| 9 | !!Prince Munnir of Verdane (Gandolf) |
| 10 | [[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/munnir.png]] |
| 11 | ->'''Class:''' Warrior |
| 12 | |
| 13 | The eldest of King Batu's sons and the spearhead leader of the Verdane's invasion against Grannvale. He kidnapped Edain of Yngvi and retreated back to his castle in Marpha, intending to marry her. |
| 14 | ---- |
| 15 | * AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Why he kidnaps Edain. |
| 16 | * ButtMonkey: His portrayal in the Nuts Fujimori manga. |
| 17 | * CainAndAbel: He's Jamke's brother. |
| 18 | * CutscenePowerToTheMax: He deals a pre-scripted CriticalHit in order to [[CurbStompBattle Curb-Stomp]] Midir. He doesn't actually have a skill that allows him to deal critical hits. |
| 19 | * EvilUncle: A family tree in one of the ''Fire Emblem'' books says he's Jamke's uncle despite the game stating they're brothers. |
| 20 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: He attacks House Yngvi for petty reasons, but because he attacked while the main Grannvale army was away, he starts Sigurd's journey, and by extension, the entirety of the tumultuous events to come. |
| 21 | * StarterVillain: He is the first antagonist to be faced who led the invasion that kickstarts the plot. |
| 22 | * ThePawn: Mentioned to be as such to Sandima. |

| 27 | !!Prince Cimbaeth of Verdane (Kinbois) |
| 28 | [[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kinbois.png]] |
| 29 | ->'''Class:''' Warrior |
| 30 | |
| 31 | One of King Batu's three sons and the ruler of Castle Genoa. He held Shannan hostage, forcing Ayra to fight for him until Shannan is saved by Sigurd. |
| 32 | ---- |
| 33 | * BigBrotherBully: Averted in the Nuts Fujimori manga, as Jamke mentions that Cimbaeth treated him kindly when he arrived to the Verdane court. |
| 34 | * ButtMonkey: In the Fujimori manga, he clearly has no idea what he's doing. Ayra is the main threat his army poses. |
| 35 | * HeelFaceTurn: The Nuts Fujimori manga has him portrayed as not being deep down a bad guy, and Sigurd, noticing this, gives him mercy on the promise that [[TheAtoner he will atone for his sins]]. Cimbaeth is genuinely moved and promises. This mercy is important as Jamke later fights Sigurd not only because of his father's request, but also because he believes, in a misunderstanding, that Sigurd has killed his beloved brother Cimbaeth in battle. |
| 36 | * IHaveYourWife: He coerced Ayra to fight for him by holding Shannan hostage. |
| 37 | * KillItWithFire: In the Oosawa manga, he is killed by Azelle's fire magic, after he was rejuvenated by Edain's healing. |
| 38 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: Fujimori version. |
| 39 | * ThePawn: It's mentioned he was corrupted by Sandima's influence. |
| 40 | * WakeUpCallBoss: A big step-up as a threat when compared to [[WarmUpBoss DiMaggio and Gerrard]]. The first boss who leads an army straight to your castle and he requires a bit more strategy beyond rushing for the kill due to being well-protected. All the while Edain and Dew are being chased by Munnir's army. |

| 44 | [[folder:King Batu]] |
| 45 | !!King Batu of Verdane (Batou) |
| 46 | |
| 47 | The king of Verdane, who was deceived by the wicked Loptous cultist Sandima into declaring war on Grannvale. |
| 48 | ---- |
| 49 | * AdaptationalBadass: In the Nuts Fujimori manga, ''he's'' the one who takes Sandima out. Of course, he still ultimately dies of his injuries, making this a case of TakingYouWithMe. |
| 50 | * AlmostDeadGuy: Sandima fatally wounds him, but it takes him a long time to die--enough to hear Manfroy and Sandima's conversation, and long enough for Sigurd to complete the siege of Verdane castle. He dies after a final conversation with Sigurd. |
| 51 | * TheGoodKing: Despite Verdane's reputation, it's noted that Batu is respected for being a peace-loving king. |
| 52 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Once he starts listening to the advice of [[ObviouslyEvil Sandima]], Verdane's stability quickly goes downhill. Eventually, Batu ''does'' start to question Sandima's advice and motives... at which point Sandima decides that Batu has become a liability that needs to be eliminated. |
| 53 | * SacrificialLamb: Murdered by Sandima [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness at the first hint of becoming a liability]]. He still somehow clings to life long enough to apologize to Sigurd for Verdane's actions. |

| 60 | |
| 61 | One of Munnir's goons in the invasion of Grannvale. He guards Yngvi when Munnir ran off with Edain. |
| 62 | ---- |
| 63 | * HostageSituation: In the Oosawa manga, he grabs Midir as a hostage when he found himself surrounded by Sigurd's army. He was burst into flames by the arriving Azelle. |
| 64 | * WarmUpBoss: He's the first boss fought by Sigurd's army, and only slightly stronger than his {{Mooks}}. |

| 73 | ---- |
| 74 | * AdaptedOut: He doesn't make a physical appearance in the Oosawa manga. |
| 75 | * TooDumbToLive: Munnir has his goons take down the bridge over the river between Verdane and Grannvale to keep Sigurd's forces from pursuing him as he takes Edain into Verdane. Had Gerrard NOT set the bridge back up to have his unit attack Sigurd's men after Yngvi was retaken, he would've survived, along with the rest of Verdane ([[InsurmountableWaistHeightFence since none of Grannvale's units can cross the river otherwise]]). |

| 81 | A mysterious woman who appears by the lake. She gives Lex the Brave Axe if he stands by the cliff with an Iron Axe. |
| 82 | ---- |
| 83 | * CallBack: She gets mentioned again in ''Thracia 776'', meeting Halvan's sister by a lakeside and giving her a Brave Axe. |
| 84 | * GuideDangIt: Good luck figuring out about how to get that Brave Axe, which never even hint of this event. |
| 85 | * HonestAxe: The entire event plays to this theme. |
| 86 | * NonSequitur: Her appearance comes out of nowhere and she has no reason to even exist. But at least the [[InfinityMinusOneSword Brave Axe]] is nice. |

| 106 | [[caption-width-right:240:Lionheart]] |
| 107 | ->'''Class:''' Paladin\ |
| 108 | '''Holy blood:''' Hoðr [Major]\ |
| 109 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunjiMajima (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/GregChun (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'') |
| 110 | |
| 111 | Lord of House Nordion and one of Sigurd's best friends. When Agustria went into civil war, he was imprisoned by the newly crowned king Chagall. He is the inheritor of the Demon Blade Mystletainn, and the father of Ares. |
| 112 | ---- |
| 113 | * AncestralWeapon: Mysteltainn, which he then passes down onto Ares. |
| 114 | * AnimalMetaphor: The lion. His title is the "Lionheart", among other things it represents his noble status, he has the ferocious valor of one, not to mention his role in the story as a SacrificialLion. In ''Heroes'', he gets the Fury skill which is represented by a lion, and one of the refinement options for Mystletainn gives him the Fury skill that can stack with the already-existing Fury in the A skill slot. |
| 115 | * BadassBoast: As an enemy unit, and rightfully so: |
| 116 | -->"This is the Demon Sword, Mystletainn. If you don't wish to become its prey, then don't come anywhere near me..." |
| 117 | * BlackKnight: Comes with wielding the Mystletainn. |
| 118 | * BrotherSisterIncest: While his feelings in the game are unclear, the Oosawa manga has him returning Lachesis's feelings. |
| 119 | * CassandraTruth: To both Sigurd and Chagall. He warns that Sigurd's well-intentioned ventures into foreign territory to "help" his friends have turned into empire-building, and he tries twice to convince Chagall that Agustria is incapable of winning a war with its far more powerful neighbor. Sigurd shrugs him off. Chagall, meanwhile, throws him into the dungeon for the entirety of Chapter 3 [[spoiler:and can cut off his head in Chapter 4 if Eldigan is persuaded to leave the field]]. |
| 120 | * ConflictingLoyalty: He'll prioritize his country above all else, but he's still not happy to have to fight his friends in the process. |
| 121 | * DecapitationPresentation: In the Oosawa manga, [[spoiler:Chagall sends the heroes his severed head]]. The reader is mercifully spared the sight. |
| 122 | * DependingOnTheArtist: He doesn't have a defined eye color, due to many artists depicting him with either brown, golden, or blue eyes. |
| 123 | * DespairEventHorizon: When Chagall orders him executed, Eldigan despairs not just for himself but because he realizes that all of Agustria is now doomed. |
| 124 | * DownloadableContent: In ''Awakening'', he has the honor of being the first character in the franchise to be made available exclusively via paid DLC.[[note]]While several characters were made available through DLC before he was, all of them already had playable [=SpotPass=] versions while he didn't.[[/note]] |
| 125 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: Whether slain by Sigurd's army, or executed by Chagall for not dying to Sigurd's army, he maintains his knightly bearing throughout. |
| 126 | * FatalFlaw: The inflexible way in which he maintains his oath to serve the throne of Agustria. He'll try to ''talk'' Chagall into changing his mind, but he won't countermand Chagall's orders. Eldigan tells Sigurd plainly that it doesn't matter ''how'' awful the king is, if he's king, Eldigan will obey him. |
| 127 | * FightingYourFriend: Has to fight his good friend Sigurd on behalf of Chagall. You can potentially subvert this by having Lachesis talk some sense into him, but [[spoiler:Chagall has him beheaded anyway]]. |
| 128 | * AFriendInNeed: In Ch. 1, he defends Evan Castle from Elliot on Sigurd's behalf. |
| 129 | * HeroicLineage: Of the Hoðr bloodline. |
| 130 | * HonorBeforeReason: After all of the crap Chagall put him through, he still insists on serving him because a knight is loyal to his liege. According to Kaga, his straight-laced devotion to his oaths regardless of the situation is his FatalFlaw. |
| 131 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He refuses to believe that Chagall would go as far as to kill his own father until Chagall himself confirms it. Even then, he still sides with him because he's the last of the royal family, despite many people wishing Eldigan to be king. |
| 132 | * IfIDoNotReturn: If Lachesis talks to him on the battlefield, Eldigan will give her a Lands Sword and tells her that she must survive, indicating that he expects [[spoiler:that Chagall will order his death]]. |
| 133 | * InconsistentDub: Eltosian, Eltshan, and Eltoshan, with the nicknames Elto and Elty as well. ''Awakening'' and ''Heroes'' name him Eldigan, and his nickname is 'Eldie'. |
| 134 | * KnightInShiningArmor: Personality and class-wise, he fits this to a T. Unfortunately for him, he lives in a very cynical world where maintaining this attitude is [[SacrificialLion ultimately disastrous for him]]. |
| 135 | * LawfulStupid: The heirs of Hoðr are sworn to loyally serve the Kings of Agustria, and Eldigan was personally close to the old king Imuka, who was widely respected as a wise and temperate ruler. Unfortunately, Eldigan considers himself duty-bound to serve Chagall despite his glaring flaws and crimes against Eldigan's own house and sister. (In part this is because Eldigan is trying to prevent Agustria from being outright annexed by Grannvale as Verdane was, but Chagall refuses to stop antagonizing Grannvale and Eldigan refuses to consider taking the throne himself, despite one village saying they'd prefer him as king.) |
| 136 | * MightyGlacier: In Chapter 3, while he has a decent 20 speed, he cannot use it to attack twice per round, due to his lack of the Follow-Up skill. However, with Mystletainn in hand, he will make that one attack really count, hitting for up to a ''massive'' 52 damage to anyone who dares to fight him [[spoiler:(aka: you)]]. |
| 137 | * MyCountryRightOrWrong: Although he's a close friend to Sigurd and Quan, Agustria -- [[MyMasterRightOrWrong and therefore its king]] -- will always take precedence for him. Chagall may be a bad king, but he is ''Agustria's'' king, and Eldigan finds that preferable to letting Grannvale's nobles seize the country. |
| 138 | * OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:If you avoid killing him in chapter 3 by having Lachesis talk to him, [[HeelFaceDoorSlam Chagall beheads him.]]]] |
| 139 | * OfferedTheCrown: In the Oosawa manga. He refuses. |
| 140 | |
| 141 | * PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''. |
| 142 | -->"By Mystletainn!"\ |
| 143 | "No mercy!"\ |
| 144 | "Yield or perish!"\ |
| 145 | "I will finish you!" |
| 146 | * PromotedToPlayable: Makes his playable debut as a DLC character in ''Awakening''. |
| 147 | * RecurringElement: The first generation and the more obvious reference to Camus from the original game (complete with blond hair too), except with a sword and a bigger dose of HonorBeforeReason that proves fatal. |
| 148 | * RedBaron: Lionheart Eldigan. |
| 149 | * SacrificialLion: Yeah, he's not making it to the end alive. Fits ''right'' in with his title "Lionheart Eldigan". The death of Eldigan is the first very personal and indelible punishment for Sigurd's attitude that "everything will be okay because I'm trying to do the right thing." Following this, Sigurd loses his rose-colored glasses about his mistakes and Grannvale's intentions, but he is unable to overcome them. |
| 150 | * SadisticChoice: By the mid-point of Chapter 3, someone is fucked no matter what he does. If he defeats Sigurd and his forces in battle, the megalomaniac Chagall has a clear path straight to Grannvale. If he allows Sigurd to kill Chagall, either by inaction or direct betrayal, the expansionist and abusive Grannvale gets control of Agustria. If he tries to convince Chagall to stand down, [[spoiler:Chagall beheads him as a traitor and one of the two previous bad outcomes occurs]]. |
| 151 | * SkippableBoss: Fighting him in chapter 3 is avoidable. If you have Lachesis talk to him, he will depart the battlefield (and give her a magic sword!). If you chose to fight him, boy are you in for a fight. |
| 152 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Camus]], as the AntiVillain who suffers greatly from MyCountryRightOrWrong. |
| 153 | * TragicVillain: The Oosawa manga portrays his refusal to take Agustria's throne as the result of his incestuous feelings towards Lachesis. Because he is disgusted with himself for desiring his own sister, he feels unworthy of the throne and clings to his sense of honor and loyalty as a knight, no matter how little Chagall deserves it. |
| 154 | * WhatTheHellHero: His first appearance in the game points out that Sigurd's well-intentioned actions look to everyone else like Grannvale starting a second war to seize a neighboring country. When he's let out of the dungeon at the end of Chapter 2, he chews Sigurd out for basically conquering Agustria behind his back and warns him that any further aggressive action will result in Eldigan responding in force. |
| 155 | * TheWisePrince: He's well aware of how the people will suffer during times of war. He warns Elliot of the severe toll an unprovoked war would have on the people of Agustria and tries to persuade Chagall against warmongering for the same reason. |

