low Defence and Resistance. It's only made worse in his case because he has the lowest Speed growth in the game (tied with Wallace), so he can only really hit once, but hard.
* HeelFaceTurn: He's the first recruitable enemy in the game. He's so guilty about being a bandit that all it takes is a good talking-to to get him to change sides.
* HonourBeforeReason: In his Supports with [[spoiler:Farina, he insists on making enough money to pay her back for her charity, even those she's initially willing to let him be]].
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Implied, with his wife Natalie.
* LadyAndKnight: Natalie is just a GirlNextDoor, but his willingness to protect her invokes the trope ''very'' strongly.
* NiceGuy: It really shows in his supports, which tend to be with far less kind characters.
* PapaWolf: Is initially willing to do anything, no matter how bad, to help his wife. Lyn only snaps him out of it by persuading him that his wife would not forgive him for it. Even then, he [[spoiler:declines an offer by Oswin to join Ostia's knights, stating that he fights only for his wife.]]
* TheQuietOne: He barely says a word even in conversation.
* RecurringElement: Half of the Bord and Cord duo with Bartre in Eliwood's Mode. In Lyn's story, however, he's by himself, and he's very gentle at heart compared to prior axe fighters.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Bartre's Manly Man.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Him and Bartre.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: At first though he almost became a KnightTemplar over it. Lyn managed to talk him out of it, though.
!!Serra

A loud, obnoxious priestess in service to Ostia who hired Erk to be her escort. They met Lyn and joined her party after dealing with a group of bandits near the Bern border. She later joins Eliwood's party by proxy of joining Hector on his quest. Although many characters (and gamers) find her intolerable, she has pains within that she hides from the world...
->'''Class:''' Cleric\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AriOzawa (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/KateHiggins (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
----
* AwfulTruth: Her A supports with Hector and Lucius strongly imply she's aware that [[spoiler:her parents weren't fallen nobility, rather they were too impoverished to look after her. Thus, her haughty attitude is likely [[JerkassFacade a coping mechanism]] to keep from having to face the truth of why they abandoned her]].
* CryCute: Seen during her A supports with Hector, Lucius, and Oswin. The first two instances having to do with [[spoiler:the truth about why she was raised in an orphanage]]. But in Oswin's case, it's because she thought he genuinely didn't like her, due to always being so harsh towards her.
* TheDreaded: PlayedForLaughs, during a scene where Hector is stationed at an abandoned cabin. If you have Serra's unit investigate it, Hector hides from her [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall when he hears her]] {{leitmotif}}, and doesn't come out until after she leaves.
* FallenPrincess: Assuming she's telling the truth about her parents being Etrurian nobility and why they [[spoiler:left her in the care of a convent, when she was a child]].
* TheGadfly:
** She's a constant source of irritation for her disgruntled bodyguard, Erk, due to her incessant prodding. At one point, he even offers to refund the gold she paid him for his protection, but she refuses to let him off the hook.
-->'''Serra:''' "No! You're ''my'' escort, Erk. '''[[ItsAllAboutMe MINE!!]]'''"
** Matthew's in the same boat, since gets stuck with her too, during Hector's chapters. Made funnier when he tries to drop hints about how much she annoys him, except she assumes he's referring to someone else.
-->'''Matthew: (hinting)''' "Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to Lord Hector about that... about how difficult it is to have to work with distractions. You know... "distractions"?"
-->'''Serra: (misses the point entirely)''' "I know! I feel the same way. We should go see Hector and complain about it together. Come along, Matthew."
-->'''Matthew [[FlatWhat watches her leave]]'''
-->'''Matthew: (aloud, to himself)''' "She's not bad looking... if only she'd shut. Up."
* GenkiGirl: Serra fidgets a lot. During her supports, she's often seen bouncing in place which annoys Erk and Matthew, who both tell her to keep still.
* GirlishPigtails: To really drive home that yes, she's a 16 year old cleric.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: If paired up with the MightyGlacier Oswin. Doubles as MayDecemberRomance because she's 16 and he's in his 30's. Which is made funny when he almost immediately regrets telling her that a lot of men like her and she assumes (somewhat correctly) that he does too.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She seems to mean well, but often makes biting remarks without thinking first. Though Erk's convinced that she does it on purpose to annoy him.
* JerkassFacade: She asserts that she's Etruian nobility and demands those around her show her proper respect, due her station. However, it may all just be a facade [[spoiler:to keep from facing the possibility that she's really an orphan]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Her Supports with Lucius cement her status as this. Also her supports with Florina, where she helps her open up. At the end of Hector's, she's in tears and her first thought afterwards is to rush into the field to tend to the wounded. And in the Final Battle, her pre-fight quote is a surprisingly humble prayer to Elimine to get the best and safest outcome that is not unlike ''Lucius's'' own.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Rather than the usual music that plays during support scenes, Serra has her very own theme plays during hers, which fits [[GenkiGirl her personality]] to a T.
* MagicalGirlWarrior: After promotion, when she gets to shoot back with holy lasers.
* MagikarpPower: Her offensive capabilities are nonexistent until she gets promoted to Bishop, but once she does...
* MeaningfulName: "Serra" means "saw" in Latin (as in, the cutting tool), and she is about as abrasive as one.
* OddFriendship: Despite her noisy and boisterous ways, Serra can become good friends with Florina, to the point of RomanticTwoGirlFriendship, and with the gentle priest Lucius.
* ParentalAbandonment: [[FreudianExcuse It causes her a lot of angst and is the source of her irritable personality]].
* RecurringElement: Gameplay-wise, a Lena, given her availability and stats. On the other hand, her extroverted and abrasive personality is a first for the archetype, with the troubadour (Priscilla in this case) being the demure and restrained one.
* RosehairedSweetie: Her in-game character portrait depicts her with pink hair, but in her official art, it's light purple. And she is a sweetie, deep down. (VERY deep down.)
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: She is the Energetic Girl to Erk during Lyn's story, then briefly to Matthew at the start of Hector's story.
* SecondLove: It's possible for her to end up being [[spoiler:Matthew]]'s, if you get their A level support.
* ShipperOnDeck: Her supports with Sain show her as vying for a LoveTriangle between Hector, Eliwood, and Lyndis.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Acts like one, but it's a bit more complicated than that.
** StepfordSmiler: A type A. She appears cheery and bitchy, but is more insecure than she'd like you to know.
* TrueCompanions: Her relationship with Hector, as [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming seen in their A Support]].
* {{Tsundere}}: Particularly towards Erk and Matthew.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: For all their bickering, she has a soft spot for Erk. If you clear the game after getting their A support, it's said that she couldn't forget him and they MarryForLove.
* WellDoneSonGuy: The person whose approval she most desperately yearns for is Oswin. In their B support, when he harshly scolds her, her self-esteem is shattered and it takes her almost their whole A support to regain it.
-->'''Serra''': ... I want to talk to you, but... all you ever do is tell me everything I'm doing wrong... You don't like anything I do, right? So... So... ... ... ... ... ...... *sniff*...
* WellExcuseMePrincess: It shows in her slow relationship growths.

[[caption-width-right:266:''[[BadAssBookworm Studious Mage]]'']]
A young studying mage, the only student of the Mage General of Etruria, Lord Pent. First appears as Serra's escort, helping Lyn's party thereafter.
Later, while escorting Priscilla, they end up stuck in Laus due to its corrupt Marquess being infatuated with his employer. He and Priscilla join Eliwood's party in exchange for their assistance, also hoping that it may help her in finding her missing family. He's often quite uptight, but mellows around people he's closer towards.
->'''Class:''' Mage
----
* BadassBookworm: Louise mentions the fact that Erk is constantly studying, to the point that he sometimes neglects to eat, or rest. So she actually had to ''make him'' take a break to at least get some fresh air.
* BelligerentSexualTension: After all his griping about her, his ending says he couldn't concentrate on his studies due to all the quiet, now that Serra was no longer around. So he tracks her down and marries her!
* BodyguardCrush: Sort of an inverted example with Priscilla, though he eventually catches on as well.
** Subverted with Serra, as she's a potential bride of his but not only is he {{tsundere}} towards her, he falls for her after he has ''stopped'' being her bodyguard.
* CantStandThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Serra annoys the hell out of him, but he likes her a lot more than he lets on. He openly says that he believes he's the only one who'd look after someone like her in their A support.