| 160 | !!King Chagall of Agustria ''(Shagall, Shagaal)'' |
| 161 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chagall.png]] |
| 162 | ->'''Class:''' Baron |
| 163 | |
| 164 | The new king of Agustria, who was manipulated by Manfroy to murder his father and take his throne. |
| 165 | ---- |
| 166 | * ArcVillain: He serves as an antagonist for two chapters in Agustria. |
| 167 | * AssholeVictim: Chagall is the victim of both [[ManipulativeBastard Manfroy's manipulations]] and Grannevale imperialism, despite this, his highly unsympathetic and even manipulative behavior makes him very hard to sympathize with. |
| 168 | * BadBoss: Even though Eldigan is one of the best subordinates you could ask for, Chagall really doesn't treat him appropriately. |
| 169 | * TheCaligula: Ended the direct royal line of Hoðr with his warmongering and incompetence. |
| 170 | * DisneyVillainDeath: In the manga, he falls off the top of Silvail Castle and either hits the ground or gets eaten by Trabant's wyvern. The angle isn't clear enough. |
| 171 | * TheEvilPrince: Unlike his father, he's an incompetent and cruel RoyalBrat easily manipulated by the likes of Manfroy. |
| 172 | * EvilVersusEvil: Whilst Chagall is a idiotic warmonger, Grannevale is still unjustly occupying Agustria and also oppressing the citizens of the country despite Sigurd's best intentions. This is a major reason why Eldigan ultimately sides with Chagall. |
| 173 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: |
| 174 | ** Chagall's Authority stars are signfiicantly lower than Eldigan and even some of his subordinates, reflecting his inability to rule well. |
| 175 | ** He carries the Physic staff in Chapter 2 but he's too much of a JerkAss to actually ''use'' it on any of his troops. |
| 176 | * HateSink: You'll be hard-pressed to see someone who sympathizes with him. In spite of Manfroy's manipulation, Chagall is by himself self-serving, greedy, makes Agustria suffer despite his peace-loving father, and treats Eldigan like crap [[spoiler:and eventually has him executed for petty reasons]]. No one is going to pity him while he wails for his Agustria's future as he dies. The Agustrian people were more welcome to the idea of Eldigan taking over the throne, but Eldigan's honor prevents him from doing so. And even so, when Eldigan realizes that he's about to be executed, he summarizes that at that point, Agustria and the House of Hoðr are doomed as long as Chagall is in charge and Grannevale is invading. Yes, there's no one in Jugdral that likes him. |
| 177 | * InsufferableImbecile: Chagall is dumb enough to think he can singlehandedly take on Grannevale, the largest and most powerful nation on continent of Jugdral. Chagall is also mean enough to manipulate Erinys and mistreat Eldigan out of sheer paranoia. |
| 178 | * LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Judging by how the villagers talk about his father, it's pretty bizarre that he managed to produce an incompetent {{Jerkass}} like Chagall. |
| 179 | * MagicKnight: Chagall always carries a Silver Blade in his hand with two different magical equipment in both of his boss fights. In Chapter 2, he has a Physic staff to heal his soldiers, while in Chapter 3, he wields [[PlayingWithFire Bolganone]] to deal magic damage. |
| 180 | * OhCrap: Panics when Sigurd's troops approach Agusti and he realizes that he never had a chance of victory, and that Manfroy has been using him as a pawn. On Manfroy's suggestion, he runs to release Eldigan and beg forgivness so that Eldigan will negotiate with Sigurd. |
| 181 | * PettyChildhoodGrudge: It's indicated by his dialogue that Chagall's hatred of Eldigan and belief that he's out to get him is rooted in their childhoods. |
| 182 | * PlayingWithFire: In his last stand at Silvail, he wields Bolganone to fight against Sigurd's army. |
| 183 | * PragmaticVillainy: Chagall scolded Macbeth [[SkewedPriorities for robbing his own villages instead of following his orders from the crown to back up Boldor]] in the defense of Agustria. The Project Naga fan translation, also indicates, much of the gold, Macbeth stole, were taxes meant to go to Chagall. |
| 184 | * TheResenter: Imuka loved Eldigan like a son, and Chagall despises him for it. He takes his first opportunity to accuse Eldigan of undercutting him, humiliates him and imprisons him, and then sends troops against Nordion while it's practically defenseless. |
| 185 | * SelfMadeOrphan: Manfroy manipulated him into killing his dad for power. |
| 186 | * SingleLineOfDescent: DownplayedTrope, whilst the descendants of Hoðr's youngest daughter, whom formed a minor noble house, are still around, Chagall is the very last descendant of Hoðr's oldest son and the royal branch of the family. Unfortunately Chagall never has any children and his death results in a SuccessionCrisis for Agustria, allowing Grannevale to take over the country. |
| 187 | * SmugSnake: Part of the Jiol archetype. Chagall thinks that he is very clever for getting on the throne (even though everyone but Eldigan correctly suspects he murdered Imuka to get there) and has grand ambitions for conquering Grannvale, but his ability to command his lords is nil. He doesn't realize until too late that he's gotten himself into an almighty mess and only survives Chapter 2 because he begged Eldigan to save him. |
| 188 | * StupidEvil: While provoking Grannvale probably wasn't the smartest idea, his treatment of Eldigan (imprisoning him, ignoring his sound advice, and [[spoiler:potentially beheading him]] out of deluded jealousy despite the latter's loyalty to him beyond all reason) lands him firmly in this category. |
| 189 | * UngratefulBastard: Eldigan rescues him from Sigurd, despite having been thrown in the dungeon, and continues to be loyal and supportive of his rule despite the many reasons he shouldn't. Chagall [[spoiler:has him beheaded]]. |
| 190 | * TheWrongfulHeirToTheThrone: He committed patricide because he wanted the throne for himself and believed [[ObviouslyEvil Manfroy]] was [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter a trustworthy ally]], making himself the [[SingleLineOfDescent last Agusty]] in doing so. He is laughably incompetent at ruling Agustria, and everyone knows it. Although his father was able to keep the disunified lords in line, three of the four immediately disobey Chagall's first order to them. Eldigan goes up to the capital to talk some reason into him, Clement completely ignores his decree and declares neutrality, and Macbeth takes advantage of the situation to line his pockets with the townsfolk's money. The only lord who actually listens to Chagall does so for ulterior personal reasons, rather than because Chagall said so. Agustria's lords were ready to splinter and Chagall's incompetence is the final nail in the coffin. |
| 191 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Chagall is indicated to be around the same age as Eldigan, but his ingame portrait has a notably lined face. |

| 201 | ->'''Class:''' Paladin |
| 202 | |
| 203 | Three members of the Cross Knights who are the escorts to Princess Lachesis while Eldigan was away to meet with Chagall. Eve is the father of Tristan and Janne. |
| 204 | ---- |
| 205 | * ArtificialStupidity: Instead of defending Lachesis from a nearby distance, they charge straight into any enemy that comes within their movement range. However, you can at least try to temper this by sparing a few nearby enemies so that they will focus on killing that enemy than charging straight into the farthest enemy they can find. |
| 206 | * DisappearedDad: Eve is this for the replacement characters Tristan and Jeanne. |
| 207 | * EscortMission: While they are protecting Lachesis, their survival gives you the Knight Ring which gives the Canto skill to the holder. But good luck trying to keep them alive while [[LeeroyJenkins they gung-ho to the enemy lines and get themselves killed]]. To avert this, you have to force Lachesis to play passively as at best secondary healer (when you already have Ethlyn and Edain) and only killing a few enemies, slowing her growth for future chapters. [[MortonsFork Both paths aren't easy]]. |
| 208 | * IdenticalTwins: Triplets, in this case. They all look exactly the same. |
| 209 | * KilledOffscreen: Eve is confirmed to die between the events of the first and second generation by Janne during the Agustria Crisis. |
| 210 | * KnightInShiningArmor: All cross Knights are this by default and they can deal and receive a lot of damage. Unfortunately, they will run in to be surrounded by their opponents and get themselves killed if you aren't careful. |
| 211 | * MauveShirt: Eve actually has some significance since he is the father of Tristan and Jeanne. |
| 212 | * PaletteSwap: Of each other. |
| 213 | * RedShirt: Yeah, pretty much no chance any of them will make it to the end of the chapter unless you really book it and keep Lachesis far enough from a pool from enemies. Alva has it the worst as he starts off closest to the enemy units. |
| 214 | * UndyingLoyalty: They go into the fight knowing that they probably won't survive, but they are sworn to protect Lachesis. If it wasn't for their ArtificialStupidity, this would be more admirable. |

| 223 | * AmbitionIsEvil: He's ambitious to an almost stupid degree. He charges into Verdane with only the Heirhein army, fully intending to ignore the peace treaty that his king holds and march into Grannvale. He should've been thankful that Eldigan and the Cross Knights spared him after wiping the floor with his army, since Grannvale certainly would have been less generous. |
| 224 | * AndNowYouMustMarryMe: He intends to force Lachesis into an unwilling marriage after conquering Nordion. |
| 225 | * ButtMonkey: In Mitsuki Oosawa's manga, where he tries ''too hard'' to make Lachesis pay for every time she has put him through shame, ever since they were kids. [[spoiler:[[EpicFail All of his plots fail spectacularly]] (and amusingly) due to [[SpannerInTheWorks Eldigan's]] [[BigDamnHeroes intervention]] or due to [[HarmlessVillain his own stupidity or weakness]].]] Not surprisingly, it's also his portrayal in Nuts Fujimori's parody-ridden manga. |
| 226 | * SmugSnake: He's oblivious to how much his malice outweighs his actual capability. After he and his knights are wrecked by Eldigan, Elliot still thinks he's capable of overwhelming Nordion. (And while he ''could'' handle the skeleton force left there, he fails to account for the fact that Sigurd, having been saved by Eldigan, would be ready to return the favor.) |
| 227 | * OverlordJr: The son of the villain Boldor. You fight both of them in his second appearance. |
| 228 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: Oosawa version, via ButtMonkey designation. |
| 229 | * UnknownRival: Has a one-sided hatred of Eldigan. |

| 238 | ---- |
| 239 | * AdaptedOut: Oosawa version. |
| 240 | * AntiVillain: He may be bland, but he doesn't particularly do anything ''wrong''. If anything, his loyalty is a hallmark of why Agustria is called the "country of the chosen knights". |
| 241 | * LoopholeAbuse: If the Suzuki novelization is anything to go off of, as it heavily implies that he deliberately holds his troops back because he doesn't want to fight Nordion. |

| 258 | A greedy lord of Anphony. He sent bandits to pillage the villages nearby and hired Beowulf and Voltz to fight against Sigurd's army. |
| 259 | ---- |
| 260 | * AdiposeRex: Is a Noble, and is overweight. |
| 261 | * FatBastard: His appearance is of a chubby elderly man wearing fancy clothes. He's noticeably more corrupt than other Lords. |
| 262 | * KickTheDog: Is first seen sending bandits to rob from his own subjects. |
| 263 | * OpportunisticBastard: He's the most corrupt Lord of Agustria, taking advantage of the civil war to line his pockets with his villagers' valuables. In his first cutscene, he talks about how King Imuka never let him milk the villages of their wealth, hinting that he's tried and failed to do this in the past. |
| 264 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: The Oosawa manga has him simply be imprisoned for his crimes rather be outright killed in battle. |
| 265 | * StoutStrength: Despite being obese, he's a General with decent stats and he is equipped with a Shield Ring that bolsters his already impressive defenses. |

| 273 | ---- |
| 274 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: He and Beowulf have a brief conversation early in the chapter about how as mercenaries, they might be on opposite sides some day. |
| 275 | * ForgottenFallenFriend: A friend and maybe even mentor of Beowulf who doesn't come with him when he's hired by Sigurd. Although he did say that Beowulf can do as he wish, as long as he gets paid. He even anticipated that he might fight Beowulf one day, and Beowulf took it into consideration. |
| 276 | * PunchClockVillain: As he says himself as a mercenary, you work for a lot of different clients regardless of ideology. |
| 277 | * ZergRush: Besides himself and Beowulf, most of his Free Knight mercenaries are weaker than the Agustrian cavaliers you've fought earlier but they are far more numerous that they can kill a weakened unit through repeated attacks if you're not careful. |

| 285 | ---- |
| 286 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Given how neutral he is in the base game, he's much more antagonistic in the manga adaptations. |
| 287 | * AntiVillain: There's not anything particularly evil about him; he locks his borders down and keeps his nose out of the conflict when the civil war starts, and only grows hostile after Sigurd kills Boldor and Macbeth. Seeing the other lords' deaths leads him to believe Grannvale is planning to conquer Agustria [[spoiler: which comes true in Chapter 3 when Grannvale officials sent to govern Agustria abuse their power, a prelude to Grannvale's transformation into TheEmpire]] , driving him to prepare his forces and sides with Chagall in order to fight off the invaders. |
| 288 | * FatBastard: Averted, he's comparatively less corrupt than the other Agustrian lords. |
| 289 | * ForcedSleep: His weapon of choice is the Sleep staff, which can be used at long-range. In the Oosawa manga, he's quite proud of this magic. |

| 298 | ---- |
| 299 | * AntiCavalry: He is armed with a Horseslayer spear that makes him a dangerous threat to even your most powerful cavalry units. In the Oosawa manga, it's portrayed as basically bigger than Zyne himself. |
| 300 | * AntiVillain: In Oosawa's manga, where his personality is fleshed out as a very sympathetic and patriotic captain. It makes you feel sorry for him the next time that you face him in the game. |
| 301 | * AscendedExtra: The Oosawa manga gave him a lot of screentime and personality. |

| 306 | ** The fanbase goes on to call the rest of the palette swaps as "Harolds" or Harold clones despite Zyne being the first one to use this portrait. |

| 317 | * ShockAndAwe: He comes with a Thunder Sword and is not afraid to call upon its power... |
| 318 | * TheWorfEffect: Oosawa manga has him getting one-shotted by Tailtiu in her introduction by showing him a higher-class thunder spell: Thoron. |

| 325 | ---- |
| 326 | * TheGoodKing: He was loved by his people, in which one of the villagers says that he has a good soul. He also desires a peaceful co-existence with Grannvale, and kept the more power-hungry lords in check. Tellingly, when Chagall murdered him, everything goes to hell for the villagers now that the power-hungry lords can do whatever they want to terrorize them. |
| 327 | * PosthumousCharacter: He's still alive in the beginning of the game, maintaining the alliance between Agustria and Grannvale behind the scenes, but he is not named until the narration announces his death and the immediate, disastrous ramifications. |

| 335 | ---- |
| 336 | * AllThereInTheManual: Her identity is revealed in the ''Fire Emblem Complete.'' |
| 337 | * DerailingLoveInterests: The Oosawa manga, instead of featuring her, uses a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute named Iria. And it's clear that Oosawa '''really''' hates Iria, as she's portrayed as a RichBitch who loathes Lachesis and acts like a ClingyJealousGirl when around Eldigan. Since Oosawa ships Eldigan/Lachesis, well... At the same time, however, Iria's final scene in Gen 1 acknowledges that she's in a rather stressful situation not only with the mess surrounding Grannvale's occupation, but the fact that her husband is in love with his own sister. |
| 338 | * MissingMom: She was killed during the invasion of the Manster District by Grannvale. |
| 339 | * PrincessesPreferPink: In the one picture we see of her. |
| 340 | * TheOjou: Given what little we know about her, particularly judging by her one picture, she's one of these, given that she has no combat abilities that we know of. |

| 354 | * FillerVillain: Considering how little happens between [[spoiler:Eldigan's death and the fall of Agustria]] and [[spoiler:Sigurd branded as a traitor by Grannvale]], he just there to fill the air. |

| 383 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YasunoriMatsumoto (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/JasonMarnocha (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'') |
| 384 | |
| 385 | The king of Thracia who desires a strong future for Thracia. He is willing to commit any crimes to do so. |
| 386 | ---- |
| 387 | * AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:While more ambiguous in the game up until the point where Altena starts having doubts, the Nea Fuyuki manga suggests that he was rather cruel to her while she was growing up.]] |
| 388 | * AdaptationalHeroism: The Oosawa manga tones down his more ruthless, smug, opportunistic attitude, making him a more conflicted man, especially when he developed feelings for Ethlyn. He also did not give the order to take Altena hostage (another rider did that on his own volition) or tell Quan to drop the Gáe Bolg for her safety (he did it on his own volition), and his decision to adopt Altena was more to honor Ethlyn's death rather than an opportunity to use Gáe Bolg for his own ends. He's still a villain, but not an utter bastard like in the original. He ultimately decides his own death in the manga, leaning into Leif's sword with the intention of ending everything. |
| 389 | %%* AmbitionIsEvil: Becomes this by default. |
| 390 | * AncestralWeapon: Gungnir, the lance wielded by the Crusader Dáin. |
| 391 | * AntiVillain: Everything he does is for the good of his nation and his people. |
| 392 | * BaritoneOfStrength: In the English dub of ''Heroes'', Jason Marnocha gives him a very deep and intimidating voice befitting the mighty king of Thracia. |
| 393 | * BadBoss: [[IHaveYourWife Kidnaps the kid]] of his own General due to the worry that he'd turn traitor. |
| 394 | * BetrayalByInaction: Before Travant can make good on the Aed Massacre and take Leonster, Bloom swoops in and claims the region for Grannvale. Travant knows he can't beat Grannvale in a stand-up fight, so he bides his time for an opportunity that comes when Bloom loses his hold on Alster. Bloom frantically appeals to Travant for backup from the Thracian dragonriders. Travant gleefully ignores his messages and sits back to wait for Bloom and Seliph's forces to weaken each other so he can take the territory he's been trying to seize for twenty years. |
| 395 | * DragonRider: His Dragon is pure black in the battle animations. |
| 396 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: By the time Seliph and co. actually get to fight him, Travant is well aware that his end has come, seeing as how he passes Gungnir on to Arion before heading out to battle. |
| 397 | * HeelRealization: In ''Thracia 776'', Travant says he's aware that his crimes have damned him to hell, but it'll be worth it if it moves Thracia out of its CrapsackWorld status. |
| 398 | -->"My wish is to rebuild Thracia into that prosperous nation that Dáinn and Njörun created. ...And if that process dooms me to Hell, then so be it.” |
| 399 | * AHeroToHisHometown: While the rest of Jugdral paints him as a ruthless warlord, he is considered by the Thracians as TheGoodKing, recognizing that all of his ruthless actions are for the sake of the poverty-stricken kingdom. This causes problems for Seliph and his rebellion when they invade Thracia. |
| 400 | * HeroicLineage: He is the primary descendent of the Dáinn bloodline. |
| 401 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Travant withholding support from Bloom did not result in one destroyed and one weakened force as he'd expected. Instead, the Liberation Army fully occupies Munster, meaning that Travant has no choice but to fight his way out through an army that was a lot stronger than he thought. |
| 402 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Discussed by Leif and Finn. After learning that Travant raised Altenna since childhood, Leif wavers, thinking that [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold maybe despite his ruthless action, Travant has a heart.]] Finn then reveals that he raises her only so his army can use the Gáe Bolg for Thracia's cause. Leif than takes his compliment back, more convinced that Travant is a black-hearted fiend just as he thought before. |
| 403 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: |
| 404 | ** [[spoiler:Killing Quan]], considering how much [[spoiler:Quan]] tried his best and yet still messed up. In fact, by doing this, he essentially managed to fulfill both his own and [[spoiler:Quan's]] dream. |
| 405 | ** And if it wasn't for him jumping the gun on forcing Hannibal's loyalty via kidnapping Coirpre/Charlot, Hannibal most likely never would have [[HeelFaceTurn joined with Seliph's army]] at all, ''and'' Coirpre/Charlot wouldn't have joined either. |
| 406 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Travant presents himself as a cool and snarky opportunist, but Chapter 9 has him frequently being emotional and losing his cool to the point his son Arion is surprised at his behavior [[spoiler:Due to the fact he unwittingly forced himself and his kingdom into a conflict with Seliph's rebellion and being disturbed by Altena's rebellious attitude and her resemblance to her true parents.]] |
| 407 | * PowerNullifier: Comes with the Nihil skill which negates critical hits and weapon effectiveness, paralleling Michalis' Iote Shield. |
| 408 | * PromotedToPlayable: Makes his playable debut as a [=SpotPass=] character in ''Awakening''. |
| 409 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: As the NobleDemon who sides with the enemy faction to improve the standing of his nation, he is part of the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Michalis]] archetype. |
| 410 | * TallDarkAndSnarky: A strong, dark-haired man with a penchant for sarcasm. |
| 411 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He'll do absolutely '''anything''' to save his beloved Thracia, [[CrapsackWorld which has gone through horribly hard times]]. By '''anything''', we mean: first, he [[spoiler:ambushes and kills Quan and Ethlyn in the worst and cruelest way possible, taking their daughter Altena hostage to raise her on his own so she can use the Gáe Bolg sacred lance for him]]; and 17 years later, he [[spoiler:uses poor Coirpre/Charlot as a hostage to force Hannibal to work for him]]. |
| 412 | * XanatosGambit: A rather clever one, possibly. [[spoiler:If his plan regarding Thracia worked, Thracia will be ruled by his much more well-liked children, Arion (biological) and Altena (adopted, sort-of) and hopefully be able to move from its CrapsackWorld state. In the story, his plan failed and Leif becomes the one who united Thracia, which is Quan's dream. However, Arion survived by the end of the game, and Thracia is able to move from its CrapsackWorld state all the same. It should be noted that by killing Quan, the entirety of Thracia view him and Ethlyn as a tragic hero, giving Leif a much more favorable position for his claim to the throne.]] |

| 427 | * AntiVillain: Very kind and gentle, but he ''happens'' to be Travant's son and heir as well as a powerful enemy thanks to being the only one aside from Travant able to use the very powerful Gungnir. |
| 428 | * ArrangedMarriage: Revealed to be engaged to Linoan in ''Thracia 776''. |
| 429 | * DragonRider: His mount is pitch black like his father's. |
| 430 | * GenderFlip: In the Nea Fuyuki manga. |
| 431 | * HeroicLineage: Of the Dáinn bloodline. |
| 432 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: He pretends to turn on Altena and kill her in order to protect her from Travant. |
| 433 | * HonorBeforeReason: An antagonistic example. After [[spoiler:Travant's death and his succession as king of Thracia, he refuses a truce with Seliph and co. out of Thracian pride. Lewyn even notes that he'd been hoping, after all that's been said about Arion, that he'd be more reasonable]]. |
| 434 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: The Nea Fuyuki manga portrays him as being this for Altena, having been the only person to be kind to her while she was growing up. |
| 435 | * MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: It's even pointed out by a villager that he's much nicer than his father Travant. |
| 436 | * MyCountryRightOrWrong: Loyal to Thracia (and, by association, Travant) above all else. This tends to put him into conflict with Altena. |
| 437 | * PowerNullifier: Like his father, Arion has Nihil to negate critical hits and weapon effectiveness. |
| 438 | * {{Pride}}: Travant's [[spoiler:final words to him]] when he hands off the Gungnir are to "do as you see fit" and a wish that Thracia no longer be despised by the rest of the continent, hinting that he'd have no objections if Arion ended the war and turned Thracia around. Unfortunately, Arion decides that declaring a truce is an undignifed end to a Thracian warrior and resolves to keep fighting until the bitter end. |
| 439 | * PrivateMilitaryContractors: As is common for Thracia's Dragon Knights. [[spoiler:Specifically, Julius hires his services for the final chapter.]] |
| 440 | * PromotedToPlayable: He makes his playable debut in ''Heroes''. |
| 441 | * RemovedAchillesHeel: Due to Nihil preventing the unit from receiving critical hits and bow effectiveness against flying units is dealt as a critical hit, Arion cannot be felled by bows easily. |
| 442 | * SkippableBoss: After Friege is seized, Arion and a small group of wyvren knights will attempt to seize Chalphy while Seliph and most of his army isn't looking. You can either choose to send someone to Chalphy to defend it against him, or send in Altena and have her talk to him. Doing the latter method will convince Arion to change his mind and will convert him and his squad of wyvren knights to become allies. |
| 443 | * SparedButNotForgiven: He can be persuaded to turn neutral by Altena in the final chapter and pledges to fight for her sake. Even if he survives, though, Altena says that they aren't going to start working together like nothing happened, as it doesn't feel right to either of them after everything that's happened. |
| 444 | * StarCrossedLovers: He and Altena. [[spoiler:Though she can recruit him in the Final Chapter, albeit as an allied unit rather than a player unit]]. |
| 445 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: |
| 446 | ** Parallels [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Michalis]]' role as the female Wyvern Rider's close relative/love interest that [[CainAndAbel ends up antagonistic in the end]]. |
| 447 | ** He also bears many similarities to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Camus]], both being good people from the enemy nation, wielding legendary lances from atop a mount. Both characters also wear predominately black, with Camus having some gold areas on his clothes and Arion having some red areas. |
| 448 | %%* TallDarkAndHandsome |

| 450 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: If he and Altena both survive, no mention is made of him in the epilogue. [[spoiler:Altena is the one who takes over Thracia to encourage the people to unify with their northern neighbors. ''Thracia 776'' gives an explanation by stating that he was severely wounded, presumably keeping him out of restoration efforts.]] |

| 568 | One of the Four Heavenly Knights of Silesse who supports Myos in his rebellion. She is the mother of Misha in ''Thracia 776''. |
| 569 | ---- |
| 570 | * ActionMom: She's the mother of ''Thracia 776'''s Misha, but more or less a [[DarkActionGirl Dark Action Mom]] who actually cared for her daughter. |
| 571 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: Is less creepy looking in artwork. |
| 572 | * AdaptationalWeaponSwap: Díthorba in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' wields a Silver Sword. ''Heroes'' has her wield lances instead, specifically a Firesweep Lance. |
| 573 | * AscendedExtra: She's a rather one-note sub-boss in her home game, but she gets to have her daughter become playable in ''Thracia 776'' and becomes playable herself in ''Heroes''. |
| 574 | * BadassBoast: One of her level up quotes in ''Heroes'': |
| 575 | -->'''Díthorba:''' I am Díthorba, of the Four Heavenly Knights of Silesse. The skies are ours! All those under us will kneel! |
| 576 | * BondOneLiner: Not necessarily said upon her opponent's death since it is a level up quote, however she sports a badass one in ''Heroes'': |
| 577 | -->'''Díthorba:''' Shame you had to die, but you may count yourself unfortunate having met me on the field of battle. |
| 578 | * DarkActionGirl: A powerful warrior who assists Myos in his attempt to overthrow the legitimate queen of Silesse. ''Heroes'' imply that she personally believed that said queen would bring ruin to Silesse and she joined Myos, whom she believed to be more capable, to save the country. |
| 579 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She genuinely loves and cares for her daughter Misha, and one of her lines in ''Heroes'' has her hope that she is safe. |
| 580 | * FaceHeelTurn: She assisted Myos' rebellion and turned against the queen. |
| 581 | * PaletteSwap: Not her, actually, but she would begin the trend for almost every female enemy portrait looking exactly like her. |
| 582 | * PetTheDog: Not visible in her limited dialogue in the original game, but in ''Heroes'' it's revealed that despite her DarkActionGirl credentials she still cares for her daughter Misha and hopes that she grows up to be a proper ActionGirl. |
| 583 | * PromotedToPlayable: She makes her playable debut in ''Heroes''. |
| 584 | * TheRival: In ''Heroes'' she considers Annand and Pamela ones for the position of captain of the Four Heavenly Knights. Erinys less so, whom she dismisses as an amateur and crybaby. |
| 585 | -->'''Díthorba:''' With this, neither Annand nor Pamela will be able to stand against me. I will lead the Heavenly Knights! |
| 586 | * VillainHasAPoint: Her character was expanded in ''Heroes'' to include her reasons why she defected to Myos who was planning to usurp the throne after his brother the king died, that she did not trust the rule of Queen Lahna and the late king's son Lewyn. Considering Lahna's pacifist stance towards the increasingly aggressive Grannvale and Lewyn's lackadaisical and womanizing nature and penchant for suddenly disappearing to wander outside Silesse (although still caring for the country like a prince would) her reasons were not unfounded. |

| 627 | * AdaptationDyeJob: The Oosawa manga gave her blue hair, despite having green hair in the game. |
| 628 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Is depicted as more sympathetic in the Oosawa manga, showing some remorse for killing Annand. By comparison, the game version of Pamela was a PsychoForHire who bragged about killing Annand in her boss quote with Lewyn and Erinys. |