* TheComicallySerious: All the frigging time, especially when it comes to you-know-who:
-->'''Serra:''' "But I have to look after you, Erk. You're so moody and quiet, no one would notice if you starved. So I have to make sure that you don't."
-->'''Erk: (deadpan)''' "It's the same for me: I have to look after you, because [[TheGadfly you're so annoying]] that if you disappeared, no one would care. So I have to make sure you don't."
-->'''Serra: (stunned)''' "You... don't mean that."
-->'''Erk: (petulant)''' "It's no worse than what ''you'' said!"
* DeadpanSnarker: Most evidently in his interactions involving Serra:
-->'''Lyn:''' Why are [Erk and Serra] fighting these bandits?\\
'''Erk:''' ... It just happened.
* DefrostingIceKing: Towards Priscilla and Nino, both of whom draw out his kinder, protective side.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Savvy Guy to Serra.
* HappilyAdopted: By Pent and Louise.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: A little bit. At one point he says he will never be as good at magic as his master is. Kind of justified; see MasterOfNone below.
* HonorBeforeReason: If he gets taken out in Lyn's story, even after dealing with an annoying Serra and getting heavily injured, he'll return the money paid to him for his bodyguard fee before leaving.
* KillItWithFire[=/=]ShockAndAwe: for the vast majority of the game, the Fire and Thunder tomes- joined later by Elfire- are Erk's WeaponOfChoice. More powerful ones like [[KillItWithIce Fimbulvetr]] and [[InfinityPlusOneSword Excalibur]] are typically reserved for use against boss-type opponents.
* LoveEpiphany: In his ending with Serra, he didn't realize that he was in love with her 'til after she was gone, because he couldn't stand the peace and quiet!
* MasterOfNone: Relatively balanced, as Mages in this series go, though he can max his Speed stat. This comes back to bite him in the main story, where he tends to be overlooked by many players in favor of Pent, who is essentially Erk except already trained.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Erk is utterly amazed by Nino's natural talent for magic, and noted that her ability had already exceeded his own, despite being younger than himself. And was surprised to learn she was mostly self-taught. And he's certain he'll never be as good a wizard as his master, Pent. Also true in gameplay terms, where he's seen as [[MasterOfNone competent, but unremarkable]], especially since his competition is [[JackOfAllStats Pent]] and [[MagikarpPower Nino]].
* ParentalSubstitute: Pent and Louise are essentially his adoptive parents, and they treat him as such. Especially Louise, who actively dotes over him.
* TheStoic: He's completely unflappable most of the time. However...
** NotSoStoic: Serra is particularly good at pushing his buttons.
* RecurringElement: Lyn's Merric more or less. Compared to early game mages before him, he's quite snarky and dour, whereas most before him are either naive young children or more openly kind adults.
* StraightMan: His deadpan reactions to the almost literally constant cavalcade of nonsense that is his life in [=FE7=] makes him practically the FE equivalent of Arthur Dent.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: A male variant.
* WellDoneSonGuy: The reason Erk pushes himself so hard in his studies, is because he's trying to live up to Pent's expectations of him. However, Pent finds it unnecessary since he and his wife, Louise, are already proud of him.

The son of Dayan, tribal leader of the Kutolah Tribe in Sacae. He was [[spoiler:sent away from his tribe as a child due to a prophecy stating that he would play an important role in saving the world]]. Eventually became Captain of the Palace Guard at Araphen, where he met Lyn during an attack by Lundgren. He joined her party after witnessing the extent of his liege-lord's bigotry, and disappeared after her defeat of Lundgren before re-emerging as a mercenary and rejoining the group on her behalf.
->'''Class:''' Nomad
----
* AloofAlly: Has strikes of this when his quiet personality, and being absent for most of the scenes. Mostly shown at the end of Lyn's story where he [[spoiler:slips out, unknown what happened to him.]]
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: [[spoiler:Deconstructed. When his tribe's diviner saw a dark omen in the stars, Rath, as the Chieftain's son, was required to leave so that he would help prevent it coming to pass. Needless to say, he does so.... but since it took place when he was four years old, it made him as anti-social as he is.]]
* BowAndSwordInAccord: When/if he gets promoted.