| 781 | |
| 782 | Duke of Yngvi and the father of Brigid, Edain, and Andrei. He was one of Kurth's trusted advisers. |
| 783 | ---- |
| 784 | * AscendedExtra: In the Oosawa manga, he got some more development. Still not enough to avoid his death. |
| 785 | * GoryDiscretionShot: Toyed with in the Oosawa manga. We ''do'' see his death... but it's from Byron and Kurth's POV, meaning that we only see his back and some blood [[ImpromptuTracheotomy as he gets an arrow to the throat.]] |
| 786 | * HeroicLineage: Of the Ulir bloodline. |
| 787 | * InformedAbility: As major Ulir, he's supposed to be a good archer, yet Edain has the Yewfelle so she can give it to Brigid and he gets killed off-screen (or not, in the manga) by his own son Andrey. |
| 788 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Especially in the single scene in the Oosawa manga, which has him discussing [[spoiler:Kurth's plans to search for his heir/heiress]] with Byron and Kurth. |

| 797 | |
| 798 | The only son of Duke Ring of Yngvi and younger brother of Brigid and Edain. |
| 799 | ---- |
| 800 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: He isn't ''that'' ugly in-game, but is more of a LongHairedPrettyBoy [[http://images.wikia.com/fireemblem/images/4/49/Andorey.jpg in official art.]] Similarly, in the Oosawa manga, he's a straight up case of DudeLooksLikeALady. |
| 801 | * AdaptedOut: Fujimori version. |
| 802 | * AmbitionIsEvil: His ambition to rule Yngvi. |
| 803 | * CainAndAbel: Brigid and Edain's evil younger brother. |
| 804 | * DeathSeeker: His characterization in the Oosawa manga, portraying him as someone who is crushed under the pressure of being better than Brigid to the point that he wanted to make Brigid hate him enough so she'd kill him and release him from that burden. [[spoiler:He gets what he wanted.]] |
| 805 | * HatesTheirParent: According to a villager in the first map, there was obvious friction between him and Ring when he saw them. Though the reason behind this is never revealed. |
| 806 | * HeroicLineage: Of the Ulir bloodline, and like those above him, not quite as heroic as his ancestors ''or'' siblings. |
| 807 | * HorseArcher: His class allows him to shoot on horseback. |
| 808 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Is made a HeManWomanHater in the Oosawa manga, especially when [[spoiler:he mocks what remains of Pamela's honor and openly tells her that women are only there to physically pleasure men. In addition, he [[BoomHeashot shot a woman in the head]] despite being his accomplice who had stolen Brigid's Yewfelle for him]]. |
| 809 | * SelfMadeOrphan: Killed his own father for power. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Not even his fellow conspirator Lombard liked that.]] |
| 810 | * SmugSnake: He's such an asshole, even ''other'' Smug Snakes dislike him. |
| 811 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: |
| 812 | ** According to Brigid, in the Oosawa manga. |
| 813 | -->'''Brigid''': When I delve into my memories of him, I see him smiling like a little angel... So why would he do such a thing like killing our father to take over as the head of the family? |
| 814 | ** [[WordOfGod The notes of Shouzou Kaga]] also supports this, portraying Andrey as a [[ShrinkingViolet timid and scaredy-cat boy]] during the day the Yngvi house lost Brigid. He certainly [[TookALevelInBadass becomes braver in the future]], but [[TookALevelInJerkass at the cost of his conscience]]. |

| 821 | ->'''Class:''' Master Knight |
| 822 | |
| 823 | The son of Lord Andrei. He sought to avenge his father's death by attacking Seliph's army. He holds hatred towards his cousins, who he sees as traitors to House Yngvi. |
| 824 | ---- |
| 825 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: Just like his dad and Ishtore, he isn't that ugly in-game, [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Scopio.jpg but he's handsomer in art.]] And unlike in-game, he also actually looks different from Andrey in the aforementioned art. |
| 826 | * AvengingTheVillain: His dad asks him to do it upon his death, and Scipio intends to do just that. |
| 827 | * ClashingCousins: If Scipio fights his male cousins, Lester and Febail, he is eager to kill them for being children of his "traitorous" aunts. Strangely, he has nothing special to say to his female cousins, Lana and Patty. |
| 828 | * HeroicLineage: Despite his father having minor Ulir holy blood, Scipio does not. |
| 829 | * HorseArcher: Much like most of House Yngvi, he excels in archery, more specifically mounted archery. |
| 830 | * PaletteSwap: Has the same portrait as his father. |
| 831 | * SkippableBoss: Since he and the Beige Ritter are tied to Friege, seizing the castle will cause him and every other enemy units to disappear. |
| 832 | * SmugSnake: From what little we do know of him, he seems to be just as smug as his father. |
| 833 | * WalkingArmory: Like all Master Knights, he is theoretically capable of wielding almost any non-holy weapon in the game, although in practice he only carries a Killer Bow. |
| 834 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Is only introduced as a boss, and is then shortly killed off (or disappears when Friege is seized if the player hasn't killed him by then, as with all other enemy units). |

| 844 | |
| 845 | The former duke of Velthomer and the father of Arvis and Azelle. Known for having many affairs, despite having a wife: Cigyun. He committed suicide after finding out that she had an affair with Prince Kurth. |
| 846 | ---- |
| 847 | * TheCasanova: He was infamous for being a womanizer. |
| 848 | * CheaterGetsCheatedOn: Victor's serial cheating, his wife having one affair in response, his [[{{Hypocrite}} reaction]] to it, and the fallout from it all forms much of the game's backstory. |
| 849 | * DisappearedDad: To Arvis (and Azelle). |
| 850 | * EvilRedhead: Arvis got his red hair from him. As for the evil part, he was an abusive jackass and a serial rapist. |
| 851 | * HateSink: He's basically the last generation of Jugdral's HateSink, even when compared to Lombard and Reptor who at least had slight redeeming qualities or [[VillainHasAPoint points.]] He's a womanizing rapist bastard who had tons of negative qualities without redeeming ones, and [[SmallRoleBigImpact his actions practically enabled Manfroy to do his plan to revive Loptous, without knowing each other.]] |
| 852 | * HeroicLineage: Of the Fjalar bloodline, although he's not as heroic as his predecessor. At all. |
| 853 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He was known to have several lovers while married to Cigyun (and was a rapist to boot), but when ''she'' had ''one'' affair, he [[spoiler:[[FreakOut flipped out]], wrote a suicide note full of insults towards her and her lover, and killed himself]]. |
| 854 | * {{Jerkass}}: He really has no redeeming values. |
| 855 | * PosthumousCharacter: He died about 18 or so years before the start of the game. |
| 856 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Victor's lifespan in-game is super short, but without his asshole philandering ways, Kurth would not feel the need to comfort and had an affair with Cigyun, which led to the birth of Deirdre, who was vital to Manfroy's plan to revive Loptous. Yeah, a lot could have been avoided if Victor for once stopped being a womanizing jerk. |
| 857 | * SpurnedIntoSuicide: [[spoiler:When Cigyun cheated on him, he was so humiliated that he wrote a letter denouncing her and her lover and either hung himself (game) or drank poison/stabbed himself (Oosawa manga).]] |

| 867 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShowHayami (Japanese, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/XanderMobus (English, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'') |
| 868 | |
| 869 | The duke of Velthomer and the captain of the Royal Guard. Given the title of duke after his father's death, he is a cunning and calculative man. He desires a world free of corruption and prejudice, though his encounter with the dark cult changed the continent forever... |
| 870 | ---- |
| 871 | * EightiesHair: He might be from TheNineties himself in terms of release, but ''good lord'', he's got this going on, especially as a younger man. His perfect red locks would make Fabio jealous. His hair actually [[LongHairedPrettyBoy bounces]] in ''Heroes''. |
| 872 | * AffablyEvil: Actually [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] by Chrom and Robin in ''Awakening''[='=]s Lost Bloodlines 2 DLC, to the point where they wonder if [[WrittenByTheWinners the sagas got him wrong]]. [[spoiler:Him being an AntiVillain may have something to do with it.]] In ''Heroes'', he's arrogant for sure, and still willing to justify [[spoiler:what he does to Sigurd]], but he gets along fairly well with the Summoner and is still shown to deeply love his wife and daughter. |
| 873 | * AloofBigBrother: As flawed as he might be, he won't hesitate to tell Sigurd how much Azelle means to him. |
| 874 | * AntiVillain: He is caught between a rock and a hard place where he either goes along with Manfroy's plans or is outed as a descendent of Loptous, which would result in his swift execution. Arvis tries to use his position in the Loptosians' schemes to reform Grannvale and put an end to the pointless wars once they put him on the throne, and he ''does'' succeed in doing so until his son Julius takes over. |
| 875 | * ArtificialStupidity: When you fight him in Chapter 10, he ''never'' uses the Silver Blade he has in his inventory. Now, obviously, he would rather use his powerful Valflame, but if [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmvfEmuOC-E you somehow hack your units to silence him]], he never uses the Silver Blade despite enemies being capable of switching weapons when it is necessary. |
| 876 | * TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:While he is a BigBadWannabe when accounting for the entire story, he got what he wanted at the end of Generation 1. Unfortunately, [[PyrrhicVictory he has long since choked on it by the time Seliph's story begins]].]] |
| 877 | * BaitTheDog: Early in the game, he's presented as a very aloof but nonetheless powerful ally on Sigurd's side, supporting his cause. Even after Lombard and Reptor rallied to hunt Sigurd and declaring him traitor, Arvis kept a cool head and stayed by Azmur's side, showing no signs of downright antagonism. It's eventually topped with [[spoiler:suddenly turning his back against Reptor and killing him when Sigurd needed it the most, and declaring that Sigurd was innocent. Right after that, he reveals that it's all a lie, and Sigurd's still scheduled for execution... by himself]]. |
| 878 | * BreakTheHaughty: To the point where [[IWasQuiteALooker it ages him HORRIBLY]]. |
| 879 | * BrotherSisterIncest: [[spoiler:Had twin kids with his memory-wiped younger half-sister, Deirdre. According to some notes, at first he didn't know she was his sister, and when he learned the truth, he still was so in love with her that he decided it didn't matter anymore. The Oosawa manga switches things around: he genuinely doesn't know anything until Julius goes CreepyChild on him and Deirdre, while Deirdre herself had already realized it and manages to tell him before dying.]] |
| 880 | * AChildShallLeadThem: He succeeded his father as the Duke of Velthomer at the age of seven. He technically did it more or less well, though he was also seen as cold and iron-fisted. |
| 881 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: It's undeniable that the man's life ''sucked balls'' ever since he was a child. To start with, his father's behavior was so awful that everyone in Grannvale high society pitied his mother. Then, he gets a new baby brother who is ''not'' his mother's child. Then his father commits suicide and leaves a note denouncing his mother and the prince as adulterers, which then causes his mother to flee without trace and leaving Arvis, a seven-year-old boy, as the heir in the wake of this complete scandal and ruin. The Oosawa manga goes into detail about his past. |
| 882 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:He hates the child hunts so much that he comes up with a BatmanGambit to thwart them with Ishtar's help.]] |
| 883 | * EvilRedhead: Well, Extremely Morally Ambiguous Redhead, at any rate. |
| 884 | * FatalFlaw: Ambition: he's so blinded by his ideals of equality and peace that he causes Jugdral more harm than good. [[spoiler:His domination of the entire continent also meant that when the empire was put into the hands of [[BigBad Julius]], everything went to hell quickly.]] |
| 885 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: His luck stat at max level is only a 4. Predictably, his life has turned out to be pretty rotten. |
| 886 | * TheHeavy: [[spoiler:Arvis is TheChessmaster villain PlayingBothSides so he can TakeOverTheWorld and make TheEmpire in Generation 1 and TheEmperor ''apparently'' ruling over said empire in Generation 2, although by that point he's just a PuppetKing. Still, the guy has a huge role in Generation 2: He's the murderer of the father of TheHero Seliph, the father of the {{Deuteragonist}} Julia, and one of the two imperial officers saving children from the child hunts (the other being Ishtar)]]. |
| 887 | * HeroKiller: The most infamous example in the series. [[spoiler:Arvis [[NastyParty betrays and kills Sigurd]], as well as almost ''everyone'' in his army. The confirmed survivors can be counted on one hand.]] |
| 888 | * HeroicLineage: Of the Fjalar bloodline. He took pride in the Fjalar bloodline and it was his reason to usher in a peaceful regime [[spoiler:after the Battle of Bellhalla. Didn't help him that much, in the end]]. When Manfroy is blackmailing him, Arvis also defiantly points out that his Loptous blood is from ''Maera'', who rebelled against the rest of his evil family. |
| 889 | * HeManWomanHater: Was this in his past, due to his JerkAss father's philandering [[spoiler:and his mom Cigyun's disappearance]]. When this happened, young Arvis had all of his dad's mistresses kicked out of the Velthomer court save for Azelle's mother, and except for Aida, he became very bitter towards ladies. [[spoiler:Until Deirdre came along, that is.]] |
| 890 | * HistoricalVillainUpgrade: As much of a villain as he was, dialogue from ''Awakening'' suggests he's been remembered in Judgral sagas as ''the'' bad guy of his time, which ignores his DarkAndTroubledPast and the fact there were ''other'' villains active at the time who manipulated him and made him a PuppetKing. As such, in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' when Chrom and his party fight alongside an Einherjar of Arvis in the Lost Bloodlines DLC, Chrom is taken aback by how nice he comes off as and he and Robin speculate he is considered a villain principally [[WrittenByTheWinners because he lost]]. |
| 891 | * HopeSpot: In the Oosawa manga, [[spoiler:as he finds the now not!mindwiped Deirdre and Sigurd, he gives him a huge and [[BrokenTears tearful]] MotiveRant where he explains his DarkAndTroubledPast and begs Deirdre "PleaseDontLeaveMe". Sigurd, as an AllLovingHero, speaks to him kindly and tries to win him over, and it looks like it might work... One GoryDiscretionShot and scene later, a mentally and emotionally broken Arvis has burned Sigurd to death and caused Deirdre to mentally collapse [[TheOphelia Ophelia-style]].]] |
| 892 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: In ''Heroes'', he stubbornly maintains that to build a just world, [[spoiler:Sigurd had to die]]. |
| 893 | * {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:He canonically has an illegitimate son of his own, who appears in ''Thracia 776''.]] |
| 894 | * IHaveYourWife: Literally does this, unknowingly or not, [[spoiler:to Sigurd right before he murders him in cold blood]]. |
| 895 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler:So he steals Sigurd's wife, kills him and his allies, takes over the kingdom, and appoints himself as emperor. What did that get him? Being made into a PuppetKing as Manfroy and Prince Julius rule from the shadows, and completely unable to do a thing to the point that he has to ask the children of the people he killed for help!]] |
| 896 | * KickTheDog: Twice: |
| 897 | ** At the end of Chapter 5, [[spoiler:he has Sigurd's amnesiac former wife brought to him to show off that she is ''his'' wife now. While he only had suspicions that Deirdre was Sigurd's wife, confirming it in that manner to a man he intended to kill was a major dick move.]] |
| 898 | ** If [[spoiler:Seliph fights him, he mocks Sigurd's memory to his face. The implication is that he is intentionally provoking Seliph so he can get himself killed at this point.]] |
| 899 | * LikeParentLikeSpouse: Arvis ends up falling in love with Deirdre at first sight. While he recognizes that the woman reminds him of his mother, he [[spoiler:didn't learn about her being his literal sister until a later point.]] |
| 900 | * MagicKnight: He's proficient in more traditional weaponry as [[spoiler:an Emperor]], but he prefers to just nuke everything with Valflame. |
| 901 | * MightyGlacier: His Valflame tome gives him an astounding +10 bonus to his already high magic and grants the same to both defense and resistance (which also becomes sky high in the second generation). However, its 15 weight devours his otherwise excellent speed, taking it down from 30 to 15. |
| 902 | * TheNeedsOfTheMany: He won't stop at any extreme to achieve his dreams of peace, even in ''Heroes'' he encourages the Summoner to shape the future as ideally as possible. |
| 903 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Okay, so [[spoiler:he is [[BigBadWannabe definitely not a hero]], [[CavalryBetrayal let alone on Sigurd's side]]]], but [[spoiler:he [[WellIntentionedExtremist genuinely thinks that what he's doing is for the best, and that he can unify Jugdral and make it flourish into a land where no one has to suffer inequality or discrimination.]] Problem is, he's working with the [[ReligionOfEvil Loptr Church]] to achieve his goals, and by killing Sigurd and his army, he robbed himself of a set of powerful and [[UndyingLoyalty loyal]] potential allies who [[XanatosSpeedChess could have been a failsafe for his plans in case the Loptr Church grew too big for him to handle]]. As a result, when the Loptr Church seize power and the child hunts begin, [[PuppetKing he's completely powerless to stop them]].]] To his credit [[spoiler:he does seem to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize where he went wrong]], and [[TheAtoner sends Seliph]] [[SuicideByCop the Tyrfing]]]]. |
| 904 | * PlayingWithFire: Valflame, his magical tome. |
| 905 | * PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''. |
| 906 | -->"I sentence you to death."\ |
| 907 | "For a better world."\ |
| 908 | "Opposing me is treason."\ |
| 909 | "Hellfire upon you!" |
| 910 | * PromotedToPlayable: Makes his playable debut as a [=SpotPass=] character in ''Awakening''. |
| 911 | * PromotionToParent: At ''seven years old'', even. When Victor died [[spoiler:or better said, killed himself]], the young Arvis took baby Azelle under his wing, and as soon as he saw him in the Oosawa manga. |
| 912 | * PuppetKing: [[spoiler:Becomes this as Emperor in Generation 2. With Manfroy and Prince Julius calling all the shots, Arvis is rendered completely powerless.]] |
| 913 | * RecurringElement: Depending on the generation, Arvis can represent two previously used archetypes of the series: |
| 914 | ** In generation 1, he shares elements with [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Michalis]], being the overambitious, yet noble antagonist who will stoop to the lowest of low in order to make his people prosper, [[spoiler:in his case, betraying Sigurd in the cruelest way possible and succeeding at that, though by the end of it, he also makes good on his word to create a better world, until Manfroy ruined everything]]. |
| 915 | ** In generation 2, now decked with heavy armor and being the emperor of Granvalle [[spoiler:and looking very pitiful after [[BreakTheHaughty realizing how his plan fell apart due to miscalculation]], for [[AntiVillain sympathy points]]]], he took after [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Rudolf]]. |
| 916 | * SuicideByCop: [[spoiler:Heavily implied, given that he gave Palmarch the [[MageKiller Tyrfing]] to give to Seliph.]] |
| 917 | * TragicVillain: [[spoiler:By the time Seliph actually faces him, he's an utterly broken man who is all but explicitly stated to be fighting you to commit SuicideByCop, and even taking [[HeroKiller what he does]] into account, it's hard not to feel sorry for him. Even Seliph, who has [[YouKilledMyFather every reason to hate the guy]], says that [[VengeanceFeelsEmpty killing him feels empty]], and in the epilogue he will say to Azelle's son (if he survived) that he no longer holds any hatred for Arvis, and that he was as much a victim of fate as anyone else.]] |
| 918 | * VillainousLineage: His Loptous blood, inherited from Cigyun. Although he is from the line of Maera, and not TheEmperor Gair, this wouldn't matter to anyone who believes that everyone with Loptous blood should die (which is most of Jugdral). Manfroy ropes him into the Loptr Church's schemes by threatening to expose him, which would probably lead to a quick and messy death. And Gair or Maera, this evil blood does make him capable of siring a new vessel for Loptous. |
| 919 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:He possibly would have managed to truly unify Grannvale, or at least have Velthomer take the lead spot for the greater good, if not for Manfroy's manipulations turning his Empire into tyranny.]] |
| 920 | * {{Yandere}}: Arguably, [[spoiler:for Deirdre]]. That would certainly explain why [[spoiler:he brought her BrainwashedAndCrazy self to Sigurd's presence to show off how she was ''his'' wife now, before killing him]], though [[http://serenesforest.net/general/designers-notes/holy-war/playing-guide/ the game's playing guide]] suggests that it was more about [[spoiler:testing Deirdre's reaction to Sigurd, having heard rumors that Sigurd's wife had gone missing in Agustria around the same time he met Deirdre]]. |

| 983 | ->'''Class:''' Dark Prince |
| 984 | ->'''Holy blood:'''[[note]]not a playable character, but it'll be mentioned for story reasons[[/note]] Loptous [Major], Fjalar [Minor] |
| 985 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakahiroSakurai (Japanese, ''Videogame/FireEmblemHeroes''), Creator/GriffinBurns (English, ''Videogame/FireEmblemHeroes'') |
| 986 | |
| 987 | The son of Emperor Arvis and the vessel to the dark dragon Loptous. |
| 988 | ---- |
| 989 | * AmbiguousSituation: It's not entirely clear whether Loptous is in [[DemonicPossession full control]] of Julius or he is under MoreThanMindControl. On one hand, according to [[spoiler:Julia]], he UsedToBeASweetKid and a loving brother until he was given the Loptous tome. On the other hand, he developed a relationship with Ishtar which he retained after getting the Loptous tome. It's also possible that both interpretations are true at different points, with him starting out as being merely influenced by Loptous while descending into full possession the longer he holds on to the tome. To add to the uncertainty, his description in ''Heroes'' simply says "Prince of the Grannvale Empire. Was once a kind boy but suddenly came to have a cruel nature." ''Thracia 776'' heavily implies that in his childhood, Julius had a problem with consistent illness, and that since Loptous began influencing him the severity and frequency of his illnesses had been steadily increasing. The only thing crystal clear about his actions is that his dying words were Loptous', not his. |
| 990 | * TheAntichrist: He was born from the Loptr Church's century-long plan of birthing a vessel of their dark god and restoring the Loptrian Empire. As the scion of Loptous, he inherits the dark god's power. |
| 991 | * AxCrazy: Thanks to the Loptous tome, he's completely off his rocker. |
| 992 | * BigBad: By Generation 2, Julius has become more in sync with Loptous than ever before, taking center stage as the mastermind of events from that point forward alongside his faithful servant Manfroy. |
| 993 | * BloodKnight: He happily engages in a "rebel hunt" for fun in Chapter 10, and instead of trying to overpower your army while he's there, apparently chooses to leave so the war can drag on. In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', quite a bit of his dialogue references the notion that he enjoys fighting. |
| 994 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: It's strongly implied that the Loptous tome's magic pretty much took over his mind as soon as he was given the spellbook. |
| 995 | * CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:With Seliph ''and'' Julia, also Saias, to a degree.]] |
| 996 | * AChildShallLeadThem: One of the rare ''villainous'' examples. |
| 997 | * DemonicPossession: His situation with Loptous seems to be a mixture of this and MoreThanMindControl. [[spoiler:By the endgame, he's been fully overtaken by Loptous, with his death quote in all caps and a different, bolded font, later repeated with [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Fomortiis]], indicating that ''Loptous'' is speaking and not Julius.]] |
| 998 | * EnfanteTerrible: |
| 999 | ** In the Oosawa manga, holy crap. [[spoiler:He took the Loptous tome, was possessed by it, ''AND'' killed his mother (and almost did his father in too, ''and'' would've killed his sister if his mother hadn't spirited her away) when he was '''five''' years old.]] |
| 1000 | ** [[https://garms-translations.tumblr.com/post/168073844388/my-child-loptyr One short story]] among Genichiro Suzuki's novelizations has Julius engage in playing pranks around his home and butchering small animals as a little boy. |
| 1001 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Even while possessed by Loptous, he still manages to hold genuine love for Ishtar. |
| 1002 | * EvilRedhead: One of '''the''' bad guys, with blazing red hair. |
| 1003 | * FacialMarkings: Has the mark of Loptous on his forehead and shows it proudly. |
| 1004 | * FinalBoss: He's the last opponent you face in ''Genealogy of the Holy War''. |
| 1005 | * HeroicLineage: Major Loptous blood (as a descendant of Saint Maera) from both his parents, minor Fjalar from his father. |
| 1006 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Loptr Church Priests that support him can be potentially be used against him by having Sharlot use the Berserk Staff to have one of the Priests attack him, especially the ones using [[HPToOne Hel]]. |
| 1007 | * InbredAndEvil: He is born of an incestuous relationship and he bears the lineage of Loptous. |
| 1008 | * KickTheDog: In the Oosawa manga, not only is he ''very'' pleased when [[spoiler:he kills Deirdre]], but bloodily murders a servant of Arvis when he objects to Julius's desire to personally "meet" [[spoiler:his "brother" Seliph]]. |
| 1009 | * MoreThanMindControl: There are some moments in ''Genealogy'' that imply Loptous hasn't fully awakened in him, as he seems to mangle whether or not he's the Dark God at times. By the time of the final chapter, however, he seems to have fully embraced his identity as Loptous reborn. |
| 1010 | * NoSell: The Loptous tome will halve the power of anyone who tries to attack him [[spoiler:unless they come packing the Book of Naga]]. |
| 1011 | * OhCrap: Has a very brief moment if you have Julia, [[spoiler:wielding Naga]], face him in the final chapter. |
| 1012 | -->"J-Julia? Why...What are you...aagh! Manfroy, you've made a grave mistake!" |
| 1013 | * OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: It also doubles up as this. Going by the two years [[spoiler:before the Battle of Belhalla]], the seventeen years that follow it, ''and'' the year that it takes his army to get back to Grannvale, Seliph is a grown youth in ''at least'' his late teens/very early twenties by the time of his final showdown with Julius. The Dark Prince's age, on the other hand, is vaguer, but he's definitely younger and probably just in his mid-to-late teens. |
| 1014 | * OurVampiresAreDifferent: His influence/possession by Loptous in Suzuki's novelization makes him crave blood. One short story telling of his transformation into the heir to Gair tells of him consuming the blood of small animals (a preying mantis, a kitten) then moving onto consuming blood from a murdered little girl with aid from Manfroy. |
| 1015 | * PetTheDog: Is somewhat nice, if controlling, to Ishtar. One of his first appearances is pulling a BigDamnHeroes (well, big damn villains) when she's defeated for the first time. |
| 1016 | * PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''. |
| 1017 | -->"Your hope is gone!"\ |
| 1018 | "To me, you're nothing."\ |
| 1019 | "I bring you death."\ |
| 1020 | "Blood will rain." |
| 1021 | * PromotedToPlayable: |
| 1022 | ** Makes his playable debut as a [=SpotPass=] character in ''Awakening''. |
| 1023 | ** In ''Heroes'', he's playable as a Grand Hero Battle unit. |
| 1024 | * PuppetKing: Inverted. [[spoiler:He was first established as Arvis' scapegoat while the emperor runs things from behind but it was later revealed that Julius is actually the one in charge by undermining his father's reign and causing chaos around the continent with the backing of Manfroy and the Loptr Church.]] |
| 1025 | * RaisedAsAHost: His entire reason for existing. His parents are carefully chosen so that they would give birth to a child with Major Loptous blood, which he ends up with. |
| 1026 | * RecurringElement: Takes cues from [[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem Hardin]] for being possessed by an evil source and corrupts the major superpower of the continent that used to be a force of good under their leadership. |
| 1027 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: If, through good luck, CherryTapping, or [[LevelGrinding grinding]], he is defeated in Chapter 10, Julius will unceremoniously leave in a huff. |
| 1028 | --> ''"Play time is over. I'm going home."'' |
| 1029 | * SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:Killed his mother Deirdre and tried to kill his sister Julia after being given the Loptous tome. Deirdre, however, managed to spirit Julia away before dying at his hand.]] |
| 1030 | * ShouldersOfDoom: His art in ''Geneology'' and in ''Heroes'' gives him rather large shoulder pauldrons, and he's a villain. |
| 1031 | * SmugSmiler: All his portraits and official art have him sprouting a rather cocky smirk. |
| 1032 | * SoulJar: [[spoiler:He serves as the vessel of Loptous.]] |
| 1033 | * TeenGenius: Is the DragonInChief to Manfroy's BigBad... while still under 20 years old. |
| 1034 | * TheUnfavorite: Accuses Deirdre of not loving him in the Oosawa manga, [[spoiler:right before he kills her]]. |
| 1035 | * UnholyMatrimony: In a romantic relationship with Ishtar, although he's obviously the more evil of them. |
| 1036 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: |
| 1037 | ** Ishtar being a LoveMartyr for him would suggest that Julius ''was'' quite normal in comparison to how he acted after [[spoiler:Manfroy gave him the Loptous tome]]. One of her main motivations in sticking by his side in the Oosawa manga is based on the nice kid he used to be, with some of their backstory together actually shown. |
| 1038 | ** Julia also expresses the sentiment that Julius wasn't always the villain he became: |
| 1039 | ---> '''Julia:''' ...Just who are you? Everything changed the day Archbishop Manfroy brought that eerie black book in. That day also marks the last I saw of my dear brother... All that remained in his place was this powerful, yet demonic child. You... whoever you are... have deprived me of my mother and my brother, as well! Who are you!? Why must you put me through this agony!? |
| 1040 | * {{Yandere}}: For his girlfriend Ishtar, since he tells her in ''Thracia'' that he ''hates'' how Reinhardt looks at her and threatens to kill him if he appears in front of them again. |
| 1041 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Says this almost word by word ''to his own mom'' before killing her.]] |