* [[TheChiefsDaughter The Chief's Son]]: The son of Dayan, Chief of the Kutolah from the previous game.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Of a sort, he served as Captain of the Guard at Araphen until he realised his liege-lord would never see Sacaens as anything but savages, [[YouAreACreditToYourRace in spite of his exception in Rath's case]].
* DiscOneNuke: In Lyn's story. He joins at a pretty high level ''and'' is both able to move fast through the field and snipe the enemies rather reliably.
* DoomedByCanon: In 6, Sue expresses concern about her grandfather, but not her father, fighting with Bern. This seems to imply that he's dead by that time, which would also explain why Dayan is still Chief of the Kutolah.
* HiredGuns: Works as one for the year in between Lyn's story and Eliwood's/Hector's story.
* HorseArcher: Like most of the men of the Kutolah.
* MysteriousProtector: Plays this role for Lyn's story.
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:He was sent out of his tribe- before he was even ''four''- because, as the Chieftan's son, he had a duty to prevent the world's destruction]].
* PerpetualFrowner: Lyn [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades]] it.
* PunnyName: [[MemeticMutation Feel my]] [[RunningGag RATH!!]] Go find a Website/YouTube video of when he recruits, and see if the title or description does not have that along the lines.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Albeit more soft-spoken than most, he's very proud of his Kutolah blood and [[BerserkButton does NOT take it well]] when someone speaks badly of Sacae.
* RescueRomance: With Lyn, if they have an A Support.
* SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler:If Rath stays in the main party until the story's end, he returns to his tribe to receive a warm welcome from his fellow tribesmen, particularly his father]].
* TheStoic: Silent and stone-faced all the time.
** SugarAndIcePersonality: Towards Lyn in particular. Also shows his ''dere'' side to Wil, in their Supports.

A mischievous and sly young man, good at catching info and stealing things. He's actually one of the top spies of Ostia, who first aids Lyndis and tells his lords about what happened, then pledges his loyalty to Hector and joins him in his quest. For some odd reason, he speaks with British slang.
->'''Class:''' Thief\\
'''Voiced by:''' Souichirou Hoshi (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/BenDiskin (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
----
* AntiHero: Due to some... questionable actions he takes. Overall, though, he's a pretty swell guy.
* CombatPragmatist: Much to Guy's irritation, Matthew accepted a challenge and then ambushed Guy while he was asleep to teach him that he won't last long if he expects people in war to fight fair.
* FragileSpeedster: He has the best Speed growth of the game (along with Guy and Nils/Ninian), which allows him to evade attacks with ease after a few level ups. However, he is rather frail, and spear users will do a number on him.
* GuileHero: Demonstrated most strongly in the first chapter of Hector's story, sensing the Fang assassins in the castle, and knowing that they wouldn't show themselves until Hector was alone, he seemed to leave immediately after Hector refuses his aid (knowing full well he'd be turned down), and reappeared only after they'd revealed themselves to Hector. When Hector confronts him over it, he openly confessed as much.
* HiddenDepths: He's not necessarily as cheerful as he seems to be.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: [[spoiler:His girlfriend Leila is cut down during her last mission, right before he was going to ask her to give up being a spy so they could be together. He deeply regrets not doing so sooner.]]
* MusclesAreMeaningless: A weird inversion; as a thief, Matthew's strength growth is lower than most, but in his artwork, he's quite well-built.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's pretty silly at first glance, but he hides a shrewd and devious mind.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He's at least in his early-to-mid 20's, as stated in the artbooks, and his supports with Hector and Oswin belie an surprisingly knightly persona for someone of his class.
* RecurringElement: The low-level thief who joins the story early on; in Matthew's case, not only is he more noble and generally older than thieves before him, he's also under Ostia's employ as a spy, as opposed to being a ragtag thief from the streets.
* {{Revenge}}: A huge theme in his supports with [[spoiler:Jaffar, the guy who killed his girlfriend Leila.]]
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:Has an NPC love interest as of the start of the story. Can still end up paired with Serra at the end, as said NPC dies. He is slightly annoyed by this outcome.]]
** MayDecemberRomance: [[spoiler:That "other" unit is a 16-year-old girl. As mentioned above, Matthew himself is in his 20's so they are a May-September deal.]]
* SixthRanger: In Lyn's story, where he's the only character outside the core group and main characters to appear afterwards. Also functions as such since he basically invited himself and Lyn didn't trust him at first (due to his being a thief... or so she thought at first).