| 1049 | ->'''Holy blood:'''[[note]]not a playable character, but it'll be mentioned for story reasons[[/note]] Thrud [Major] |
| 1050 | |
| 1051 | The duke of Friege, Prime Minister of Grannvale, and the father of Bloom, Tailtiu, and Ethnia. He leads a coalition opposing the Prince's authority. |
| 1052 | ---- |
| 1053 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Perhaps one of the bigger ones in the Oosawa manga. [[spoiler:Reptor regretted his rash actions for his own ambitions and then did all he could to keep Tailtiu safe, which culminated in a HeroicSacrifice.]] |
| 1054 | * AmbitionIsEvil: He already had a very high position in the Empire, but wanted more than that. |
| 1055 | -->'''Reptor''' (to [[spoiler:Sigurd]]): "Hmph, you idiot! Politics is all about power! Your father had no power, which is why he died." |
| 1056 | * AncestralWeapon: Mjolnir. |
| 1057 | * ArchnemesisDad: For Tailtiu [[spoiler:and Ethnia]]. In fact, he's one of the few who can scare the living SHIT out of the usually fearless Tailtiu. Averted in the Oosawa manga: instead of being antagonistic, he's still a loving, conflicted father. Tailtiu only ''thought'' that he snuck her to Sigurd's army as a mole to further his agenda, but then was proven wrong. |
| 1058 | * BigBadWannabe: He leads the coalition to overthrow the Prince so he can take over Grannvale and presumably the rest of the continent for himself, but he's really just being played by Arvis. Interestingly, since Arvis himself is a BigBadWannabe being played by Manfroy, this creates a three-part chain of wannabes. |
| 1059 | * ClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:The last enemy you fight in Gen 1.]] |
| 1060 | * TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Given a full 30 magic stat for a class that caps it at 22. He was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally]] going to be a ''Sage'', which has a 30 Magic cap, so either the developers forgot to change it or intentionally left it as is. |
| 1061 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:After you smoke him, Sigurd wastes no time following him into the grave and the plot switches to focus on Seliph.]] |
| 1062 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Downplayed. Reptor actually tried to be a family man that cares for his family and children, but after seeing Tailtiu betray him and being crushed over it, his next course of action is to guard the family prestige instead and inflicts a HonorRelatedAbuse on Tailtiu. |
| 1063 | * EvilChancellor: He's the Prime Minister of Grannvale, and a greedy, treacherous one at that. |
| 1064 | * EvilOldFolks: He's already old enough to have three children and potentially be a grandfather. He's also a prideful, ambitious asshole. |
| 1065 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: In the Oosawa manga, Reptor was actually serious about turning himself in to Azmur, admitting to killing Kurth and Ring and framing Byron and Sigurd for it, and owing up to his crimes, all thanks to Tailtiu calling him out. Unfortunately, the conditions of surrender required him to surrender his Mjolnir to Aida on the premise that it would be passed down to Bloom later... [[spoiler:and that's the time Aida, on the order of Arvis, backstabbed Reptor, thus at a time he would not have the luxury of Mjolnir's blessings]]. |
| 1066 | * HeroicLineage: Of the Thrud bloodline. Like Lombard, he himself isn't nearly as heroic as his ancestor. However, in the Oosawa manga, at the end of his life, [[spoiler:he proved his heroism, telling Azelle to take care of Tailtiu and then showing himself to his pursuers, gladly giving his life for both of them]]. |
| 1067 | * HeroicSacrifice: In the Oosawa manga, [[spoiler:he told Azelle to take care of Tailtiu and then confronted his pursuers so they wouldn't hunt down his daughter. Just shortly before, he prayed for Thrud to just take his life instead of his daughter's as his punishment for letting his ambition fly over his head, and his chance came]]. |
| 1068 | * HighClassGlass: Helps show his position as the EvilChancellor. |
| 1069 | * HonorRelatedAbuse: Reptor started this trend on the House Friege to abuse Tailtiu in the future, by marking her a traitor that shamed the House of Thrud's honor and wanting her to die for it. |
| 1070 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the Oosawa manga, after being confronted by Tailtiu, who accused him of just using her and dropping her on Sigurd's ranks just to further his ambition, Reptor has this reaction, realizing [[AmbitionIsEvil how far he has fallen for the sake of ambition.]] |
| 1071 | * PetTheDog: Subverted. Reptor was visibly crushed when he faced Tailtiu in battle, blaming Claud for 'tricking her', meaning that there could be a chance that he genuinely loved her as a father. But then, he decided that the Friege house name comes first, so he'll kill her without hesitation. This is instead played straight in the Oosawa manga; after all those, he's ''still'' a loving father to Tailtiu and wasn't even thinking to kill her off for the Friege house name. [[spoiler:Too bad Aida decided that she'd roast him right around the reunion.]] |
| 1072 | * PsychoElectro: The Mjolnir tome that Bloom and Ishtar wield? It's originally ''his'' weapon. |
| 1073 | * TakingYouWithMe: It's likely that the player will only initiate combat with him after [[spoiler:Velthomer's fire mages turn on him]]. If a character without special dialogue is the first to confront him, he yells that if he's going to burn, then ''everyone'' will burn with him. |

| 1082 | ---- |
| 1083 | * HeroicLineage: Of the Thrud Bloodline, handing it down to her children Amid and Linda if they are to appear. |

| 1085 | * TheOjou: A straighter example than her sister, given that she's more quiet and appears to be more ladylike, but she still [[spoiler:runs off to join Sigurd's army if Tailtiu is killed]]. |

| 1094 | |
| 1095 | Son of Duke Reptor and the brother of Tailtiu. He was appointed in the occupation of the Manster District. He is married to Hilda and the father of Ishtore and Ishtar. |
| 1096 | ---- |
| 1097 | * AccompliceByInaction: He didn't kill Tailtiu, he just stood by and allowed his wife to abuse her until she died. He doesn't like the child hunts, he just doesn't lift a finger to stop them. If Tine faces him in Chapter 8, she holds him just as responsible for her mother's death. |
| 1098 | * AncestralWeapon: He's the direct inheritor of Mjolnir. He passes it further down the line to Ishtar at the start of Chapter 8. |
| 1099 | * AntiVillain: Very hard to see, as he rules like a tyrant and makes people suffer, but [[EvenEvilHasStandards he possesses some standards, especially about Child Hunts,]] and it is hinted that he's quite kind to Teeny, even if he looked like a controlling stepfather. Most likely, he's only doing all those in order to preserve the Friege House's reputation rather than outright malice/evil. In addition, compared to Danann, Bloom didn't come off as TheCaligula; he's tyrannical, but he's not indulging in selfish pleasures, just concentrating on keeping order. |
| 1100 | * EntitledBastard: He kidnaps Tailtiu and Tine beacause it's his "right" as head of the household. He scolds Tine for her reluctance to fight because of the "kindness" he showed afer Tailtiu's death (a death which he did nothing to prevent). When the battle turns against him, he demands aid from Travant--the man who did the work of opening Manster for conquest--and doesn't understand why Travant ignores him. And rather than try and protect his surviving child and heir, he instead begs for her to go out and save him from the rebels... yet only begrudgingly hands over Mjönir, the best weapon for her to do it with. To the moment he dies, he never stops viewing the world as someting that's meant to serve him. |
| 1101 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Doesn't like the [[spoiler:child hunts]], even though he doesn't protest about them. |
| 1102 | * EvilUncle: He's both the uncle of Arthur/Amid and Tine/Linda. Arthur/Amid despises him for taking his mother and sister back to Friege, while Tine/Linda rebels against him for letting her mother be tortured by his wife until the day she died. |
| 1103 | * TheGhost: In ''Thracia 776'', Bloom only shows up in the opening narration of chapters and is offhandedly mentioned to be in charge of the Friege army. |
| 1104 | * GreaterScopeVillain: As the leader of the Friege occupation of Manster, he’s naturally this in ''Thracia 776'' alongside everyone above him in the chain of power. |
| 1105 | * HeroicLineage: Of the Thrud bloodline, but like his father before him, a now villainous example. |
| 1106 | * HonorRelatedAbuse: Just like his father, Bloom believed that Tailtiu shamed the family's house by turning against Reptor, so to maintain that image to the Empire supporters, he didn't intervene on Hilda's abuses to her. |
| 1107 | * PetTheDog: Does care for Tine (or Linda), though he is controlling towards her. Through WhatCouldHaveBeen, he would have moments more based on Kaga's notes: [[spoiler:While he left Tailtiu to die, he would still give her a proper burial by putting her in an ice coffin and sent the coffin to Silesse, which was later used by Claud to resurrect her at the cost of his life and the Valkyrie Staff. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Alas indeed]].]] |
| 1108 | * PsychoElectro: The Mjolnir in Chapter 7; switched to Bolting and Thoron in Chapter 8. |
| 1109 | * PuppetKing: See Danann, but for Manster. |
| 1110 | * TheUnfought: In ''Thracia 776'', as Leif focuses his forces on Manster while Seliph takes care of him in Conote. |
| 1111 | * UnholyMatrimony: Subverted. Both he and Hilda are horrible people, but Bloom's actual feelings for Hilda were not shown, thus remaining ambiguous. He also didn't share her joy for Child Hunts. |

| 1122 | |
| 1123 | The wife of Duke Bloom and the mother of Ishtore and Ishtar and sister-in-law to Tailtiu and Ethnia. She was in charge of the occupation force in the Miletos District. |
| 1124 | ---- |
| 1125 | * AbusiveParents: Where do we even ''begin'' on this? Not only she hideously abuse Tine/Linda, her nieces, for lulz, she also mentally abuses Ishtar to just marry Julius just so she gets the peerage of being directly linked to the Imperial family, ignoring Ishtar's true feelings for Julius. |
| 1126 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: Her official game portrait had her face possessing wrinkles, but when it comes to official arts, TCG portrayals or ''Heroes'', she actually looks quite decent for an old woman that hasn't reached grandma status, and the wrinkles are gone. |
| 1127 | * AdaptedOut: She's not present in the Mitsuki Oosawa manga, which could be saying something, as the manga was well known to make formerly unsympathetic characters look more sympathetic, meaning that [[BeyondRedemption even Oosawa thinks that Hilda is just unsalvagable]]. |
| 1128 | * BastardBastard: When you consider where the Fjalar blood within her comes from, one can assume that she's born from one of Victor's womanizing antics. Either you can wonder if Victor just happened to impregnate a cruel woman and/or Hilda got most of her bad stuffs from Victor and took it far worse with actions that not even Victor would dream of doing. |
| 1129 | * DarkActionGirl: More exactly, a very powerful LadyOfBlackMagic. |
| 1130 | * DomesticAbuse: Inflicts this to [[spoiler:Tailtiu/Ethnia to the point it killed them]], then continues to do that to Tine/Linda. Ishtar only got the mental abuse version. |
| 1131 | * DrowningMySorrows: In her level 40 quote in ''Heroes'' she reveals that she secretly likes to drink to forget the pain and sorrow of losing Bloom, Reptor as well as the fact that the House Friege that she's proud of has been reduced to very few members thanks to Seliph. |
| 1132 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: ''Heroes'' reveal that her anger against the Liberation Army for slaughtering her family was genuine, she does hold love and respect for Bloom and Reptor and House Friege. Of course, once the two died, she becomes even more monstrous than she already was. |
| 1133 | * EvilAunt: She's the aunt of Arthur/Amid and Tine/Linda, and she's abusive towards the latter. . |
| 1134 | * EvilGloating: Likes to rub in the faces of Arthur/Amid and Tine/Linda that she drove their mothers to death and takes great pleasure in that act and trying to repeat that to them. |
| 1135 | * EvilMatriarch: An exceptionally terrifying sort, even by the standards of this trope. |
| 1136 | * FreudianExcuseDenial: In her ''Heroes'' Level 40 confession, she tells the Summoner to leave after seeing her drinking to forget her pain of losing loved ones, implying that [[DontYouDarePityMe she'd rather not get pitied for that sorrow of hers]], she has embraced the image of 'sadistic devil in human skin' wholly despite her vulnerability and would rather the world see her that way too. |
| 1137 | * ForTheEvulz: There's ''virtually no reason'' why Hilda is such a power-hungry evil bitch that likes the suffering of others. Hell, even Manfroy and his Loptr Church kinsmen can [[FreudianExcuse make the claim]] that their years of persecution eventually drove them into CardCarryingVillain status (though they have no regrets), Hilda has no such excuse. Even the idea that her abuse towards Tailtiu was revenge for her "shaming" her family by supporting Sigurd's "coup" is shot down, as she outright admits to Tine that she did it solely for her amusement. Even with the extra layer given from ''Heroes'', this trope is still part of her characterization that stays the same. |
| 1138 | -->''"Tailtiu was a waste of space. I made her life miserable and I would do it again."'' |
| 1139 | * GoldDigger: Her reasons for being content with Julius' courting of Ishtar amount to this. Already being married to the Duke of Friege drives this point even further. Ishtar herself isn't too thrilled, as she [[GoldBurier actually loves Julius and not his status.]] |
| 1140 | * GlassCannon: Very strong LadyOfBlackMagic -- with a ''very'' heavy fire tome. Get her a considerably powerful physical attacker (or an ''angry'' Tine) and she'll just take a few hits to pop off. |
| 1141 | * HateSink: Probably the single most despicable character '''in the entire series''', let alone woman. From what she did to both her sister-in-law and her daughter, and even how she treats ''her own'', she was made to be so utterly reprehensible and lacks any sort of FreudianExcuse (for reference, even Manfroy has one). Hilda was ''really'' made to show the lowest that the Empire can do even with minimum Loptous interference. Additionally, Hilda is an intentional attempt to avert the trope FemalesAreMoreInnocent, showing that women can be just as despicable beings as men. |
| 1142 | * HeroicLineage: A minor degree of the Fjalar bloodline. However, 'heroic' would be the last thing you would refer to Hilda as. |
| 1143 | * HonorRelatedAbuse: Hilda thrives in using this trope as a front to torture Tailtiu and Tine, since she was on the Empire's side and Reptor was her father in-law, but beneath that, [[ForTheEvulz she just personally enjoys torturing them for no apparent reason.]] |
| 1144 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She's pissed that you killed her husband and son, Bloom and Ishtore, and wanted to exact revenge. But she gloats proudly about [[spoiler:driving Tailtiu/Ethnia to death and is said to be very delighted when she drove the parents of many children to death]]. |
| 1145 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Subtly: When Hilda talks about her grudge against Seliph and his army for killing Bloom and Ishtore, she refers to them as "[her] husband and son". That specific choice of words wouldn't seem strange if she were talking to anyone other than Ishtar, her daughter. You know, Bloom's daughter and Ishtore's sister? Also, as said about her being a {{Hypocrite}}, kill HER husband and son? That's a horrible crime and she wants revenge. When she herself kills someone else's family member (or just drove them to death)? ''What a joy.'' |
| 1146 | * KickTheDog: It's mentioned in the intro of Chapter 10 that she drove numerous citizens to "hideously cruel" deaths. Meaning [[spoiler:Tailtiu/Ethnia]] wasn't the only person she tortured to death. In addition, she heartily supports the [[spoiler:Child Hunts]]. When some escape, she orders them all killed. (We’ll say this again — when ''some'' children escape, she orders for '''all''' of them to be killed.) |
| 1147 | * NoblewomansLaugh: She will usually let one out whenever either Arthur/Amid or Tine/Linda confront her, before she starts her EvilGloating. Just so you get REALLY angered at her quickly. |
| 1148 | * PlayingWithFire: Her tome, Bolganone, and her unique weapon in ''Heroes,'' Fiery Bolganone. |
| 1149 | * PromotedToPlayable: She's recruitable in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''. Considering that many other HateSink characters throughout the franchise was made playable, it's of no surprise that Hilda, one of the biggest {{Hate Sink}}s of the franchise, would end up getting the trope in the end. |
| 1150 | * PuppetKing: See Danann, but for Miletos. |
| 1151 | * PreAssKickingOneLiner: In ''Heroes'': |
| 1152 | -->"Hellfire!"\ |
| 1153 | "Is it to be revenge?"\ |
| 1154 | "My hand will end you."\ |
| 1155 | "I'll kill you all!" |
| 1156 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: The queen of Chronos might not be a good monarch but is a powerful mage sure enough. |
| 1157 | * RecurringElement: Starting from Hilda, you can usually find a recurring female antagonist that is especially despicable and unsympathetic; usually on the mature age, contrasting with her sympathetic daughter. As the first progenitor of that, Hilda lacked the more humanizing elements of Dark Ladies about being brainwashed into loyalty. |
| 1158 | * SeeYouInHell: Her response to Arthur in the final chapter. |
| 1159 | * SmugSnake: ''So'' very full of herself, as she also seemed a little too controlling on Ishtar, her own daughter, who's far more powerful than her because of her Major Thrud Holy Blood and only follows her around because she understands familial love and piety. And then there's her EvilGloating (which is usually preceded with a NoblewomansLaugh), which many players find ''very'' satisfying to wipe off from her face using either Tine or Arthur. |
| 1160 | * UnholyMatrimony: With Bloom, it's subverted, see his entry for more details. She wants Ishtar to get on the trope by marrying Julius, though Ishtar truly loves the Prince and shows hesitation about the deal. ''Heroes'' reveal that it may be at least one-sided for Hilda, she does love her husband and her anger against the Liberation Army for killing him was not fake at all. |
| 1161 | * UniqueEnemy: Gets her own class and skillset to herself for unknown reasons. |
| 1162 | * VillainousBreakdown: ''Heroes'' makes clear that she doesn't take the death of her father, Bloom and Ishtore well... However it's unknown if she's talking about her father-in-law Reptor or her birth father (who is possibly Victor). |
| 1163 | -->I will avenge my father, my husband and my son. '''I will see their killers BURN!''' |
| 1164 | * YouMonster: Aside from her brutal torture of [[spoiler:Tailtiu & Tine or Ethnia & Linda]], when you liberate one of the villages in the map she's in, this exchange pops up... |
| 1165 | -->That Queen Hilda of Chronos is wicked to the core. [[spoiler:She began abducting kids after allying with this dark bishop. She kills the mothers, too, without a blink of an eye!]] That woman's not even human. I'd say she's more like a devil! |

| 1176 | |
| 1177 | Daughter of Bloom and the "Goddess of Thunder." Inheritor of the Mjolnir, she is in love with the Prince of Grannvale, Julius. |
| 1178 | ---- |
| 1179 | * AncestralWeapon: Mjolnir. |
| 1180 | * AntiVillain: ''Thracia 776'' has her state that neither she nor Ishtore approve of [[spoiler:the child hunts, to the point that in the final chapter she has the children Arvis rescued hidden away, with it being made very clear that anyone who laid a hand on them would answer to her personally]]. She (and Ishtore) were also kind to Tine, unlike their parents. |
| 1181 | * ApologeticAttacker: Even if you're going to die with her next thunder strike, she will still apologize for it. The exception is when she's on the first blood race with Julius in Chapter 10. |
| 1182 | * BreakOutVillain: Seems to be this due to being a complex TragicVillain combined with her unusually heroic appearance: Ishtar is playable in ''Fire Emblem Heroes'' under '''four''' different forms, including a Resplendant alt '''and''' an Ascendant alt which was released only few months later. She's also in ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' as a [[DownloadableContent downloadable playable character]]. |
| 1183 | * BrokenBird: She's torn between her love for Julius and her family, and her own sense of what's right and wrong. In official art, she often appears uncertain and sorrowful. She's also usually posed with one arm across her body, like she's closing herself off, or hugging herself. |
| 1184 | * CoolBigSis: To Tine/Linda. |
| 1185 | * DarkMistress: She's not really evil, but her love for Julius and loyalty to her family makes her a foe. |
| 1186 | * DisappointedInYou: Says this to Tine/Linda when facing her in Chapter 8. |
| 1187 | * GlassCannon: Ishtar hits quite hard with the Mjolnir tome and the tomes' bonuses makes her hard to hit and her attacks harder to dodge but her defense is comparatively low that the likes of Seliph with Tyrfing, Ares with Mystletainn or Fabail with Yewfelle can kill her in one or two hits if they can hit her.. |
| 1188 | * GoldDigger: What Hilda wants for her, in regards to Julius. Since she ''does'' like Julius [[GoldBurier for more than his power]], she's not very convinced. |
| 1189 | -->'''Hilda:''' Ishtar, you listen up! We Frieges are of noble rank within Grannvale. And I'm originally from Velthomer, just as the Imperial family is. Who could possibly make a more worthy partner for His Highness than yourself!? |
| 1190 | -->'''Ishtar''': ...Yes, Mother... |
| 1191 | * HeroicLineage: Major Thrud blood from her father. Although she is a descendant of Fjalar through her mother’s side, she does not possess minor Fjalar blood. Unlike her parents, she's got more heroic and honorable traits, but remains loyal to both of them and her family, unlike her aunt. |
| 1192 | * IveComeTooFar: She has her own sense of right and wrong, but the combination of filial piety, love for Julius and how she believes she's been too invested with the Empire's banner made her reject any form of redemption, thinking that she's too deep down in the path she walked and there's no turning back at that point. |
| 1193 | * LadyOfBlackMagic: She uses the Mjolnir with deadly power and accuracy. |
| 1194 | * LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Let's recap: Bloom is a tyrannical jerk, Hilda is pretty much a devil in human skin. So how in the hell did Ishtar turn out to be an honorable girl? Although she does gleefully partipate in Julius' "game" of killing the first Cruaader in Miletos but then your army has pretty much killed her brother and father anyway. |
| 1195 | * LoveMartyr: To Julius. She doesn't approve of everything he does, but sticks with him out of love. |
| 1196 | * MeaningfulName: She's named after the Babylonian/Assyrian goddess of love, fertility, and war. Fitting for a character defined by her love for her boyfriend and family, and her [[RedBaron prowess on the battlefield]]. Unlike her namesake, [[spoiler:Ishtar's love doesn't lead Julius to his death, but her to hers.]] |
| 1197 | * MoralityPet: Julius is nicer to her than anyone else, if possessive. |
| 1198 | * MyGreatestFailure: In ''Heroes'', many of her lines make clear she regrets having chosen to side with Julius and the Empire. In her 5★ level 40 convo, she even ask the Summoner/Kiran to avoid committing to a side they'll come to regret. |
| 1199 | * NobleTopEnforcer: A very sympathetic, decent, and kind-hearted lady whose loyalty happens to lie with the enemies, and in love with the devil-possessed BigBad. She's one of the Camus Archetype characters in the Second Generation. |
| 1200 | * PreMortemOneLiner: In ''Heroes''. |
| 1201 | -->"I am sorry."\ |
| 1202 | "There's nothing more to be said."\ |
| 1203 | "You will die here."\ |
| 1204 | "Mjölnir's wrath!" |
| 1205 | * PromotedToPlayable: |
| 1206 | ** Makes her playable debut as a [=SpotPass=] character in ''Awakening''. |
| 1207 | ** In ''Heroes'', she's playable as a 5 star unit. |
| 1208 | * PunchClockVillain: She fights the heroes because of her love for her family and her boyfriend. |
| 1209 | * RecurringElement: Like Eldigan and Arion, Ishtar is supposed to be a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute of Camus, a sympathetic enforcer of the enemy team. But because of that and being female, she started a trend that even female enemy generals can be sympathetic like her. Even moreso if there's a more confrontative and unsympathetic Dark Lady, in her case her mother Hilda, to contrast her. |
| 1210 | * RedBaron: "Goddess of Thunder". |
| 1211 | * ResurrectedForAJob: {{Implied}}. [[spoiler:In her 5★ level 40 conversation in ''Heroes'', she implies that she was called into Askr shortly after her demise in her home game. Her Ascended variant outright confirms this as well.]] |
| 1212 | * ShockAndAwe: Being born in the Thrud lineage, she's a deadly thunder mage, even more so since she has Major Blood, thus has access to Mjolnir. |
| 1213 | * ShouldersOfDoom: If her shoulder pads in her original artwork weren't big enough for you, her artwork in ''Heroes'' makes them larger than her head. |
| 1214 | * SuicideByCop: Implied. [[spoiler:She's sends herself and the Royal Guard of Belhalla on an offensive charge against the Crusaders rather than staying put and provide a difficult defense. Even Julius himself questions Ishtar's decision and suspects her of doing this trope but Ishtar convinces him otherwise.]] |
| 1215 | * UnholyMatrimony: With Julius. AntiVillain she may be, but Ishtar is still perfectly willing to ride onto the battlefield with him to hunt your army for sport. |
| 1216 | * VillainsOutShopping: |
| 1217 | ** She is sometimes depicted with Julius playing board games in older promotional art. |
| 1218 | ** In ''Fire Emblem Heroes'', Ishtar and Reinhardt are among the characters taking part to the dance festival. Guess the [[AntiVillain anti villains]] also need a break. |
| 1219 | * YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:And brother and mother, too. She tries doing this to Seliph and the Liberation Army, but obviously fails because she was on the wrong side anyway.]] |

| 1229 | ---- |
| 1230 | * AntiVillain: Ishtar notes in ''Thracia 776'' that he's also strongly opposed to the child hunts, but he is nevertheless an enemy who needs to be fought. |
| 1231 | ** He also cares for his cousin Tine/Linda and her mother, [[spoiler:despite Hilda's abuse]]. |
| 1232 | ** He's also genuine in loving Liza, and was utterly crushed if she's killed before him, swearing revenge. |
| 1233 | ** When Seliph beats him, he starts wondering if he's truly a bad guy, because he looked like someone who'd be decent off-battle. |

| 1235 | * GameplayAndStorySegregation: Like Ishtar. |

| 1238 | * LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Same deal with Ishtar, though we only get little snippets on how decent Ishtore is. |
| 1239 | * MagicKnight: He's one of the few male War Mages in the game. |
| 1240 | * PunchClockVillain: He's really not that bad a guy, he just happens to be on the enemy side. |
| 1241 | * RecurringElement: Ishtore, along with his lover Liza, codified the trend of one-shot, unrecruitable enemies, that could be sympathetic and any characterization he could get are mostly posthumous. |
| 1242 | * ShockAndAwe: He's part of House Friege and has the signature electricity spells expected of a descendant of Thrud, such as Bolting and Thoron. Unfortunately for him, he didn't inherit major Thrud blood like his sister, so he can't use Mjolnir. |
| 1243 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: He's a minor boss who dies fairly early into the second generation, but it has a ripple effect on the rest of the Friege nobility. In addition, he's also the first boss that caused Seliph to question whether the Empire was really completely filled with bastards, which would test his mettle as a leader a few chapters later. |

Ironically, she expected that the rain would enhance her lighting magic, unaware that the Isaachian rebels have a lighting mage of their own... |

| 1306 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He's blatantly against the Child Hunts – even remarking to his superior that they're a waste of time – but really only goes along with it because of the empire's influence. When he's deployed to chase them, he specifically orders his squad to go "at a leisurely pace"; because of this, he's one of the few enemies in the series whose AI is programmed specifically not to use their full movement range. |

| 1320 | * HeroicLineage: They all possess minor Forseti blood. Somewhat heroic considering they work for Ishtar, who is not in approval of what the Empire is doing morally wrong, but not so heroic when they're ''actually fighting the army whose tactician is the source of their power and blood.'' |
| 1321 | * LightningBruiser: The trio have ridiculously high speed stat and are equipped with Leg Rings that boosts their already vast movement stat. They also have a high defensive stat and the Nihil skill which nullifies all criticals including their class' weakness to bows, an impressive array of offensive skills and are armed with [[LifeDrain Lands Swords]] (and because they are enemies, it has ''infinite'' uses instead of the paltry 10 uses that your own Lands Sword has) that make them a very formidable foe that even Seliph and Ares can't handle alone. |