* TheSmartGuy: His role in Lyn's tale. It's best seen when he skips out on a battle to gather information that proves crucial to figuring out Lundgren's plans and prevents Lyn from blundering into certain death in Lundgren-controlled Caelin.
* {{Trickster}}: Specially obvious in his supports with Hector.
* UndyingLoyalty: To House Ostia, and Hector in particular.

A quiet, kind, but also very stubborn monk from the Saint Elimine Order, whom we meet as he ([[DudeLooksLikeALady YES, HE]]) joins Lyndis's group after seeing Nils being mistreated by scared townspeople. Later, he appears again as the travelling companion of a troubled man named Raven.
->'''Class:''' Monk\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ToaYukinari (Japanese,''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'')
----
* AllLovingHero: Many of his supports are with... difficult people, like [[AlphaBitch Serra]], [[ByronicHero Raven]], [[AxeCrazy Karel]], and [[DarkAndTroubledPast Renault]]. He ultimately befriends them all, and rarely shows anything but kindness and compassion to them despite their frequent unfriendliness.
* {{Bishonen}}: See DudeLooksLikeALady.
* BreakTheCutie: His backstory, in which [[spoiler:his dad dies in front of him, his IllGirl mom dies a few years later, he's sent to an OrphanageOfFear and is bullied there, then is employed by the Cornwell House, only to lose them too, and is now only able to watch as Raymond is consumed by bitterness...]]
* CrossdressingVoices: In [[Creator/ToaYukinari Japanese]] averted in [[Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas English]].
* {{Determinator}}: He manages to pull through all the crap life has thrown at him, and his B support with Raven is about [[spoiler:finally calling him out on his purposes and refusing to take it anymore. So much that Raven actually has to drop his JerkAss attitude and pretty much apologize to him for pushing him away.]]
* DoomedByCanon: Implied. [[spoiler:He starts an orphanage in Araphen in his ending. In ''Sword of Seals'', Lugh used to live in an orphanage in Araphen and it is explained that the Father who took care of it was killed by Bern's troops for resisting.]]
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Sweet holy mother. (As Serra points out, it's really the hips and hair that do it.)
* {{Forgiveness}}: Even upon learning that it was [[spoiler:Bishop Renault]] who had orphaned him, Lucius was still capable of forgiving [[spoiler:him]].
* FriendToAllChildren: Joins Lyn's army because he feels he must intervene to save Nils and Ninian. If he does not have an A level support ending, he opens an orphanage.
* GlassCannon: Likely to end up as this, since his Defense is almost nonexistent and his HP tends to be low ''even for a SquishyWizard'' while his Magic, Skill, and Speed stand out. High Skill also adds up to more critical hits, on top of Light magic getting lots of them already, train him and watch him two-shot or straight-up crit-to-death many enemies with just the basic Lightning tome! On top of it, when you promote him to Bishop he starts with a C rank in staff use. Meaning it'll take Lucius next to no time to use high-rank staves like the ''very'' useful Physic and Fortify ''and'', once he gets his hands on them, he'll cover a LARGE are thanks to his high Magic. He may not be able to take it in, but HOLY HELL he can dish it out as both a fighter and a healer.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A rare male example, otherwise played straight as an arrow.
* HeavenlyBlue: Rather than the usual ManInWhite that male clerics and bishops tend to be, he wears a long, pale blue robe.
* HiredGuns: Surprisingly, [[spoiler:He becomes a mercenary with Raven if he manages to convince him to not seek revenge against House Ostia.]]
* InnocentBlueEyes: One of the gentlest {{Nice Guy}}s in the game, and he's got the soft blue eyes to match.
* LightEmUp: As a Monk, he uses light magic.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: His long hair only makes him look even more feminine.
* NiceGuy: He's got nothing but compassion for everyone he interacts with.
* RapunzelHair: Said long hair happens to reach down to his hips.
* SilkHidingSteel: Would you believe that this super soft-spoken and kind guy is more than able to [[spoiler:make a hard-boiled, embittered mercenary who doubles as his lord-of-liege to ''back off his years-long plans of revenge'']]? And he does it via pretty much giving said person one HECK of a "WhatTheHellHero" speech?