| 1335 | ---- |
| 1336 | * AbusiveParents: He considers his elder son Danann useless and is reluctantly willing to fight Lex if he is engaged in combat. |
| 1337 | * AmbitionIsEvil: Like Reptor, he wanted power, which was being undermined by Kurth. He was also first described as avaricious. |
| 1338 | * AncestralWeapon: The Helswath, a holy axe which has been passed down his family line for generations. |
| 1339 | * ArchnemesisDad: For Lex, who will express regret that it's come to this. |
| 1340 | * BeardOfEvil: He has quite the impressive one. |
| 1341 | * BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: A greedy lord who wields a holy axe, Helswath. |
| 1342 | * DrivenByEnvy: Why he does things: He's jealous that House Dozel got shafted in favor of House Chalpy. The Mitsuki Oosawa manga expands this further: he used to be a normal, loving dad to Lex, but the moment Lex inquired about his jealousy, Lombard started to act cold toward him, and stayed that way until the end. Likewise, it expands further on his jealousy: Lombard thought that all the Crusaders were treated as equals, thinking it wasn't fair that their descendants suddenly had favorites. Deconstructed in the game, as this caused Lewyn to mark Lombard as the start of the disgrace of House Dozel, as his predecessors probably did not mind such favoritism, so his envy and desire for equality marked the start of the disgrace of his otherwise perfectly fine house. |
| 1343 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 1344 | ** Expresses disgust at Andrey's killing of his own father, since Lombard actually respected Ring. |
| 1345 | ** He's horrified when he finds out Lex is fighting him and asks his son to back down. |
| 1346 | * EvilOldFolks: He's a bitter old man with very ambitious plans to gain as much power as possible. |
| 1347 | * HeroicLineage: Of the Nál bloodline, hence why he can wield Helswath. Not so heroic in his case, though. |
| 1348 | * KinSlayingIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Lombard appears to hold this view as he's upset by Andrey's murder of his father and subsequent lack of remorse. Similarly he's reluctant to fight Lex and calls out his son for engaging him in combat. |
| 1349 | * SmugSnake: Despite his fierce grimace, he's every bit as smug and zealous as his cohorts. |
| 1350 | * VillainHasAPoint: While Lombard is villainous, there is no mistaking that the House of Granvalle has been playing favorites even before he took those avaricious actions, though there were no indications of how the House Dozel members before him acted, whether they were also bad like him or actually good people but got shafted for no apparent reason. He might be DrivenByEnvy, but he didn't do it without grounds and it also highlighted one of the big problems within Granvalle that Seliph has got to fix. |
| 1351 | * VillainRespect: While he'll do anything to one-up Byron and House Chalpy, he clearly views Lord Ring of House Yngvi favorably, despite the house being overfavored by Kurth just like House Chalpy, enough that Lombard wished him a peaceful afterlife after his brutal death by his own son. |

| 1361 | ---- |
| 1362 | * AdaptationalBadass: The Oosawa manga ''actually'' gave him Helswath to fight against the rebel army. |
| 1363 | * ArchnemesisDad: To his sons, Iuchar or Iucharba, depending on who is recruited. They don't hate him, but see his removal as neccesary. |
| 1364 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: In the Oosawa manga, this is the actual reason why he hated Lex so much and ultimately betrayed him. Since Lombard [[ParentalFavoritism tended to favor Lex]] when the two brothers were young (at least until little!Lex started questioning him), Danan felt constantly inferior and he never got over it, projecting his self-hate on Lex and Ayra, and later on Scáthach and Larcei. |
| 1365 | * AvengingTheVillain: He wants Seliph dead, because Sigurd killed his father Lombard. |
| 1366 | * BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: The brutal king of Isaach who happens to be an axe wielder. |
| 1367 | * TheCaligula: When Arvis conquered the entire continent for Grannvale, the countries were divvied up between the Grannvalian nobles and Danann got Isaach, which it's mentioned he's running straight into the ground by the time the second generation starts. |
| 1368 | * CombatPragmatist: In the Oosawa manga, since Danann can barely keep up with [[LightningBruiser Scáthach]], [[ISurrenderSuckers he begs for mercy]], and as soon as his nephew lowers his guard, he uses Helswath to seriously hurt him. [[spoiler:Ultimately fails, since Scáthach pretty much brings himself back when Larcei comes to help, [[BrotherSisterTeam and they both defeat him]].]] |
| 1369 | * EvilUncle: In the Oosawa manga, [[spoiler:he's Larcei and Scáthach's uncle who is a tyrant and murderer of their parents, with their father being [[KinslayingIsASpecialKindOfEvil his brother]].]] In-game, he can be the uncle of any of the children whose father is Lex, though he doesn't make a comment on it. |
| 1370 | * ExtremeDoormat: According to Iucharba, he lets the Loptyrian cult walk all over him. |
| 1371 | * GeneralFailure: Pre-TimeSkip, Lombard himself berates Dannan for being unable to defeat a rebellion in Isaach despite commanding most of House Dozel's forces including the [[EliteMooks Grauen Ritter]]. Post-TimeSkip, he and his forces are quickly defeated by Seliph and his resistance forces, in contrast to Blume commanding significant Friege forces in the Munster District, nearly defeated Leif's resistance force and lasts for 2 chapters. |
| 1372 | * HeroicLineage: Of the Nál bloodline, but one of the few cases who doesn't get to use his family's AncestralWeapon (Helswath, in his case). However, this is because his eldest son, Brian, has it in his possession, as seen in the final chapter. |
| 1373 | * IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Disturbingly, the Oosawa manga hints that he intends to do this, not to any of the girls in Seliph's army, but to [[DudeLooksLikeALady Seliph himself]]. |
| 1374 | * KickTheDog: |
| 1375 | ** If one can count making the entire country suffer a massive dog kicking. |
| 1376 | ** The Oosawa manga adds another one: Lex and Ayra returned after the horrific Battle of Belhalla. Danann at first acted like a cool big bro and welcomed him until Lex handed down Helswath... and then he betrayed both of them, resulting in Lex's surefire death and Ayra was implied to die afterwards. |
| 1377 | * MightyGlacier: In the Oosawa manga, he tries to fight against Scáthach on his own... but quickly finds out that Helswath is ''not'' the easiest axe to wield. |
| 1378 | * PuppetKing: Danann isn't a puppet himself, but he does run Arvis's puppet regime in Isaach after deposing the rightful royal family. |
| 1379 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: In the Nea Fuyuki version, Seliph manages to recruit both Iuchar and Iucharba, which gives them enough troops to surround his castle and force him to surrender. |
| 1380 | * StarterVillain: He is the first major enemy that Seliph must defeat in order for his revolution to succeed. |
| 1381 | * SuckSessor: Even Lombard thinks he's useless, as he's unable to send reinforcements for his father in his fateful battle with Sigurd due to being unable to quell a rebellion in Isaach even with his house's elite knight squadron under his command. Even moreso, in-game he doesn't even bring Helswath with him despite having major Nál blood, leaving it to Brian... which would become his downfall. |
| 1382 | * TinTyrant: An armor-clad ruler who treats his conquered subjects like dirt. |
| 1383 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: Received the end of it by Seliph for making the people suffer. |
| 1384 | -->'''Seliph''': "King Danann... Under your rule, many people have suffered and died. Now you must face the consequences." |
| 1385 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: He thinks that Oifey and Shannan are the most concerning of the Liberation Army. Seliph and his friends proved him otherwise. |
| 1386 | * WarmUpBoss: He is your first major boss in Generation 2, and since he is an axe user while most of your units use swords or ranged weapons (which he lacks on the latter), he is easy to kill. |
| 1387 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Unike Bloom or even his father, Langobalt, Danan is killed basically after his first appearance in the game. |
| 1388 | * YouKilledMyFather: |
| 1389 | ** Invoked when fighting Seliph, whose father killed his father. |
| 1390 | ** In the Oosawa manga, Lex and Ayra's kids Scáthach and Larcei invoke this on ''him'' instead. |

| 1393 | [[folder:Brian]] |
| 1394 | !!Prince Brian of Dozel ''(Burian)'' |
| 1395 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/burian.png]] |
| 1396 | ->'''Class:''' Master Knight |
| 1397 | ->'''Holy blood:'''[[note]]not a playable character, but it'll be mentioned for story reasons[[/note]] Nál [Major] |
| 1398 | |
| 1399 | The son of Duke Danann and the inheritor of the Helswath. He rules over Castle Dozel while the rest of his family are stationed in the occupation of Isaach. |
| 1400 | ---- |
| 1401 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: Brian's [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Burian_Face_Sprite.gif in-game portrait is aged and hideous]], but [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Burian.jpg his card-game portrait]] has him looking his age. |
| 1402 | * AncestralWeapon: Helswath. |
| 1403 | %%zce* AntiVillain: Implied to be such, as seen in MyCountryRightOrWrong. |
| 1404 | * AvengingTheVillain: Wants to avenge his family members slain in the feud between Chalpy and Dozel. |
| 1405 | * BigOlEyebrows: His in-game portrait resembles Chagall with thick eyebrows. |
| 1406 | * CainAndAbel: His desire to uphold his family honor puts him in conflict with Iuchar or Iucharba. |
| 1407 | * HeroicLineage: Of the Nál bloodline, hence his inheritance of Helswath. |
| 1408 | * MightyGlacier: He has 47 defense and 27 resistance as a result of the bonuses from Helswath, but the weight reduces his impressive 26 speed into a pitiful 6 speed. |
| 1409 | * MyCountryRightOrWrong: Wonders if he was fighting for the right side before dying. |
| 1410 | -->'''Brian''': The Helswath was defeated so easily!? Was I on the right side...? |
| 1411 | * RecurringElement: He is the TropeMaker of last minute powerful generals that are normally affable but is fanatically loyal to the enemy country to the point of unrecruitability and wields a mighty axe and decked in armor (Helswath gave him great defenses) that would later be perfected by [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Murdock]] two games later; Brian [[WeHardlyKnewYe did not receive enough characterization back in the days]] to name the archetype. |
| 1412 | * SkippableBoss: Since he doesn't guard Dozel and will charge towards Chalphy, you can seize Dozel and he will vanish with the rest of the Dozelian units. |
| 1413 | * SuperToughness: The most durable enemy in the game thanks to Helswath defensive boosts, [[SNKBoss Julius]] notwithstanding. |
| 1414 | * WalkingArmory: Like all Master Knights, he is theoretically capable of wielding almost any non-holy weapon in the game, although in practice he only carries the Helswath. |
| 1415 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: He's killed not long after his introduction, unless the player plans things beforehand ''very'' well.[[note]]If Shannan, Iuchar, or Iucharba is near Chalphy Castle, they can be used as a 'bait' to distract Brian while the main army focuses on conquering Dozel Castle from Edda. Brian's ''entire army'' will vanish the moment Dozel is conquered, allowing the player to bypass him completely.[[/note]] |
| 1416 | * YouKilledMyFather: Uses this line: |
| 1417 | -->'''Brian''': You're the person that killed my father... It's time to end this grudge that has plagued the House of Dozel for 3 generations! |
| 1418 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: His in-game portrait looks like an old man, when in fact he's not likely to be past his late 20's/very early 30's. |

| 1436 | * KickTheDog: By the time Seliph and the Liberation Army reclaim Ganeishire, the town is already trashed, implying he killed the inhabitants. |

| 1452 | Brian's captain who leads the charge at Edda. |

| 1454 | * SkippableBoss: Since he doesn't guard Dozel and will charge towards Edda, you can seize Dozel and he will vanish with the rest of the Dozelian units. |

| 1462 | |
| 1463 | A mercenary hired by Rodan to retake Chalphy from Seliph. |
| 1464 | ---- |
| 1465 | * NothingPersonal: He's more or less only in the battle for the bounty on the Liberation Army's heads. |
| 1466 | * PaletteSwap: Reused Voltz's portrait. |
| 1467 | * PunchClockVillain: Has no real loyalty to the Grannvale empire. |

| 1475 | ---- |
| 1476 | * BloodKnight: Seems to be really concerned about the "worthiness" of the people he fights. |
| 1477 | * PaletteSwap: Of Jacoban and Javarro. |
| 1478 | * PunchClockVillain: He's a mercenary who, similar to his companion Robert, is in it for the money rather than actual loyalty to Grannvale. |
| 1479 | * ShockAndAwe: Like Jacoban, he wields a magic-based Levin Sword. |

| 1487 | ---- |
| 1488 | * PaletteSwap: Reused Filat's portrait. |
| 1489 | * SkippableBoss: He and his troops do not move even if a unit approches Edda castle, and his army doesn't completely surround the entrance to Edda. This means that it's possible to seize Edda without having to fight him. |
| 1490 | * StatusEffects: He and some of his troops are armed with Sleep Staffs that will instantly put a stop any of your units that lack enough resistance to nullify it. Add to the fact many of the mages are armed with Bolting and Meteor tomes and protected by Boyce and his mercenaries and they form the infamous "Wall of Edda" that takes calculated strategies to break through. |

| 1497 | |
| 1498 | A former merchant who became a leader of Darna under Bloom's rule. |
| 1499 | ---- |
| 1500 | * AttemptedRape: [[spoiler:He throws Lene/Laylea to the dungeon when she refuses his advances. It's strongly implied that he succeeded at it or something similar, as Javarro seems pleased when he tells Ares that [[ScarpiaUltimatum Lene/Laylea is at his mercy]] and Ares, until then very cool and badass, [[NotSoStoic is openly]] ''[[NotSoStoic terrified]]'' for the poor girl.]] |
| 1501 | * DirtyOldMan: ''Poor'' [[spoiler:Lene/Laylea.]] |
| 1502 | --> [[spoiler:'''Lene/Laylea''']]: Look at you acting so tough now that [[spoiler:Ares]] isn't around! You sick old man! |
| 1503 | * FatBastard: Unlike his lookalike Clement, Bramsel plays this trope rather straight. Creepy tendencies aside, he's also a puppet ruler who is easily manipulated by Grannvale. |
| 1504 | * PaletteSwap: Of Clement. Unique in that all other users of that portrait are magic users, while Bramsel is a General. |
| 1505 | * ProperlyParanoid: Despite being assured by Javarro of Ares' loyalty to him, he is armed with a [[AntiCavalry Horseslayer]] spear that makes it a death sentence to have Ares attack him unless he is properly weakened. He is appriopriately smug to Ares as a result. |

| 1513 | ---- |
| 1514 | * AdaptedOut: In the Nea Fuyuki manga. Though Ares's backstory of living as a mercenary is still the same, the exact circumstances are different, so he doesn't appear. |
| 1515 | * BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:To Ares, after finding out about what happened to Lene/Laylea and how he never said anything about it. Telling Ares to forget about her made him very furious, and he promptly betrayed his former boss.]] |
| 1516 | %%* TheDragon: To Bramsel. |
| 1517 | * ParentalSubstitute: To [[spoiler:Ares]], having raised him after his mom [[spoiler:Grahnye]] perished. |
| 1518 | * PaletteSwap: Of Jacoban. |
| 1519 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: After deploying from Dahna, Javarro gives Ares a lecture about how it's okay to fool around with women but it's best to abandon them when their lives fall apart, and laughs at the thought of Bramsel [[spoiler:assaulting Lene]]. |

| 1531 | * DevelopersForesight: A villager warns you of his upcoming arrival. If you already dealt with him before arriving in the village, he'll congratulate you instead. |
| 1532 | * HeroicLineage: He has Minor Forseti blood. While it is used to give him Tornado since Mage Knight are locked at B rank in all magic without holy blood, a villager mentions him hunting a Silessian knight that killed his father, implying that he was one of Lewyn's uncle's son (which one is not explicit). |
| 1533 | * PaletteSwap: Another reuse of Zyne's portrait. |