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Serra's mind is ''blown'' when she finds out Lucius is a guy. It's possibly the funniest moment in the game.

[[quoteright:266:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Nils_3910.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:266:''[[LivingMacGuffin Child of Destiny]]'']]
A young and cute ministrel who works as a travelling performer with his beautiful older sister, Ninian. They seem to have ''really'' lousy luck, however, as a mysterious group is hell-bent on capturing them for Gods-know-what purposes. After Lyn and Eliwood help to rescue Ninian, they stay with the group until Lyndis reclaims her place in Caelin, then they leave quietly... and are soon back to their runaway status, due to their mysterious past and link to this mysterious group that is all about hunting them down, the Black Fang.
Said past is as follows: [[spoiler:Nils and Ninian are the offspring of a dragon woman and a human man. During The Scouring, their mother Aenir was taken away and their dad went missing in search of her, so they crossed the Dragons's Gate with their people and rebuilt their lives there among their fellow Dragons. However, they were summoned back by a mysterious man: Nergal, the lead of the organization that wants them. Since they were the first two Dragons who replied to Nergal's call and now they're stuck at the Elibean side of the Gate in their human forms, Nils and Ninian are now the only known living beings able to open said Gate again and thus ''summon more Dragons to the continent'', which would allow Nergal to take their Quintessence and become the most powerful living being.]]
->'''Class:''' Bard
----
* AnIcePerson: [[spoiler:He's half Ice Dragon, just like his sister.]]
* BreakTheCutie: Between him and Ninian, it's hard to know who's more screwed over by the plot. Only Nino and Lucius can compare.
* [[BarrierMaiden Barrier Lord]]: [[spoiler:This fits him better than DistressedDude as he and Ninian are not only unable to attack but they're ''both'' wanted for their half-Dragon heritage, which means they're the only ones in-story able to open the Dragon's Gate and allow other dragons to go through it.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: We meet him as this cute ministrel who joins the group as thanks for them helping him and his sister. Later, both he and Ninian turn out to be ''vital'' to the plot.
* FragileSpeedster: His resistance to direct hits isn't exactly the best. On the other hand, he's got such high Speed and Luck that it's VERY hard to hit him, and his Magic Resistence is pretty decent.
* HalfHumanHybrids: His and Ninian's mom was Aenir,[[spoiler:a dragon woman. Their dad was a human shaman... Nergal.]]
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler:To the BrainwashedAndCrazy Ninian. Easily the boy's CrowningMomentOfAwesome.]]
* IllBoy: In ''Kinship's Bond'', he has a huge seizure and must be protected.
* [[BigBrotherInstinct Little Brother Instinct]]: He's fiercely protective of the older sister [[PromotionToParent who raised him]]. So much that once he almost ''yells'' at Eliwood when he accidentally puts pressure on her.
* [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Mad Shaman's Cute Son.]]: It's never outright stated, but it is strongly implied that he's [[spoiler:Nergal]]'s son.
* MysteriousWaif: When we first meet him, it seems like a nondescript gang of thugs is after him. We quickly find out that there's a lot more at stake than child abduction, however.
** MysticalWaif His ability to [[spoiler:open the Dragon's gate]] is of HUGE importance plot-wise.
* NonActionGuy: Incapable of combat in-game.
* OracularUrchin: He has a weak precognitive ability. He even takes over as your group's fortune teller when Hannah decides she's had enough of all the danger.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Much older. [[spoiler:Being half-dragon, he's centuries old.]]
* RecurringElement: The [[NonActionGuy non-combat unit]]; while Elphin from ''Binding Blade'' beat him out as the first non-dancer/male support unit, Nils still joins the story much, ''much'' earlier compared to both Elphin and any of the dancers that came before him.
* TheSmartGuy: Of the main cast between the three lords and himself and Ninian.
* StatusBuff: Once he [[spoiler:replaces Ninian]], he gets to use some spiffy rings to enhance your statuses.
* [[WhiteMagicianGirl White Magician Boy]]: He has the personality, the support ability skillset, the lack of combat skills, ''and'' is a MysticalWaif.
* SpiderSense: He can sense imminent danger, although he can't do anything about it. [[spoiler:Usually.]]
* WaifProphet: Thanks to his ability to see the future. It's not very strong, however, and he normally can't avert the future he sees.
!!Wallace
[[quoteright:266:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Wallace_1346.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:266:''[[BoisterousBruiser Crag of Caelin]]'']]
A loud, brash, and powerful knight who was the long-time commander of the Caelin Knights. He retired some time ago to work on his farm, but Lundgren tried to rope him into his conspiracy to kill Lyn. Upon meeting her, though, he decides to do the right thing and stay with her crew...
->'''Class:''' Knight (for all of ten seconds before you're forced to promote him in the ForcedTutorial, unless you go for Hard Mode).
----
* TheBigGuy: Of Lyn's group. He's the only Armor Knight you can recruit until the main story and is essentially a pre-promote General if you're doing the tutorial.
* BadassBoast: "AHAHAHAHAHA! Look! A giant walks among you! Come on! Break your weapons against me!"
* BaldOfAwesome
* BloodKnight: A heroic version.
* BoisterousBruiser: You'll hear him coming a mile away.
* CallToAgriculture: He's retired to a life of farming until Lundgren calls on him to kill a "usurper."
* CrutchCharacter: When you first get him, he's essentially indestructible, even more so if you are forced to promote him during the ForcedTutorial. If you want, you can use him to defeat the remaining bosses in Lyn's story with little to no trouble. It is made better if you play Lyn's hard mode as it doesn't force you to promote him. You can get him to level 14 or 15 by the end of her campaign and then you may want to promote him which is definitely better than promoting him at level 12.
* DiscOneNuke: He can remain usable if you play through Lyn's hard mode.
* FourStarBadass: His in-universe rank is general. And AuthorityEqualsAsskicking is in full effect on this one.
* GuestStarPartyMember: The only character from Lyn's storyline who it's possible to never encounter in Eliwood's. If you want him back, don't train your Lords much. And he joins Lyn's party just two chapters before the end, at that, and is probably one of the strongest characters you'll have at that time. Naturally, he's less than impressive when he returns.
* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:His attack on the Taliver Bandits who had killed his friends Hassar and Madelyn.]]
* LargeHam
* MemeticBadass: Considered one in-universe, to the extent that he's basically a living legend among the Caelin knights.
* MightyGlacier: True to his class, he's strong and tough, but painfully slow.
* NoSenseOfDirection: And boy, does the game take this trope and [[PlayingWithATrope play with it to Hell and back]]. Why, just to rub the joke directly in your ''face'', you even have an Elimine-forsaken ''FogOfWar'' on ''both'' maps where [[FridgeBrilliance Wallace is potentially recruitable]]!
** ObfuscatingStupidity: His sense of direction was good enough for him to [[spoiler:find and slaughter the Taliver Bandits]], however.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:The aforementioned slaughter of the Taliver Bandits.]]
* RecurringElement: Your first armored knight; in Wallace's case, he's the last to join in Lyn's story as opposed to being with you from the start, and unless you're playing on Hard mode, you're forced to promote him.
* RetiredBadass: Had left the Caelin military to live peacefully in the countryside, then joined Lyn's group. And, in the very end, he becomes this again, when he winds up in [[GrimUpNorth Ilia]], and decides to spend the rest of his days as a farmer there.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Upon meeting Lyn, he decides to turn on Lundgren. His support conversations with Kent reveal that [[spoiler:he had also disobeyed Lord Hausen to aid and abet Madelyn's and Hassar's elopement.]]
* ShootTheDog: [[spoiler:In his A-support with Lyn he reveals he killed every single member of the Taliver Bandits, expressly for the purpose of preventing Lyn from getting that much blood on her hands]].
* TenMinuteRetirement: Lyn's actions called him back into service, and he found then that he still enjoyed fighting. He spent another year looking for fights (or maybe just one fight in particular...) before he finally settled down for good after Nergal's defeat.
* TookALevelInBadass: According to his supports with [[spoiler:Renault]], he was very waifish as a kid and even bullied because of that. 30 years later, he's a HUGE badass.
* ThreeAmigos: With [[spoiler:Lyn's parents]], in his backstory
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He's the only recruitable character from Lyn's tale who might never reappear in Eliwood's and Hector's tale, possibly causing this trope.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: He states that he's been in service to Caelin for thirty years but his support with Renault reveals that he's only forty. FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you realize that squires started off when they were but boys.
